PLEUR0-PNEUM0N1A. 
In the Palatinate of Bavaria, Landau, Kaiserslautern, and 
Bergzebern are centres of the infection, no less than fifteen 
parishes around the latter place being the seat of the plague. 
The disease also prevails at Ottweiler, St. Wandel, Simmern, 
and Saarbriick, in Rhenish Prussia ; Mannheim, in Baden ; 
and Mundelsheim, in Wiirtemberg. Besides this wide dif- 
fusion of the malady, Alsace and Lorraine are overrun with 
it to a great extent, the latest intelligence naming Sar- 
reguemines and Gravelotte and the Franco-Swiss frontier as 
strongholds of the infection. At Gravelotte several hundred 
of cattle have been killed, but the extent of the disease, and 
the scarcity of troops for sanitary purposes prevent military 
cordons being drawn around the infected places. Other 
information is to the effect that the disease exists along the 
whole of the “ Etapen road,” but only in a sporadic form. 
The report that the plague had entered Holland, and 
shown itself at Soeterwoude, near Leyden, is not correct, the 
death of the cattle in that place being due to entirely a 
different cause. 
While the plague is thus devastating countries so near 
home, it is no less active in Eastern Europe. To prevent its 
reintroduction into East Prussia, cattle importation from 
Poland by way of Eydtkuhnen, on the Kovno railway, is 
prohibited. Galicia, and Transylvania still continue the seat 
of the disease, the Comitat of Hunyad being its chief centre 
in the latter-named country. 
Eleven Communes in Roumania are also infected, besides 
many others in contiguous Turkish provinces. The plague 
is likewise extending its ravages along the Asiatic shore of 
the Black Sea, and in the maritime districts around 
Trebizond. 
PLEURO-PNEUMONIA. 
Since the publication of our last number pleuro-pneumonia 
has undergone very little alteration either in the number of 
animals affected, or in the centres of the infection. Thirty- 
eight counties in Great Britain are the seat of this disease, 
and in these 158 centres of infection exist. Fourteen infected 
places are reported from Norfolk, and nine fresh out-breaks. 
Nineteen centres of the disease exist in Renfrew, and 
thirteen in Fife. In the town dairies the malady is still 
very rife, and in the vicinity of Dublin, the losses are 
described as being unusually heavy.
