Veterinary Department,

Privy Council Office,

18th July, 1868. Sie,

In accordance with the instructions of the Lord President, I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Lords of the Council, a further Report on the recent outbreak of cattle plague in Great Britain, to which is added an Appendix, embodying, as far as possible, all information of importance relating to the disease.

The Statistics, (Appendix No. I.,) as regards cases of disease which occurred prior to the 31st of December, 1866, were prepared by Mr. Clode of the Registrar General's Office, at that time Superintendent of the Statistical Branch of this Department: these have since been completed under my direction.

The manuscript tables which are kept in this Department, and of which those printed in the Appendix above referred to represent only summaries, comprise the most ample details, and record the progress of the plague in respect of each owner's stock reported on in Great Britain.

A map is appended, showing the extent to which the plague prevailed in each county in Great Britain; also diagrams indicating the number of attacks reported each week, and the duration of the disease up to the end of 1866.

The Medical Report, (Appendix No. II.,) which has been prepared by the Veterinary Inspectors attached to this Department, forms the most complete record of the medical history of rinderpest in this country that has hitherto been published, and will be most valuable for reference in case of any future outbreak.

The Digest of the Laws and Regulations, (Appendix No. III.,) prepared in this Office, was, by direction of the Lord President, submitted to Mr. Reilly, the legal adviser of this Department, for revision.

The Appendix No. IV. contains Returns showing Expenses incurred in connection with this outbreak of cattle plague.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, The Clerk of the Council.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Alexander Williams.

REPORT

APPENDIX

CATTLE PLAGUE IN GREAT BUITAIN

During the Years 1865,1866, and 1867.

Epizootic or contagious diseases amongst cattle have existed from a very early period, and have visited this country on many previous occasions, but it is doubtful whether a visitation of the rinderpest or cattle plague indigenous to the Russian Steppes occurred previous to 1714. It is extremely difficult, from the sparse records kept of previous plagues, to be sure of the identity or non-identity of these plagues with that of the one under consideration, but there is every reason to believe that the epizootic which attacked the cattle in this country in 1714, and again from 1745 to 1757, was true rinderpest, and identical with the disease which was the cause of the late outbreak. So far as our information goes, it appears to be more than probable that this, as well as the former outbreaks of plague among cattle, was introduced into this country from the Continent.

The outbreak in 1745 lasted 12 years, and the conclusion derived from the experience of it, with regard to the checking of the disease, appears to be identical with that of the present day. As a result, the outbreak which occurred 12 years later was confined to the localities in which it first appeared by the immediate slaughter of the animals.

From 1757 to 1865 it does not appear certain that rinderpest visited this country, although outbreaks of disease amongst cattle have appeared on several occasions.

That the disease which caused the outbreak now under consideration was the rinderpest of the Russian Steppes, and that it is a highly contagious fever due to the presence of a specific animal poison, as stated in my former Report, does not now appear to admit of a doubt. That it possesses characteristics allied to the exanthemata, or eruptive fevers, seems equally proved, and, however difficult it may be to show that it was introduced into England, it is much more probable that it was so introduced, than that it should have spontaneously arisen here. That it was so introduced from abroad is generally accepted by those who have made the disease a subject of careful study, and any theory as to its spontaneous origin must be based upon views which would upset our ideas of diseases in animals not only as to the class to which rinderpest belongs, but also as regards the analagous class of diseases in the human subject.

There can be no difficulty in proving the extremely contagious nature of rinderpest; but there is the same difficulty in proving how the germs of the disease were introduced in 1865, as there has frequently been in showing how the analagous human diseases have been introduced into any particular locality.

There can scarcely be any subject more interesting, and yet of which so little is known, as that of the mode of propagation of contagious or infectious diseases ; and, as the late outbreak of cattle plague has afforded opportunities for its study which rarely occur, it appears desirable to record the result.

We should simplify this subject very much, and at the same time represent the opinion of many of the scientific men who have brought forward their views, if we were to discard the term quot; infectious,quot; and speak of those diseases as quot; contagiousquot; only. To suppose that the virus of any of these diseases is, as stated with regard to cattle plague in the first report of the Royal Commissioners, quot; volatile,quot; in the scientific appli�cation of that term, would involve the theory that the germinal matter is unorganized, whilst many of the known properties of the virus of cattle plague are inconsistent with such a theory.

That the virus consists of organic matter in an organized state, and that its particles are of such infinitesimal proportions that we have hitherto been unable to detect their form or size under the highest powers of the microscope, can scarcely admit of a doubt;

a 3

and, therefore, it may be inferred that a particle of this matter, so small as to be incapable of detection, might at any time, under certain conditions, produce the disease.

The opportunities, therefore, for its propagation are, practically, unlimited. Not only may the virus in a moist state be carried from one animal to another by direct and indirect contact, by a stream of water, amongst food, and in many other ways, but, as it retains its properties when dried, and we know that organic matter is nearly always present in the air we breathe, it is not difficult to imagine how easily it may be carried about in all directions by currents of air, and inhaled into the lungs. At the same time, it is quite possible to believe that its general diifusion may be prevented by its specific gravity, or by some other unascertained cause.

So far as we have been able to obtain evidence, the above-mentioned theory has been sufficient, in almost every instance, to account for fresh outbreaks of cattle plague in this country, and there is no reason to believe that the disease was ever propagated by any means other than by direct or indirect contagion. We may, therefore, infer that the first outbreak here had a similar origin, and that the germinal matter was brought here from the Continent, in some parts of which the rinderpest nearly always exists.

The objections which apply to the theory of the spontaneous origin of the disease in this country will also apply to its spontaneous origin in any fresh locality here, and leads to the conclusion that in every instance of a fresh outbreak the contagious matter must have found its way to the animal affected. The far-fetched theory of minute particles floating in the air is not however necessary in this case to account for the results. It was the neglect, through ignorance or disbelief, of all the ordinary pre�cautions against the dissemination of the contagious matter which caused the rapid spread of the disease in Great Britain, and the counties which most neglected these pre�cautions suffered most from the disease. This is eminently shown in the case of Cheshire, where not only were the ordinary precautions neglected, but compulsory slaughter, which had become law, was practically ignored for some time, and diseased cattle were allowed to exist, and to form centres of infection, from which the contagious matter was disseminated in every direction.

The only effectual method of checking the spread of this disease is to destroy, as early as possible, all traces of the contagious matter which will produce it, and this involves not only the slaughter and destruction of the animal affected, but also of all the germs of the disease which may have been disseminated from it. The earlier the disease is dis�covered, the more easily may this be accomplished, and therefore it becomes of great importance to be able at an early period to detect its existence.

The characteristics of the disease in all its stages are fully set forth in the Medical Report, (Appendix No. 11.,) and it would appear, at first sight, extremely easy to distinguish it from all other diseases, and in the majority of cases this assumption would be correct. The probabilities are that in any fresh outbreak of the disease, we should possess such information as would render its detection comparatively easy, but in isolated cases, and where the history, symptoms, and post-mortem appearances cannot all be ascertained, there may arise great difficulties.

In the late outbreak many cases of disease occurred, the nature of which was not, at first, satisfactorily ascertained. In some isolated cases the highest authorities were at fault, and pronounced opinions which additional information proved to be incorrect. Fortu�nately this cannot occur when cattle supposed to be affected with cattle plague are herded with others, as then a very short time will show the true nature of the disease, and nearly, if not all, would gradually become affected, which would not be the case in any other disease having symptoms of a similar character.

Some interesting cases of other diseases, in which the symptoms closely resembled cattle plague, will be found in the Medical Report.

In my former report will be found the analysis of the results of various methods of treatment of this disease, and my conclusion therefrom, that no efficient method of treat�ment has been discovered which would materially lessen the mortality of this disease. Since then, subsequent inquiries have tended rather to strengthen than to weaken this conclusion.

Nor do we appear to have advanced to any great extent in the discovery of any pre�ventive measures. Vaccination, inoculation, and the use of disinfectants have each nad their day, but the benefit to be derived from their use, so far as we have ascertained, does not justify the adoption of any of them as efficient. Isolation, if complete, must be successful, but the difficulties attending it are so great that its systematic adoption in this country would be impossible.

We are thus reduced to the quot; stamping out quot; of the disease as the only means of arresting its progress, and on this we can fully depend if it is efficiently carried out.

Vll

It is iuteresting to follow, step by step, the manner in which this conviction has gradually forced itself upon all those who have had the opportunity, and have taken the trouble, carefully to study this disease. At first only a few of our leading veterinary surgeons advocated this wholesale slaughter, contrary to the opinion of the majority of the medical

} )rofession. Then came the time when all those more immediately connected with the egislation on the subject were convinced of its advisability, if not of its necessity; and in August 1865 an Order of Council was passed allowing the inspectors to slaughter animals suffering from this disease.

About this time, however, a Royal Commission was appointed to inquire into the matter, who in October, 1865, prepared their First Report, in which it was recommended that this power of slaughter should be withdrawn, which was accordingly done by the Order of November 1865.

It appears, however, that before the publication of their Third Report, the majority of the Royal Commissioners had been converted to a belief in the stamping-out process, and this conviction had extended to our legislature by February 1866, as shown by The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, enacting the compulsory slaughter of all animals affected with cattle plague, and permitting the slaughter of those in contact with such animals, or in the same herd.

The beneficial effect of this Act was shown almost immediately. At the time of its passing nearly 18,000 fresh cases of cattle plague were reported to have occurred in Great Britain during the week, whilst in the very next w^Teek the number was reduced to less than 11,000, and went on gradually decreasing, until, in the third week in June, it amounted to only 743, and, in the second week in September, there were reported only 80 fresh cases as having occurred in Great Britain during the week.

From the date of the passing of this Act may be dated the successful checking of the disease; and to it, and to the Orders of Council drawn under its powers, may be attributed the extermination of cattle plague from this country.

The difficulties of legislation on this subject before the passing of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, so far as they refer to the stamping out of the disease, have already been referred to; but there were other difficulties connected with it which required time to overcome.

In the first place those most interested in the matter took a long time to be convinced of the highly contagious nature of the disease, and the necessity for taking certain pre�cautions to prevent its spread, especially if such precautions interfered with their trade.

Secondly, there did not exist any Government department whose duty it was to take cognizance of diseases of this nature ; and�

Thirdly, there existed no local authorities to whom could be properly entrusted the carrying out of any measures which the Government might wish to enforce.

All these difficulties have, however, now been met, and it may be confidently expected that cattle plague or any disease of a like nature, if it visited this country, would be stamped out before it could do any serious damage.

The loss of money to the country by the late outbreak has been so variously stated, that it appears almost impossible to arrive at anything like a correct estimate. The returns which are appended form a very small item of the account; the value of the property directly lost, without reckoning the indirect losses, which must have occurred in every direction, may certainly be estimated by millions,�probably not less than five millions sterling.

APPENDIX No. l.

REMARKS ON THE RETURNS FROM EACH COUNTY

FROM THE

Commencement op the Disease up to 31st December 1866.

The 278,439 attacks of Cattle Plague, which have been recorded in Great Britain from the first outbreak in Juno 1865 to the end of tho year 1866, are comprised in Reports received from a largo number of Inspectors.* These Reports, exceeding 30,000 in number (exclusive of quot;Nilquot; returns), have been abstracted and tabulated in much detail by this Department, and there is now a record of the incidents of the Plague in a more complete and systematic form than has been attempted in any previous visitation of the kind in this Country.

The Inspectors' Reports do not furnish tho exact number of outbreaks and attacks ; the disease appeared suddenly, and spread with great rapidity ; the machinery for recording its progress had to bo created, and a large staff of Inspectors, spread over the whole Country, to be appointed and instructed in duties with which many of them were not familiar ; it therefore happened that for a con�siderable time their Reports were, in many respects, defective.

Some attacks have probably escaped being reported, and in other instances the difficulties of diagnosis may have resulted in their being incorrectly recorded ; nevertheless, much valuable

information respecting this formidablo disease has been collected, and tho tables attached to this Report display the statistical results for each County, Borough, and Potty Sessional Division, in a form convenient for reference.

Many estimates of tho probable number of Live Stock have been made from time to time; but it was not until 5th March 1866 that any enumeration was attempted ; tho returns then collected show that in Great Britain there were 4,785,836 Cattle, viz., 3,270,299, or 10-2 to every 100 acres, in England; 578,136, or 11'3 per 100 acres, in Wales; and 937,401, or 4'8 per 100 acres, in Scotland. At the date of tho enumeration it is probable that tho stock was less than usual, in consequence of the Cattle Plague having then been raging for eight months ; if, however, the 159,291 Cattle which had been killed, or had died, after being attacked by Plague, prior to the enumeration, are added to tho numbers then ascertained, the total may be taken to represent, approximately, the estimated ordinary stock, and would amount to 4,946,127: viz., in England, 3,390,510; in Wales, 584,583; and in Scotland, 970,034.

Tho first outbreak of the disease was reported in tho Metropolis during the last week in June 1865; it spread with great rapidity, and reached several of the most distant Counties in tho two following months.

Tlio 139 attacks on 4 different premises, reported in tho week ending 1st July 1865, indicated that

a formidable malady was establishing itself; in tho week following 14 other premises became infected, and the attacks amounted to 639. The disease then increased to 1,203 in the week ending 19th August 1865, and to 1,596 in that ending 30th September. From the end of October the virulence of the Plague became still more manifest week by week, and in tho last seven days of the year 1865 as many as 10,107 Cattle were reported to have been attacked, and 1,236 farms, amp;c. were added to those previously infected.

* In the middle of the year 1866 the number of Inspectors was upwards of 1,600.

APPENDIX I. TO THE REPORT ON THE

In tlio first eight weeks of the year 1866 tho malady assumed its greatest proportions, and the maximum number of attacks were reported for the week ending 24th February, when as many as 17,875 Cattle contracted the disease. Up to this time the diseased animals killed were few in proportion to those which died.

The quot;Cattle Diseases Prevention Act,quot; dated 20th February 1866, making tho slaughter of diseased animals compulsory, now camo into operation, and its results were strikingly manifested in future returns ; the number of animals reported

as attacked in the week ending 3d March fell to 10,971 ; tho number of diseased animals killed, which had not been more than 664 in tho seven days ending 3i'd February, rose to 7,973, and in the next week ending lOth March to 10,056, while the number of animals reported to have died proportionately decreased. From this time tho Plague declined perceptibly ; at tho end of April tho weekly tables show 4,442 attacks, towards tho end of May, 1,687, in the last week of June, 338, and in the last week of the year only 8 attacks were reported.

