considerable amendment, and, as the course necessary for perfecting the
existing system, recommends (paragraph 25) that the Vaccinators employed
by all the Native Chiefs should, if possible, be placed under the control of
the Superintendents of Vaccination, and receive there pay on the Super-
intendent's certificates. In paragraph 26 the Inspector General shows the
distribution of these States into the several Circles of superintendence. Be-
fore passing any decision on this proposal, the opinion of the local Politi-
cal Officers should be obtained, through the Political Department. With
regard to the concluding portion of paragraph 7, the attention of His
Highness the Khan of Junjeera must be directed, by the Political Depart-
ment, to the advantages of vaccination, with an intimation that a Vacci-
nator will be sent to his State, should he desire it.

8.     Government observe with much satisfaction that twenty-five Vacci-
nators were maintained by Municipalities. The progress made in this
respect is gratifying, and the Right Honourable the Governor in Council
trusts that the extension of the system will receive the countenance and
support of all public Officers interested in Municipalities.

9.     Government also observe that Vaccinators are paid out of Local
Funds only in Sind, where they seem to render good service. This
example might be more generally followed, and the Governor in Council
requests that the Revenue Commissioners will draw the attention of the
Local Funds Committees to the advantages of increasing the number of
Vaccinators.

10.     The remarks in paragraph 31 of Dr. Arnott's report on the
accuracy of the returns are satisfactory. The attention of Superintendents
should be drawn to those contained in paragraph 32.

11.     Government observe with regret that in the Southern Circle the
vaccination of infants makes so little progress.

12.     The remarks of the Inspector General regarding the character of
the Vaccine Lymph sent out from England are of great importance, and
will be communicated to the Secretary of State, whose attention will be
drawn to the fact that the Lymph sent out in tubes has alone been found
to be useful. The quantity sent out is reported to be still insufficient, and
the Inspector General should be asked to report what quantity has been
received in the last three years, and how much will be required.
