have found a representative, except through the writings which 
have at times appeared in journals published at home, the Veter¬ 
inarian and the Veterinary Journal, and it will certainly be with 
pleasure that the Quarterly Journal of Veterinary Science in In¬ 
dia will he received by all wko are interested in veterinary medi¬ 
cine. .The first number, which we have just received, forms a 
thick pamphlet of .144- pages, and contains a number of articles 
which will, without doubt, be read with a great deal of interest. 
The Journal is edited by Chr. Steel, assisted by Mr. Fred. Smith 
and John Ilenry Steel. The paper has our best wishes, and we 
hope that through its pages veterinarians will be introduced to 
many interesting facts connected with the diseases of animals in 
that part of the world. 
THE AUSTRALASIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL. 
We have looked with anxiety for our number of this new 
periodical, and were beginning to have some fear for its life, hav¬ 
ing missed it for the last live months, when the October number 
arrived a few days ago. We are always pleased to read it, and 
hope the editors will see that we receive it hereafter more re°"u- 
larly. We would be pleased to have the missing numbers for 
July, August and September. 
THE UNITED STATES VETERINARY JOURNAL. 
This is a new periodical, which has been canvassed for lately 
in this country. As we have not as yet had an opportunity of 
examining it, we are unable to speak of it intelligently. We feel 
in duty bound, however, to offer a few remarks in reference to 
some friendly notices which have reached us. It was without our 
consent, and opposed to a positive refusal, that the likeness which 
appeals on the upper medallion of the title page was printed. 
It is a species of notoriety which, to say the least, is in our opin¬ 
ion out of place and in poor taste, and we believe that all friends 
of the Journal will do well in suggesting to the proprietors of the 
paper the propriety of guarding against the commission of the 
same error again. It will not be by the illustrations that may 
appear on the cover of the Journal that it will make its way with 
the scientific papers of this country, but by the value of its in¬ 
formation and of its reading matter.
