from time to time, but none of the diseased dogs had been recently imported. 
The jackal, the probable source of rabies in India, is not present in this 
country, and though no doubt carnivorous animals susceptible to the 
disease in its violent form exist in the country, there is little probability of 
dogs being infected by their bites. The Musang (Civet Cat) may possibly 
carry the disease in some cases. . 
A more rigid enforcement of the licensing enactments and destruction 
of unlicensed pariah dogs would, in my opinion, render the outbreaks less 
frequent and less prolonged. In the event of an increased Veterinary Stan 
or of a Veterinary Police Force this enforcement would naturally form a 
part of their duties.
