The application of Sanatol, E. Kruger {Zischr. Vet., U {1900), Xu. J, pp. 124, 

 125). — Sanatol has been recommended for gross disinfection and as a deodorizer and 

 repellant of flies. Experiments were conducted in which stalls were sprayed with 

 a 1 per cent aqueous solution of Sanatol. This application had a striking effect in 

 repelling the flies fi-om the stable. 



Carbon bisulphid, E. Perroxcito {Glor. R. Soc. Accad. Vet. Ilal., 49 {1900), No. 

 4, pp. 75-79). — The author calls attention to the great value of this substance in fight- 

 ing phylloxera and states that its antiseptic power is not very great. Spores of the 

 anthrax bacillus survived an exposure to this substance of 49 days' duration. 



Treatment with bisulphid of carbon, J. Dufolr {Chron. Agr. Canton Vaud, 13 

 {1900), Xo. 5, pjp. 89-101, fi(js. 2). — A general account of the nature and action of

 stations.

Dietary studies of university boat cre^ws, W. O. Atwater and 



A. V. Bryant {U. S. Dtpt. Agr.., Office of Experiment Stations Bui. 

 75., pp. 7iT). — With a view to studying the effects of muscular work on 

 food consumption, dietaiy studies were made with the Harvard Uni- 

 versity and Freshman boat crews when training at Cambridge and 

 before the races at Gales Ferr}- with the Yale University crew at 

 New Haven and Gales Ferrj^, and with the captain of the Harvard 

 Freshman crew at Gales Ferry. The results of the studies are sum- 

 marized in the following table:
