BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
Les Maladies Microbiennes des Animaux. —(Microbian Diseases of Animals,) 
by Ed. Nocard & E. Leclainche. (G. Masson, Publisher, 120 Boulevard St. 
Germain, Paris.) 
The names of these authors are already so well known and 
their individual writings so well spread in the veterinary world, 
that the news only of a new publication from either one of 
them would be sufficient to insure it a welcome reception by 
all veterinarians; but when a recent work is presented to the 
scientific world in which their combined efforts and their 
1 
mutual researches and talent are united it becomes unneces¬

said of Microbian Diseases of Animals. 
This new book, which comes to add another jewel to 
the already rich treasury of French veterinary literature, 
contains over 800 pages, in which many of the affections of 
microbian nature of animals are considered. Dedicated to 
the memory of that enthusiastic apostle of Pasteurian doc¬ 
trines, H. Bouley, it is not strictly a work on pathology, as 
many diseases of microbian nature are not spoken of, such as 
pneumonia, typhoid fever, gangrenous septicemia, tetanus, etc., 
but in it are treated those affections whose microbe has re¬ 
mained to this day misunderstood or insufficiently well known. 1 
And it is with this object in view that the etiology, semiology, 
pathological anatomy, experimental study and prophylaxy of 
the hemorrhagic septicemia, rouget of swine, anthrax fever, 
symptomatic anthrax, pleuro-pneumonia, rinderpest, gangrenous 
coryza of bovines, aphthous fever, horse-pox and cow-pox, distemper
