GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Office of the Commissioner in Sind.
Government House, Karachi, 3rd July 1930.
Subject.—Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, for the year 1929-30.
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 1929-30.
Charge.
2. The charge of the office of the Superintendent was held by
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom, throughout the year
under report.
Mortality statistics.
3. The total mortality reported among cattle from contagious
diseases increased from 6,824 in the previous
year to 9,211 in the year under report. The
abnormal increase is due to the prevalence of "parasitic Gastritis"
disease among cattle other than Equines and bovines in all the
districts of the Province except Upper Sind Frontier district which
disease was responsible for the death of 4,986 animals. Rinderpest
was responsible for the death of 2,588 heads of cattle during the
year under report as against; 4,621 during the previous year.
Inoculation.
4. Preventive inoculations against rinderpest were carried out
in the case of 81 outbreaks, the number of
animals inoculated being 4,404 against 15,697
inoculated in 204 outbreaks during the previous year. The number
of inoculations against hæmorrhagic septicæmia was 739.
Dispensaries.
5. The number of dispensaries remained unchanged. As pointed
out last year the demand for an increase in
the number of dispensaries is undoubted.
It is gratifying to note that Government have approved of the
opening of one new dispensary in Sind during the current year and
have made necessary provision therefor.
Professional work.
6. The aggregate number of cases treated at the several
dispensaries fell from 28,521 to 25,531 during
the year under report, and the number
treated on tour rose from 4,546 in the previous year to 5,093 during
the year under report.
Veterinary instruction.
7. There were five stipendiary students studying at the Bombay
Veterinary College at the beginning of the
year. Four of them have passed the final
examination in April 1930, leaving one scholar at the end of the
year.
56
Breeding operations.
8. Out of the seven District Local Board stallions at the
beginning of the year, one was sold owing to
old age. 254 mares were covered during the
year as against 364 in the previous year. The aggregate cost of
the maintenance of the stallions was Rs. 4,109 of which Govern-
ment contributed Rs. 2,100.
Financial.
9. The total expenditure of the Department amounted to
Rs. 1,26,070 as against Rs. 1,41,133 in the
previous year.
General.
10. The department continued to work smoothly and efficiently
under the experienced
guidance
of
Mr. Jerrom.

Memorandum from the Commissioner in Sind (Mr. G. A.
Thomas, C.I.E., I.C.S.) No. P. 358-E dated 3rd July 1930.
RESOLUTION.—During the year under report the working of the
Bombay Veterinary College continued to be satisfactory. Out of
the 98 students who appeared for the various examinations 66 passed
successfully. Government agree that a laboratory for the College
is necessary but regret that in the prevailing financial stringency
funds for its construction cannot be made available.
2. The administration of the Civil Veterinary Department both
in the Presidency proper and in Sind was efficient. Government
are aware of the desirability of expanding the activities of the
Department but lack of funds has meantime arrested progress in
this as in other departments of Government.

RESOLUTION.—Government regret that there was a falling-off in the
standard of discipline amongst the students of the Bombay Veterinary
College, but are gratified to observe that a better tone prevailed towards the
close of the year. The report on the administration of the College is other-
wise satisfactory. As this is the last report to be submitted by Mr. Hewlett,
Government desire to take this opportunity of recording their high appre-
ciation of his services to the College and of his devotion to its interests
since he was appointed Principal in 1910.
2. The working of the Civil Veterinary Department, both in the Presi-
dency proper and in Sind, continued to be efficient. Government are glad to
observe that the use of the serum simultaneous method which was advocated
by the Royal Commission on Agriculture for prevention of rinderpest has
proved satisfactory.
3. Government regret to notice that the reporting of contagious diseases
in Sind still leaves room for improvement. The Commissioner in Sind should
be requested to issue instructions to the district officers concerned so that
contagious diseases are promptly reported to the Veterinary Department.
By order of the Government of Bombay
(Transferred Departments),
H. V. R. IENGAR,
Under Secretary to Government.

