Sindh Circle.

There are four Assistant Superintendents in the Sindh Circle. Of
instances in which these men are useful, Dr.
Williams enumerates some of those mentioned in
para. 64. But he reports rather unfavourably as to the activity and
intelligence of two of them. The Assistant Superintendent of the Shikárpur
Zilhá, who, last year, was reported on unfavourably, is this year held up as
quite a model Assistant; active, intelligent, and possessed of great tact and
judgment. He was successful in discovering and bringing to notice the
absence, without leave, of two young vaccinators, in detecting very extensive
falsifications, carried on for some time past, by the vaccinator of H. H. Mir All
Murád. He is also reported to have stamped out an outbreak of small-pox in
Sáidpur, to have pointed out that " a certain mír " was employing an inocu-
lator, and, finally, to have fearlessly exposed every wrong doer. Of the other
Assistants, the one employed in the Thar and Párkar District is reported to
have done very good work, and to have improved and much extended vaccina-
tion in that Political Superintendency.

Káthiáwád Circle.

The report on the two men employed in this Circle is very favourable.
Dr. Butler found them useful, particularly in the
propagation of good lymph, in the verification of
returns, in the teaching of vaccinators generally, and in the suppression of
outbreaks of small-pox. At Wadwán and Lakhtar, where much difficulty was
experienced, an Assistant was deputed to arrange matters. This was done
with much tact, and to the entire satisfaction of Dr. Butler.

Rewá Kánthá Circle.

The Assistant Superintendent employed has not had any opportunity
of prominently distinguishing himself, nothing
unusual having occurred to call forth his latent
energies. He has, however, done his work well.

Superintendents.

66. Changes among the Superintendents have been fewer than in the
preceding year. Still they have been many. In
the month of June Dr. Butler resumed charge
of the Káthiáwád Circle, and has since remained in charge. Surgeon Lewis
and Dr. Robb until the month of May were in charge, respectively, of the
Central and Southern Circles. In that month they exchanged appointments.
Dr. Williams resumed charge of the Sindh Circle from Dr. Keith in Novem-
ber. In the other Circles the Superintendents were in charge throughout the
year.

67. Statement No. VII. shows the amount of attention which has
been paid by Superintendents and their Assistants to each táluká and zilhá,
as far as the travelling and inspection are concerned. The following table
shows the total of each Circle as given in this Statement:—
