The decrease in primary operations was confined to the work of the Pro-
vincial department, while the increase in the re-vaccination cases occurred in
both the Provincial and Feudatory State Departments.

9.    The number of Vaccinators was increased by 16, the increase being
confined to the Feudatory State Department.

10.    With a large decrease in the number of operations and a large
increase in the number of operators there was of necessity a diminution in the
average number of persons vaccinated by each Vaccinator, and it reached the
high figure of 234.

11.    The total cost of the 2 Departments was considerably larger than in
the previous year, the increased cost being due chiefly to the larger staff
employed and also to the vaccinating instruments being shown (in contin-
gencies) this year for the first time.

The average cost of each successful operation by the whole Vaccine
Department was Rs. 0-0-2½ more than in the previous year.

In calculating the cost of each successful operation by the Provincial
Department one-third of the Sanitary Commissioner's salary is included; but
if (to give a fair comparison) we exclude this, we find the cost to be by Provin-
cial Department Rs. 0-1-8 and by Feudatory State Department Rs. 0-1-7.

                               DISPENSARY VACCINATION.

                              (Provincial and Feudatory State ).

12.    A comparison of the work done in the two past seasons is given
below:—

13.    The total number of operations performed by Dispensary Hospital
Assistants is 7,478 less than in the previous year, the decrease being in both
primary and re-vaccination cases and by the Hospital Assistants in charge of
both Provincial and State dispensaries.

14.    As usual the ratio of success claimed by Hospital Assistants is
considerably lower than that returned by the Vaccinators.

The ratio of success in Hospital Assistants' work as found by Civil Surgeons
on inspection is in some cases higher, and others lower than that of the work
of Vaccinators.
