have been treated for the disease at the Naples Chnique 

 during the space of five years. Bassi also reports a 

 number of cases at Turin. In Algiers the disease is 

 well-known in several regions both amongst horses and 

 mules. 



In Egypt, Bosso reported a number of cases at 

 Cairo in 1875, ^"^ ^ understand that the disease is 

 still met with there and known under the name of 

 Saurago, and by the Arabs as ' El djedre,' as distinguished 

 from glanders farcy, * Bou-cha K'ar ' or 'Bow-achem.' 

 The disease is also known in the Dutch Indes (Java and 

 Bali) under the name of * Patek.* 



Nocard and Leclainche state that the disease is also 

 known in Gaudaloupe, where they say that it and glanders 

 decimate the mule population. 



Tokishige also mentions having seen the disease 

 amongst cattle in Japan ; that it is not altogether rare, 

 and that, although there are some differences in the 

 symptoms observed in cattle and in the horse, the 

 saccharomyces appear to be the same. 



Zschokke and Nocard also make mention of a 

 disease affecting cattle in Gaudaloupe, viz., bovine farcy 

 or farcin du boeuf ; but Nocard appears to have found 

 that this disease (in cattle) was due to a streptothrix with 

 which he inoculated guinea-pigs, oxen, and sheep, but 

 horses, asses, dogs, and rabbits v/ere found to be immune. 

 Thus this would appear to be quite a different disease from 

 epizootic lymphangitis in solipeds, and also from that 

 noticed by Tokishige amongst cattle in Japan. 



According to Nocard and Leclainche there have 

 been no cases of the disease noticed in Central Europe ; 

 and Tokishige pointed out that there was no mention 

 of it either in English, German, or American literature.
