Tuberculosis in Goats._-From the following it will be 
seen that the hitherto accepted theory that goats are 
immune to tuberculosis is not altogether correct. Bulling 
(Indian Medical Record) records a case of pulmonary 
tuberculosis in a goat. Both lungs were adherent, and 
large and small tuberculous foci were present. ‘Phe 
author concludes that it would be wellto examine into the 
possibility of the transmission of tuberculosis through the 
agency of goats, and to consume their milk only after boil- 
ing, or after the goat has been shown to be free from 
tuberculosis by the absence of reaction after the injection 
of tuberculin. 
Preservation of Water Mites.—Glycerine and Wicker- 
sheim’s fluid, one and a-half ounces of each, and distilled 
water, three ounces, the whole to be shaken and thoroughly 
mixed, and added to thirty ounces of ninety-five per cent 
alcohol. The colors of the mites are apt to fade somewhat 
if exposed to light, the collections should therefore be kept 
in closed boxes. . 
Exchange.—H. W. Parritt, 8 Whitehall Park, N. Lod- 
don, England, wishes to exchange microscopical slides, 
books and objects for crustaceans, echinoderms, sponges, 
zoophytes, shells and other marine objects, fresh or dried.
