Wyoming had fifty-six cases, with fifty-four cases in skunks, 

 one in a cat, and one in cattle. 



Rabies continued to be epizootic in Saskatchewan and was 

 diagnosed in Alberta during 1970. Wildlife rabies was anticipated 

 along the eastern border of the province in skunks; however, this 

 did not occur. In November, 1970, a positive coyote was diagnosed 

 in the southeastern corner of the province. Within a space of four 

 weeks, a bull was diagnosed as rabies positive at Medicine Hat, and 

 in Central Alberta (Penhold and Red Deer) , a heifer, two coyotes, 

 a cat, and a pig near Vermilion were diagnosed as rabies positive. 



Eighteen abnormal or sick coyotes have been diagnosed and three 

 were rabid. Two dogs were rabies positive at Edmonton, but both 

 had histories of exposure in Saskatchewan. 



Although rabies has declines in Montana during the past year, 

 we can anticipate this disease to reoccur in wildlife populations.
