20. On completion of vaccination in the Ambálah
district, I sent one native superintendent and his vaccinators to

superintendent and his vaccinators to the Haripúr parganah
of the same State ; two native superintendents and their vacci-
nators to the Mailog State ; two native superintendents and

Pinjaur parganah, Patiá-
lah State.

On my arrival at Pinjaur I found the work had been
started. Every assistance was rendered by the Maharàja's
servants and not an objection raised by the people. The
total number vaccinated is 1,480 ; of this number 1,273 were
successful, and 159 were revaccinations.

After seeing the work well advancd in the Pinjaur par-
ganah, I proceeded to Mailog and inspected both native super-

of which 1,206 were successful, and 81 revaccinations.

Kuniah State.

I next visited the Kuniah State, where 149 were vaccina-

examined by me.

The Rajah of Sukét had refused to allow vaccination on
account of a famine in his State.

On the 18th and 19th December, I inspected the work

been performed was very small; but the people were difficult
