APRIL.— The Title Page of ouk Eleventh Volume —error by the printer 
—our correction, and new title page—list of contributors to that volume—our 
thanks to those pioneers of American veterinary literature—efforts to render the 
Review accessible to all—our future prospects—the Review, born of the United 
States Veterinary Medical Association, has always paid its relative its respects— 
at times severe, but always just—the meetings in New York, Boston, Philadel¬ 
phia and Baltimore—the last one probably the most useful and interesting of all 
—paper from Dr. Salmon on hog cholera—his claim—discovery of distinct dis¬ 
eases—European observation and discoveries coincide with the investigations 
made in America—Dr. Clement’s handsome exhibition of specimens of pleuro¬ 
pneumonia lesions—their specific value at the various stages of the disease—paper 
on mediate contagion—Dr. Salmon’s remarks—Prof. Law’s answer to Dr. Gadsden 
—our suggestion on the subject seconded. Director Nocard’s request—the fifth 
international veterinary congress to be held in September, 1889—the congress on 
tuberculosis to take place this year, in July—our confreres on this continent can 
become members and receive the publications of both by a small remittance to 
the treasurer of both. Two new veterinary journals, the Ercolani and the 
Oiornale di Veterinaria Militate. 
MAY.— American Veterinary Review Prize —Let us once again call the 
attention of veterinarians to it—our object— original work is what we want— 
an essay of real orginality and genuine merit—not so much quantity as quality— 
our selected committee will look not only after the value of the papers as contri¬ 
butions to veterinary literature, but also after their merits as indicating original 
research and experiment—two papers already on hand—extension of time for 
entry of papers. Swine Plagues. —Why not gather them under the same name as 
Prof. Walley did of bovine plagues—amount of writings about them—why not put 
them all under one head—but after all we know that they represent three affec¬ 
tions, rouget or rothlauf, hog cholera or infectious pneumo-enteritis and diphtheria 
of swine, and swine plague or schweineseuch—what is wanted—a vaccine for each 
—one is already known for rouget—let us have another. Mediate Contagion 
in Pleuro-Pneumonia. —Dr. Salmon’s answer to Dr. Gadsden—this paper was 
read at the United States Veterinary Medical Association meeting at Baltimore 
—with the letter of Prof. Law it gives Dr. Gadsden material for reflection. 
Veterinary Dermatology. —Dr. Gotthiel’s translation—its value to the English 
readers of veterinary pathology—the subject more or less ignored and well worthy 
of closer study and attention, even at the hands of the faculties of veterinaiy 
colleges. Diagnosis in Doubtful Cases of Glanders.— One of the most difficult