The Plague appeared on 27,807 farms, sheds, or other places, and 1,409 of these were revisited by the disease after having been free for 21 days ; these places contained 468,776 Cattle, or on an average, 17 for each farm; the 278,439 attacks therefore represent 68 per cent, of the entire stock of Cattle on the infected premises, after deducting the number slaughtered healthy. Of the number attacked�99,686 are stated to have been killed ; 133,455 to have (lied ; 40,182 to have recovered ; and the remaining 5,116 animals have not been accounted for. 56,440 healthy Cattle were slaughtered to prevent the spread of the disease.

If the relative prevalence of the disease in the different Counties were represented on a shaded map, tho darkest shadow in Great Britain would rest on Cheshire, where 68 per cent, of tho entire stock contracted the disease ; next in depth of colour would be the Metropolis, 38 per cent., and Forfar, 37 per cent. Lighter spots would be found at Middlesex, Hunts, Cambridge, East Elding of York, Flint, Stirling, Clackmannan, Kinross, Fife, and Kincardine : and still lighter at Surrey, Oxford, Norfolk, Salop, Lincoln, West and North Ridings of York, Cumberland, Denbigh, Edin-

burgh, Linlithgow, Lanark, Dumbarton, and Perth; shadows varying in density would extend over tho remaining infected Counties, Westmorland alone in England would be entirely free from colour ; in Wales all would be white excepting Flint and Denbigh : in Scotland�Wigtown, Bute, Argyll, Banff, Elgin, Nairn, Ross and Cromarty, Suther�land, Caithness, Orkney, and Shetland, would be colourless on the map.

The quot; Return of Live Stock, enumerated,quot; does not give the number of Cattle in each District, so that the proportion of animals attacked by the Plague cannot be ascertained for smaller areas than Counties.

No classification of animals was called for previously to the week ending 7th of April 1866, and, therefore, only from this date can positive information be given under the several headings of Bulls, Bullocks, Steers, Cows, and Heifers. By distributing the numbers quot; not distinguishedquot; proportionally over each class, tho following table furnishes an approximate classification of the number of Cattle attacked by the Disease from the Commencement:�

The relative liability of animals of each class to contract the disease can oidy be ascertained by knowing tho number of each kind living ; tho quot; Return of Live Stock quot; partially supplies this information, inasmuch as it distinguishes -'Cows,quot;

quot; Other Cattle 2 Years old and upwards,quot; and quot; Under 2 Years of Ago.quot; It is probable, however, that many Heifers, and even a few Bulls, may come under both theso headings of ages, and therefore to obviate this disturbing element, tho

animals of all ages, other than Cows, must bo grouped together ; they thus form a heterogonoous class, including Bulls, Bullocks, Stoors, Hoifors, and Calves; and as they wero exposed to the influence of the Plague under conditions different from herds of Cows, it is not a matter of surprise

The earliest authenticated outbreak of Cattle Plague in Great Britain took place at Islington. Dr. Williams, in his Report, dated 20th March 1866, states that quot;an outbreak has been reported quot; as having occurred at Lambeth on the 21st of quot;#9632; June 1865, but there appears to bo very great quot; doubt whether the animals referred to really quot; suffered from the Cattle Plague, the evidence in quot; fact preponderating very largely on tho other quot; side.quot; Tho disease, however, unmistakeably appeared in the last week of June 1865 among a stock of 123 Cattle belonging to Mrs. Nicholls of Liverpool Road, Islington, in the district of Fins-bury. The Inspector reports the outbreak as occurring on 27th Juno, but the first animal contracting the disease was probably infected a few days earlier, and about Juno 24th may bo regarded as the commencement of the Plague. Mrs. Nicholls had 46 animals attacked in this outbreak, only 3 of which are stated to have r3-covcred, and 50 others were slaughtered healthy.

Tho Plague spread with great rapidity, and as many as 536 attacks of tho disease were reported

for the week ending 8th July, the maximum number (595) being reached in the week ending 12th August ; a manifest decline then took place, although during the months of March and April 1866 an increase was again observed, the attacks rising from a weekly average of 8 in the two last weeks of February to 67 in the week ending 7th April. After tho end of April the virulence of the disease had abated, and the number of attacks became few, and the last case during this year was reported in the week ending 22iid September. It is remarkable, however, that an isolated and severe outbreak took place on 28th January 1867, on tho same premises at Islington where the Plogno fust established itself ; on this occasion 28 animals were attacked out of a stock of 46, and tho whole of them, whether diseased or healthy, were imme�diately slaughtered; this precaution probably prevented any further spread of the disease at that time ; other outbreaks, however, took place In the neighbourhood in the month of May following.* Exclusive of tho outbreaks in 1867, the number of attacks in the Metropolis amounted to 5,357, or

nearly 38 por cent, of tlio estimated ordinary stock of Cattle ; and 2,295 healthy Cattle were slaugh-terod to prevent the spread of the disease.

528 separate premises were visited by tho Plague, of which 72 were revisited after having been free for 21 days.

Several remuikiiblo instances of the virulence of the disease oecurrod; among others a large dairy in Duncan Street, Islington, experienced two visitations, one on 2nd July, tho other ou 30th October 1865, and of a stock of 430 no fewer than 393 were attacked, and tho remaining 37 healthy

animals wore slaughtered. At Clorkonwell, on pre�mises containing 200 animals, tho whole number was attacked. At Eltham, in the Greenwich district, nn instance occurred of 215 animals being attacked out of a stock of 291,

Of tho eight districts into which the Metropolis is divided, there were reported from the City of London 35 attacks ; quot;Westminster, 394 ; *Mary-lebone, 1,010 ; *Finsbury, 1,872; *Tower Hamlets, 933 ; Lambeth, 278 ; *Southwark, 83 ; and Green�wich, 752.

Tho disease is reported to have appeared on two separate farms on the 2nd August 1865 ; viz., one at Ewell in the Petty Sessional Division of Epsom, and the other at Tolworth in the Division of Kingston : 4 outbreaks, embrncing 57 attacks, are recorded for tho week ending August 5th. The malady extended itself over nearly all the Divisions and Boroughs of tho County, and reached its maximum severity (115 attacks) in the week ending 14th October, but continued to prevail steadily to the end of the year ; it then declined gradually during the months of January, February, and March 186�, the last attack being reported for the week ending 24th of March. Tho Plague prevailed most heavily in the Petty Sessional Division of Guildford, and cases of marked severity occurred at Leatherhead and Woking,

The disease visited 203 farms, amp;c., and re�appeared in 5 instances ; 1,596 Cattle in the aggre�gate were attacked, being 1 in every 19 of the estimated ordinary stock: 497 healthy Cattle were slaughtered.

Tho number of attacks reported for the different Petty Sessional Divisions and Boroughs are as follows :�Chertsey, 179; Croydon, 66 ; Dorking, 53; Epsom, 107; Farnham,88; Godalming Borough, 19; Godstone, 107 ; Guildford Division, 725 ; Guildford Borough, 70; Kingston, 127; Reigate, 54 ; and Richmond, 1.

The Plague is stated to have visited 268 farms, laquo;fee, of which 19 were revisited after a freedom of 21 days. The aggregate number of attacks is 1,720, or 1 in every 32 of tho estimated ordinary stock of cattle.

512 healthy Cattle wore slaughtered to prevent tho spread of tho disease.

Tho Plague spread with more or loss severity over most of the Boroughs and Potty Sessional Divisions of this County, but was most prevalent in tho Wingham, Sevcuoaks, Bromley, and Home Divisions.

The following cases are of special severity ; viz..

on a farm at Chislohurst, a stock of 61 woro all attacked; at Orford, in a stock of 135,88 were attacked, and 40 slaughtered healthy ; at Sarre a stock of 48 wore all attacked.

The earliest outbreak in this County occurred at Heyshott, in the Chichester Petty Sessional Division, on 18th July 1865, and then the disease spread until about the end of the year, when its progress appears to have been arrested. The last case is reported for the week ending January 27th 1866, at Warbloton in tho Hailsham Division.

159 farms were visited, and 7 were revisited, by the Plague, which attacked in the aggregate 1,211 animals, or 1 in every 63 of tho ordinary stock of Cattle.

Of the 23 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divisions in this County the attacks reported for the 14 Divisions, amp;c. visited by the disease, are as follows): viz., for Arundel Division, 82 ; Arundel Borough, 18; Brighton, 47 ; Chichester Division, 394 ;

Outbreaks occurred at Cookham, and at War-grave, on 1st of August 1865, after which the disease continued until the end ofthat yciir, when it rapidly declined, and but few attacks continued to be reported up to the 30th of Juno 1866. No cases were reported from April 14th until tlio week ending May 19th, and none for the month of July, but for the week ending August 4th a report was received that 12 Cattle were attacked atWargrave, all of which died. This was a second outbreak.

From this time tho disease appears to have ceased until the week ending December I5tli, 1866, when tho attack of 1 animal at Windsor was reported.

Tho Plague appeared on 85 farms, amp;c., of which 10 were revisited after being free for throe weeks. 651 animals were in the aggregate attacked, and 44 healthy Cattle were slaughtered.

Of the 19 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Di�visions comprised in this County, 9 were visited by the Plague, which prevailed with most severity in tho Maidenhead Division.

The disease first appeared at Neasdon on 1st July 1865, after which it continued with more or less severity until January 1865 ; the attacks then diminished until March, when they agsiin increasod until the end of April. It is believed that tho incroaso in the months of March and April 1 866 is due to the importation of foreign Cattle.

The last 5 attacks were reported for the week ending 23rd Juno 1866.

Tho disease prevailed on 186 farms, amp;c., 7 of which were revisited after having been free for three weeks ; 1,486 animals were in tho aggregate attacked, or 1 in every 10 of tho estimated ordinary stock j 607 healthy Cattle were slaughtered.

The earliest outbreak recorded in tins County was at Elstree in the Petty Sessional Division of Chipping Barnet, on 5th August 1865. It is attributed to stock bought in the Metropolitan Cattle Market. No cases are recorded for the two weeks ending 26th August and 2nd September ; but on the 4th of the latter month a fresh intro�duction of the disease appears to have taken place. From this date until the week ending 16tli June 1866 the disease existed with more or less severity : an increase took place during the months of March and April 1866, originating from foreign cattle brought into the Metropolis during the month of March.

The disease prevailed on 72 farms, amp;c., 3 of which were revisited after being free for three

weeks. 848 animals were in tho aggregate at�tacked, and 194 healthy cattle were slaughtered to prevent the spread of the disease.

11 of the 18 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divi�sions comprised in this County were visited by the Plague, which was experienced most severely in tho Dacorum Division.

On one farm in Chipping Barnet, 119 animals were attacked out of a stock of 124.

The cases reported for the different divisions are as follows :�Bishop's Stortford, 5 ; Cheshunt, 30 ; Chipping Barnet, 232 ; Dacorum, 326 ; Ed-winstree, 24 ; Hertford, 16; Hitchin, 5 ; Much Hadham, 4; St. Alban's, 181; Ware, 17; and Watford, 8.

The disease appeared at Great Marlow on 1st August 1865, and simultaneously in the adjoining County (Berkshire). It made steady progress until the end of January 1866, increasing consider�ably in February, March, and April, from which time the cases rapidly decreased to October 6th, 1866, when the last case was reported at Nodthall Leighton.*

303 farms were visited, and 10 were revisited, by the Plague. In the aggregate 2,591 animals

were attacked, or 1 in 20 of the ordinary stock of cattle.

In this, as in other instances, the disease appears traceable to animals brought from tho Loiulon market, to which source also is due, probably, tho increase of attacks for the months of March and April 1866.

Of the 14 Boroughs or Petty Sessional Divisions comprised in this County, 13 were visited by the disease, more attacks being reported for the Ash-

The first authenticated outbreak in this County is considered to have taken place on the 14tb of October 1865, at Standground, in the division of Norman Cross. Other cases of earlier dates have been rejected as not being Cattle Plague. From October until May 1866, the disease is continuously reported; it attained its height at tho end of tho year 1865, tho maximum number of attacks, 283, having been reported for tho week ending De�cember 30th. During tho first three months of 1866, the attacks decreased in much the same degree, as they increased for tho previous three months. From April Ist, 1866 to September 15th, when the last attacks were reported, the cases were neither numerous nor continuous.

The disease spread itself over the whole of the County, outbreaks having been reported for each of the 7 divisions, amp;c.

Tho disease first appeared in this County on August 7th, 1865, at Mepal, in the Isle of Ely, and is traceable to the London Cattle Market. It did not establish itself thoroughly until tho second week in October following ; but then it increased rapidly from 8 attacks, tho number recorded for tho week ending October 14tli, 1865, to 323 cases for tho week ending November 18th, and, to the maximum number of 497 for the week ending December 16th.

During January and February 1866 the malady continued with great severity, decreasing very gradually for tile next four months to the end of June, after which only a few isolated cases arc recoi'ded.

The disease appeared in no less than 1,089 farms, amp;c., 61 of which were revisited, after having been free for 21 days. In the aggregate 8,022 Cattle were attacked, being one in every 5 of tho estimated ordinary stock.

In addition to the losses inflicted by the disease itself, 3,097 healthy animals were slaughtered to prevent its spread.

The Divisions which suffered in tho greatest

degree are Ely, with South Witchford, in which 2,833 animals were attacked; Cambridge, for which 1,613 attacks are recorded; and Whittlesea, wherein 1,012 animals are reported to have suffered.

The only Divisions of this County for which cases are not reported are those of Linton, and the Borough of Wisbeach. The attacks in the different divisions, amp;c. arc as follows:�Arrington, part of, and Melbourne, 25 ; Bottisham, 116; Cambridge, 1,613; Cambridge Borough, 8; Caxton, 29; Ely and South Witchford, 2,833 ; Newmarket, 897 ; Whit�tlesea, 1,012; Wisbeach, 671 ; and Witchford, North, 818.

The following cases illustrate the severity of individual losses by the Plague. On a farm at Ely vSt. Mary, 177 animals were attacked, and 17 were slaughtered healthy, out of a Stock of 196.

In a Stock of 58, on a farm at Bedwell Hay, 57 animals were attacked, and the remaining animal was slaughtered healthy. On another farm, at Littleport, two distinct outbreaks occurred, and 57 out of 65 animals were attacked.

Tho disease appeared in this County about the end of July 1865, simultnnoously at Orsott and at Grays, and is traceable to animals brought from the London Market.

