to Cuba, and, in company with Dr. L. M. Vincent, veterinary sur- 

 geon, of that place, drove north to Rushford, about sixteen miles, 

 and examined a large number of cows on different farms between 

 those points, and found that anthrax had broken out on a number 

 of farms, and about thirtj-five cows had died from it. From 

 there I w'ent to Caneadea, and found that the disease appeared 

 among the cows on the farm of Henry Lilley. Stringent meas- 

 ures w^ere taken in this territory above described, and the disease 

 disappeared in about two weeks after my visit. On September 

 eleventh I went to Hamden, Delaware county, where I found 

 that anthrax had broken out on the farms of Charles Bush, 

 John Hawley and Frank Brant; seventeen head of cattle 

 had died from it before my arrival. I had all the cattle removed 

 to high ground at once, gave directions as to treatment, stopped 

 the sale of milk from the herds, and had no further trouble in 

 that locality afterward. On September twenty-sixth I went to 

 West Davenport, Delaware county, and examined the cows on 

 the farm of George Whitlock, and found them affected with 

 anthrax; three had died from it. On September twenty- 

 seventh I went to Clean, and examined the cattle on the Barse 

 farm, owned by Mr. F. Bartlett; also the cows on farms of Ed- 

 ward Bartlett and Charles Mitchell, and found that anthrax had 

 broken out among the cattle on all these places. From there 1 

 went to Morton's Corners, Erie county, and examined the cows on 

 the farm of David Auwerter, where I also found anthrax, and that 

 ten cows had died from it. 



On October third I went to West Turin, Lewis county, and 

 examined the herd of cows on the farm of John Bucher, and 

 found them affected with anthrax, and that twelve head 

 had died. I gave all necessary directions as to treatment, 

 and have heard of no trouble there since. On October 

 sixth, in company with Dr. M. J. Henderson, veterinary- surgeon, 

 I examined the cattle on the farm of W. W. Boyer, at Farmer, 

 Sieneca county; also the cattle on the farm of M. Bainbridgo, at 

 Kidder's Ferry, near Fai'mer, . and found them affected with 

 epizootic ophthalmia of a contagious nature. These herds had
