GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karachi, 17th June 1924.
MEMORANDUM.
The Commissioner in Sind has the honour to submit the report
of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and
Rajputana, on the working of the Veterinary Department during
the year 1923-24.
Charge.
2. The charge of the office of Superintendent was held by
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom throughout the year.
Mortality statistics.
3. The total reported mortality among cattle from contagious
disease fell from 5,488 in the previous year to
4,881 in the year under report.
Presumably the year was a less unhealthy one than its predecessor,
for there appears to have been some improvement in the reporting
of disease, due to the introduction of the monthly post-card system
of reporting.
Inoculation.
4. Preventive inoculations against rinderpest were carried out in
the case of 74 outbreaks, the number of
animals inoculated being 7,407 against 8,029
animals inoculated in 51 outbreaks during the previous year. The
number of inoculations against hœmorrhagic septicæmia was 2,025,
the reported mortality from this disease being 164.
Dispensaries.
5. No new dispensaries were opened during the year under report.
On the contrary, owing to financial straits,
the District Local Board, Thar Parkar, found
itself under the necessity of closing its dispensary at Umarkot, the
total number of dispensaries in the province being thus reduced
to 16.
Professional work.
6. The number of cases treated at the several dispensaries
shows an increase of 1,157 over the figure of
the last year. The number of animals
treated by the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons on tour also rose
by 767.
Veterinary instruction.
7. There were five stipendiary students studying at the Bombay
Veterinary College at the close of the year.
Breeding operations.
8. There were eight District Local Board stallions at the close
of the year. These covered 387 mares
during the year, the aggregate cost of their
maintenance being Rs. 4,770 of which Government contributed
Rs. 2,050.
Financial.
9. The total expenditure of the department amounted during the
year to Rs. 1,26,753 as against Rs. 1,63,489,

General remarks.
10. Khan Bahadur S. G. Haji, Deputy Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Sind, proceeded on
six months' leave on 1st March 1924, pre-
paratory to retirement. The post he held has been abolished, and
two appointments of Veterinary Inspectors have been sanctioned by
Government. Khan Bahadur Haji's retirement is a loss to the
Department, in which he has served for 32 years. His knowledge
and experience of Veterinary matters in Sind were unequalled, and
he possessed in a special degree the confidence of the people.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom, I.V.S., held charge of the office of Superin-
tendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and Rajputana,
throughout the year under report. He inspected all the veterinary
dispensaries and District Local Board stallions except the two
stallions in the Sukkur district ; and, when possible, attended out-
breaks of epidemic disease. He visited the local Pinjrapoles on
several occasions and inspected sites for the proposed lazaretto at
Karachi. He attended and judged the Jacobabad Horse and Pony
Show. He was on tour in Sind for 70 days and travelled 4,399 miles
by rail and 290 miles by road. In addition, he remained 10 days on
tour in Rajputana and travelled 2,046 miles by rail and 18 miles by
road.
2. Khan Bahadur S. G. Haji held the post of Deputy Superin-
tendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind, up to the 29th February
1924 when he proceeded on six months' leave preparatory to
retirement. He inspected the veterinary dispensaries at Karachi,
Tatta, Hyderabad, Larkana, Sukkur, Shikarpur, Jacobabad and
Kandkot; and attended outbreaks of epidemic disease when possible.
He was on tour for 46 days and travelled 2,708 miles by rail and 272
miles by road.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
3. There were seven stipendiary students at the Bombay
Veterinary College at the beginning of the year. Two passed the

and 1 in Larkana, under the Glanders and Farcy Act, against 2
cases destroyed at Karachi and Hyderabad in the previous year.

destroyed under the Glanders and Farcy Act, in the Karachi,
Hyderabad, Thar Parkar, Nawabshah, Larkana and Upper Sind
Frontier districts.
7. Rabies.—One horse was attacked and destroyed in Karachi.
Four horses bitten by rabid dogs were treated at Karachi with Anti-
rabic Vaccine with apparently successful results.