It existed with tho greatest severity during the four weeks ending Soptember 9th, 1865, the cases reported having been rospoetivoly 264, 254, 288, and 173. Attacks continued to bo reported to the beginning of May 1866, but tho Returns show a gradual decrease up to that time. From tho week ending May 5th to that ending June 23(1, no cases are recorded, but another outbreak then took place, and thenceforward, to the end of October 1866, with but two exceptions, cases arc reported con�tinuously, although in small numbers. The last recorded attacks took place at Leigh, in tho Rochford Petty Sessional Division, when 7 Cattle contracted the disease, and 14 were slaughtered.*

Tho Plague extended itself very generally over this County, the 22 Boroughs and Petty Sessional

Divisions, therein, having all suffered, more or loss, except only that of tho Borough of Sa�ron Waldon. Tho Divisions most heavily visited were Chelms-ford (355) and Urentwood (323).

The first outbreak in this County took place on the 5th of July 1865, at Beccles, and the infection is traceable to the London Market, through that of Norwich.

During the month of September the Plague is recorded to have been at its height. From that period, up to the middle of July, cases were re�ported continuously, although with a marked decrease in numbers for the months of May, Juno, and July 1866. Only 3 cases were reported for the period from July 14th to October 6th, when the last attack is recorded, at Thelnetliain in the Petty Sessional Division of Blackbourn.

Cases have been reported from 23 of the 27 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divisions of this County. Those which suffered most heavily are Lackford or Mildenhall, for which 784 cases are recorded, and Melford, for which 304 wore re�ported. The attacks in the different Divisions, amp;c. are as follows:�Beccles, 44; Beccles Borough, 44 ; Blackbourn, 184 ; Blything, 90 ; Bungay, 36 ;

APPENDIX I. TO THE nEPORT ON THE

Tho Plnguo appeared in this County about tho let or 2iul of July 1865, and scemn to be traceable to infected Cattle brought from London, and exhibited in the Market on Norwich Hill. Tho disease was reeognized about the same time on several farms, to which animals, originally from London, were convoyed, and it subsequently spread itself over the whole County, ns cases are recorded for all the 80 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divisions comprised therein.

Clackeloso and Eynsford were visited more heavily than other parts. Tho attacks reported for tho different Divisions, amp;c. are as under, viz.� BloMd and Walsham, 193; Clackeloso, 1,529; Clavering and Loddon, 157 ; Depwado, 39; Diss, II ; Earshara, 62 ; Erpingham, North, 148 ; Erpingham, South, 673; Eynsford, 815; Flogg, 121; Forohoe, 156; Freebridge Lynn, 129 ; Freebridge Marshland, 666 ; Gallow, 1 ; Grimshoc, 208 ; Greenhoe, North, 16; Groenhoo, South, 56 ; Guilteioss and Shropham, 3 ; Happing and Tun-stead, 353 ; Holt, 202; King's Lynn Borough, 1 ; Launditch, 19; Mitford, 76; Norwich Borough, 40; Smithdon and Brothercross, 28 ; Swains-thorpo, 558 ; Tavcrham, 123; Thetford Borough, 1 ; Wayland, 1 ; and Yarmouth Borough,. 32.

804 farms, Ac. wore visited by the Plague, and of these 25 were revisited after a lapse of 21 days. Altogether 6,417 animals wore attacked, being 1 in every 15 of tho estimated ordinary stock.

Attacks wore reported consecutively, week by week, from July 1865 until August 1866. Tho last case occurred in the week ending September 15th, 1866, nt Bridghom, in tho Guilteross and Shropham division, when the animal infected was killed, and 4 others, in contact, were slaughtered.

The disease appears to have been raging most severely during the months of November and December IStt/J. From March 1866 there is a rapid decrease in tho number of attacks reported, tho consequence, it is assumed, of tho provisions then made for tho compulsory slaughter of infected animals.

Among tho cases of heavy losses in this County are tho following:�On a farm at Crown Point, 153 animals, the whole stock, were attacked, and cither tiled or were killed. On a farm at Sail, the stock of 122 was thus disposed of: 108 were attacked, of which 11 were killed and 97 died, tho remaining 14 having been slaughtered.

The valuable breeding stock of one owner at West Dereham suffered very considerably.

The disease spread to this County on 8th July 1865, when an outbreak took place at Egg Buck-land, near Plymouth, which appears to be traceable to the introduction of Dutch oxen from the London Market, bought by the Government Contractor, at Plymouth. Two further Outbreaks, traceable to the first, occurred in tho week ending July 22nd; and from the week ending August 12th until March 1866, attacks were returned, week hy week, with but few exceptions.

The last cases reported are C for the week ending March 17th, 1866.

Out of 33 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divi�sions, 10 were visited by the disease, which appears to have been most severe in that of Mid-lioborough, 105 attacks having been reported for that Division.

In the aggregate 221 attacks were reported.

Outbreaks are recorded on 37 farms, of which 5 were revisited.

Only 2 attacks were reported for the month of May following, and not one was returned for June and July. The last attack is recorded in the week ending August 4th.

There does not appear to be any reason able doubt as to the disease having been introduced into Cornwall from the adjoining County of Devon.

Of the 26 Boroughs and Divisions comprised in this County, 10 were visited by the disease, those most severely affected being Pyder East, and Powder South.

In the aggregate, 1,069 attacks were reported, being 1 in every 12(gt; of the estimated ordinary stock of Cattlo. In addition to 124 Outbreaks, 3 farms were revisited after a lapse of 21 days.

Tho earliest appearance of tho Cattle Plague in this County wus noticed on 6th September 1865, atClevedon. No further ciises were reported until the week ending October 7th, when a second Outbreak took place on the siimc farm, und, from tlmt time, the disease appears to have been arrested in its progress, until the week ending 2d December.

It then continued to bo reported, witii but few intervals, week by week, to the end of April 1866. From this date until October 13th, when the last

2 attacks arc recorded at Ash Martock in tho YcoA-il Potty Sessional Division, there were but few cases, with tho exception of those for the week ending July 28th, when 27 attacks occurred, being the greatest number for any one week in this Cou nty.

Of the 29 Petty Sessional Divisions or Boroughs, 11 appear to have been visited, the greatest number of cases (79) being reported for the Ilminster Division.

The disease was first noticed in this County on 23d August 1865, at Kingswood, near Bristol. It then ceased for a time, no attacks being reported until the week ending October 7th.

During this hitter month, and in November and December 1865, the disease is recorded pretty regularly. But few isolated cases were reported subsequently, tho last of which was recorded at Horlield, for the week ending September 1st, 1866.

The attacks amounted to 174 in the aggregate.

Of the 26 Divisions or Boroughs, 6 appear to have been visited, the greatest number of cases (112) being reported for Lawford's Gate Division.

Only 23 farms, amp;c. are reported to have been visited by the Plague from the commencement.

The disease appears to have extended into Somersetshire from this County.

The Cattle Plague appeared on 10th September 1865 at Upper Court, Ullingswick, in the Potty Sessional Division of Bromyard, wheu 14 animals were attacked, all of which died.

No other cases occurred until the week ending October 7th, but from this dato up to the 10th March 1866 cases were reported weekly. The disease attained its height towards the end of the year, 125 attacks having been reported for the week ending 23d December 1866.

Out of the 13 Petty Sessional Divisions or Boroughs, 5 were visited, the greatest number of

cases (488) being reported from the Bromyard Division,

36 Farms, amp;c. were visited by tho Plague, of which second outbreaks appeared on 2 after a lapse of 21 days. There were attacked, in tho aggre�gate, 660 animals, being 1 in every 100 of tho estimated ordinary stock.

The following cases of great losses may bo mentioned. Tho whole of the Stock (141) on a farm at Morton's Court was attacked. In another instance, at Folton Court, not one animal out of 74 escaped tho disease ; and at Rosmund Farm, near Felton, 56 animals out of 57 were attacked.

The disease was first recognized in this County, on the 6th of July 1865, at Tyrley Castle, in the Drayton Division ; but it does not appear to have thoroughly established itself until October, no cases having been reported, from the end of July, until tho third week in September, and only 3 attacks from that time until the week ending October 21st, when 74 cases are recorded. From November the disease increased rapidly, the averages of attacks reported weekly during the months of December 1865, January, February, and March 1866, being as under :

December. January. February. March. Averages - 243nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;178 299 855

The disease appears to have established itself firmly in this County, attacks having been reported continuously from the end of September 1865 up to October 1866, when tho last case is recorded.* It is, however, somewhat remarkable, that for 11 out of the 23 Petty Sessional Divisions, amp;c. no cases have been reported. The chief centres of the disease appear to have been the Divisions of Drayton and Whitchureh, 2,657 cases being re-

corded for the former, and * 3,019 for the latter. The Attacks in the several Divisions, amp;c. are :� Albrighton, 3 ; Bridgenorth, 12 ; Condover, 39 ; Drayton, 2,657 ; Munslow, 1 ; Newport, 44 ; Oswestry, 24; Pimhill, 500; Shiffnal, 13; tho Borough of Shrewsbury, 3 ; Wem, 502; and * Whit-church, 3,019.

Tho Plague appeared on 456 farms, amp;C., 29 of which were revisited after having been free for 21 days. The Cattle on these farms, amp;c. amounted to 11,190, of which 6,817 were attacked, being 1 in every 16 of tho estimated ordinary stock in tho County. 809 healthy Cattle were slaughtered to prevent the spread of the' disease.

Among other cases showing the highly contagious nature of the Cattle Plague, and the losses which it inflicted, are the following : On a farm at Bubney 106 animals were attacked, and 5 were slaughtered, in a stock of 116 ; at Ashwood, of 92 animals on the farm, 91 were attacked ; and, at Adderley Hall, 90 animals were attacked, and 9 were slaughtered, out of a Stock of 102.

APPENDIX I. TO THE REPORT ON THE

The first outbreak of the disease in this County is stated to have occurrod at Bull Street, West Brom wich, on 20th July 1865, but it does not appear to have spread rapidly at first, as only 24 attacks are recorded to the end of August; from this time it made steady progress, reaching its maximum of attacks at the end of January 1866, when the number, reported for the week, was 461. From August 1865, to the end of September 1866, attacks were reported, week by week, and it may be remarked that from the Ist June until October 1866, when the last cases wore recorded, 283 animals were killed out of the 289 attacked.* In this, as in other Counties, the disease appears to have been finally quot; stamped outquot; by a strict observance of the provisions for compulsory slaughter. Outbreaks of the disease took place on 536 farms, amp;c., of which 31 were revisited after having been free for 21 days. On these farms, amp;c. there were 11,555 cattle, of which 5,322 were

attacked, being 1 in every 21 of the entire estimated ordinary Stock in the County. 711 animals were slaughtered healthy to prevent the spread of the disease. The plague raged with the greatest severity In the Divisions of Pirehill North, Leek, rirehill South, and Eccleshall. The cases recorded for the different Divisions, amp;c. are as under: Cheadlo, 214; Cuttlestono, 44; Eccleshall, 799; Ilanloy Borough and Sholton, 16 ; Leek, 1,182 ; Lichfield Borough, 1; Newcastle-undei-Lymo Borough, 22; Offlow South, 112 ; Pirehill North, 2,060 ; *Pirehill South (or Stone), 815 ; Rugeloy, 1 ; Soisdon, 13 ; Uttoxeter, 36 ; and Wolvcrhampton Borough, 7. The following individual cases may be mentioned : On a farm, at Wall Grange, Leek, 89 animals, the whole Stock, were attacked ; and on another farm, at Willow Bridge, in the North Pirehill Division, 73 animals, the whole Stock, were attacked, of which 59 died and 4 were killed ; the remaining 10 recovered.

The disease made its first appearance in this County on August 29th, 1865, at Stambermill, in the Division of Stourbridge, but it does not appear to have established itself to any great extent.

The attacks took place, principally, during the period from November 1865 to the end of March 1866, when the maximum number of weekly cases was returned, viz. (45). No cases were reported after the week ending May 5th 1866.

Only 7, of the 22 Divisions of this County, were visited by the disease, that of Tenbnry having suffered in the greatest degree.

The disease is reported to have attacked the Stocks on 30 farms, and to have revisited 1 after an absence of 21 days. In the aggregate, 243 animals were attacked. On three farms, amp;c. in the Petty Sessional Division of Tenbury, the Stocks of which comprised 117 animals, 90 were attacked.

Tho disease is reported to have made its fiist appearance on the 21st September 1863, at Alk-borough ; it is traceable to cattle bought at York Fair, and appears to have developed itself rapidly. Attacks were reported, continuously, from the first outbreak until September 1866, and isolated attacks were reported to tho end of November 1866.*

In the -whole County 14,004 Cattle were attacked, being 1 in every 13 of the estimated

ordinary stock, and 5,109 animals were slaughtered to prevent the spread of the disease. Tho Plague appeared on 2,226 farms, 60 of which sutfered from second outbreaks after having been free for 21 days. On those farms tho number of Cattle is stated to have been 33,309.

The statistics for this County have been arranged uudor its three Divisions, viz.;

Tho earliest outbreak appears to have occurred at Blyth, in the Division of Worksop, or Basset-law, ou the 2ud of October 1865, Tho animals quot; infected quot; are stated to have been brought from Eotherham Market. The disease did not spread to any great extent until January 1866, but from that time, until about tho middle of May following, the average of weekly attacks reported was 161,

The number of cases decreased very rapidly, from the end of May, up to August, when the last cases are recorded.* The Plague broke out on 380 farms, amp;c., 25 of which it revisited, after a lapse of 21 days. Of the total number of tbe Cattle (6,454) on the quot;infectedquot; farms, 3,320 were attacked and 1,206 were slaughtered healthy to prevent the spread of the disease.

Of the estimated ordinary stock in this County 1 in every 21 was attacked.

Only 8 of tho 15 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divisions were visited by the Plague, that of Ret-ford having suffered in the greatest degree. The cases recorded for the several Divisions are,� Bassetlaw or Worksop, 66 ; Bingham, 34; Brox-tow North, or Mansfield, 108 j Newark, 221 ; Not�tingham, 50 ; �Retford, the large number of 2,225 ; Southwell, 6 ; and Thurgarton North, 610.

This County, so long noted for its excellent pas�tures, supported about 137,798 Cattle, when the first appearance of the Plague was noted at Walton In�ferior, on 4th October 1865. No fewer than 93,880 animals are reported to havo been attacked before its disappearance on 1st December 1866 ; thus 68 in every 100 of the estimated ordinary stock con�tracted the disease, which visited 6,590 separate farms and premises, of which 503 were revisited after a freedom of 21 days. Comparatively few herds could have entirely escaped the ravages of the disease. The farms reported as infected con�tained as many as 112,964 Cattle, or within 24,834 of the entire estimated stock in the County. The Flague increased rapidly in the last few weeks of the year 1865, and further extended itself in the two following months, attaining its maximum fieverity in the week ending 24th February 1866, when as many as 10,277 animals were reported to have been attacked, or nearly half of the number returned in the same week for the whole of Groat Britain. From this period a decline set in, which continued, with slight variations, week by week, although it was not until 1st December that the last case was reported, from East Bucklow.

