cal Association missed a good opportunity—Dr. O. Schwartzkopf on army veter¬ 
inarians at home and abroad—his suggestions and conclusions.

Kansas City. 
Extensive Outbreak oe Glanders in Massachusetts. 
DECEMBER.— American Veterinary Review Prize —Conditions to fulfill 
—a committee of five to be selected—first offered with that offered by the United 
States Veterinary Association, it is now offered individually—no connection with 
any other—the selection of the judges will be made with care, and their decision 
final—original researches and original papers only will be rewarded—by this 
action we hope to encourage the work of all, and offer it with no object in view 
but the advancement of American veterinary science.

gations—Dr. Shakespear, of Philadelphia, one of the first on this continent—

bacillus—its presence always found at the point of inoculation or in the tissues 
surrounding—is it the bacillus then or the ptomaines?—those discovered by

low, but will veterinarians listen to them ?

retire—his place vacant next March—lots of applicants—our suggestions for the

JANUARY.— Appeal on Behalf of the American Veterinary College 
Fund —an interesting development in the history of that institution—ought to 
have transpired long ago—good judgment of the board of directors—the present 
accommodations not up to the requirements—the history of the college answers 
for its future—the alumni have largely contributed—the directors also—but little 
more needed—shall the work of building begin soon, or what?—let every one 
work for it. 
Bacteriology — Hog Cholera —did we commit an error in our last ? In his 
letter Dr. E. Salmon says we did. 
Animal Origin of Contagious Diseases —an important subject of inquiry— 
scarlet fever investigated—Dr. Klein’s—Dr. Strickler of N. J.—the importance 
of his experiments—can his conclusions be all accepted?—we begin the publica¬ 
tion of his long paper—our principal objections to one of his suggestions.

fellowships, what of it ?—its circular says nothing about it.
