OF THE OX. 27 



opuscula, all relating to cattle complaints, which scientific 

 students may consult with real gratification. I will here 

 transcribe the titles of the most important of these trea- 

 tises, the pregnant expositions of the two English physi- 

 cians above-named. 



That of Malcolm Fleinming : 



"A Proposal, in order to Dimmish the Progress of 

 the Distemper among the Horned Cattle, supported by 

 Facts. London, 1755." 



That of Peter Layard : 



" An Essay on the Nature, Cause, and Cure of the 

 Contagious Distemper among the Horned Cattle in these 

 Kingdoms. London, 1757." 



A great many accounts, treatises, and expositions on 

 the same subject appeared at the same time in France, 

 Holland, Denmark, and Switzerland. One, which ap- 

 peared in the last of these countries, is entitled : 



"Keflexions sur la Maladie du Gros Betail, par la 

 Societ6 des Medecins de Geneve. 1756."
