560 ANALYSIS OF CONTINENTAL JOURNALS. 
Brambilla, Professor of Normal and Pathological Farriery; 
Corvini, Professor of Materia Medica, Therapeutics and 
Botany; Pavesi, Professor of Organic and Inorganic Che¬ 
mistry; Generali, Professor of General Pathology and Patholo¬ 
gical Anatomy; Sertoli, Extraordinary Professor of Veterinary 
Anatomy and Physiology; Vachetta, Professor of Surgery; 
with Assistant Professors Vietti, Moroni, Guzzoni, and 
Buonsanti. The original papers contributed by these gen¬ 
tlemen are generally of a high scientific order, and some of 
them, especially those relating to histology and anatomy, 
are of peculiar interest. Each professor furnishes, in addi¬ 
tion, an analysis, more or less extensive, of the progress made 
in his own special branch of study in other countries; and in 
this way the Gazetta contains the newest and most noteworthy 
facts culled from foreign contemporaneous literature by 
writers w y ell adapted for the work. To Dr. Guzzoni I am 
personally indebted for a very detailed and flattering analysis 
of my book on “Animal Plagues”—an analysis extending to 
no fewer than four numbers of the Gazetta. The doctor’s 
matured scholarship, and his profound acquaintance with the 
literature of his profession, especially that pertaining to his 
own country, has enabled him not only to appreciate the 
magnitude of such a task, as w r ell as its importance, but has 
also permitted him to favour us with some valuable notes 
relating to outbreaks of disease among animals from sources 
which were not available to me. This addition to our know¬ 
ledge of epizooties is most acceptable, and if the same course 
w r ere followed for other countries, the unavoidable omissions 
I may have made would be amply compensated for, and the 
history of these diseases made complete. 
The Gazetta is well printed, and, when necessary, illus¬ 
trated ; altogether, it is a periodical to be recommended to 
readers of the Veterinarian who are acquainted w 7 ith the 
Italian language. 
Strangles. 
The opening article is from the pens of Oreste and Fal- 
conio on strangles, and is original. 
Indicating the different names by which the malady is 
known, as “piccionaja,” “ barbone,” and “ stranguglioni” in 
Italy, “gourme” in France,” “ druse” in Germany, and 
“strangles” in England, while its Latin designation is 
“ adenitis scrofulosa equorum,” and “ morbus glandulosus;” 
it is stated that the disease was known from the earliest times 
as common among horses, but rare in the ass and mule* 
Apsyrtus alluded to it; he says, <e quum ineunte puerili
