the first devoted to it, after contributing an article on it to 

 Nobel and Yix's professional journal.^ Gerlach has de- 

 scribed it in his classical work on " Veterinary Jurispru- 

 dence/'- quoting FUrstenberg as an observer ; Giinther, 

 jun., in his "Myology of the^Horse,"^ alludes to it ; and in 

 Gurlt and Hertwig's " Magazin" are to be found excellent 

 papers by Becker (1838), Meeke (1839), Hertwig (1841), 

 Eielzel and Swanshon (1848), and Gerlach (1862). In 

 Hering's Stuttgart ''Eepertorium fiir Thierheilkunde," in the 

 Vienna " Vierteljahresschrift fiir Thiermedicin," in the 

 Munich " Deutsche Zeitschrift fur Thiermedicin " (1887), in 

 the " Oesterr. Monatsschrift fiir Thierheilkunde " (1885), and 

 in the " Wochenschrift fiir Thierheilkunde und Viehzucht,"

 Germany, is that issued in the present year by Professor 

 Moller, of the Berlin Veterinary School.^ 



In Italy, where Roaring is known as " Corneggio," "Ran-

 investigation for many years, Professor Bassi, of the Turin 

 Veterinary School, having devoted much attention to it ; 

 while in Denmark, where it is designated "Lungpiben," 

 Professors Bagge-^ and Stockfleth,^ of the Copenhagen Vete-
