FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE. 
occurred at a village near Trieste, and the disease continues 
to exist in that neighbourhood. 
At Scutari the malady manifests no tendency to diminu¬ 
tion, either of its virulence or extent of prevalence. 
Hamburgh was declared free in the latter part of October, 
and all the restrictions on the movement of stock have been 
abolished. 
PLEURO-PNEUMONIA. 
For some months past pleuro-pneumonia has been on the 
increase, according to the returns, which do not, however, 
convey any adequate idea of the prevalence of the disease in 
large towns. 
Manchester and Sheffield are among the large towns in 
which pleuro-pneumonia is on the increase. 
At present forty counties in England and nearly twenty 
in Scotland are infected with the malady, and the number of 
diseased animals amounts to over three hundred. 
FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE. 
There has been a sensible decline in the severity of the 
attacks of this disease, and in many cases a considerable 
decrease in the number of fresh cases; it is yet, however, 
too early to suggest that the malady has exhausted its force. 
In several districts abroad foot-and-mouth disease con¬ 
tinues to prevail, chiefly in Schleswig-Holstein, from which 
place large numbers of diseased animals have been sent to 
the port of London. Cattle and sheep affected with the 
malady have also been imported from France, Spain, and 
Denmark. 
In this country fresh outbreaks among deer have been re¬ 
ported ; and in several instances, in the western counties, the 
early lambs of Dorset and allied breeds are said to have 
died, in a large proportion, from the ewes, at the time of 
parturition, being affected with foot-and-mouth disease.