The following totals show the number of attacks reported in each respective Division or Borough, viz. :�Broxton, 16,024 ; East Bucklow, 7,467 ; Chester Borough, 431 ; Congloton Borough, 82; Daresbury, 5,846 ; Eddisbury, 17,294 ; Prestbury, 5,179 ; Macclesfield Borough, 2 ; Nantwich, 18,227; Northwich, 16,516 ; Stockport Division, 395; Stockport Borough, 22; and Wirral, 6,395. It will thus be seen that Broxton, Eddisbury, Nant�wich, and Northwich were visited with great severity. From Hyde Division and Staleybridge Borough no attacks were reported.

It is to be regretted that the rapidity with which the disease spread in this County prevented the

Inspectors keeping pace with it, and therefore that a large numher of attacks escaped being reported. Captain T. J. Smith, the Chief Constable for the County, hy the aid of the Constabulary, has been able to supply the deficiency to a great extent, and this Department is greatly indebted to him for his courtesy, and for the trouble he has taken in the matter.

Cheshire was the centre of a largo field of infec�tion, including the neighbouring Counties of Flint and Denbigh, the only Counties in Wales reached by the disease. During the first four months of the prevalence of the disease great reluctance was manifested in this County to the slaughter of diseased animals, and to this is partly attributed the rapid spread of the disease. During the week ending 17th February 1866, when 7,095 attacks were reported, only 79 diseased Cattle were re�turned as killed, while 5,541 are stated to havo died, and 846 to have recovered. In the week following, however, the quot; Cattle Diseases Preven�tion Act, 1866,quot; making the slaughter of infected animals cc mpulsory, came into operation, and the number killeii rose to 1,807, and in the next two weeks to 3,625 and 5,231 respectively, while the number of attacks considerably decreased. Many cases of great, loss to individual owners are re�corded ; among others, a farm a Peckforton, in the Division of Eddisbury, was visited by the disease on 3 Ist December 1865, and the whole stock of 155 Cattle was attacked, of which 143 died and 12 recovered. On another farm at Eddisbury, out of a stock of 132 animals, 116 were attacked and 16 were slaughtered healthy. A farm at Swettenham, in the Northwich Division, experienced four different outbreaks of the Plague, and of a stock of 136 Cattle, 116 were attacked and 4 were slaugh�tered healthy, after the last outbreak, to prevent the spread of the disease.

The disease was first reported to have appeared on 26th of August 1865, simultaneously on 2 farms, viz.; on one at Fishwick near Preston, in tho Potty Sessional Division of Amoundornoss, and on tlio other at Brindlo, in tho Loyland Division ; in tho former instance the introduction of tho Plague is traceable to animals, purchased at Preston Fair, and imported from Hamburgh to Hull; in the other case it is stated that the disease was intro�duced by some English cows which had lioon brought from Edinburgh, Tho infection spread rapidly, and numerous cases wore reported week by week until it attained tho maximum severity of 369 attacks in tho week ending lOth February 1866; from this date, although tho number of attacks declined, tho decrease was by no means rapid, for as many as 254 cases wore returned for the week ending 24th March, and, without any interval, attacks continued to bo reported up to 13th October. After this the numbers returned were few and intermittent, until the last case occurred in tho week ending 22nd December,

Altogether 6,011 attacks were reported on 922 farms, 24 of which were revisited by the disease. 2,058 Cattle were slaughtered healthy, to prevent its spread. Of tho estimated ordinary stock of Cattle ia the County 1 in every 34 contracted the disease.

Of tho 36 Petty Sessional Divisions and Boroughs into which the County is divided, the Plague is reported from 27 ; those most severely visited wore Amoundorness, 791 attacks; Bolton, 414; Garstang, 577; Prescot, 579; and War-rington, tho largo number of 1,533.

Among cases of severe individual loss may be mentioned tho following: On a farm at Throstle Nest, Garstang, the whole stock of 82 Cattle wore attacked. Of fliese, 13 recovered, and the re�mainder died or wore killed. At Wood Plumpton, Amoundcmess, of a stock of 90 animals, 63 were attacked, and killed. At Upper Rawcliffc, Garstang, 51 were attacked out of a stock of 54, and the roiaaiuing 3 were slaughtered healthy.

Tho three Ridings of this County were all severely visited by the Plague, which was first noticed in the West Riding at Leeds, on 28th August 1865 ; it extended to the East Riding on 17th September 1865, but did not roach the North Riding until 27th October. Up to 31st December 1866 an aggregate of 32,732 attacks were reported from 4,682 farms, amp;c., and 108 of these farms experienced a revisitation of the Plague. Of tho

The Plague visited this Hiding with far greater severity than either of the others, in proportion to the Cattle, one attack having been reported for every 6 of the estimated ordinary stock.

The disease was first reported on 17th September 18G5, from South Newbald in the Division of South Hunsloy Beacon ; it was not, however, until the early part of November that it established itself. From this time a considerable increase set in, until the maximum number was reached in tho week ending 17th February 1866, when 727 attacks were reported. Cases were returned during each week up to the 8tli September, after which time, and until the end of November, but few occurred. In the week ending 1st December fresh outbreaks took place, in South Holdorness, and attacks were reported weekly up to January 19th, 1867 ; further outbreaks occurred in the weeks ending 9th and 16th of March, and in the weeks ending 19th January and 30th March 1867 in Middle Holdor�ness, after which time the disease appears to have subsided.

From the commencement of the disease to 3Ist December .1866, 11,032 attacks took place on

1,408 farms, 44 of which were revisited after having been freo for 21 days. 1,850 Cattle were slaughtered healthy.

From this time its virulence gradually abated until the middle of July, after which cases wore only reported at intervals, the hist being in tho week ending 8th December 1860.*

Excepting tho Borough of Richmond, eases were roported for eacliof tho 19 Petty Sessional Divisions Mid Boroughs, tho greatest numbers being Allerton-shiro 973 attacks ; Birdforth, 1,584 ; liulmer, the largo number of 4,410; llallikcld, .^r)74 ; Pickering Lytlio, West, 530 ; and Ryedalo, 1,020.

Tho earliest outbreaks in this County occurred on the 20th and 23rd of August 1865, at West Hartlepool.

The Inspector states that the disease was introduced by cattle purchased in the Rotterdam Market, and landed at Hartlepool on the 18tli of August 1865.

The disease made no serious progress in this County, the greatest number of attacks reported for any single week having been 34 for tlio week ending December 16th, 1805. Cases continued to be roported until tlio middle of March 1866, after which only 1 case is recorded.*

Tho Plague appeared on 57 farms, amp;c., 2 of which were.revisited after having been free for 21 days. Altogether, 405 Cattle were attacked, and 170 were slaughtered healthy. The attacks

represent 1 in every 130 of tho estimated ordinary stock of cattle in the County.

Outbreaks occurred in llf of the 15 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divisions. The cases re�corded for these Divisions, iamp;c. are as follows :� Chester-le-Street, Easr, II ; Chester-le-Street, Middle, 2 ; Darlington, N.E., S.E., and S.W., 82 ; Darlington, N.W., 17 ; Easlngton, 61 ; Gateshcad, 1 ; Gateshcad Borough, 19; Hartlepool Borough, 31; Stockton, 174; Sunderlaiul Borough, 3; and South Shields Borough, 4.

API'ENDIX I. TO TUE UEl'OUT ON T11U

The disoivso appeared in this County on the 27th July 1865, at Shidlaw near Carhiun, in tho Putty Sessional Division of Glendalo, but it was not until Scptombor following tlmt cases were re�ported for consoeutiv� weeks.

Although it seems to have spread itself very generally over tho County, tho numbers of cases weekly are not very numerous. During the four months ending 31st December 18G5 the Plague appears to have been at its height. The last ease reported was for tho week ending April 7th, 1866, at Healey in Coquetdale West.*

The malady prevailed on 182 farms, amp;laquo;., of which 4 were revisited after having been free for 21 days. On these farms there were 2,611 animals, of whieh 1,155 were attacked, being 1 in every 69 of the estimated ordinary stock in the County. 696 healthy Cattle were slaughtered to prevent the spread of the disease.

Of the 17 Boroughs and Petty Sessional Divi-

sions in Northumborlaud, cases are recorded for 14 ; of these tho lurgost number occurred in the Borough of Nowfiastlo-on-Tyuo.

The cases recorded for the different Petty Ses-sional Divisions and Boroughs are as follows :� Bedllngtonshire, 116; Castle East, 5; Castle West, 45 ; Coquotdulo North, 5; *Coquetdale East, 109 ; Coquetdale West, 54 ; Glendalo, 16 ; lliiltwhistle, 7; lloxham or Tynedale, 50; Kirk Whelpingtou, 16; Morpeth, 116; Newcastle-on-Tyne Borough, 442; Norham and Island Shiros, 173 ; and Tynemouth Borough, 1.

Tho following cases, selected out of many, will illustrate individual losses from the disease :�On u farm at West Heaton, 44 animals were attacked out of a herd of 78 ; tho remaining 34 were slaugh�tered to prevent tho spread of the disease. On a farm at Camboro', in tho Bedlingtonshiro Division, 56 animals of a herd of 134 wero_attacked, and 40 were slaughtered healthy.

The Plague was first observed in this County on September 6th 1865, in the Borough of Car�lisle. It is traceable to two cows purchased by a cattle dealer from a dairyman at Fenham near Newcastle, whose stock was affected with the disease. The disease did not spread at once, only 1 attack, in the week ending October 7th, being recorded, until November; from this time it spread rapidly up to tho beginning of March 1866, when its progress was gradually arrested. The greatest number of attacks reported for any single week is 684, for the week ending March 3rd, 1866 ; from this time up to 30lh June, (when the last attacks were reported,*) of 2,984 animals which contracted the disease, 2,955 were killed either by order of Inspectors or Owners.

The disorder appeared on 690 farms, 40 of which were revisited after having been free for 21 days.

There were 14,045 Cattle on the farms, amp;c. visited by the Plague, of which 7,001 were at�tacked, and 2,603 were slaughtered healthy, to arrest the progress of the malady. Of those attacked, 4,497 were killed, 1,716 died, and 754

are said to have recovered; the remainder (34) are unaccounted for. The proportion of animals attacked to the estimated ordinary stock in the County is 1 in every 16.

The disease showed itself most severely in the Cumberland division of the County, 3,650 attacks having been there recorded in addition to 98 for tho Borough of Carlisle.

Of the 8 Divisions and Boroughs in this County, 5 suffered from tlie Cattle Plague. The number of cases recorded for the respective divisions, amp;c. is: Allerdale - below - Denveut, 1,940; Carlisle Borough,98;Cumberland, 3,650; raquo;Eskdale, 1,253; and Leath, 60.

The following cases serve to illustrate tho heavy losses of individual owners. On a farm at Cardew Hall, in the Cumberland Division, in a Stock of 114, 77 were attacked, and 35 were slaughtered healthy. At Whitrigg House, in the same Divi�sion, 64 animals wore attacked, and 8 were slaugh�tered, out of a Stock of 73. In the division of Alhrilale-bclow-Derwent, on a farm at Watchtrce, out of a Stock of 83, there wore 67 animals attacked, all of which were killed.

In this County tho disease was recognized on the 26th July 1865, at Broad Oak Farm, Iscoyd, in the Petty Sessional Division of Overtoil. From the reports it is evident that it did not thoroughly establish itself until tho beginning of November, outbreaks being recorded on only i) farms up to that date. From November it increased to the middle of February 1866, after which it declined to August, when the last case was reported at Bottislield, in the Ovcrton Division.

The disease was at its height during the months of December 1865 and January and February 1866, tho average of the weekly cases for those months having been for December 147, January 402, and February 811. 5,000 animals, or nearly one fourth of the entire estimated ordinary stock of the County, were attacked, and 326 wevo

slaughtered to check the progress of tho disease, which visited 552 farms, amp;c., of which 31 suffered from second outbreaks, after having been freo for 21 days.

Of the Divisions, amp;c. in this County, 5 were visited by the Plague ; that of Overtoil suffered in the greatest degree, as many as 3,380 cases having been recorded therein. The attacks in the diffe�rent Petty Sessional Divisions were, Cncrwys, 1 ; Mold, 1,172; Northop, 442; Overtoil, 3,380; and Rhuddlnn, 5,

On a farm nt Bronington, 124 animals were attacked, and killed, out of 153, tho entire stock ; on a farm at Frondirion 70 were attacked, of which 4 died, and 66 were killed, out of a herd of 78 ; on another farm at Kelsterton, 66 con�tracted the disease out of a Stock of 72.

This County possesses a considerable stock of Cattle, among which the disease made its first appearance at Coupar Angus on the 20th of Sep�tember 1865, and continued its progress, with varying intensity, to the end of March 1866, when it declined, to July 14th, in which week tho last 2 cases are recorded.

Of the estimated ordinary stock, 1 in every 10 was attacked by tho Plague, which extended to 567 farms, amp;c., 25 of which were revisited, after having been free for 21 days. 6,810 animals were in the aggregate attacked, and 1,219 were slaugh�tered healthy. Tho districts which suffered in tho

greatest degree are, Blairgowrie, Culross, Dunblane, and Dunkeld. The cases returned for the different districts, amp;c. are as under:�Auchterarder, 104 ; Blairgowrie, 1,574; Carse, 249; Coupar Angus, part of, 602 ; Crieff, 6; Culross, 975; Dunblane, 1,406 ; Dunkeld, 1,083 ; Perth, 674 ; Perth Burgh, 127 ; and Weem, 10. An estimate of tho losses inflicted by the Plague on individual owners may be framed on the instances under mentioned. On a farm at Haw Fauld, 62 animals, the whole Stock of the owner, wore attacked, of which 52 died. On another farm at Coupar G-rango, Bendocky, 57 animals, of a Stock of 59, were attacked.

In no County in Scotland, and in but few in Groat Britain, did the disease prevail with such intensity as in Forf'ar ; 14,296 animals were attacked, being 37 in every 100 of the estimated ordinary stock of Cattle.

The first appearance of the Plague was reported on the 17th of August 1865, in the Burgh of Porfar, but it did not spread at once from this centre of infection ; a second outbreak occurred on the 10th of September, and from that time its progress was very rapid. The number of cases reported soon increased to nearly a thousand in a week, and this high rate continued during the greater part of tho four months ending February 1866. The Plague visited 1,120 farms, amp;c., and re-appeared on 38, after an absence of 21 days. On the farms, amp;c. alluded to there wore in all 26,962 Cattle, and of these, in addition to tho losses by the disease, 6,765 auimals wero slaugiitercd, to check its progress.

