As recommended in some countries the Mercuric Chloride
test for the diagnosis of Surra in camels was carried out.
The results have not been found entirely reliable.
Anatomy Section.
83. Forty museum specimens and 30 dissected speci-
mens were prepared in this section during
the year.
A skeleton of a horse for the students was scientifically
articulated and a skeleton of a camel is similarly under pre-
paration.
The work of the measurement of bones of Indian bred
ponies and bullocks has also been taken in hand, and up to
the present about two dozen skeletons of these animals have
been measured, and the average length, width and weight of
bones has been arrived at. No definite conclusions can yet be
drawn until a considerably larger number of skeletons have
been measured and weighed.
Examination of Pathologi-
cal specimens at Superinten-
dents' headquarters.
84. Three hundred and one specimens received from
the subordinate veterinary staff
were examined in the laboratories at
the headquarters of Circle Superinten-
dents at Ferozepore, Rawalpindi and Ambala.
Medicine Section.
85. In addition to teaching the subject of medicine
the following work has been under-
taken :—
(i) Urine analysis.—This subject is taught in practi-
cal classes, and is regarded as an important
aid to diagnosis. It also provides a field for
experimental work.
(ii) An enquiry is being made regarding the incidence
of Deg Disease in buffaloes in the Sheikhupura
District, a report on which is under preparation.
Useful research work on modern scientific lines is being
carried out on indigenous drugs. The results obtained are
so far very encouraging. A detailed report is being com-
piled.
86. Owing to the abolition of the post of Veterinary
Research Officer no whole-time officer could be deputed to
carry out original research work in the Province.

Science, supplemented by practical demonstration in in-
