43. Tippera Veterinary
Hospital.—Veterinary
Assistant H. C. Das Gupta
remained in charge of the hospital and dispensary. During the year 13 in-patients
and 620 out-patients were treated against 21 in-patients and 874 out-patients in the
previous year. The decrease is due to the fact that the Veterinary Assistant did
more touring work; he visited 207 villages and treated 3,425 animals for contagious
and non-contagious diseases.
44. Noakhali Veterinary Dispensary.—The dispensary remained open for 186
days. During the year 944 animals were treated (47 equines, 785 bovines, and 112
others) against 1,236 treated in the previous year. Eighty-five successful operations
were performed against 43 of the last year. The cause of the decrease in the number
of cases treated at headquarters is explained by the Veterinary Assistant remaining
longer on tour in the Mofussil where he visited 130 villages, treated 335 animals and
inoculated 742 head of cattle against rinderpest.

and 56 others, against 989 in the previous year, No explanation has been given for
the large decrease in the number of cases, but it is partly due to the omission of unseen

villages, treated 623 and inoculated 361 animals. The work of the Veterinary Assist-
ant has not been quite satisfactory and he has not shown sufficient interest in his