From March 1866 it declined rapidly, to the 9th of June, when the last attack is recorded. The cases reported for the respective districts, amp;c. of Forfar are :�Arbroath, 3,262 ; Arbroatli Burgh, 12 ; Brechin, 2,772 ; Brechin Burgh, 62 ; Coupar Angus, part of, 494 ; Dundee, 1,893 ; Dundee Burgh, 59; Forfar, 2,418 ; Forfar Burgh, 42; Kerriemuir, 2,080; Montrose, 1,096; and Mon-trose Burgh, 106. Some idea may he formed of the losses suffered by individual owners from tho following instances, selected from many similar : On a farm at Craigie, Dundee, 143 animals, of a Stock of 146, were attacked ; on a farm at Linross, 132 animals were attacked, and tho remaining 17, (of an entire Stock of 149), wero slaughtered healthy; on another farm at Old Montrose, 105 animals wero attacked, and 19 wore slaughtered healthy in a Stock of 126.

The Cattle Plague gt;vas first reported in this County as having occurred, on the 10th of Octeber 1865, at Hilton of KineflP. No cases took place dur�ing the following three weeks ; but then a second outbreak is recorded, and the disease appears to have established itself. Cases are reported, week after week, from the early part of November up to the end of April 1866, when the Plague virtually ceased, only 2 isolated attacks being recorded subse-

quently, viz., for the week ending 12th of May. The disease broke out on 165 farms, amp;c,, and revisited 2, after they had been free for three weeks. In tho aggregate, 3,006 animals were attacked, being 1 in every 8 of the estimated ordinary stock of the County. Tho stock on the infected farms, amp;c. was 4,785, and, in addition to tho animals attacked, 507 were slaughtered healthy.

Although the stock of Cattle in this County is larger than that of any other in Scotland, the Plague did not extend itself to any considerable extent, owing, probably, to the Local Authorities having anticipated tho provisions of quot; The Cattlo Diseases Prevention Act, 1866.quot;

From tho first recognized outbreak of the disease, on the 18th of July 1865, to the 10th of March 1866, when tho last 6 attacks are recorded, pre�ventive measures of quot; stamping outquot; and quot; isola�tion quot;' wore adopted. Of the whole estimated ordi-

nary stock, viz., 133,754, only 316 animals wero attacked on 39 farms, amp;c.; not one of these farms was revisited by the disease. Only 7 cases are recorded of diseased animals having recovered ; 212 of the 316 animals attacked were killed, and 97 died. 250 were slaughtered healthy to arrest tho progress of tho disease. From the end of August 1865 every animal attacked either died or was killed. The disease visited only two districts, namely, those of Aberdeen and Petcrhead. In tho former there were 62 cases, and in the latter 254.

REMARKS

THE RETURNS FROM EACH COUNTY

I'ROM THE

1st January 1867 to the Termination of the Disease in September 1867.

GREAT BRITAIN.

During the year 1867 the Cattle Plague appeared on 31 farms, sheds, or other plaecs which had not been previously visited, and re-appeared on 23 farms, amp;c., making altogether 54 distinct outbreaks of the disease in 1867.

Among 1,459 Cattle, on these premises and on one farm remaining infected at the end of 1866, 317 are recorded as having been attacked ; the number of attacks would therefore average about 6 for each outbreak, and the proportion of attacks is 38 per cent, of the stock on premises where the outbreaks occurred, after those slaughtered healthy (from having been in contact with diseased animals) are deducted ; 295 of the Cattle attacked were killed and 22 died; 628 animals were slaughtered healthy to stay the progress of the disease.

The total number of Cattle reported to have been attacked since the commencement of the disease is 278,943, being at the rate of one in every IS of the estimated ordinary stock, and out of every 1,000 attacks in which the results have been ascertained, 853 animals perished.

Of the 317 attacks recorded from the 1st of Ja�nuary to 3rd September 1867, more than two-thirds occurred in the metropolis. The maximum number took place during the months of May and June, in the former month 144 attacks having been reported, and 42 in the latter.

It was in the week ending January 26th, 1867, that the first cessation of Cattle Plague throughout the kingdom was reported ; after it had lasted without intermission for 19 months.

In the corresponding week of the previous year (1866), no fewer than 12,888 animals wore attacked; while in the week that ended February 24th 1866, the disease attacked 17,875 Cattle.

From the 26th January 1867 to the 16th February inclusive, four fresh outbreaks, comprising 32 attacks, took place; two more weeks, viz., those ending February 23rd and March 2nd, then passed over without any attacks being reported ; three fresh out�breaks, however, occurred in the following week (end�ing March 9th), and although there were occasional intervals, of four weeks altogether, during which no cases were reported, the disease continued, with attacks varying from 1 to 84 in number weekly, in different localities, until the week ending August 10th inclusive, subsequent to which date only five cases occurred, and the last attack is reported to have taken place on the 8rd September 1867, the disease having existed for a period of rather more than two years and two months.

The progress of the disorder in Great Britain, the Metropolis, and those Counties of England in which it re-appeared, will bo found under the several head�ings in the tabular stulemciils at pages 196 to 206.

I.�THE METROPOLIS.

(Inehidinq Parishes and Places in which the Metropolitan Boanl oj Works have power to hoy a Main Drainage Jiate.)

After a lapse of four months, the Cattle Plague revisited the Metropolis on the 28tli January, This fresh outbreak occurred in the Finsbury District, and out of a stock of 46 Cattle, 28 were attacked, and the whole of the animals, whether diseased or not, were killed.

This re-appearance of the disease is remarkable, as occurring on the premises visited by the first authen�ticated instance of Cattle Plague in June 1865.

From February 1867 to the termination of the disease in September, five of the eight Districts into which the Metropolis is divided, were again infected, and 217 attacks are recorded.

For the 12 weeks immediately following that ending February 2nd, 1867, no instance of any fresh outbreak in the Metropolis was reported, but tho disease re-appeared on the 28th April, on premises in George Street, Limehouse Fields, and on May 4th in the New North Road, Islington. In tho succeeding #9632;week, another outbreak took place at Stoke Newington Green, and during tho months of May and June 175 attacks occurred, 141 of which were in tho Finsbury District; tho number then declined to 11 in tho month of July, 2 in August, and in September 1 case only was reported.

Fifteen separate premises wore visited by the disease for the first time, and 14 were revisited, (having been free for more than 21 days), giving a total of 29 distinct outbreaks of Cattle Plague in tho Metropolis during the year 1867.

The Districts which suffered were, Westminster 7 attacks, Marylebone 14, Finsbury 169, Tower Hamlets 25, and Southwark 2 ; 208 of the Cattle attacked were killed, and 9 died. 319 were slaugh�tered healthy by orders of inspectors, and 44 by those of the owners.

Report on the Oattlk Plague by Professors Simonds and Bkown.

History of the Early Outbreaks oi? Malignant Diseases of Cattle, (ncludinq tue Pbogbess of the Cattle Plaoub on tjik Continent to the end of 1867.

Uiuler various names, but chiofly that of murmin, cnttlo dis(gt;ttses of a malignant and contagious typo m'� oCton spoken of l)y ancient historians.

Tho earliest mention of oneof thesediseasos occurs in tho pages of Holy Writ, wherein it is rocordecl that, as a Divine punishment to the obdurate Pharnoli for detaining the Children of Israel in bondage, a grievous murrain of quot; boils and blainsquot; destroyed all the cattle of the Egyptians, 1487 n.c.

As would be supposed, however, profane history is more especially replete with descriptions of these early visitations of cattle murrains, and among the chief of the writers, Homer, probably not loss than 90O years before tho Christian era, describes their destructive effects on tho cattle of tho Greeks during the seigo of Troy. Whether, in ascribing tho out�break of the pestilence to tho arrows of Apollo, Homer intended thereby to symbolize a vitiated con�dition of the air as giving rise to this disease, is not necessary for ns to inquire; suffice it to say, that from the earliest times pestiferous maladies have been thought to depend on a cause of this kind.

Subsequently to the period referred to, such frequent allusions are made to cattle minniins that almost a continuous history of them may bo .said to exist. Plutarch, in his life of Numa Pompilins, asserts that in the days of Romulus, 753-714, B.c., quot; a great plague, after destroying tho fruits of the quot; earth and tho cattle, swept off many of the Romans quot; and Laureates ;quot; to which account Livy adds, quot; that quot; the consuls had tho greater difflculty to raise their quot; recruits, because the plague, which the yeur before quot; had raged among the horned cattle, was then broke quot; out upon men.quot;

Livy also yet more fully relates, quot; that in the year quot; 355 of the liomah era there was such n plague quot; over all sorts of animals that, neither the cause nor quot; the cure being discovered, processions, ofTcnngs, quot; and supplications were made in Rome, during eight quot; days to the pagan gods to appease their wrath and quot; avert the disease.quot;

Virgil, Varro, Ovid, Pliny, and Columella also make frequent mention of outbreaks of cattle pests in Italy.

The description which Virgil gives, in his Crcorgics, of one of these visitations a little before the Christian era, has been often quoted in support of their de�structive effects upon animals in the Cotean Alps.

A vitiated state was mostly regarded as giving origin to all kinds of pestiferous maladies. This opinion, however, appears not to have been uni�versally shared in, hence we iiml Pliny, who wrote a few years subsequently to Virgil, ascribing their presence to the quality of tho food, particularly to the quot; rust of grass.quot; quot; The prophetical writings quot; says he, quot; speak of this disease as an effect of God's wrath, quot; and therefore it was that Numa Pompilins, the quot; successor of Romulus, instituted festivals, called quot; Rubigalia Festa, to avert its effects ; these were quot; celebrated in April, because the disease of the quot; vegetables usually began in that month.quot;

Cecilius Severus describes a cattle plague of 376, A.n., as having been general throughout Europe, and proving so destructive as to leave In many countries but few animals alive. Cardinal Bnronins adds to this account, quot;that none escaped but such as quot; were marked on the forehead with the sign of the quot; cross, by which miracle many people were converted quot; to Christianity.quot;

Vcgetius, a voluminous writer upon dlsonscs of animals in the fourth century, gives descriptions of several pestiferous affections common to cattle, but does not mention any which can be identified us the cattle plague of modern times, lie says that quot;all quot; these diseases are full of contagion, and if they quot; seize an animal they pass immediately to all, and

quot; so bring destruction sometimes, either upon whole quot; herds, or upon those that are tame und broke quot; for labour ; therefore the animals which have quot; been attacked must with all diligence and cure be quot; separated from tho herd, and put apart by them-quot; selves, and sent to those places where no animal is quot; pastured, lest by their contugjion they endanger all quot; the rest, and the negligence of tho owner be im-quot; puted to the Divine displeasure.quot; Vcgetius con�sidered that the spread of these affections depended chiofly on the breath of a diseased animal, and by the smell of a dead one, and, therefore, ho says, quot; tho quot; dead carcases must bo thrown out at a great dis-quot; fance beyond the bounds of the villa, and buried quot; very deep in the earth, lest the internals of those quot; that are sound he infected by them and they also quot; perish.quot;

During the sixth century, and again in the ninth, frequent allusions are made to cattle diseases, chiefly by agricultural writers. Early in the ninth century it, is recorded by Fracastorius, Weierus, and others, that these plagues wore so rife and destructive that nearly all the cattle in tho Kmperor Charleniagne's army, as well as throughout, his dominions, perished in the year 810 from a scourge of the kind.

Alluding to this circumstance, Mr. Murray, late Consul General at Odessa, in a despatch to the Earl of Clarendon, dated March 23rd 1866, states that it is tho first recorded instance of tho cattle plague having been imported quot; from the Asian shores into quot; Europe. The disease appeared,quot; he says, quot;in Hun-quot; gary and Illyria, and spreading rapidly throughout quot; Germany, Austria, and Flanders, destroyed an quot; immense number of animals.quot;

Again, ho remarks that quot; in the year 820 tho plague quot; reappeared in Hungary, and after raging there with quot; great violence passed away to the West of Europe.quot; And further, that quot; in 850 France, Spain, and Ger-quot; many wore again ravaged by the disease.quot;

When England was first visited by the cattle plague has not been ascertained, but it would appear from some historical records which have been left, to have occurred about the middle of the ninth century, while the disease was so rife on the continent. During tho succeeding dark ages, little mention, on which reliance can be placed, is made of cuttle diseases ; but on the revival of tho arts and sciences they ugain form a prominent subject of history.

About 1224, England is said to have experienced another very serious loss of cattle from a malady which crossed the Channel from Western Europe, into which it had penetrated from the East, it is also recorded that in 1240 a cattle plague existed in Hungary from which country it spread over the rest of Europe.

Dr. Playfair, and other writers of note, affirm that a very fatal disease attacked the horned cattle of England in 1348-!). The animals are said to have quot; died by tboiisniiels, and the herdsmen, pnnic-quot; stricken, to have fled from their herds, which roamed quot; about the country carrying the plague into every quot; district.quot; Dr. Playfair also observes that quot; about quot; a century later, viz. 1480, the murrain among cuttle quot; was prevalent throughout Europe, and once, more quot; fell upon this country,quot; and ho odds quot;thai it was quot; now accompanied by a plague among men.quot;

In 1514, and again in 1599, according to records left, by liammazini, the Venetian Stales snllered to such an extent from a plague, among cattle, that to prevent any ill effects upon the health of the people the Senate forbade the use. of all beef and veal, and likewise milk, us articles of diet.

It is also recorded that a cattle plague visited Spain a second time in 1514, and that in 1()25 a similar disease reappeared in Italy, having travelled thence from Hungary, between these dates, viz., in

IMH-f), the plagno is said to have dostroyocl large numbers of cattle in Germany, and in 1616 to have rcvisilod Lombarcty ami tho Venetian States.

