ians may feel justly proud of the place they filled in the world’s 
great feast of peace spread out in Paris. 
The department of anatomy was well represented, Alfort 
showing beautiful preparations of brains, and Lyons a remark¬ 
able collection of plaster casts, handsomely and artistically 
painted, while Toulouse exhibited a most delicate piece of 
work in a separated skull, showing the dissociation of the 
bones of the head, according to the theory of the vertebrae of 
Mr. Lafosse. 
In physiology, Director Arloing, of Lyons, had an appara¬ 
tus for the study of respiration; M. Chauveau his universal 
register for physiological experiments ; and Mr. Barrier, of 
Alfort, an apparatus for registering the peculiarities and 
actions of the organs of locomotion. 
The departments of theory and practice exhibited large 
numbers of fractured bones, of exostoses and of tumors of all 
kinds. Alfort exhibited a mounted dog, illustrating a case of 
osteo porosis of the four extremities. 
The department of sanitary medicine had a good exhibi¬ 
tion. Toulouse showed a series of artistic illustrations of 
specific lesions represented in water color drawings of re¬ 
markable truthfulness; Director Nocard has a show case of 
the cultures of microbes, of which he has made a special 
study, including contagious mammitis, farcy of cattle, and tu¬ 
berculosis. Lyons exhibited water colors of specimens, and a 
large atlas illustrating the various forms of vaccination. 
M. Railliet contributes a large collection of all the para¬ 
sites of the domestic animals. 
Zootechnie is also well represented. Each school had a 
collection of the journals which they publish, for in Europe 
there is, strictly speaking, no national veterinary journal pub¬ 
lished, the Recueil being the organ of Alfort; the Journal of 
Zooteclmie that of Lyons ; and the Veterinary Review that of 
Toulouse. 
Besides these exhibitions by the schools were a number of 
private contributions, among which were shown apparatus and 
beds for animals, horses or dogs undergoing operations; 
feeding bottles ; new shoes again; and instruments for the
