incapable of (lisplaciut; xubcutaueous injection of tuberculin as a diagnostic 

 procedure, is nevertheless a convenient and infinitely more simple measure, 

 capable of rendering real services to certain cases." D. S. White and E. 

 IMcCamiibell presented a paper previously noted (E. S. R., 20, p. 284) upon the 

 Ophtbalino-tul)orculin Test in Cattle (pp. S04-810). A New Method of Produc- 

 injj; in a Tul)erculons Human lieing, the Cutaneous Tuberculin Reaction, pre- 

 viously noted (E. S. R., 22, p. SC) was descril)ed by J. Lignieres (pp. SI 4-817). 

 In discussing The Intradermal Reaction to Tuberculin in Animals (pp. 821-835), 

 G. Moussu and C. Mantoux stated that this local reaction does not usually cause 

 any general disturbance, little or no fever, no loss of appetite, and little or no 

 loss of milk. " It develops without any change in the ordinary conditions of the 

 life of the animals and without its being necessai-y to take any measures or 

 special precautions. ... It reduces the obligations of the operator to a mini- 

 mum, by dispensing with every preparatory or supplementai-y measure (taking 

 of temperature, denudation of the skin, etc.). It is applicable to every kind of 

 domestic animal." Eartagglng Marketed Live Stock as a Means of Automat- 

 ically Locating Dangerous Tuberculous Animals Which Contaminate Milk and 

 Economizing their Eradication (pp. 837-848), was a subject of a paper by B. 

 Rogers, in part previously noted (E. S. R., 20, p. 186). 



The sessions of October 2, at which the control of tuberculosis in animals was 

 the subject under discussion was opened by Dr. Bernard Bang, who described 

 (pp. 8.50-808) Measures Against Animal Tuberculosis in Denmark (E. S. R., 20, 

 p. 791). Other papers presented at this session were The Control of Bovine 

 Tuberculosis, by J. G. Rutherford (pp. 809-878) previously noted (E. S. R., 21, 

 p. 385) : History of the Agitation Against Bovine Tuberculosis in Massachusetts, 

 Resulting Legislation, and Lessons to be Derived from the Attempts of the State 

 Toward its Eradication and Control, by A. Peters (pp. 884—901) ; The Use of 

 Tuberculin in Controlling Tuberculosis in Herds, by C. J. Marshall (pp. 903-908) ; 

 Bovine Tuberculosis in Maine for Twenty Years, by J. M. Deering (pp. 909-917) ; 

 The Value of Tuberculin in the Control of Tuberculous Herds, by Y. A. Moore 

 (pp. 918-923) : and The Problem of Bovine Tuberculosis Control, by M. H. 

 Reynolds (pp. 927-950) previously noted (E. S. R., 21, p. 179). 



At the closing session, held on October 3, the discussion of the control of 

 tuberculosis in animals was continued. D. A. Hughes, who spoke on the Pre- 

 cautionary Sanitary Legislation Against Tuberculosis of the Domesticated Ani- 

 mals in the United States (pp. 952-980), was followed by J. B. Plot, on the 

 subject Economic Survival of Cattle which Have Reacted to Tuberculin (pp. 

 984-98G) ; O. G. Noack, on the Meat and Dairy Herd Inspection as Preventive 

 Measures Against the Spread of Tuberculosis Among Cattle (pp. 987-994) ; J. F. 

 Heymans, on Vaccination Against Tuberculosis in Cattle (pp. 997-1001) ; and 

 L. Pearson, of Pennsylvania, on The Vaccination of Cattle Against Tuberculosis 

 (pp. 1002-1003). The session closed with a general discussion. 



Studies on tuberculosis in domestic animals, and what we may learn 

 from them regarding human tuberculosis, B. Bang (Trans. 6. Internat. Cong. 

 Tuberculosis, 1908, Sup. (Spec. Vol.), pp. 201-220). — This is a special lecture 

 delivered before the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Washington, 

 D. C, October 3, 1908. 



The relative importance in New York City of the human and bovine types 

 of tubercle bacilli in human tuberculosis at different periods of life, W. H. 

 Park and C. Kkumwiede [Trans. Assoc. Amer. Physicians, 2h (1909), pp. 135- 

 138). — Of 28 fatal cases investigated in young children, 22 were due to the 

 human type and 6 to the bovine type of the tubei'cle bacillus. Neither in age, 

 clinical symptoms, nor pathological findings was any distinctive differences 

 noticed which could be referred to the type of tubercle bacilli producing the
