PLEURO-PNKUMONIA. 
ery. This animal the overseer consented to let us kill. The 
autopsy showed, well marked, the lesions of the disease. The 
infection here, as with all the other outbreaks hereabouts, came 
from Baltimore. At this point further investigations were given 
up for the present, and it still remains, in order to properly linish 
this report, to make an examination of the remainder of this State, 
the District of Columbia and Virginia, in all of which places it 
is believed that contagious pleuro pneumonia of cattle exists to a 
greater or less extent. 
WHAT THE INVESTIGATION SHOWS. 
As a result of my investigations thus far I find this ruinous 
foreign plague actually existing among cattle in the following 
States:— 
Connecticut. —In Fairfax County. 
New York.— In New York, Westchester, Putnam, Kings and 
Queens Counties. 
New Jersey.— In Atlantic, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, 
Ocean, Mercer, Monmouth, Middlesex, Hunterdon, Morris, 
Essex, Union, Bergen and Hudson Counties. 
Pennsylvania.— In Philadelphia, Chester, Montgomeiy, 
Bucks, Lehigh, Cumberland, York, Delaware, Lancaster and 
Adams Counties. 
Maryland. —In Carroll, Baltimore, Harford and Cecil 
Counties. The middle and southwestern portions of this State 
have not yet been visited. 
No examination has as yet been made in the District of Co¬ 
lumbia, or of the infected territory of Virginia; but as the 
plague prevailed quite extensively in both of these localities last 
season, it will no doubt be found still in existence when the inves¬ 
tigation takes place.