Bradley, in hie work on the plague at Marseilles, records, on the authority of Dr. Winder, tlmt quot;in *' the year 1(502 n murrain infected the cattle on the quot; borders of Italy, which spread farther into Swit-quot; zerlnnd, the territories of Wnrtcmlmrg, and over quot; other pi'ovinces, and made groat destruotlon nmong quot; them ;quot; and Yoimtt, referring to this disease, says that quot;the .Tournal des Savans for 1662 contains quot; nn account of an epidemic which destroyed a quot; great number of cattle in most of the provinces of quot; France/'

Again, in 1665, a little before the great plague which niHicted Hie people of England, one of these malignant diseases prevailed among tho cattle. Uatcs, surgeon to His Majesty George the First's household, in his report to their Excellencies the Lords Justices on the disenso of 1714, says of this visitation, quot;that quot; it is affirmed by several now living that there was a quot; mortality among the cattle a little before tho last quot; great plague of man in the year 1665, which was quot; imputed to the want of a due care in burying themquot; �the dead cattle ;�and he adds quot;your lordships may quot; know of what importance it was judged by the quot; King of Prussia, the Stales of Holland, and several quot; other Princes and States, by the care they took to quot; publish decrees and placards commanding them to quot; be buried upon pain of death, or other severe quot; penalties.quot;

Alluding to the nature of these pests, as described by ancient writers Dr. Layard says that, quot; the quot; malis of Gosncr and Aldrovmidus, writers of quot; 16th century, bears a groat resemblance to the quot; disease now in England quot;�1757�quot; especially that quot; sort o{malis termed hi/podcrmititis.quot;

Sufficient information, however, lias not been left for it to bo affirmed that any of the diseases alluded to as having manifested themselves in England were of the same nature as the cattle plague of 1714, 1745, 1770, and 1865. It appears, nevertheless, that each had a prior existence on the continent ; thus showing the probability of its importation into this country on these several occasions.

The cattle plague of 1714 was first observed at Islington about the middle of July, but, according to Bates, who specially investigated the outbreak by command of their Excellencies the Lords Justices, the malady did not extend above 20 miles westward from London. It proved very severe for about three months, after which tho attacks abated. The means which were adopted, namely, killing and burying, or burning the diseased animals, and paying for those which were killed at the beginning of the attack at the rate of 40s. each, snlliced entirely to get rid of the plague by Christinas of the same year. Bates records that at his first visit to Islington he found that quot;Mr. Ratcliff, a dairyman, had lost, 120 cows out laquo;' of 200, Mr. Enfford 62 out of 72, and Mr. Pullen quot; 38 out of 87.quot; The total loss seems to have been quot; 5,418 bulls and cows, and 439 calves.quot; George the First paid the sum of 6,774/. l.v. lie/., as a Royal bounty, oat of the civil list for the animals killed, at a rate of 40laquo;, per cow or bull, and 10*. per calf. To meet, the rest of the loss a brief was issued for 24,500/., but it only produced 6,278/. 2raquo;. Gd.

.No sufficient account has been left, as to the manner the disease was introduced into tbe neighbourhood of London, but, of its importation from the Continent, and probably from Holland, no reasonable doubt, can be entertained.

As early as 1709 the progress of the cattle plague bad been distinctly traced from 1 bo Bussinn steppes. Passing through 1'odolia, Bessarabia, nnd Hungary, it readied Diihnalia, and thence crossed into Italy. Both Rammtizini and Lancisl, who wrote upon the nflbction at that time, are very clear in describing its course, and the country from which it came.

Mr. Youatl, in describing its entrance into Italy, nnd itlaquo; spread from (hence to Western Europe, says lliat quot;Tbe, origin of the epidemic of 1711 seems to quot; be clearly traced. Some cattle merchants were

quot; importing, according to their annual custom, beasts quot; from Dalmatia, which wore in request in some quot; parts of Italy. One of those oxen being taken ill, quot; and straying from tho herd, was abandoned by tho quot; merchants in tho neighbourhood of Padua. A quot; servant of tho canon of Padua found him, and quot; whothor with or without tho knowledge of his quot; master does not appear, took possession of him, and quot; put him into a cowhouse among others that wore quot; perfectly well. In a few days ho died, but not quot; until ho had infected every beast, and so surely quot; that they all perished except one, in whoso neck quot; setons had been placed. The contagious nature of quot; tho disease finding a too powerful auxiliary in some quot; peculiar state of tho atmosphere at that time, the quot; nuihidy quickly spread through tho whole Venetian laquo; territory.quot;

Ho further adds, quot; The pest was soon propagated quot; over the greater part of Italy. It appeared in Milan quot; even in a more virulent, character than it had as-quot; sumed in the Venetian states, and when it reached quot; the duchy of Ferrara it had so fearfully acquired quot; strength as it proceeded, that it was the prevalent quot; opinion among the best-informed persons in the duchy quot; that the whole species of horned cattle would quickly quot; become extinct. By 1714 it had reached Piedmont, quot; still apparently increasing in malignity. According quot; to Fantoni, professor of medicine at Turin, more quot; than 70,000 cattle perished in that little territory. quot; From Piedmont it easily found its way into France. quot; All the provinces of the south of France, and bor-quot; dering on Germany, were devastated by it. And quot; now its progress was rapid and murderous to a quot; fearful degree ; for before the end of the year it quot; had reached Brabant and Holland, in the latter of quot; which at least 200,000 cattle perished, and it had quot; crossed the Channel to England.

Mills, F.R.S., in his work on cattle, 1776, says of this visitation of 1709, et seq., that by the wise precau�tions of Popo Clement XL the states subjected to him were preserved against the introduction of the disease for two years. quot;In the middle of the summer of quot; 1713, however, information was received that some quot; drovers were conducting a great number of cattle quot; to the fair of Frosinone, a town in the Ecclesias-quot; tical State, bordering on the kingdom of Naples, quot; and to prevent all danger, orders were imme-quot; diately given that the fair should not be held. quot; The drovers, feeling the impossibility of selling quot; their cattle as they had intended, led them through quot; by-ways to Home. They were sold at a low price, quot; and being sold again to the inhabitants of the towns quot; and villages throughout that province, the infec-quot; tion was soon spread over (ho whole Campania quot; of Rome. An exact register was kept of all the quot; cattle that died from the month of October 1713 quot; to the month of April 1714, when the infection quot; censed in the Ecclesiastical State. It presents a quot; shocking detail of tho effects of the pestilence, by quot; which were destroyed 8,466 oxen used for plough-quot; ing, 10,125 white cows, 2,816 rod cows, 108 breed-quot; ing bulls, 427 young bulls, 451 heifers, 2,362 calves, quot; 862 buffaloes male and female, and 635 young quot; buffaloes, in all 26,252 cattle, in the space of nine quot; months. Lancisl thinks, that if the computation quot; had been begun from tho 2nd of August, the num-quot; ber of cattle which perished would have amounted quot; to 30,000.

At the outset of the disease Mills says that quot; Laneisi quot; proposed to a congregation of cardinals to kill all quot; the infected cattle, and also nil those which (here quot; was the least room to suspect of being infected. quot; This advice, however, was rejected after a long quot; debate, and it was too soon experienced how much quot; wiser and more prudent it would have been to quot; liave followed it.quot;

Between 1714 and 1745, tho cattle plague con�tinued to devastate Europe, Dr. Playfair says of this period that the quot;wars of Louis XIV., until quot; his death in 1715, aided much in the propaga-quot; lion of the murrain. The armies of the allies quot; under Marlborough and Prince Eugene frcqucmly quot; carried it in their train, or received it in the

CATTLE PLAGUE IN GREAT BRITAIN,

239

quot; capture of commissariat cattle from the Frencli. quot; Holland from 1713 to 1723 lost more than 200,000 quot; cattle, and thou had a period of roposo from its '' ravages. In almost every instance during this cen-quot; tury wo find the plague spreading with violence quot; whenever Russian and Austrian troops penetrated quot; westward, or when the troops of other countries quot; commingled with the former in war or peace. This quot; was specially observed in the war of snecession on quot; tho death of Charles VI. in 1740. It is familiar to quot; every reader of history that tho Hungarians warmly quot; espoused the cause of Maria Theresa, and as the quot; tide of war surged backwards and forwards, the quot; Hungarian cattle, used to feed the Austrian armies, quot; carried with them the seeds of the plague, and again quot; spread these broadcast over Europe. Frederick quot; tho Great, in his frequent encounters with tho quot; Austrians and the Russians, took back this cattle quot; plague as his Nemesis to Prussia. In eight years '^: after the death of tho Emperor Charles VI., the quot; west and centre of Europe alone lost 3,000,000 of quot; horned beasts.quot;

In the year 1745 England was again visited by the cattle plague, and on this occasion the disease con�tinued its ravages with more or less virulence for a period of twelve years, namely, down to the end of 1757.

The progress of the disease from the East was again distinctly traced, and it is a singular fact that the malady passed through the same countries to reach Central and Western Europe as it hud done in 1709. It made its way here through Venice, Piedmont, France, Belgium, and Holland.

Tho exact period of its introduction in 1745 has not been recorded, but Dr. Theophilus Lobb in his work upon the plague of man, which to some extent also treats of contagious diseases in cattle, makes a state�ment which would lead to tho inference that the disease probably appeared here in the early part of the year. He thus writes:�quot; There is in the 'London Gazette' of quot; Saturday, May 2oth, 1745, tho following paragraph: quot; ⁱ Hamburg, May 19lt;/t, N.S.�The mortality among quot; the horned cattle has now reached within a German quot; mile and half of the Balliagc of Pinnenberg con-quot; tiguous to tho territory of Hambourg, which is of quot; little extent, on the side of Danish Ilolstein. The quot; appearance of this same distemper at Hambourg quot; gives an alarm lest it should gain further on that quot; side of the country ; proper precautions are used quot; to prevent its spreading, and to got the better of quot; it in its beginning, which is attributed to some quot; infected cattle having passed through there. The quot; evil has even communicated itself likewise to tho quot; Danish Islands of Zeeland and Fuhnen.'quot;

Whether the plague had travelled as far as Ham�burg northward before it entered Holland has not been ascertained ; but little doubt can be entertained that it came into England from Holland in tho tirst half of the year. Two versions of the manner in quot;which the disease was introduced have been given. Dr. Mortimer, who wrote somewhat fully upon the subject, ascribes its introduction to a farmer, living at Poplar, having purchased two white calves in Holland, which he imported for the purpose of improving his own breed of cattle. He also says, that the plague was carried from Essex into Berkshire by the pur�chase of some cows infected with the disease. Other authorities, however, assert that the disease was not introduced by a direct importation of infected cattle, but that it was brought over by the purchase of some skins of diseased animals slaughtered in Zeeland. These skins had been ordered to be buried, but in place thereof they were surreptitiously exported from Ilolland into England. Thus, two causes are assigned for tho outbreak of 1745, both of which, however, so far agree as to show that the disease was introduced from the continent, and that it had not its origin among British cattle.

Before alluding to the extent of the plague in England, it may be remarked that the losses of cattle in Holland were enormous. It is recorded that up�wards of 200,000 fell a sacrifice to the afi'cctiou in that country on this occasion.

It unfortunately happened that attention was not directed to tho existenco of tho catttle plague in Eng�land as early as could have been desired, and that, in consequence of this, tho disease had obtained a firm footing before anything was done by tho Government to arrest its course. Action appears to have been lirst taken on November the 25th, 1745, when His Majesty George tho Second appointed a Commission of ci^ht of the Justices of tho Peace for Middlesex to inquire into the matter, but it was not until the following year that Parliament gave power to the King in Council to issiui Orders for the suppression of the malady. This Act received the Royal Assent on Feb�ruary 7, 174(), ami very soon afterwards tho Orders which were made under its provisions were brought into operation. It is recorded that not loss than 80,000 cattle were killed in tho year 174G, to prevent tho spread of tho affection, costing the Government 133,000/. It is also stated, that when tho disease was at its height no less than 7,000 animallaquo; were killed per month, at the cost of 11,000/. to tho Treasury.

Although the disease prevailed for so many years and produced such enormous losses, no precise in�formation exists as to the total number of animals that perished. A tolerably good idea, however, may bo formed of the number, by the circumstance that during the third year of the plague not less than 30,000 died in the county of Cheshire in the space of six months, and 40,000 in the same time in the county of Nottinghamshire. Lincolnshire is also said to have lost 100,000 during tho second year of the plague. It is likewise worthy of note, that chiefly by the opposition which was given to the Government measures for the suppression of the disease, it had extended, by the year 1749, into every county in England, with the exception of four, namely, Dorset, Devon, Somerset, and Cornwall.

Among the means taken to arrest the progress of the malady, fairs and markets were suppressed, and the movements of animals restricted. The cattle fair at Barnet�one of tho largest fairs now held in the immediate neighbourhood of London�owes its origin to this outbreak of the cattle plague. From a very early date an annual fair had been held at Islington, but in 1746 an order for its suppression having been issued, the Welshmen, who were accustomed then, as now, to bring large droves of cattle from Wales into Middlesex, finding they could not sell their cattle at Islington, took them on to Baruot, and extemporized a fair. Hero it has ever since been held.

During 1757 the disease greatly declined, and by the beginning of the following year it had ceased en�tirely. Its cessation was celebrated in February 1759 by a general thanksgiving. Subsequently to 1757 England remained freo from the cattle plague until 1769-70, when a partial outbreak again took place.

It seems, however, that during this interval the plague continued to pervade Western Europe to a greater or less extent. Among other proofs of its existenco in Western Europe may bo noted its preva�lence in France from 1740 to 1746, and again from 1771 to 1776. quot; In Belgium tho mortality proved 'so quot; great, that in order to preserve what few cattle quot; had survived, an Ordinance of 1766 prohibited quot; the export of cattle and tho slaughter of calves quot; and heifers.quot; For the three years, namely, from 1768 to 1771, the loss in Holland alone is reported as 395,000. In 1770 the Dutch Government offered a prize of 80,000 florins for a cure of the malady ; and it is recorded, that while the colleges of Leyden and Utrecht were discussing the subject, the plague carried oil' no less than 284,534 animals. Indeed by 1776 so destructive had tho disease proved that it is said but very few cattle were left alive in the whole of the Netherlands.

On this occasion the disease! also passed into Sollies-wig-llolslein and Denmark, where it existed from 1774 to 1781, and destroyed no less than 150,000 animals. Eastern Europe suffered at tho same lime and to an equal, if not a greater, extent. Adani, who wrote of the disease in 1781, says that quot;Austria quot; had continued to suffer from it for thirty years with* quot; out intcrmisuion.quot;

APPENDIX II. TO TIIR UEPOBT ON TIIK

These iiicts are sut�cient to show that the cattle pliifjue prevailed on the Continent during the interval which elapsed between its cessation in England in 1757 and its roappeoi'anoe in 1769-70. They have also an important bearing on its re-introduction hero during the latter-named year.

The risk which was incurred of its importation led to an lt; )rder of Council bearing dato May 26th, 1769, forbidding the bringing in of cattle and hides from either Denmark, Sweden, Holstein, Hamburgh, or Mecklenburg.

This was followed by another Order in December of the same year, prohibiting also the importation of hay and straw.

