 calves, .(. I.HiNiERKS {liiil. .S'oc. ('cut. Mrd. \(i.. s'l (inm). \n. .>. pp. J.l-.W). — 

 A iieciilinr form of i)neuuioni;i previiiled anionic a herd of calves in Arjien- 

 tina. 'I'he disease ajipeared suddenly with a hii,di fever and rapid resi)irati<)n. 

 The temperature usually rose ahove 40° ('. and the majority of affected animals 

 (lied. The lesions were lar,i,'ely confined to the thoracic cavity, which was tilled 

 with a reddisii lluid. The ])ericardium and ])leura were somewhat infiltrated 

 and the lungs extensively liepatizi*d. A peculiar form of |iasteur(»lla was 

 isolated from these cases and attemjits were made to treat some of the atlV'cted 

 animals with a i>olyvalent serum. The results were encouraLcin.i^ in mild cases, 

 hut only one serious case was cured hy this method.

Acute mastitis with, fatal results following foot-and-mouth disease, G. P. 

 MoKETTi (('////. Vet. \MUan'\, 30 (lUiil). Yo. ](), pp. Ufo-l'il). — Notes are given 

 on the clinical symptoms in two cases of acute mastitis winch appeared during 

 the course of foot-and-mouth disease. Injections of a .") per cent solution of 

 creolin were made in the udder and caffein was als(j administered without nmcli 

 beneficial effect. 



Sheep scab and enzootic ophthalmia, F. W. Gakxett (Vet. Rec, 1!) (1907), 

 .Yo. H7.3. p. o'>Ji). — Carbolic dip had been u.sed in double strength on a herd of 

 sheep infected with scab. When the author examined this herd of sheep a 

 number of cases of ophthalmia were observed, which were at first supposed to 

 be due to the irritating effect of the dip. This was found, however, not to be 

 the case, from which it appears that troubles of this sort may sometimes 

 wrongly he attributed to the action of the dip. 



Creosote as a remedy for parasitic gastritis in sheep, TI. Taylor (\'ct. Rec, 

 1!) (1907). .Yo. .970. p. 492).— \ flock of sh(>ep iKvame badly infested with 

 Stro)iff!/lii.^ cotttortun and the author tested the value of creosote in combating 

 these parasitic worms. A 1 per cent solution of coal-tar creosote In water 

 was i)re]iared and each sheep was given 4 oz. of this solution. Previous to the 

 use of the creosote the sliee]) had been dying at freciuent intervals from the 

 effects of the stomach worm, hut after drenching with creosote no deaths 

 occurred during a period of VI months, after which the history of the sheep was 

 not followed. 



Saccharomycosis in the nostrils resembling glanders, (}. Marcoxe (Rev. 

 ar-n. Mf-'d. VH., 9 (1901), Islo. 101, pp. 2Ji9-2r>3) .—\n opportunity was had to 

 study lesions produced by SacclKirotin/ce.'^ c</iii in the horses belonging to a 

 regiment of artillery. Symptoms developed which closely i-esembled those of 

 glaiuhrs. including a nasal discharge, swelling of the submaxillary glands, and 

 ulcerations of the skin. A microscopic exanunaliou of the nasal discharge, 

 liowever. at once disclosed the nature of tlie disease.
