Memorandum from the Commissioner in Sind (Mr. W. F.
Hudson, C.I.E., I.C.S.) No. P. 358-E dated 1st July 1929.
RESOLUTION.—The report on the administration of the Bombay
Veterinary College during the year 1928-29 is satisfactory. The
number of students on the rolls was 98, out of whom 67 passed
their examinations successfully. Government are pleased to note
that the treatment of Surra by means of an injection of 'Bayer 205
was tried with success in the College laboratory.
2. The Civil Veterinary Department continued to take preven-
tive measures against the spread of contagious diseases both in the
Presidency proper and in Sind. In the Presidency proper 32,721
animals were protected against Black Quarter as against 3,306 in
the previous year. Out of the animals thus protected only 40 died,
Q 30—9
56
whilst of the unprotected 2,401 succumbed to the disease. This is
the first time that inoculations against this disease have been
undertaken on such an extensive scale: the results are very
satisfactory. Government are glad to note that the number of
bovines protected against rinderpest by means of the serum-simulta-
neous method of inoculation has increased from 98 in the previous
year to 182 in the year under report. In view of the recommenda-
tion of the Royal Agricultural Commission on the subject, they
trust that this method of inoculation will be more extensively
adopted.
3. Government recognise the imperative need for an increase in
the number of veterinary dispensaries, but regret that owing to the
existing financial-stringency no progress in this direction is at present
possible. They are pleased to record their appreciation of the work
of the department during the year under report.

To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit herewith the forty-fourth Annual
Administration Report of the Bombay Veterinary College.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
K. HEWLETT,
Indian Veterinary Service,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
Q 21—1
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE
FOR THEY EAR 1929-30
Mr. K. Hewlett, the Principal of the College, and Mr. V. R. Phadke,
the Assistant Principal, held charge of their respective appointments
throughout the year under report as also did Khan Saheb Shaikh
Ahmed, Mr. M. Mohey Deen and Mr. K. B. Nair. Mr. P. Miranda
was on leave for 15 days on account of illness in August during
which period Mr. J. M. C. Rebello acted in his place.
2. The Students.—There were 104 students' names on the rolls
on the 1st of April 1929. (The Annual Professional Examination
were held in April.) Of these 104 students, 98 appeared for the
examinations and 66 passed successfully. Of the successful
students 23 having passed the Final Examination left the College;
20 were promoted to class C from class B and 23 were promoted
to class B from class A. In addition to the above one student from
class C, one student from class B and two students from class A
appeared for the Supplementary Examination held in October and
all passed. The one from class C having qualified left the College,
the one from B was promoted to class C and the two from
class A were promoted to class B. Nine students discontinued the
course after having failed, three were unable to continue on account
of family circumstances and one on account of illness.
3. In June 1929, 64 new students were admitted to class A
and 2 old students were re-admitted—1 to class A and 1 to class C.
There were thus 134 students on the rolls at the commencement of
the First Session.
4. Of the 64 new students admitted, 20 were natives of the
Bombay Presidency, 22 of the Central Provinces, 11 of Mysore, 1 of
Gwalior, 2 of Travancore, 1 of H. E. H. the Nizam's Dominions,
1 of the Punjab, 4 of Kashmir and 2 of Ceylon. Of the new
students one had passed the B.A., 2 Intermediate Arts, 3 First.
Year Arts, and 52 the Matriculation or S.L.C. Examinations. The
remaining students passed the College Entrance Test or were
otherwise eligible for admission. The new students classified
according to caste were 30 Brahmins, 4 Marathas, 1 Rajput, 17 other
Hindus, 9 Mahomedans, 1 Indian Christian and 2 Singhalese.
5. The results of the Annual and Supplementary Examinations
held during the year were as follows:—
In the final year or class C, 29 students appeared and 24 passed.
In class B 31 appeared and 21 passed and in class A 42 appeared
and 25 passed. The percentages therefore this year for the three
classes were 82.75, 67.74, 59.52 respectively as against 76.66,
74.28 and 63.41 last year and on the total 68.63 as against 70.75
last year.
4
6. Of the 134 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
1st Session (June) three students discontinued the course on account
of ill-health and family circumstances and one left the College having
passed the Supplementary Final Examination. There were thus
130 students' names on the rolls at the end of the year as against
104 at the commencement.
7. There were nine scholarships vacant at the commencement of
the year, viz., 7 for youths from the Presidency proper and 2 for
youths from Sind. Of the 7 vacancies from the Presidency proper
6 were due to 6 scholars having graduated in April and one was
due to a scholarship having been withdrawn as the student failed
to pass his examination. Of the two vacancies from Sind one was
due to a scholar having graduated in April and one had been vacant
since the previous year. The Principal awarded 7 scholarships to
students from the Presidency proper and the Commissioner in Sind
sent one new scholar. There were in all 14 scholars from the
Presidency proper and 5 from Sind.
The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to 11
scholars already studying at the College and sent 22 more scholars.
Baroda, Kolhapur, Jamkhandi and Barwani States continued
stipends to their scholars. In addition Gwalior State sent one
scholar and the Jammu and Kashmir Government sent 4 scholars.
There were thus 61 students in receipt of some assistance from
scholarships and 69 without such assistance at the end of the year.
8. The Students' Hostel.—The College Hostel was fully occupied
and several students had to find accommodation outside the College.
All arrangements regarding the Hostel were satisfactorily carried
out by Mr. Miranda.
9. The Students' Gymkhana.—Football, Hockey, Tennis and
Cricket were played as usual and matches against outside teams
were arranged as in previous years. Athletic sports were also held
as usual.
10. Riding Class.—The Final year students went through the
course of equitation at His Excellency the Governor's Body Guard's
Riding School at Mahalaxmi.
11. Excursion of Students.—Local Excursions to places of
interest were made as usual.
12. The Health of Students.—The health of students in general
was good. There was no epidemic or severe illness. The Medical
Officer attended regularly.
13. Discipline.—The attendance of students at lectures,
demonstrations and clinical classes was satisfactory and their
behaviour was good.
14. Clinical Instruction.—This was carried out as usual in the
Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals. During the
year under report, 2,388 In-patients and 944 Out-patients were
treated, a total of 3,332 patients. Of the In-patients 354 were
equines, 1,417 bovines and 617 miscellaneous. The average daily
attendance was 140. Six dogs were subjected to Anti-rabic treatment.

