I. SEASON AND RAINFALL.—The season during the past year was unusually dry.
(a) Dodabetta.—The rainfall registered on this estate during the past year was
40.11 inches as against 66.96 inches in the year before, or 26.85 inches less. October
was the wettest month in the year, but the rainfall in that month was only a little
over half of what had been gauged in the same month the year before. The fall of
rain in June and July was very light when compared with the rainfall of those months
the year before.
(b) Nedivattam.—On the Nedivattam estate 78.93 inches of rain were registered
during the past year. This was 13.79 inches less than the quantity which had been
gauged in the previous year, viz., 92.72 inches, and 12.09 inches less than the
average rainfall for the past ten years, viz., 91.02 inches. July and August were the
wettest months, when 25.14 and 18.40 inches were registered. The amount of rain
in these two months alone was more than half the rainfall for the whole year.

matter and all soluble salts are washed out of the soil during the rains, the result being
that the land is left miserably poor.
(c ) (1) Pykara—Hooker.- This plantation under the management of the late
Mr. M. Collins has greatly improved during the last ten years. The trees upon it are
for the most part of a good sort, crown and crown hybrids ; and all the young plan
-tations have been deeply cultivated and manured in the same way as has been described
under Dodabetta and Nedivattam. There are still patches of red bark, here and there,
upon the plantation, and there is a considerable area which was planted up twelve
years ago with Nedivattam hybrids. The trees on these plots will in due course be
replaced with pure Cinchona officinalis;a s m a l l p o r t i o n o n a b a r r e n r i d g e h a s b e e n
abandoned, at any rate for the present. By leaving this ground fallow for some years
it may recuperate, but time only can determine this.
(2) Wood.—The young trees on this plantation have during the last few years
come on remarkably well ; and will at any time, when needed, yield a good harvest
of bark. The portions, which were abandoned some eight years ago, might with
advantage be taken in hand again and replanted.
IV. UPKEEP.—The usual work connected with upkeep has been attended to, and
all buildings, roads, drains and bridges have been kept in good order during the
past year.
V. MANURE.—During the past year all the estates were as usual well provided,
with manure. At Dodabetta, that, made on the estates, was supplemented by 1,464
cart-loads obtained from the town of Ootacamund.
VI. NURSERIES.—The nurseries on all the estates are well stocked with seedlings
and plants which have been raised from seed taken from the Dodabetta crown barks,
as mentioned above, under III —General Condition— (a ) Dodabetta.
VII. CROP.—The quantity of bark harvested during the past year was 125,557 lb.

IX. FACTORY.—The manufacture of quinine and febrifuge in the factory at
Nedivattam was carried on continuously during the past year, with the exception of
three weeks in May, when a fitter who was obtained from the Public Works Workshops,
Madras, overhauled all the machinery, and three weeks at Christmas for cleaning up
the place and for repairs.

-tured; the quantity in stock at the beginning of the year was 3,845 lb. 12 oz.This

(e) Death of Mr. M. Collins.—It is with much regret that the death of Mr. M.
Collins, late Superintendent of the Pykara Estates, has to be reported. Mr. Collins
had been in charge of these estates since 1884; and from being practically ruined, he
worked up the two plantations of Hooker and Wood into the condition in which they
are at present. Mr. Collins died suddenly of heart disease on the 21st October 1894,
while staying with his parents at Ootacamund.
(f) Appointment of a new Superintendent to the Pykara Estate.—Mr. Robert
MacFeat has been appointed Superintendent of the Pykara Estate in the place of the
late Mr. M. Collins.
(g) Permanent advance.—In the year 1883 the permanent advances held on
behalf of the Cinchona Department were as follows:—
RS.
Head office

1,500

At present the permanent advances are as follows:—

The reason for this reduction is the abolition of the system of making advances to the
maistries on account of labour supplied by them.
(h) Charts showing diagramatically the rainfall, crop and expenditure on each of
the estates which have been prepared by Mr. H. V. Ryan, Superintendent of the
Dodabetta Estate, are sent herewith for the use of Government, but not necessarily for
publication in this report.
(i)Store Returns.— In accordance with G.O., No. 920, dated the 13th September
1893, Financial, communicated to this office under G.O., No. 3616, dated 2nd October
1893, Revenue, an inventory of the valuable stock in the custody of the Government
Quinologist and the Superintendents of the estates has been made.
(j) Service Books.—All the service books have been kept duly written up to
date.
