Appendix VII, showing against each horse his coverings of the previous year,

10.    This report does not relate to the period in which the Department has
been supervised by the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, and that
may account for the baldness of Mr. Cappel's review. The Director's next
review should contain a comprehensive examination and discussion of the opera-
tions of the Department and of their results.

Breeding Operations that the annual district returns required for his report
were not received from some of the District officers till late in July last, and the
report could not therefore be submitted to the Government of India by the
prescribed date. To ensure the punctual submission of the report to the Gov-
ernment of India in future, the Collectors and Political Agents concerned should
be requested to transmit their returns to the Superintendent by the 1st of May
in each year.
