bird day of its illness it was very weak and unable to rise. The 
ourth day it died. 
Two days before the death of the ram mentioned (June 28) 
wo other rams were inoculated from it. One had the lips 
ubbed several times against those of the affected animal, and 
he other was inoculated in the nose and upper lip by punctures 
)f a lancet charged with saliva. The former did not contract 
he disease. The latter was first affected August 6, or 38 days 
ifter inoculation. The symptoms were similar to those of the 
irst ram and resulted in death. 
December 21, 1841, a sheep which approached the kennel of 
1 rabid dog at the Lyons school was seized by this animal and
