Brown's views on contagious pleuro-pneumonia, see under 

 that head.) 



By the invitation of Mr. Cope, I accompanied him to the 

 New South Wales Frozen Mutton Emporium in London, and 

 was shown over the very thorough and extensive establish- 

 ment where whole ship-loads of frozen carcasses of sheep are 

 constantly being received and distributed. They are all sewn 

 up in cotton cloth, and frozen solid, and stored in cold 

 chambers. Provision is also made for thawing them gradually, 

 which is so nicely managed that they are restored to a non- 

 frozen condition without detriment, which result is not 

 obtained by any other method. 



The details of this establishment's apparatus and methods 

 can be studied with advantage by those specially interested in 

 cold storage. 



FRANCE, GERMANY AND DENMARK. 



Acting on your instructions, I visited France, Germany and 

 Denmark, and having been honoured with letters of intro- 

 duction from the British Foreign Office to Her Majesty's 

 Ambassadors in these countries obtained for me through the 

 courtesy of His Lordship the High Commissioner, and having 

 numerous professional introductions, I had ample opportuni- 

 ties, so far as time would admit, of visiting such scientific 

 institutions as are controlled, as most of them are, by the 

 different governments. 



PARIS. 



I was fortunate enough to find an old friend in Paris, Pro- 

 fessor Liautard, of New York, who very kindly accompanied 

 Dr. Sugden and me to the Pasteur Institute, where we were 

 introduced to the director, the eminent scientist Roux, a 

 worthy disciple and the successor of the great Pasteur. This 

 eminent scientist is a very plain unassuming man, thoroughly 

 engrossed in his work and with no leisure for anything else. 



This is a large thoroughly equipped institution where all 

 diseases are carefully investigated, but its specialty is the 

 treatment of those who have been bitten by rabid animals. 

 Patients come there from all parts of the world for treatment 

 by inoculation with attenuated virus.
