MONTANA. 
Dr. W. L. Williams, of Bozeman, presents the following 
interesting contribution : 
“ I have had the privilege of observing two unusual diseases 
so far as our English veterinary literature is known. During 
the present year my attention has been called to an outbreak 
of a disease in sheep described by Prof. V. Babes, bucraest 
ascarcehe, and by Prof. Dr. Bonome, of Padua, as parasitic 
ictero-haematuria, occurring in the Deer Lodge Valley, where 
in a territory ten or twelve miles wide by twenty-one or twenty- 
five miles long there has been for five years an average annual 
loss of nearly two thousand sheep from this cause. I have not 
seen it elsewhere in the State, nor do I know of its occurrence 
in other parts of the United States, although I suspect it is 
common in some adjoining States, without recognition. I 
have also observed a wide prevalence of the cytodites nudus 
parasite of fowls, which has caused serious losses in this 
[Gallatin] valley among chickens and turkeys. I am not ac¬ 
quainted with poultry literature, and our literature deals so 
sparsely with pathology of birds that I have little idea of how 
common the affection may be, but, so far as 1 know, it has not 
been reported heretofore in America.”

that during 1893, one hundred and fifteen cattle have been 
condemned for tuberculosis in two hundred and twenty-one 
stables, and nineteen horses were destroyed for being affected 
with glanders. 
NEW JERSEY. 
Mr. Franklin Dye, the Secretary of the Commission on 
Tuberculosis in Animals, writes as follows: 
“ Your first question as to the prevalence of infectious and 
contagious diseases in our state, New Jersey, in common 
with other States, has a sprinkling of those diseases. Nothing, 
however, seems to be unusually prevalent this year over past 
years unless it may be the increase of anthrax in one county 
recently, which, no doubt, will soon be subjugated. There 
have been a number of cases of glanders as in other years, but