The treatment of Surra by means of intravenous injection of
"Bayer 205" was further tried with success. The trematode worm
found last year was described and recorded in a Veterinary
Bulletin.
16. Employment of Graduates.—Of the 24 students who passed
in 1929,13 are in the service of Government or Local bodies, 9 are
in the service of Indian States, 2 are unemployed although there
are vacancies available outside the Presidency.
Of the 23
graduates who passed in 1928, 16 are in the service of Government
or Local bodies, and 7 are in the service of Indian States. Of the
18 graduates who passed in 1927, 16 are in the service of
Government or Local bodies 1 is in the service of an Indian
State and 1 died. Thus out of a total of 65 graduates passed out
during the last three years, 45 are in the service of Government or
Local Bodies, 17 are in the Service of Indian States, 2 unemployed
and 1 died.

17. The College Buildings.—The ordinary current repairs to
the buildings were carried out as usual by the Public Works
Department. The construction of the Laboratory has been still
delayed on account of financial stringency.
18. Extra Duties.—Mr. Hewlett served as President of the
Board of Examiners at the Bengal Veterinary College and also at
the Madras Veterinary College. He also attended the meetings of
the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research and the Board of
Agriculture at Pusa in December.
19. General Remarks.—His Excellency the Governor of Bombay
visited the College on February 27th and expressed his appreciation
of the Institution. The Principal has to record with regret that
Mr. Burt, the Instructor of Shoeing at this College, proceeded to
Europe on leave and resigned. His resignation is a loss to the
College.
During the year under report it was decided to restrict admission
to the College to University Matriculates only for all future
entrants. The increased number of students attending the College
has thrown a considerable amount of extra work on to the teaching
staff and the Principal desires to record his appreciation of the way
in which it has been performed.

BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE :
Parel, 30th June 1930.
From
K. HEWLETT, ESQ., O.B.E.,
Indian Veterinary Service,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Administration Report
of the Bombay City and Harbour Veterinary Department for the
year 1929-30 dealing with equine diseases scheduled under the
Glanders and Farcy Act within the Town and Island of Bombay,
Bandra Municipality and Bombay Harbour and with the work
performed under the Live Stock Importation Act.
2. I held charge of the Department. Mr. Phadke held charge
as Assistant Government Veterinary Officer throughout the year.
Mr. J. M. C. Rebello, the Deputy Superintendent, was on leave for
45 days from 26th March 1929 to 9th May 1929 during which
period Mr. R. C. Nathani, the Acting Chief Veterinary Inspector,
acted in his place.
3. During the year under report 6 horses suffering from Surra
were seized, 3 were destroyed, 1 died and 2 were successfully treated
by Bayer 205. Three horses were destroyed under the Live Stock
Importation Act for Glanders, (non-clinical) as under:—
(i) Glanders.—There were 3 cases—all non-clinical—as against 3
(1 clinical and 2 non-clinical) in 1928-29 and 6 (2 clinical
and 4 non-clinical) in 1927-28. All the 3 cases belonged
to Arab importers.
(ii) Epizootic Lymphangitis.—There was no case of this disease
this year as against one last year and none the preceding
year.
(iii) Surra.—There were 6 cases of this disease as against 2 last
year and 6 in the preceding year. All belonged to owners
of carriages plying for hire. Three were Arabs and 3 country
breds.
4. During the year under report 2,959 horses were imported into
Bombay as against 3,018 last year and 2,988 horses, 30 mules,
7 Donkeys and 8 Zebras in the preceding year.
