II. Four heifers shall inhale tuberculous dust. 
III. Two milch cows shall be infected by injecting into their 
teats an emulsion of tubercular material. 
IV. One heifer shall be infected by an injection of tubercular 
emulsion into the trachea. 
V. The last heifer be submitted to an intra-veinal injection 
of the same emulsion. The temperatures of the subjects shall 
be regularly taken A. m. and p. M. 
Every eight days they shall be subjected to the tuberculin 
test, in order to determine as accurately as possible the exact 
time when they shall begin to react. 
Thirty days later one subject from lot i; one subject from 
lot ii ; one subject from lot in ; and the two subjects of lots iv 
and v shall be killed and autopsied with care ; fifteen days later, 
that is, at the end of forty-five days, another subject from lots I 
and ii and the last subject from lot in shall be killed. 
The two animals remaining in lots I and n shall be killed 
at a later date to be fixed by the committee. In order to carry 
on these experiments it is thought best to ask for a subsidy from 
the Minister of Agriculture, the Conseils Generaux of Seine, of 
Seine et Oise and of Seine et Marne and also from the societies 
which were kind enough to contribute to the success of the ex¬ 
periments on peripneumonia. t 
This programme was unanimously adopted, and the associa¬ 
tion decided that the committee shall consist of all the mem¬ 
bers of the Board and of Messrs. Nocard, of Alfort; Moussu, of 
Alfort; Constant and Teyssandier, sanitary inspectors in State 
Department of Agriculture ; Duprez, chief of sanitary office for 
Seine ; Eaquerriere, V. S., a delegate from Seine ; Warnesson, 
Departmental Veterinarian for Seine et Oise ; Fugio, of Paris ; 
Vigier, of Paris ; Hollard, of Guignes ; Rabutin, Seine et Marne ; 
Bavary, Jr., of Brie Comte ; Robert, Seine et Marne ; Paul Ros- 
signol, of Melun. 
The members of the society who desire to attend these ex¬ 
periments are requested to inform us to that effect. 
Requests for subscriptions were sent to the Minister of Agri-
