Endoglobular Parasites of Dogs—Nature of Infec¬ 
tious Jaundice of Dogs [By P. Leblanc]. — The presence 
of the symptom ictere in sheep carrying hsematozoa allowed 
the thought that their presence would explain the nature of in¬ 
fectious jaundice in dogs. Indeed, that disease has all the char¬ 
acter of a fever of marshes. It affects principally the hunting 
dog, and no plausible supposition as to its nature has yet been 
presented. In the blood of a dog suffering with a very severe 
attack of infectious jaundice, the author has found in large quan¬ 
tity, hsematozoa very analogous to those found in cattle and 
sheep suffering with hsemoglobinuria. Examination of fresh 
blood has given the best results. The parasites are fixed on Lhe 
hsematin, but exist in great number in the plasma. Although 
one single observation is not sufficient to establish the fact 
that the disease is due to the hsematozoa, it is right to sup¬ 
pose that they play an active if not the unique part.— (Soc. de

PlROPEASMA CANIS IN THE DOGS OF SENEGAE [By Dr. E. 
Marthome ].—In 1895 Piana and Galli Valerie observed in dogs 
in Italy the presence of an endoglobular hsematozoa which by 
its form resembled the piroplasma bigeminum of Smith and 
Kilborne. R. Koch found it in Oriental Africa. Mr. Marthome 
has observed it in Senegal in the blood of eleven dogs. He 
calls it piroplasma canis. These dogs exhibited a slight rise 
of temperature, corresponding to the period where the parasites 
were in greatest number in the circulation. None had jaundice. 
The hsematozoas of dogs differ from those of cattle by being 
larger, their bigemination is less frequent, and they are oftener 
outside the globules. It would be interesting to know if it is 
the same as the one described by Mr. Keblanc.— [Soc. deBiol.)

Las Enfermedades del Ganado (The Diseases of Animals), by D. Monfallet, late 
Professor to the Agricultural Institute of Chile. 
Under this title, the author has given an excellent treatise, 
including general pathology and therapeutics, as well as in¬ 
ternal pathology with all microbian diseases. Having dedi¬ 
cated it to Prof. Eeclainche, his teacher, Mr. Monfallet has 
with great talent condensed in few pages many essential points 
very interesting to read. Par superior to many “ Vade Me-
