Gandak to tide over the period until a more satisfactory

Library. In addition to the 1,656 bulletins, memoirs,

 tion of the catalogue of the library is in the press. 



Pusa School. The total number of pupils attending 

 the Pusa High English School on the 30th June, 1919, was 

 192 as against 160 on the corresponding date of last year. 

 Of the 1 1 students sent up for the Matriculation Examina- 

 tion of the Patna University, seven were successful. 



General health of the station. Although the neigh- 

 bouring villages suffered severely with the rest of India 

 from the influenza epidemic, it was noteworthy that the 

 number of cases on the Pusa estate were relatively few and 

 there was not a single death. This was not a little due to 

 the precautionary measures taken by the Medical Officer, 

 Mr. S. Gupta, and his staff, who deserve great credit. 

 Medical relief was afforded to 19,938 out-patients and 203 

 in-patients in the hospital and dispensary attached to the 

 Institute during the year under report.