out the year under report. Khan Saheb Shaikh Ahmed was

medical grounds. Mr. Nair was granted leave out of India to

Mr J. P. Damri the Hospital Surgeon was appointed to act for
him.
2. The Students.—There were 130 students' names on the rolls
on the 1st of April 1930. (The Annual Professional Examinations
were held in April.) Of these 130 students, 119 appeared for the
examinations and 85 passed successfully. Of the successful
students 19 having passed the Final Examination left the College;
22 were promoted to class C from class B and 44 were promoted to
class B from class A. In addition to the above, two students from
class B and two students from class A were eligible and appeared for
the Supplementary Examination held in October. Only one from
class B passed and was promoted to class C. The three others failed.
Eleven students discontinued the course after having failed, and 6
were unable to continue on account of family circumstances.
3. In June 1930, 50 new students were admitted to class A.
There were thus 144 students on the rolls at the commencement of
the First Session.
4. Of the 50 new students admitted, 18 were natives of the
Bombay Presidency, 23 of the Central Provinces, 7 of Mysore, and
2 of Travancore. Of the new students 4 had passed the Inter-
mediate Arts, 6 First Year Arts and 40 the Matriculation or S.L.C.
Examinations. The new students classified according to caste
were 18 Brahmins, 3 Marathas, 4 Rajputs, 16 Other Hindus and
9 Mahomedans.
5. The results of the Annual and Supplementary Examinations
held during the year were as follows:—
In the final year or class C, 26 students appeared and 19 passed.
In class B 32 appeared and 23 passed and in class A 65 appeared
and 44 passed. The percentages therefore this year for the three
classes were 73.07, 71.87, and 67.69 respectively as against 82.75,
67.74 and 59.52 last year and on the total 69.91 as against 68.63

6. Of the 144 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
1st Session (June) three students discontinued the course on account
of illness and family circumstances, one died, one proceeded to
Europe for higher education and two were expelled from the College.
There were thus 137 students' names on the rolls at the end of the
year as against 130 at the commencement.
7. There were 11 scholarships vacant at the commencement of
the Collegiate year, viz., 6 for youths from the Presidency proper
and 5 for youths from Sind. Of the 6 vacancies from the Presidency
proper, 4 were due to 4 scholars having graduated in April and 2
were due to 2 scholarships having been withdrawn as the students
failed to pass their examination. Of the 5 vacancies from Sind,
4 were due to 4 scholars having graduated in April and one had
been vacant since the previous year. The Principal awarded 6
scholarships to students from the Presidency proper and the
Commissioner in Sind sent 5 new scholars. There were in all 14
scholars from the Presidency proper and 6 from Sind.
The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to 24
scholars already studying at the College and sent 21 more scholars.
Jammu and Kashmir Government continued stipends to their 4
scholars. Baroda and Gwalior States continued stipends to their
scholars. In addition, the States of Bhavnagar, Bansda and Chhota-
Udepur each sent one scholar. There were thus 74 students in
receipt of some assistance and 63 without such assistance at the end
of the year.
8. The Students' Hostel.—The Hostel was fully occupied and
several students had to seek accommodation outside the College.
All arrangements were satisfactorily carried out by Mr. Miranda.
9. The Students Gymkhana.—Football, Hockey, Tennis and
Cricket were played as usual and there have been several matches
against outside teams as in former years. Athletic sports were 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 as usual.
11. Excursion of Students.—Local
Excursions to places of
interest were made as in previous years.
12. The Health of Students.—The health of students on the whole
was good. The Medical Officer attended regularly.
13. Discipline.—The Principal regrets to have to record that
during the year under review there was some falling off in the
usual high standard of discipline amongst the students. Political
events had an unhealthy effect and produced a feeling of unrest and
impatience of control which resulted in a certain amount of neglect
of study during preparation hours. The attendance however of
students at lectures, demonstrations and clinical classes was strictly
enforced as usual. It was necessary to rusticate two students for
