The following is a tabulated report of the work of 

 eradication in the 1914-1915 outbreak of foot-and-mouth 

 disease in every State to July 15, 1915, which is self-ex- 

 planatory. Following the report is an additional tabula- 

 tion of an outbreak in Illinois due to the use of anti-hog 

 cholera serum contaminated with foot-and-mouth virus. 

 This outbreak was discovered on August 8, 1915, and con- 

 tinued almost constantly until November 26th, at whioli 

 time this additional report was made. Several herds, 

 however, have been slaughtered since November 26th, 

 which will increase the total slightly. This report is 

 supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture 

 from records received from their inspectors in charge 

 in the different states.
