The above table may be summarised as follows ; only premising that 2
deaths from plague in the uninoculated. which occurred in persons who were
not permanent residents of the yard, though temporarily living there at the time
of attack, are deducted :-

Numbers.
Attacks.
Deaths.
Twice inoculated
990
6  (0.6%)
1  (0.1%)
Once         „
270
5  (1.8%)
1  (0.3%)
Not inoculated
760
35 (4.6%)
21 (2.7%)
In the above table, average populations have been taken in each case as
the numbers present varied on each date when plague appeared ; the numbers
inoculated steadily increasing while those not inoculated decreased corre-
spondingly.
If the 1,260 inoculated 	had suffered to the same extent as the 760 not in-
oculated they ought to have had 58 cases and 34 deaths, instead of 11 and 2
respectively.    The number of cases therefore appears reduced by 81.03 per cent.
and the deaths by 94.1 per cent.                                                  
13.    Dhαrwαr Jail.-In October 1898 p]ague appeared in this jail as well
as m the town of Dhαrwar situated in the Southern Deccan.                  
The population of the jail varied from 360 to 380, but on the date of in-
oculation it was 374. Before inoculation was performed 5 cases of plague, of
which one was imported, and 4 in old residents of the jail, occurred all ending
in death. After inoculation of the entire jail population, only one case followed
two days after operation, but he recovered.                              
14.    Broach.--A town of 40,168 inhabitants situated on the sea-coast 200
miles north of Bombay.    Owing to the advent of plague, and consequent flight
of many of the inhabitants, only about half were found present when a census was
taken on 16th March 1899.   The average population for the previous when a census was
is estimated by those on the spot as 27,000, and this number is therefore adopted
for statistical purposes, in the figures given below, which are taken from a report
submitted by Dr. Burjorji Sorabsha, the medical officer employed by the Parsi
Panchayat to perform inoculation among the members of their community.
