xv, i Levine: Milk Produced in Southern China 103 
among the native cattle of southern China, occurring once in 
250,000 head and then only when the animals are closely stabled 
with European cattle. Dr. A. Gibson, colonial veterinarian, 
Victoria, Hongkong, tells me that he has seen but two cases of 
tuberculosis among native cattle, during the thirteen years that 
he has held his present position. These two cases were in bul- 
locks. He has never seen tuberculosis in the Chinese water 
buffalo. 
My measurements of twelve buffalo cows, in the college dairy, 
May 20, 1919, are given in Table XIX. These twelve cows are 
typical of the buffalo in southern China.