In September 1770 the prohibition was extended to Flanders, but notwithstanding these precautionary measures, the disease made its appearance in Hamp�shire, having been first brought to London as was supposed by some hay imported from Holland. On the 3rd December 17()9 notice of the outbreak was received by the Privy Council from the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, the Earl of Northington. Measures akin to those adopted in the former out�breaks, and which had proved successful for the extermination of the disease, were at once put in force. They quickly proved etfective, as the plague is reported to have entirely ceased in the county by the end of January 1770.

It appcni-s, however, that no legal power existed for issuing the Orders on which these measures were based, and us such their promulgation was noticed in the King's Speech, on the 9th of January 1770 :�

quot;It is with much concern,quot; said His Majesty, quot;that quot; I lind myself obliged to open the Session of Par-quot; linment with acquainting you that the distemper quot; among the borncd cattle has lately broke out in this quot; kingdom, notwithstanding every precaution that quot; could be used for preventing the infection from quot; foreign parts. Upon the first notice of ito actual quot; appearance my next attention was to endeavour to quot; stop, if possible, its further progress, and as the '' success of those endeavours must in all probability quot; have been entirely defeated by any the least, degree laquo;' of delay in them, I thought it absolutely necessary, laquo; with the advice of my Privy Council, to give '�' immediate directions for every step to be taken that quot; appeared most capable of checking the instant danger quot; of the spreading of the infection until I could have quot; the opportunity of consulting my Parliament upon quot; some more permanent measures for securing us quot; against so great a calamity ; and to your immediate quot; and serious consideration I earnestly recommend quot; this very important object.quot;

An Indemnity Act was quickly passed, and in the same year this was supplemented by an Act renewing the provisions of the Acts of George II. which had expired.

The Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland also published a proclamation forbidding the importation of horned cattle and hides from England on account of the infectious distemper mentioned in His Majesty's

speech.

Notwithstanding the power which was now vested in Government, and the continued precautions which were adopted, the plague suddenly made its appearance in the mouth of March 1770 at Portsoy, in LanlT-sbire, having been brought there, as was believed, direct from Holland by the cargo of tlie ship Diligent, the property of Messrs. Robertsons. It was satis�factorily ascertained that the cattle of Mr. James Robertson, one of the owners of the vessel, were the first to be affected. The herd consisted of nine animals, and of these eight died and one was killed. Prompt measures were adopted by the local authority for exterminating the pest, notwithstanding which the affection spread, and was at last only arrested by the slaughter of all the cattle in Portsoy, and of many others in the adjacent parishes. Compensation was allowed for the animals which were killed, the Treasury paying the sum 0(7621. 12laquo;. To prevent B fresh outbreak of the disease it was decreed that no cattle should be kept by any person in the town of Portsoy for the space of three months after the killing of the infected

beasts, and that all animals which had been exposed to the infection should bo washed with vinegar and water. The disinfection of tho places which had been occupied by tho diseased cattle by limo-whiting, burning aromatic herbs, amp;c., was also ordered. Tho total number of animals which died and were killed on this occasion was about 200.

There seems to bo scarcely a doubt of the disease being cattle plague, although the precise manner in which it had been introduced could not bo satisfac�torily ascertained. Tho ship is said to have had neither skins, hay, nor packages on board; but it should be borne in mind that an Order in Council existed, which forbade the importation of things of this kind from the Netherhmds, and as such it is not improbable that concealment of tho real facts would be attempted. No doubt smuggling was actively carried on at that time, and persons interested in misrepresenting matters could easily be found.

The carrying out of any measure intended for tho general good is always difficult when individual interests are at stake. Thus, during tho cattle plague panic which we have just passed through, it was found that, among other evasions, the Order which was issued for persons not to part with any cattle until they had been in their possession for at least twenty-eight days was frequently disregarded, more especially by dealers. These men making their pur�chases at different places, and at different times, had the animals in each case properly moved by passes to their premises, where doubtless many of them remained for tho space of twenty-eight days. Some of them, however, did not; for if the dealer wanted to quot; make up a lotquot; to go to a particular customer, he did not hesitate to select animals from his recent purchases, and obtain an order for their removal, with those which had been in his possession the required time. Several outbreaks of the disease both in ISG� and 1866 were found to bo due to evasions of this kind.

The stamping out of tho disease in England in 1769, and in Scotland in 1770 cost the Treasury only about 3,000/. This favouiablo result, was duo to the circumstance that the evil was grappled with at the outset. The Government of the day was fortunate in securing the services of Dr, Layard, who had made himself practically acquainted with the nature of the cattle plague of 1745-57 as well as with the chief causes of its spread. Tor his services on this occa�sion, Dr. Layard was appointed the quot;Correspondent with Foreign Governments,quot; that, he might advise as to the best means of arresting the disease abroad and keep himself informed of its progress in the different countries of Europe. He also received a grant of 500Z. in 1772, from Parliament.

Within a year or two of this time, namely, in 1774, another partial outbreak of the plague is described as taking place in the county of Suffolk. It was dealt with in precisely the same manner, and tho total cost of exterminating the malady is said to have been not more than 2,000/.

With regard to this occurrence, it may be reason�ably doubted whether the disease was really the cattle plague. In those days, as soon as any fatal affection manifested itself among cattle, as a result of ordinary or local causes, the. cry of quot;the animals have got, the murrain quot; was raised. Veterinary surgeons are familiar with the fact that this old name for cattle affections was only a few years ago applied to almost all diseases of a fatal or malignant character affecting cattle.

At that time also it was customary for the Government to deal promptly with cattle diseases, and inquiries into the true nature of a malady were often not made until after the issuing of an Order for the slaughter of the infected animals. In this way all ordinary diseases were cut short, and even if a contagious malady broke out it had but little chance of spreading. Wo incline to the belief that not only was the disease observed in Suffolk in 1774 not the cattle plague ; but also that the maladies which showed themselves in Kent in 1781, again in Suffolk in 1799, in Orkney in 1800, and in Warwick-

CATTLE PLAGUE IN GBEAT BRITAIN.

241

shire in 180�, were only ordinary affeotious, dsponding entirely on local causes.

Subsoqucntly to thoso lt;latos no mention is made of tho cattle plague oxistinf; in England, but history is roploto with information regarding its provalonco on the continent.

From 1795 to 180O the plague prevailed very extonsivcly in tho llhiuo provinces, and in all the adjacent States. It was during this period that tho Austrian army occupied tho Rhino, and us It had to draw its supplies of cattle chietly from Hungary, then an infected country, so all tho States between Hungary and tho army, through which tho auimals travelled, became infected with (ho plague. 11 From tho Rhino the disease entered tho eastern provinces of Franco, but did not tiicu extend to any other division of the country.

By the movement of the Austrian army in 1801 to Central and Eastern Germany, tho cattle plague was carried thither, and it is a notable circunistanco that, although tho Rhine provinces wore shortly afterwards occupied by tho French troops the disease did not attack the cattle of the Commissariat, which doubtless depended oa tho supply being drawn from uncontaini-nated sources. Nothing indeed can show bettor tlio exotic nature of cattle plague than the fact that from 1801 to 1813 the whole of France continued free from the disease. Her army, however, which was following up its victories in Germany, suffered occasionally, and more especially when coining in contact with tho troops of Russia, Austria, or Prussia, or when it captured tho cattle supply of their Commissariat. The tide of war ultimately turning, tho allied forces entered France, carrying with them tho cattle plague. The disease now spread in all directions, and especially along tho route of tho army. The losses in Germany and Switzerland proved enormous. It is said that the money value of tho cattle which were swept away in France alone, from 1813 to 1815, amounted to between four hundred and five hundred nnlliouB of francs.

The battle of Waterloo, bringing with it the peace of Europe, inaugurated also the means of extermi�nating the cattle plague. Sanitary regulations were now adopted, and, being rigorously enforced, the disease soon disappeared from the whole of Western and Central Europe. For a period of fifty years, down to 1865, these parts of the continent remained free of the plague. In the latter-named year, however, tho disease, having been first imported into England, again reached Holland, and soon afterwards it ap�peared in Belgium, and also in Franco.

A parallel to this long exemption from cattle plague is to be found in our own country, which, until the outbreak of 18��, had been free of the disease during the whole of the present century, and very probably also ever since 1770, thereby affording additional proof that tho malady does not arise from any combination of ordinary causes. Eastern Europe, however, during this period, often suffered from the disease. Doubtless the long existing peace of Europe, as a whole, mainly contributed to confine the cattle plague to tho East; but physical difficulties also tended to the same end, for until tho introduction of the railway system, cattle could not bo brought in numbers or with facility into Central and Western Europe from plague infected countries.

In Southern Russia the plague has an abiding resi�dence, from which war and commerce, each in its turn, gives facilities for its spread. Although fre�quently suffering from the plague, neither Prussia, Poland, Galicia, Austria, nor Hungary are tho homo of the disease. Indeed, recent investigations have shown that the malady is not indigenous even to Buckowina, Translyvania, Bosnia, or Servin, and that its appearance in any of these countries is invariably duo to its importation. The disease, in fact, belongs to the southern Steppes of Russia, and especially to the valleys of the Dneister, Dneiper, Bug, and the Pruth, and also to the Lower Danube.

Ordinary traffic in cattle, ns well as the require�ments of commerce, often load, to outbreaks of tho disease in tho countries which border on the Steppes.

Upwards of a hundred thousand oxen are said to bo employed in yearly convoying salt from Lower Bessarabia to Podolia and Volliynia, and in taking back corn to Odessa. The plague frequently mani�fests itself among theso cattle ; a fact which at ono timo was supposed to bo due to the exertion tho animals had to undergo, and the privations to which they were exposed. Investigations, however, havo disproved this opinion, and shown that the animals receive the disease by travelling tho same roads, and occupying tho same resting places which the cattle do that are gathered together in the infected districts, and sent onwards, as food supplies, to other parts of Russia, as well as to Galicia, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, amp;c. On the breaking out of tho disease in these routes, which is of frequent occur�rence, tho means of destroying the germs of tho malady and purifying the stables arc totally insullicicnt, so that an extension of the disease cannot be a matter of surprise. Six millions of cattle are said to be annually raised in Southern Russia ; principally for expor�tation. Of these, Austria and her states receive something like 150,000, and surrounding countries in like proportion.

Ordinary cattle traffic is thus a fruitful means of spreading the plague ; but when tho necessities of war call for still larger supplies to be drawn from tho Steppes, the danger is increased ten-fold. Thus, during the Rnsso-Turkish war in 1827-28, it it recorded that the Steppe cattle which wore broughs together for the use of tho army, took tho plague with them, and that no less than 30,000 animallaquo; perished in Hungary, 12,000 in Galicia, and 9,000 in Moravia, besides tons of thousands in adjacent states.

Again, in 1831-32, and -33, the Polish Insur�rection led to the disease committing immense de�struction among the cattle in that country. During this outbreak the disease penetrated as far northward as Courland. It also crossed tho Prussian frontier, from out of Poland, and although very quickly ox-terminated, it destroyed upwards of a thousand animals in the department of Bromberg.

In 1835 Moravia and Hungary sustained severe losses, and in 1836 Lower Austria was also visited. On this occasion the plague extended to Bosnia and Dalmatia, and from Dahnatia in 1837 it was conveyed to Southern Italy by some cattle exported to Barletta, in the Neapolitan Kingdom. Among other animals many buffaloes were also attacked with the disease in the neighbourhood of Foggia.

In 1840 Moldavia and Wnllachia again suffered severely, and it is another notable circumstance in the history of the cattle plague that on this occasion the disease was conveyed into Asia Minor and thonco to Egypt. To meet the requirements of the improved and altered condition of Egypt, the Viceroy, his son Ibrahim, and other large proprietors of the soil, sent agents into Anatolia and Karamauia to pur�chase cattle. The supplies were drawn not only from theso provinces, but even from the distant ones of Roumania and Moldavia, and large droves were brought together for export at Adana, Tarsous, and Kazalu in Asia Minor. Before the animals were embarked, the plague made its appearance among them, but tho nature of the disease was concealed, and the infected cattle were shipped for Alexandria. A large number of thorn died on (he passage across the Mediterranean and were thrown overheard. When tho rest of the animals were landed at Alex�andria the disease was still going on rapidly among them, and with a view to an improvement of (heir health they wore dispersed in small quantities through�out the adjacent district. In this way (he plague was communicated to the native Egyptian cattle, which, together with a neglect of all the means necessary to arrest the progress of (ho disease, soon led to its spread throughout tho country. Indeed, before it was suppressed, (he plague had made i(s way into Lower Egypt, as far as the Delta, and had even penetrated into some parts of Upper Egypt. The losses were enormous ; the animals being carried off by tens of thousands.

Thia outbi'Oftk is nlso important as showing that tho cattlo of a country, even like Egypt, uro not iiff�ctcd with the plague unless the conUigium bo imported,� no matter how numerous and patent the ordinary cuuses of disease may be. Tho cattle of Egypt are poor, and altogether insufficient in numbers to supply the wants of the country. To meet this necessity, Inrgo importations are continuously being made. Convoys of cattlo, frequently to the extent of 1,500 or 2,000 head, are brought to Cairo from great dis�tances ; some coming even from Nubia. Tho privations to which these animals are exposed on tho journey are very groat, and tho losses are neces�sarily considerable. Often a third or more of the convoy is loft dead on ' tho road from dysentery and other allied diseases; but, notwithstanding this, neither cattle plague nor any other allied contagious disease ever breaks out among the animals. Egypt, indeed, is among the countries of Asia, which are unaiFectcd

' conclusion. A report was accordingly sent to tho ' Government, setting forth that the malady was not ' exclusively contagious, that it could rise sponta-' neously amongst tho horned cattlo of a country by ' other influences than those of contagion, and that ¹¹ the moans which tho Government had adopted ^ere quot; not only useless but vexatious. As tho faculty had quot; great authority in all sanitary matters, the Govern-quot; ment, although it did not outivoly remove the re-quot; strietivo measures, still did not enforce them with quot; its usual rigour, tho result of which was that in a quot; few weeks the malady had extended into several quot; other circles of tho kingdom, committing such quot; dreadful ravages, that tho Austrian Government quot; took alarm, and forthwith sent M. Eckel, Director quot; of the Imperial Veterinary Institute, into Bohemia. quot; He at once found that the disease was true rinder-quot; j)est, and recommended tho rigorous enforcement quot; of the former measures, the result of which was quot; that in about six weeks or two months the malady quot; had entirely disappeared in tho Kingdom of quot; Bohemia.quot;

In tho winter of 1848 the cattle plague again extended from the Russian Steppes into Podolia and Volhynia, and by the early part of 1849 it had pene�trated into Galicia and Poland. In this year Austria and Hungary were once more invaded by the pest; the disease being introduced into Hungary by the passage of the Russian troops from quot;Wallachia by way of Translyvania. It was not until 1851 that Austria was again free of the disease.

