No. 1 has been sick, probably with pleuro-pnenmonia, six weeks 
ago. She then gave no milk, now she milks 16 liters. 
XL Mortens, milkman, at Borgerhout: 
A cow—temperature 39° the 20th of November. No pleuro- 
pneumonic symptoms. I advised to sell her. On the 23d I saw 
her again. On account of her ugliness I could not take her tern- 
perature. She gave 5 liters instead of 3 that she milked on the 
20tli. She probably had phthisis. 
XII. Smith, milkman, at Borgerhout: 
A cow, single in a stable, temperature 38°5. No symptoms 
of pleuro-pneumonia on the 20th of November. I advised to send 
her to the slaughter-house. She is killed the 23d. To my great 
surprise her lungs exhibited the lesions of pleuro-pneumonia. 
XIII. Noenincky, at Berchem. August 2nd, 1876, a pneu¬ 
monic cow, temperature 41°. Killed the next day ; had previously 
been with a pleuro-pneumonic cow. 
XIY. Delaet, at Anvers, August 3d, a cow which has not de¬ 
livered is sick, and has a temperature of 37°7. 
XV. Mortens, at Borgerhout, August 8th, 11011 -delivered cow, 
temperature 38°2. 
As can be seen, my observations are quite numerous. Let us 
see now the significance of the figures obtained on animals suffer¬ 
ing with pleuro-pnenmonia, and on those affected with other dis¬ 
eases.
