    If on making these inquiries he is unable to ascertain that the child has been vaccinated, but the child is still resident in the district, the vaccination officer shall include the name and home of the child in a list which he shall send to the public vaccinator in the Form H. set out in the Fifth Schedule to this Order. The lists shall be sent once in each week, and the name of each child shall be included in such list that it may reach the publio vaccinator within three weeks of the child having attained the age of four months. The date of sending the_notice to the public vaccinator must be entered by the^vaccination officer in his report book. (6.) Where the vaccination officer shall have excluded from the list sent by him to the public vaccinator the name and home of any child owing to his having in his possession a valid certificate of postponement in respect of such child, he shall on the expiration of such certificate forthwith deal with the case in the manner prescribed by subdivision («) of this paragraph, unless such certificate shall be immediately renewed, or he shall have received in respect of the child one of the certificates mentioned in paragraph 2 of these instruc- tions. (c.) If the vaccination officer shall receive any certificate of postponement relating to any child not resident in his district he shall, so far as possible, transmit such certificate to the vaccination officer of the district where the child is resident.

If that notice is not duly complied with within the time specified therein, it will become the duty of the vaccination officer under the Vaccination Act, 1871, to take proceedings for the enforcement of the law. 7. The vaccination officer shall at all times use his best endeavours to ascertain whether children resident in his district, but not born in it, or, if so born, not having had their births registered in it, are unvaccinated, and it will be his duty in such cases, subject to the provisions of the Vaccination Acts, 1867 to 1808, to take the requisite steps for procuring their vaccination. Paragraph 6 of these instructions shall apply to such cases with the necessary modifications. 8. The vaccination officer shall keep a book, to be called The Vaccina tion Officer's Report Book, in the Form M. set out in the Fifth Schedule to this Order, in which he shall forthwith enter the particulars required with regard to children as to whom personal inquiries may have been made, with the dates of such inquiries, and also all certificates of postponement with the date of the certificate, the cause for which it was given, the name of the
