OUR EXCHANGE LIST. 
W e feel assured that our readers will not be less gratified 
than ourselves in knowing that, besides having effected an 
exchange with many of the leading scientific journals of the 
day in this country, it has been our good fortune to secure, 
by the same means, most of the veterinary periodicals pub- 
lished by the foreign schools, viz., that of Alfort, of Lyons, 
of Brussels, of Vienna, of Milan, of Stuttgart, of Berlin, of 
Turin, and of Toulouse. We also exchange with the New 
York Journal of Medicine. 
In addition to this, it will be equally gratifying to our 
readers to be informed that Mr. John Gamgee, M.R.C.V.S., 
has very kindly offered to give a monthly abstract from the 
foreign journals of all that is novel and interesting : an offer 
we have not hesitated at once to accept, knowing as w T e do, not 
only his familiarity with these different languages, but also 
the avidity with which his mind seizes on everything that is 
conducive to the onward march of veterinary science. More- 
over, his long residence on the Continent, and his acquaint- 
ance with many of the Professors of the different veterinary 
schools there, all conduce to render him a most apt expositor 
of the contents of these periodicals, far above what could be 
hoped to be derived from a mere literal translation of the 
articles. We entertain, not only no doubt, but have the 
liveliest assurance of the advantages that the profession must 
derive from this arrangement. 
Surely, from such sources as these, much valuable in- 
formation will be obtained, and thus our most sanguine ex- 
pectations become fully realised. We have already said that 
the state of its literature may be accepted as an index of the
