5. The general , history of pleuro-pneumonia points to i 
Kingdom about the year 1840, but, unfortunately, no accurate account of the | 
outbreaks can be discovered, as the official records only go back to 1869. Fro 
return it appears that since 1869, 74,552 animals have been returned as at 
59,599 killed as diseased, 7,480 have died, and 7,470 recovered. Since the 
of the Contagious Diseases- (Animals) Act of 1878, which required the 
attacked by pleuro-pneumonia should be slaughtered, no returns have been 
animals that recovered. It appears'that’ outbreaks of disease have constantly 
in England, Scotland and Ireland for nearly 50 years, but have been of m 
occurrence and more virulent in type amongst the cowsheds of large centres. 
lation, such as London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, than elsewhere. This is 
attributable to the greater susceptibility of cows’ giving milk, and to the 
condition of the sheds in which they are kept. © = . te 
6. The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland have recently 
inquiry into pleuro-pneumonia, and have taken evidence on that subject 
eminent and representative men in Scotland. We have had the privilege 
an epitome of the evidence thus taken, and have had an opportunity 
some of the witnesses who gave evidence on that occasion. ss Bee 
7. Valuable as this evidence undoubtedly is, it is to be regretted 
published im eatenso instead of in its epitomised form, inasmuch as some 
important witnesses declared to us that, as at present published, it did é 
views which they desired to convey in their examination. We may § 
information, some of which will be found in the Appendix.
