questions they feel concerned in. And as soon as this business 
shall be settled, the society intend to present themselves before 
either the secretary at war or the provisional government itself, to 
lay before him or them the low and debased condition of the army 
veterinary surgeons, and in justice demand that they may have 
granted to them, at last, such position and functions as they have 
a right from their services to claim, and which the interests of the 
cavalry service imperiously call for. 
‘‘We are in hopes,” says M. Bouley, “that the National As- 
sembly, to whose hands are about to be confided the destinies of 
France, will reckon among its number some of our veterinary 
brethren. M. Magne, Professor at Alfort, stands for Avignon, his 
own country ; Professor Delafond for Nievre, and Loiset for the 
department of the North.” And our Editor concludes with the 
gratifying intelligence — “just received” — that M. Richand, vete- 
rinary surgeon, has offered himself for the department of the 
Cautal, through the Central Committee of Elections.

The Clavelisation ( Inoculation for Small-pox ) of Flocks of Sheep 
viewed as a Measure of Sanitary Police . 
By O. Delafond. 
(. Fourth and last Article.') 
Summary . — Will the laws regulating the sanitary police of 
animals authorise the government to peremptorily order the ino- 
culation of sheep which are in good health forming parts of flocks 
contaminated with the pox 1 Could such a measure be extended 
to flocks threatened with contamination 1 Executive powers in 
the two cases — antecedent powers over inoculation imposed as a 
measure of sanitary police. The opinion of jurisconsults in the 
matter of government right. — Legal powers. — Inviolability of pro- 
perty. — Discussion of these several questions under the supposi- 
tion of inoculation being imperatively ordered. Resume and 
conclusions. 
As will be seen from the above programme, the fourth and 
last article on this important subject is devoted to a consideration 
of the nature and operation of the acts of the French legislature, 
together with the several judicial decrees touching the prevention 
and arrest of epizootics, as applicable to inoculation, &c., matters 
which can little or nothing interest us on this side of the channel.
