over the abdomen be included in the fold one out of thé scissors will
expose the viscera with the small elongate spleen lying upon them.
(c) .Remove the spleen with the forceps and lay it upon a slide.
(d) Snip off a small piece about the size of a pea and make three
streaks on a clean glass slide aa described under " Human Plague."
(e) Dry and wrap in paper.
Pinch up and slice away with the scissors folds of skin over the
groins, axilla and beneath the jaws. If enlarged glands are seen, cut
these in two and make smears by drawing the out surface of the gland
thrice across a clean slide.
Interpretation of reports.
(1) If the rat is very putrid plague bacilli even if present have
probably disappeared. The remark " many putrefactive organisms
present" may be taken therefore as showing that the result of exam-
ination means little.
(2) If a rat found dead, but not markedly decomposed, shows no
plague bacilli in the spleen it is probably not a plague rat.
(3) In some oases owing to putrefaction, etc., the plague organisms
cannot he diagnosed with certainty. Under such circumstances a
guarded opinion has necessarily to be given.
(4) In some cases organisms closely resembling plague occur in
rats. Where typical plague bacilli are not present a guarded opinion
will always be given.
APPENDIX 1I-X.
Rules for the Use of cyllin.
A. In disinfection for plague —
' 1. Directions for carrying out disinfection as laid down in the
Plague Inspector's Manual should be followed in using the solution of
cyllin exactly as though it were a solution of perchloride of mercury
remembering that cy Hin does not corrode metal and is easily miscible
in water.
2. To prepare cyllin solution—
(a) If cyllin be supplied in a drum, open this by cutting round
the top of the bung with a hammer and chisel or with a tin-opener
keeping close to the edge. Remove the cork with corkscrew ; cut a
wooden plug to fit the opening and keep plugged when riot using the
drum.
(A) Fill an ordinary zinc bucket to within 2 inches of the'brim
with water—to this add an ounce measure-full of cyllin. This will
make 2 gallons of 1 in 320 solution equivalent to the same quantity of
1—1,000 perchloride. Call this ordinary strength.
(c) To make a larger quantity. Pour eight bucket-fulls of
water (filled to within 2 inches of the brim) into a large receptacle ;
add 1 ollock (8 ounces) of cyllin ; this will make a solution equal to
1—1,000 perchloride solution.
Í16
(d) When required add two ounce measure-fulls of cylun to a
bucket or two ollocks to eight bucket-fulls making a solution equal to
1—500 perchloride of mercury. Call this double strength.
3. To disinfect—
Floors and Walls.—Use ordinary strength except in the case of
a oowdung floor when strong solution should be used.
Where plague discharges (sputum, blood, feeces, etc.) have
soiled the floor or other situation use strong solution ladling out the
disinfectant freely and scouring the floor with a sweeper brush or other
suitable substitute. Scrub articles of furniture, etc., with a scrubbing
brush or cloth.
Clothing.—Cast into ordinary solution for half an hour. Stir
about once or twice and see that they are thoroughly soaked with the
fluid.
The solution will not injure ordinary clothing.
Carts or other articles that require disinfection for plague by Huid
disinfectant should be first drenched with ordinary solution and then
thoroughly scrubbed over with a fresh supply of the same.
Hands.— Use ordinary solution.
B. For General Disinfection—
1 ounce of cyllin to 2 gallons of water will make disinfectant
solution equivalent in strength to 1—1,000 perchloride of mercury.
2 ounces of cyllin to 2 gallons of water will make a disinfectant
equivalent to 1—500 perchloride of mercury.
Use the stronger solution for typhoid or choleraic stools or wher-
ever the disinfectant is mixed with solid or liquid matter.
For cleaning out latrines, flushing drains, disinfecting barracks,
etc., use the weaker solution.
For clothing use weaker solution.
For instruments use weaker solution.
APPENDIX II-Y.
Description of the c Success Knapsack Sprayer.'
[A leaflet by Mr. H. M. LEFROY.]
Among the many forms of spraying machine which have been
produced and sold, the knapsack machine made also for use on the
ground as a bucket machine is pre-eminent for all round usefulness. In
India where spraying as a regular means of checking insect pests is
almost unknown, this machine fills most needs and is the most useful
pattern for general work. Its cost puts it beyond the reach of the
cultivator, and its small size and simplicity prohibits its use on large
trees ; but for work on crops such as coffee, tea, cotton, cereals, oil-seeds,
vegetables, etc., this machine is by far the most practical and efficient.
Knapsack machines are made by a variety of firms in Europe and the
United States. As a rule, the American machines are far ahead of others
in efficiency, and especially one pattern of knapsack machine which can
117
also be used on the ground. The combination of knapsack and bucket
machine is a great advantage and has led to the selection of the Success
machine as the best for introduction into India.
