The Journal of Comparative Pathology and Therapeu¬ 
tics. —In our April issue we referred to the recent addition of 
three new members—two Italian and one French—to the honor¬ 
able fraternity of veterinary periodicals. To-day we take pleasure 
in welcoming still another, an English issue, The Journal of 
Comparative Pathology and Therapeutics , which is to be a quar¬ 
terly, edited by Prof. J. McFadyeau, M.B., B.Sc., of the Dicks 
Veterinary College. 
We have reviewed the March number and if we can judge 
from its contents as to the quality of those that may follow it, we 
entertain no fear of its success. The first article, on the Pathology 
of HsBtnoglobinurise, by editor J. McFadyeau, is deserving of the 
careful attention of all veterinarians and specially our American 
confreres, who see so much of that disease. 
We welcome The Journal of Comparative Medicine and 
Therapeutics and wish it all success, W. R. Jenkins is the Amer¬ 
ican publisher.-—A. L.
