contributions from private sources ; and the sums actually disbursed and the expenditure
in 1888-89 and 1889-90 under different heads were as follows :—

Average cost of each suc-
cessful case.

8. The average cost of each successful case of vaccination was two annas and
eleven pies against three annas and one pie in 1888-89, and the
averages as calculated include the pay and allowances of Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners. The calculation of this average is incorrect, as some portion of
the latter charges should be debited to sanitation and the remainder be distributed over
the circle of superintendence instead of being noted against the district in which the as-
sumed headquarters of the Superintendent or Deputy Sanitary Commissioner are nomi-
nally fixed. Thus the average cost of each successful case of vaccination in the Dehra
Dún district is wrongly noted as Rs. 3-13-9 from the practice of debiting this district
with the cost of the superintendence, which covers the whole circle, comprising 13 districts.
The average expenditure is somewhat greater in the Oudh districts than elsewhere, owing
to the necessity of employing a proportionately large number of vaccinators to operations
performed where prejudice against vaccination must be met at numerous points. The
average cost in the districts of Meerut, Agra, Moradabad, Lucknow, Benares and
Jhánsi, though seemingly, is not actually, higher than elsewhere. This is accounted for
by the incorrect method of debiting the pay of Deputy Superintendents against those
districts instead of distributing the amount over the division.

General operations in
1889-90.

9. The total number of persons vaccinated during the year was 800,757 against
764,190 in 1888-89, and of the former number 414,264 were
males and 386,493 females. Each vaccinator performed, on
an average, 1,144 operations in comparison with 1,128 in the previous year. There
were 785,957 cases of primary vaccination against 743,140, and 14,800 cases of re-
vaccination against 21,050 in 1888-89. The percentage of successful cases of primary
vaccination was 93.27 and of revaccination 65.00. In all 710,049 successful operations
were performed against 668,154, or an increase of 41,895 in the number of successful
operations, and 16.09 per thousand of the population were successfully vaccinated
against 15.14 in 1888-89 and 14.72 in the previous five years from 1885 to 1889. There
has been thus a satisfactory increase in the number of successful operations, also in the
average number of operations performed by each vaccinator, and in the number of
persons vaccinated per thousand of the population, and the percentage of successful
primary operations has risen from 92.74 in the previous year to 93.27 in 1889-90.

Vaccination according to age.

10. Of the total number of successful primary operations 323,922 were perform-
ed on children under one year of age, and 335,856 on children
over one and under six years of age, or a percentage of
