George’s and Charles counties, and the amount of shells vastly greater; on this 
account the whole nature of the marl is changed; it then contains very little 
potash and very large amounts of carbonate of lime. A few of very many 
analyses of Maryland marls, made in the laboratory of this department, will be 
given in the next report, for the purpose of illustrating the general composition 
of Maryland greensand marl. 
TA. 
RINDERPEST. 
Stories are circulating in agricultural papers to the effect that rinderpest exists 
in Maryland, Virginia, and other sections. Not a particle of evidence is found 
to sustain such statements. Not a case of “rinderpest,”’ it is perfectly safe to 
say, has ever appeared in this country. There has been some LAA among 
cattle in Maryland and Virginia, in some cases luug disease, in others ‘* hollow 
horn,” &c., but no European cattle plague, or anything like it. If that disease 
ever does appear, it will make itself felt and known without laborious efforts to 
advertise it into notoriety. 
IMMIGRATION. 
The immense immigration to this country of the few years past is not only 
continued but increased. The following statement of the passengers from foreign 
countries, during the third quarter of the calendar year of 1867, is condensed from 
the report of the Director of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. The first 
column represents only the immigrants :
