Eighty-eight surgical operations were performed, of 

 which 4 were major and the remainder minor. 



The prevailing diseases were malarial fevers, bowel 

 complaints and rheumatic and skin affections. Malarial 

 fever cases were diagnosed microscopically before treat- 

 ment. 



There were no cases of infectious diseases, except a case 

 of chicken-pox (imported). Eight primary and three 

 revaccinations were performed in the early part of the 

 year. 



9. Accounts. — The total expenditure incurred during 

 the year was Rs. 3,12,427 as against Rs. 3,23,900 of the 

 preceding year. The principal items of expenditure are 

 pay of gazetted officers and establishment Rs. 1,78,680, tra- 

 velling allowance of officers and establishment Rs. 14,699, 

 publications Rs. 30,000 and farm expenditure, scientific 

 apparatus, books, contingencies, etc., Rs. 89,048. 



The gross receipts during the year by sale of farm pro- 

 duce, milk and other miscellaneous articles amounted to 

 Rs. 5,573 as against Rs. 9,680 of the preceding year. The 

 decrease is due to the abnormal rainfall (amounting to 72 

 inches) which damaged the crops.
