Roaring in Horses. 



July of this year, I find that the average number of their 

 horses which are affected with Roaring, though doing duty, 

 is 6-14 per cent. 



The following table shows the ages of these horses, their 

 regiments, and average service : 



TABLE 1. 



The second table has been compiled from special returns, 

 and shows as exactly as possible the number of army horses 

 affected with Roaring, by corps ; it also exhibits the pro- 

 portion according to age, sex, size, and total number. 



From this table it would appear that the percentage 

 of army horses affected is 5 '42, and of course the Roaring 

 is present in all stages and degrees of intensity.
