THE MICROSCOPE. 211 



Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia. A report has been received of the new 

 features in the cattle disease, made by Chas. P. Lyman, F. R. C. V. S. 

 to Hon. Wm. G. LeDuc, Commissioner of Agriculture. Third Report. 



This report is read with extraordinary interest, since it touches 

 such a vital question of the times, for it not only affects cattle rais- 

 ing-, but meat eating as well. Prof. 1 .yman has given careful study 

 to the question, and has shown by finely executed diagrams the 

 various stages of the disease.

labor would be simple, in giving an idea of what is embraced in this 



volume of 488 pages. Largely a book of formulas that can but be 



valuable; with historic references as to this subject from 1817 to 



the present. At some future time an extended review will be given.

A description of this fine instrument, with cuts and directions,

 instrument.
