NOTE A. 



BREMEN, August 30. 



THE following report, drawn up by two German 

 veterinary surgeons, of a recent visit to London to 

 examine into the cattle murrain, has been furnished 

 by the agent of the North German Lloyd's at 

 Nordenhamra : 



" On Wednesday, the 9th instant, we, the under- 

 signed, were requested to be at Nordenhamm, if pos- 

 sible, the following morning. Upon our arrival we 

 were asked by the agent of the North German Lloyd's, 

 who had consulted with several of the chief cattle 

 exporters, to undertake a voyage to London at once 

 in the steamer Schwan, in the interest of the cattle 

 export from the Weser. The object of our mission 

 was, first, to examine as closely as possible into the 

 epidemic cattle disease raging in and around London 

 for some time past; then carefully to observe the 

 treatment of cattle upon the vessel during the voyage, 

 upon arrival, and at the time of disembarkation ; 

 lastly, to use every means in our power to prevent 

 obstacles being opposed to the continued export of 

 cattle from these ports to England.
