this period, while the efforts of this Government officers havo in no way relaxed and the people themselves have in many places shown a disposition to sequinseo and eron co-operats in preventive meneures which do not conflict with their secil and religious usages, plague bas gradually spread to almost every art of India, and subject to certain seasonal factuations, tends to recas year after year with undiorinished viral- ence About a year ago the Government of India, noting in concert with the Royal Society and the Lister Institute, malo arrangements For the appointment of a scientific commission which is now investigating the onusation of plague in Bombay and the Punjab. Pending the completion of these searclics, which may oxicad over a long time and will, in any case, be directed mainly to scientific aspects of the problem, the Governor-General considered it desirable to place on razord in a concise form the resuite of the practical experionin which has been acquired in the last five years of acinal plague administration. The Local Govern- ments were accordingly asked for reports, based as far as possible on the personal experience of their officers, on the conditions affecting the origin)
and spread of plague, the charmeter of the measures to be adopted against it, the degree of saccess attained, and the cases upon which success or failure dopend. The amplo materials thus collected placi the Governor-General in position to indicate those preventive menzures- which appear under the present conditions prost likely to be successful in the future.
D
Inoculation with the prophylactic fluid now manufactured at the Parel Laboratory, is of valus not merely for the protection' which it afforda against plague, but also by rosson of its affect in mitigating the violence of on attack. The extent to which it may be adopted dopenda upon the strength of Fopuler sentiment in its favour or against it, and the Government hops that the people may be oucouraged to have recourse to it.
While the experience of the last five years establishes the utility of the messores «numer- ated above, it equally teaches that their application must depend upon the giraumstances of the locality, the charneter of the people, the stage which the disease has reached and the agency available for dealing with it.
Finally, the Governor-General would observa that in the last resort all preventive measures depend for their success upon the hearty co-operation of the people themselves, and that vory effort should be made to enlist their sympathies and to bring home to them, through their natural leaders nad in may other way that may be practicable, that it rests mainly with them to bring about by their own action the cessation of plugue in Tadin as it has long ogo disappeared from Europe.

The most conspicuous elange, in the opiniou of experts, in India regarding plague since the issue of the resolution of the July 16th, 1900, is the greatly increased importance now aberibed to the part played by rats in spreading and keeping alive the disease. Rats are exceedingly yusceptible to plagne, and when once they are infected they usually communicate the infection not only to mau, but also to houses which have undergone thorough disinfection. therefore, no essential to the sufety of the community to destroy infected rais as to segregate plague-stricken people.

The evidence which has been collected shows that the inspection of travellera by railway, road and steamship is often successful in averting or delaying the spread of plague, but that the efficacy of this messure depends on the circum. stances in which it is applied. It is of most value in protecting limited areas, such as bill stations and places so situated that inspection posts command all routes of access,. The more inspection of persons arriving by slower is, however, of little use, unless the rats on board the vessel are destroyed, or are prevented froni reaching the shore. A segregation camp for the detention of the sick is a necessary adjmet to every inspection station, but a one need be detained who is not netually suffering from plagae. In all other cases it is suficient to record the travellers' nomes and addresses and to arrange for thair being under surveillance for five days. Experienes boa shown that more contact with a case of bubonic Capsules plague in a railway carriage involves little
danger of infection. The example of prisons.
