26.    The suspension of work in the Chuikhadan State was due to trained
Vaccinators not having been available, and the Civil Surgeon, Raipur, points
out (rightly I believe) that it is difficult to get trained men to serve in this
State and some of the zamindaries as they receive pay only during the work-
ing season.

27.    If we exclude the work in the Chuikhadan, Kalahandi and Patna
States from the figures for the two past years, there is a decrease in the total
number of operations of 7,442.

The decrease has occurred in the work of the Vaccinators of the follow-
ing States:—

Khairagarh,
Sarangarh,
Raigarh.
Bamra.
Rehrakol.

In Sakti and Kawardha the amount of work is practically the same in the
two years, and in Sonepur there has been an increase.

The Civil Surgeon, Raipur, does not offer any explanation of the diminu-
tion in the work by the Khairagarh Vaccinators, which is only half what it was
in 1884-85.

The Civil Surgeon, Sambalpur, attributes the diminution in the number of
operations in Raigarh to the Vaccinators not having worked hard, and that in
Rehrakol to the State being thinly populated and to a dislike to vaccination
on the part of the Raja and people. In Bamra the vaccination is managed
entirely by the Raja.

28.    The only State in which the average number of operations performed
by the Vaccinators was any thing like what it should be is Nandgaon : but
some of the men have of necessity a very small population to work on.

29.    The percentage of success is slightly lower than it was in the previous
year.

The Civil Surgeons placed the ratio of success 3 per cent and the Native
Superintendent 10 per cent lower than that claimed by the Vaccinators.

30.    Two Native Superintendents were appointed to overlook the work in
the following Feudatory States and Zamindaries :—
