NOTES ON VACCINATION

                                                             IN THE

                              CENTRAL PROVINCES

                        FOR THE SEASON 1899-1900.

Cause of delay in submit-
ting the Notes.

The Notes were due in the Secretariat on the 10th June. The cause of delay
in their submission is due to the late receipt of the returns
from some of the Feudatory States (several of them
not having been received till July) and to the non-
receipt up to date of complete returns from the Sakti State. As, however,
the Notes cannot be delayed any longer, the statements have been closed without
them.
