31.     As in previous years, preservative methods enabled dissections
to be kept going right through the term to the decided advantage of
the students.

32.     Four fresh sets of bones—two of the horse and two of the ox—
were prepared for the Bone Room.

33.     A most urgent necessity is the enlargement and improvement
of the existing Dissection Theatre. Its capacity was taxed to the limit
last year, and this year (1932-33) with a class of about 80 (more than
double that of last session).

34.     Pending sanction of the larger scheme of an Anatomical
Museum, until better times return, the Public Works Department have
been asked to sanction departmentally the construction of a temporary
shed for the Dissection Class to accommodate the larger number of
students in it.

                                             Hospital.

35.     During the year under report, 3,370 patients were treated in
the hospital of this College and 410 operations were performed against
3,201 patients and 238 operations of previous year.

36.     Out of 4,944 prosecutions under the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Act during the year under consideration in the Calcutta Police
Courts, some 247 animals were sent to the College Infirmary for rest
and treatment by the trying Magistrates against 8,802 prosecutions and
108 detentions in hospital during 1930-31.

37.     The fees for treatment, etc., were Rs. 17,103 and the cost of
feeding was Rs. 13,029 against Rs. 24,394 and Rs. 15,188, respectively,
of previous year. The latter figure, namely, cost, included the free
treatment and upkeep of riding ponies, breeding and draft cattle
belonging to the College and of free treatment of patients of poor
people.

38.     There is a well-equipped Shoeing Forge attached to the Hospital
where horses and cattle are shod with ordinary and surgical shoes.

39.     For facility of correct diagnosis of diseases, the X' Ray
apparatus, presented last year by the Royal Calcutta Turf Club, was
made use of whenever required.

40.     The motor ambulance of the College was in frequent demand
by the public in Calcutta.

                                   Lands and Buildings.

41.     Although great improvements have been made in this College
with regard to above, there are several urgent schemes still pending
sanction and allotment of money due to financial stringency of
Government.

                               Receipts and Expenditure.

42.     The main results of receipts and expenditure of the College
compiled in my office and preliminarily verified by the Accountant-
General, Bengal, are given in Table II of this report.
