708 MILKING PROPERTIES OF TIIE CHAROLLAIS CATTLE. 
of Cambridge, in 1807 : it presented the tertian type. Few 
cases have been seen in cattle ; more in the dog. Spinola 
speaks of having seen three, two in horses, and one in the 
dog. Hertwig has written an elaborate memoir on the 
disease in the dog. We would gladly hear something of 
the jungle-fever in the horse in India.

Facts and Observations. 
THE NATIONAL VACCINE BOARD. 
The report of the National Vaccine Board shows that, in 
the course of the past year, 220,6*39 charges of the lymph 
have been sent out. The employment of the lymph in the 
various military depots and hospitals at Scutari, and in the 
Baltic and Black Sea fleets, is stated to have effectually 
protected our forces against the spread and ravages of the 
smallpox. 128,495 vaccinations are reported, of which 8637 
were performed by the stationary vaccinators of the board 
in the metropolis. 
THE MILKING PROPERTIES OE THE CHAROLLAIS CATTLE. 
M. Lefebvre de St. Marie, Inspector-General of Agri- 
culture of France, has called our attention to a passage in 
our report of the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society 
at Chelmsford, published in the August number of the 
Veterinarian , from which it is to be inferred that the 
Charollais cattle are good milking animals. Upon this 
supposition we have remarked that “ a cross between them 
and our short-horns would prove advantageous.** M. St. 
Marie says that valuable as this breed is for the butcher, and 
likewise for the plough, it cannot be commended for its large 
supply of milk. Indeed, as a distinct breed, the Charollais 
cows yield a very small quantity of milk.
