Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. — On the 15th February Foot-and 

 Mouth Disease was confirmed on four separate premises in this District, 

 namely : — t\vo near Thame (Oxon), one at Bicester (Oxon), and one at 

 Luggershall (Bucks). Further outbreaks were confirmed on the i8th 

 February, near Bicester (Oxon), on the 21st February at Luggershall, 

 on the 22nd February at Wendover (Bucks), on the 23rd February at 

 Merton (Oxon), on the 26th February at Summerton (Oxon), and on the 

 27th February near Wendover (Bucks), making ten outbreaks in all in 

 this District to date. It has been ascertained that all these outbreaks 

 are connected with one another, but no origin has been discovered for 

 the initial case. The usual Order prohibiting the movement of animals 

 was issued on Sunday, the 15th February. These restrictions have 

 since been modified as regards the Outer parts of the Scheduled District, 



All restrictions on the movement of animals imposed in connection 

 with the outbreaks in Bedfordshire, Northumberland, Flintshire, 

 Lancashire, and Wiltshire have been withdrawn, and the restrictions 

 in Devonshire have been reduced to a very small area around Bow. 



Rabies. — The only events worthy of mention during the past month 

 are as follows : — A case of Rabies was confirmed (on the i8th February) 

 in a dog which was in quarantine on veterinar}^ premises at Hersham, 

 Surrey. This dog had been placed in quarantine on account of its 

 having been bitten by the rabid dog condemned in the case confirmed 

 at Addlestone on the 13th January. 



The extent of the area subject to the Orders of the Minister relating 

 to the muzzling and control of dogs in South W^ales was considerably 

 reduced as from the loth March, and the more stringent restrictions 

 applicable to the Inner Controlled Area apply only to two small Areas 

 in the neighbourhood of Cardiff and Bridgend. 



January Journal : Errata. — On p. 997, lines 8 and 9, in the passage 

 in the article on Warble Fly describing the most effectual method of 

 exterminating the insects, for "beginning early in May and continuing 

 during June, July, and August," read " beginning in Februar}' or March, 

 and continuing during April, May and June." 



Fig. 2 illustrates the fully-grown state of the maggot, and^the 

 reference on p. 996, line 28, should, therefore, be transferred to line 33.
