Levine: Milk Produced in Southern China

among the native cattle of southern China, occurring once in 

 250,000 head and then only when the animals are closely stabled 

 with European cattle. Dr. A. Gibson, colonial veterinarian, 

 Victoria, Hongkong, tells me that he has seen but two cases of 

 tuberculosis among native cattle, during the thirteen years that 

 he has held his present position. These two cases were in bul- 

 locks. He has never seen tuberculosis in the Chinese water 

 buffalo. 



My measurements of twelve buffalo cows, in the college dairy, 

 May 20, 1919, are given in Table XIX. These twelve cows are 

 typical of the buffalo in southern China.
