They include 'The Microscopic Structure and Mode of Formation of Urinary Calculi' (1873), 'On Mycetoma or the Fungus Disease of India' (1874), 'Report on Leprosy and Leper Asylums of Norway' (1874), 'On Leprosy and Elephantiasis' (1874), 'Modern Indian Leprosy' (1876), and 'Spirillum Fever: Synonyms Famine or Relapsing Fever as Seen in Western India' (1882)
