2. Khan Saheb J. D. Buxy held the post of Deputy Superin-

I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTIONS.
3. The usual practical instruction in field work was given to all
newly joined Veterinary Assistant Surgeons but none could be
deputed to the Imperial Laboratory of Veterinary Research,
Muktesar, for training in Laboratory methods for want of funds.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
Table II.
4. Contagious diseases were reported from all the districts and
the City of Bombay. Seventy-four thousand,
five hundred and ninety-seven attacks and
26,734 deaths were recorded from these
diseases as against 109,375 attacks and 40,873 deaths reported
during the preceding year.
During the year 2,172 outbreaks were reported to the Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons and 2,178 were actually attended by them. In
the preceding year 3,037 outbreaks were reported and 3,021
attended. Veterinary Inspectors attended 117 outbreaks.
Equine Contagious Disease.
5. Among equines, outbreaks of Glanders, Epizootic Lymphan-
gitis, Anthrax, Surra and Strangles were reported. Thirty-five
cases of Glanders and one of Epizootic Lymphangitis were detected
and all were from the City of Bombay. There were 9 attacks and
7 deaths from Anthrax in Poona and Kolaba Districts.
Surra was reported from Ahmedabad, Kaira, Panch Mahals,
Surat, Thana, East Khandesh, Poona and Kolaba Districts and the
City of Bombay. Ninety-five cases were seized and the disease
was confirmed in 70 cases. These were either destroyed or died
before action could be taken. Thana and Kolaba reported 34 and
16 deaths respectively. Only two deaths from Strangles were
reported during the year from Surat District.
Bovine Contagious Disease.
6. Outbreaks of Rinderpest, Foot and Mouth Disease, Hæmorr-
hagic Septicæmia, Black Quarter, Anthrax, Cow-pox and Dengue
were reported during the year.
7. Rinderpest.—This disease was reported from all districts of
the Presidency Proper and the City of Bombay with the exception
of Broach. The disease was prevailing in the various districts
almost continuously throughout the year. The severe outbreak in
the Dharwar District which at the end of the year 1924-25 was well
under control, had practically ceased by November ; but apparently
extended into the Kanara District where the mortality from the
disease gradually increased until it reached its height in December.
In East and West Khandesh where the disease was increasing in
severity at the close of the year 1924-25, it gradually declined until
August, but in September again increased in virulence after which
there was a gradual decline in its incidence.
21
This outbreak appears to have spread westward through the
Nasik District (where the heaviest mortality occurred in the month
of May) and Dharampur State into the Bulsar and Pardi Talukas of
Surat District where a severe outbreak raged from the months of

September and in Nasik in October. Kaira District was affected
off and on throughout the year, but the disease appeared in a severe
form in January, February and March. It probably extended from

Preventive Measures.
Table III.
14. Preventive inoculations were undertaken by the staff in
800 of the 1,382 outbreaks of Rinderpest
attended. Ninety-one thousand and three
hundred animals were protected from the disease in this way. Two
hundred and sixteen inoculated and 13,133 uninoculated animals
died in these villages. During the year 1924-25, 117,358 animals
were protected in 975 outbreaks. The greatest number of inocula-
tions were undertaken in Surat District where 19,430 were performed.
Preliminary to the more extensive use of the Serum Simultaneous
method of protection against Rinderpest, the Director, Imperial
Institute of Veterinary Research, Muktesar, was requested to send an
officer to demonstrate to the staff this method of inoculation. He
very kindly deputed Mr. H. Cooper, M.R.C.V.S., for this purpose
and the thanks of the Department are due to this officer for the
valuable assistance given. The Bankapur Cattle Farm and the
Palghar Dairy Farm were selected for the purpose and 183 animals
were treated. More work of this nature would have been under-
taken but for unforeseen circumstances.
The treatment of affected cattle by iodine injection was continued
during the year with more or less satisfactory results.
15. Four thousand two hundred and twenty-five animals were
inoculated against Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia with protective serum
in 58 outbreaks as compared with 5,357 animals inoculated in the
last year in 53 outbreaks. Among the inoculated animals there were
four deaths only, while 509 uninoculated animals died in the course
of the outbreaks.
In 19 villages 1,759 animals were vaccinated with Hæmorrhagic
Septicæmia Vaccine against 1,275 animals in 9 villages during the
last year.