The machine consists of a small brass pump with an air chamber
fitted on to a copper reservoir holding four imperial gallons (one
kerosene-tin-full). A length of rubber tubing terminates in a nozzle
which breaks up the liquid into afine spray. At the top of the reservoir
is an opening for pouring in the wash, fitted with a fine strainer.
For use as a knapsack it is placed on the back, the straps passing
over each shoulder. The lever passes over the right or left shoulder as
desired, and is worked in one hand, the nozzle being held in the other
hand.
For use on the ground the short handle is placed in position in
place of the lever.
Fully charged, the machine weighs about forty pounds
The machine remains in good order for years ; there are two rules
for keeping it in order,—
Pour in wash only through the strainer, pump clear water through the
machine after use to clean it.
The only repairs likely to be necessary are either to the gland at
the top of the piston, which requires repacking or to the base of the
reservoir, which may require resoldering if the iron is wrenched and
torn out of the copper.
As the whole apparatus is of brass and copper, insecticides and
fungicides may be used in it without fear of corrosion.
One man can carry the machine on his back, pump and do the
spraying ; in practice it is found better to employ two men, one to hold
the machine and pump, the other to work the nozzle. When the
machine is to be refilled, they change. From an acre of cotton to five
acres of ground crops can be covered in one day. The machine can
be obtained for Rs. 46 from MacDougal Bros., Oriental Buildings,
Bombay.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BENGAL,
For the year 1905-1906.
PREFACE.
1. Charge.—I was in charge of this Department throughout the year, and
periormed both the functions of the Superintendent of the Province and
Principal of the Bengal Veterinary College. A second Imperial officer, Mr. D.
Quinlan, selected for this Province, arrived here in February last, and was
placed under my training.
Under India Government Resolution No. 2882, dated 1st September 1905,
15 districts of Bengal were transferred to the new Province of Eastern Bengal
and Assam, with effect from 16th October 1905, and a new district, Sambalpur,
has been added to the old Province, making the total number of districts
under my charge to be 33 only. As it appeared that the Director of Land
Records of the new Province took over the control of the veterinary works
of the 15 districts transferred, I did practically no work regarding their
inspection and supervision, etc. So that my report deals principally with
Bengal proper, bare figures only regarding the treatment of disease, the work-
ing of the dispensaries in those districts as furnished by the District Boards
being incorporated in the statements attached to this report.
2. Tours.—I was on tour for 216 days and travelled 985 miles by road
23,375 miles by rail and 398 miles by steamer.
II.-TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
3. (1) Contagious diseases, &c.—Table II gives the number of deaths from
contagious diseases during the year under report.
(a) Equine.—There were 530 cases of deaths from glanders and farcy, of
which 473 cases occurred in Calcutta and its neighbourhood alone. There is
but little doubt that more cases will come to light when the Glanders and
Farcy Act is enforced, for which, as stated in the college portion of this report,
steps are being taken.
(b) Bovine.—It will be seen from the attached Table II that cattle disease
was more or less prevalent in almost all the districts of Bengal. Rinderpest
was very prevalent throughout the Province, and caused heavy mortality in
the districts of Burdwan, Darjeeling, Shahabad, Sonthal Parganas, Balasore,
Ranchi,-Palamau, Manbhum and Sambalpur. The number of deaths from all
the diseases appears to be less than that of the previous year. This apparent
decrease is, however, not due to the less prevalence of disease, but to the
neglect on the part of the Police to report actual figures; these being most
unreliable in many cases. In 2 or 3 instances it came to my notice that
the Police failed to report serious outbreaks, and in some the disease
had been non-existent or occurred some months before the Police reports
were sent up. Consequently the machinery employed for the collection of
these statistics has been found to be insufficient to ensure even approximate
accuracy.
4. Preventive inoculation.—Very satisfactory progress has been made in
this direction during the year; 22,613 animals against 13,276 of the previous
year were inoculated, of which 166 only died after noculation.

V.—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
19. Table XIV (a) shows in detail the cost of the college and the depart-
ment during the year.
VI.—GENERAL.
20. The departmental work continues to develop gradually. Although the
second Imperial officer has been appointed on to work in the Province, the
want of a third to help and supervise the movements of the itinerent men is
badly wanted, in fact urgently required. The scheme for the reorganisation
of this department is still under the consideration of the Government of
India.
21. Staff.—Mr. Brand officiated as Assistent Superintendent and Principal
practically throughout the year, and he has shown that he is both capable and
reliable. The lecturers and inspectors worked loyally, and were very
instrumental in making the department show fair progress during the year.
I
must not leave out the office establishment, particularly the head clerk who,
although he was only entertained during the year, grasped the subject he had
to deal with with alacrity.
22. I hope the officers of the Indian Civil Service, officers in charge of
Court of Wards and the several others with whom I came in contact will please
accept my thanks for the friendly way they again assisted me in my work
throughout the year.
