Sixth, on Olga, (No. 6,) on the 7th of December. 



Seventh, on Martin, (No. 15,) on the 10th of December. 



Thus, twenty-four days after the admission of two sick cows, and eight 

 days after the introduction of a third sick animal, out of ten healthy ani- 

 mals, nine presented the abnormal indication of a peculiar cough. Only 

 one cow (La Caille, No. 11) continued in perfect health. 



After this first sign of sickness, the characteristic symi^toms of pleuro- 

 pneumonia appeared in six cows, in the following order: 



First, Olga, (No. 6,) thirty-one days after first contact. 



Second, La Noire, (No. 16,) thirty-two days after first contact. 



Third, Clara, (No. 1,) thirty-five days after first contact. 



Fourth, Eosine, (No. 9,) thirty-five days after first contact. 



Fifth, Norma, (No. 2,) thirty-seven days after first contact. 



Sixth, Coquette, (No. 3,) fifty-seven days after first contact. 



Of these six animals one only died, viz: Olga, (No. 6,) and her carcass 

 was removed to Alfort on the 6th of January, and there dissected by the 

 members of the commission. 



Of the five other cows in this stable, the reporters say that symptoms 

 of variable intensity and duration appeared, and they all recovered, with 

 the exception of some lesions recognized some time after by dissection. 



Of the three animals (Berthe, No. 8, Babet, No. 7, and Martin, No. 15) 

 which began to cough the first days after contact with the sick cows, 

 the only symptom which lasted, and is said to have continued for several 

 months, was the cough.