In 1853-54 the plague was once more widely dif�fused in Eastern Europe, owing to the occupation of the Danubian Principalities by Russian troops. Shortly after the commencement of the Crimean War alarming reports reached this country and France of the losses which the United army was sustaining by a malignant cattle disease. An inquiry was set on foot which, among other things, led to the following circular being addressed to the veterinary surgeons attached to the British portion of the army.

quot; Royal Veterinary College, quot; My dear sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; December, 1854.

quot; I have no doubt that you will readily comply quot; with the request I am about to make, and I feel quot; assured that you will as kindly excuse my troubling quot; you with this communication.

quot; In my capacity of Veterinary Inspector to the quot; Royal Agricultural Society, and Professor of Cattle quot; Pathology in this institution, I have been requested quot; by the Government of France, through its Consul-quot; Gineral. M. Herbet, resident in London, to assist quot; in an inquiry into the causes which influence the quot; production and extension of a disease now existing quot; among the cattle in Turkey, known as ' contagious quot; typhus,' which we are informed is destroying quot; vast numbers of the animals exported to the quot; Crimea.

quot; I need scarcely say that toe are equally as solicitous quot; as the French Government to adopt measures to '* save to our brave army this essential portion of quot; their food, and we feel that no time should be lost quot; in the adoption of means calculated to effect this quot; all-important object.

quot; You will therefore much oblige me by answering quot; the annexed queries as fully as circumstances will quot; permit, and returning the paper to mc at your quot; earliest convenience,

quot; Trusting that, amidst the trying circumstances quot; in which you are placed, health and life will bo quot; mercifully spared to you,

with cattle plague, excepting when the malady is imported from Europe.

Passing from 1840 wo come to 1844, at which time Poland, Galicia, Hungary, Austria, Moravia, Silesia, and Bohemia were again invaded by the pest. The disease was first introduced into Galicia in the autumn of the year from Southern Russia, and was afterwards widely spread, by means of a cattlo fair held at Olmiitz, in Moravia. Large numbers of cattle were brought together at the fair, and these being distributed throughout the adjacent countries, carried the plague with them. The disease on this occasion spread with incredible rapidity, and it is re�corded that Russia alone lost no less than 1,000,000

cattle.

A circumstance occurred in connexion with this out�break which it is necessary to advert to, as disprov�ing one of the views whicli lias been taken of the pathology of cattle plague. It was supposed by some persons, and chiefly by medical students in Bohemia, that the measures adopted in that country, in order to free itself from the cattle plague, were far more severe than required ; indeed that they were absolutely unne�cessary. Those gentlemen made m\(xamp;\ post-mortem examinations of infected animals, and came to the conclusion that the malady was of the nature of typhus,�or, as they were pleased to call it, quot; typhus ahdominalis.quot; They were further of opinion that it depended on ordinary causes only for its origin and spread, and that if its pathology were thoroughly investigated the disease would be found to yield to curative measures. In the report on tho cattle plague presented to the Royal Agricultural Society, this cir�cumstance is thus alluded to:�

quot; Towards the end of 1844, the rinderpest, which quot; had prevailed among the cattle in Galicia, passed quot; through Moravia, and made its appearance in quot; Bohemia, in the circle of Koniggriitz. The malady quot; had already made some progress in the district, quot; when M. Verncr, Chief of the Veterinary Depart-quot; inent of Bohemia, was sent from Prague by the quot; Government to inquire into the precise nature of laquo; tho affection. This gentleman, who had had many quot; opportunities of seeing the rinderpest, experienced quot; no difficulty in recognizing this disease in the malady quot; in question ; and with a view to arrest its further quot; progress he recommended to the superior autlio-quot; ritios the adoption of those measures which cx-quot; perience had shown to be best calculated, not only quot; for this purpose, but to cause its quick extermination, quot; namely, to slaughter the sick animals, isolate those quot; which had been exposed to the contagion, and quot; establish a cordon around the infected places. quot; These measures were put in force at once, and quot; soon had the effect of arresting the progress of

laquo; the malady, when some young physicians, who had quot; had an opportunity of making, for their instruction, quot; several post-mortem examinations of infected cattle, quot; thought that they recognized in the disease an quot; analogy to that of the typhus ahdominalis of man. laquo; They therefore communicated their opinion to some quot; members of the faculty of medicine at Prague, who, quot; after making several autopsies, came to the same

The replies which were received were but few, and with one or two exceptions the writers failed to answer many of the questions, so that comparatively little information was obtained. It is now, however, well known that the plague prevailed to greater or less extent among the cattle during the whole time the troops were actively engaged, and that whenever they succeeded in capturing the Russian commissariat, the fatality became far more serious. The full extent of the loss, however, was not ascertained. It has never�theless been affirmed that the French army lost 8,000 beasts out of 17,500 in the space of nine months, and that our army lost 4,000 out of 10,000 in the same space of time.

In 1855 the cattle plague spread northward from the

Danubian Principalities to Galieia, Poland, Lithmmin, and Prussia, and southward to Turkey and Asia Minor. Mr. Hudcliffe, M.U.C.S., who at the time held n commission in the Ottoman army, reports that while ho was stationed at Sinope the disease was de�veloped towards the termination of the spring or in the early part of the summer of 1855, reaching its acme in the month of June. Scattered cases oc�curred, however, from time to time until Novem�ber, when about the second week the disease broke out again with great severity, and spread rapidly among the cattle of the depot, and also of the town. It declined in December, and ceased entirely in January 1856.

Mr. T. W. Mayer, M.E.C.V.S., who was attached to the Land Transport Corps, likewise says of the out�break, that quot; about the latter end of August reports reached us that a dreadful murrain (every epizootic in Turkey amongst cattle is called by this name) was destroying immense numbers of cattle in Asiatic Turkey. By degrees wo heard of its nearer ap�proach, and as it was just at this time that wu wore quot; purchasing bullocks, and knowing that they had been quot; driven some 60O miles from the interior, we became quot; doubly cautious in our dealings. The French, who quot; were also purchasing about the same time as ourselves, quot; and whose camp was a few miles from ours, first quot; received the contagion. I was very suspicious about quot; a lot which we bought the week following, and quot; which I wished consequently to have rejected ; but quot; we were obliged to have them, and in a few weeks quot; the disease made its appearance in our camp also. quot; quot; The cattle in which the disease first commenced quot; had during their journey suffered much both from quot; want of food and water. They came at once to a quot; liberal allowance of barley and cut straw, the former quot; of which we had no means of steeping for them. quot; Every day they were driven a few miles on the quot; hills to pasture. On their return one evening I quot; was informed by the superintendent in charge, that quot; one bullock had dropped dead on the road, and that quot; another had fallen since their return, and that he quot; did not think it could live many minutes. 1 hastened quot; to the camp, and found the animal in articulo quot; mortis; the limbs were rigid, the eyes sunk in the quot; head, breathing scarcely perceptible, pulsation im-quot; perceptible, faeces thin, and of a light, dirty colour, quot; and mixed with a considerable quantity of blood, quot; having also a very offensive odour. I at once per-quot; ceived that I had to deal with a disease of no quot; ordinary character, but unfortunately I had to quot; proceed the very next morning, at half-past live, quot; to Constantinople, to purchase horses. As I was quot; likely to be detained several days I requested the quot; late Mr. Scott, M.R.C.V.S., to attend to anything quot; which might arise during my absence ; and J iike-quot; wise ordered the quarter-master of the division to quot; have the whole stock carefully inspected with a quot; view to the separation of any animal that appeared quot; to be unwell, and on no account to allow them to quot; be driven with the others to the hills, or even far quot; from the camp. On my return three days af'tcr-quot; wards, I found that seven others had died, and that quot; several more were affected with the disease. Uiuler quot; these circumstances I proceeded to inspect the quot; entire herd, and to make a post-mortem examination quot; of one that had only expired a short time previous quot; to my return.

quot; Having effected nn arrangement by which a quot; separation was made between the bullocks that, quot; appeared healthy, and those that might be suspected quot; as being diseased, 1 proceeded carefully to examine quot; the whole number, and withdrew about 20, labouring quot; under the following symptoms :�An uneasy and quot; restless look about the eye ; muzzle dry; grating of quot; the teeth; staring coat; pulse slightly Accelerated nnd quot; wiry; respiration regular; appetite Indiftbrent) freccs quot; scanty, constipated, and covered thickly with nmcus. quot; Before some of these animals could bo removed quot; to the portion of ground set apart for them, they quot; were seized with trembling, and spasmodic twitchings quot; of the muscles of the extremities, and then fell

quot; down, with head stretched out, ns if in tlio agonies laquo; of deiith. In this state a copious nlvino evacuation, quot; of a thin, dirty gmy colour, mingled with blood, quot; and very oll'cnsive, took place. Thou came reaction, quot; with restored animation. Soon, however, this was quot; siu'.coedod by another attack (those attacks wo sub-quot; sequently fennel came on at certain periods), until quot; nothing but blood was voided, The attacks quot; frequently lasted at first only three or four hours, quot; sometimes less, when death took place. On making quot; a post-mortem examination of the bullock already quot; dead, the following appearances presented themlaquo; quot; solves:�On opening the abdomen, the first and quot; second stomachs were found much distended with quot; undigested food. The manyplus was firmly im-quot; paeted with undigested matter, which was firm and quot; dry. The abomasum was almost empty, containing quot; only a dirty coloured liquid, similar to the evaeua-quot; tions, amongst which was a considerable quantity quot; of blood. The whole of the villous membrane was quot; in a high stale of inflammation. This was con-quot; tinned all along the small and large intestines, which quot; contained only a similar fluid, mixed with mucus quot; and blood. The liver was much engorged with quot; blood, and the gall-bladder enormously distended quot; with bile. The kidneys were healthy. The con-quot; tents of the thorax do not call for any special quot; remark, the appearances being such as usually quot; present themselves when an animal has died from quot; exhaustion. The vessels of the brain were injected, quot; and a small quantity of serum was effused into the quot; third ventricle of the cerebrum.

quot; It thus became evident that the disease was one quot; affecting the digestive organs, much gastric irrita-quot; tion and fever being present ; that it rapidly assumed quot; a dysenteric character, and was accompanied with quot; great sensorial derangement. Subsequent ex-quot; perience enabled nie to confirm this opinion. In quot; many extreme cases, vomiting took place, and the quot; disease assumed the nearest approach to Asiatic quot; cholera I have ever yet seen in animals.quot;

The extension of the cattle plague in 1855 towards the Prussian frontier created groat alarm for fear of its entrance into that kingdom, to prevent which the government forbade the importation of cattle, skins, amp;c., and sent, detachments of troops to the places of im�port below Thorn, with a view of cutting off communi�cation with the infected localities. As early as the month of March means were also taken in the province of Posen for closing the frontier against cattle, sheep, swine, and goats. These restrictions were continued throughout the summer and down to October, when it became necessary to adopt even more severe measures. Among other things, veterinary surgeons, specially appointed for the purpose, wore ordered to inspect all the catlle in the Polish villages within a distance of three .miles of the Prussian frontier. On this being completed the existence of the disease within two miles and a half of the frontier was reported, and the government at once adopted the most stringent means to prevent its entrance. Among other precautions, circulars were issued describing the symptoms of the plague, entile markets were suppressed, disinfection of persons coming from Poland at the frontier custom houses was adopted, gendarmes were placed in the villages adjacent to the frontier, charged with power to enforce the laws applicable to the cattle plague should the disease manifest Itself, and veterinary surgeons were appointed to keep under surveillance the whole of the animals of the district.

Nothwithstanding these precautions, (be plague crossed the frontier in the latter part of November 18.30, first showing itself in the circle of Inowraclaw, and shortly afterwards in the circle Gnescn near to Posen. The ollicial report states that general measures were immediately taken for closing the boundaries of (he infected places, and special ones for the infected farms by meanraquo; of sentries posted under the superintendence of gendarmes. Quarantine stables were established, and superintendents and cuttle inspectors appointed, who were provided with written instructions, and bound by oath to their observance.

All trade in cattle was forbidden within a circuit of three miles. All dogs were chained up; and every proprietor of cattle within a circuit of two miles from the infected place was bound, upon pnin of incurring the penalty of section 309 of the Cri-rainal Law, to give immediate notice of any symptoms of disease of any kind among his cattle to the Mayor of the place, who had forthwith to inform the Councillor of administration of the district, by an express messenger, of the nature of the dis�ease, provided it did not proceed from external injuries.

Cattle dying of the plague, or killed in conse�quence of exposure to the infection, were ordered to have their skins slashed, and to be buried in pits from six to eight feet deep, and the carcase covered with quick lime. The adoption of these measures soon led to a subsidence of the disease, but fresh outbreaks continuing to occur from time to time, tho province of Posen was not entirely free of tho plague until the beginning of 1856.

Early also in the same year the disease broke out in tho department of Breslau, province of Silesia. Tho official report states that quot; for forty years this quot; province had not been infected, and that all means of quot; ascertaining how the plague had now been introduced quot; failed.quot; The true nature of the disease, it seems, was not recognized until tho malady had made considerable progress, which, together with the difficulties that were experienced in the adoption of the sanitary regu�lations, and the want of zeal on the part of the people in giving effect to them, led to its continuance for upwards of six months. In the month of November, however, tho disease was exterminated, and the province remained free until March 1857, when the plague was reintrodnced by some cattle which came from Galicia. The malady, however, on this occasion was quickly got rid of.

As has been previously explained, tho plague ex�tended still further northward, and during 1856 Lithuania, Kovno, and Courland became affected. Details of the losses are wanting, but it is affirmed that about 2,000 animals were destroyed in Courland alono during September 1856. The nearness of the disease to the Prussian department of K�nigsberg led to the importation of cattle, skins, bones, hair, and allied materials being strictly prohibited from Russia into East Prussia. Cases soon occurred very near to the frontier, when more stringent measures were adopted. In August 1856 the driving of cattle along the right bank of the Niemen was interdicted. Persons having to do with cattle were not allowed to cross from Russia into Prussia, or if crossing they had to undergo quarantine. Mail passengers were fumigated, cattle and horse fairs suppressed, and as much of the traffic suspended between the countries as circumstances would permit. These means were effectual in preserving East Prussia from the intro�duction of the plague until April 1857, when it crossed the frontier, and attacked the cattle in two villages. The loss was not great as the disease was immediately exterminated, by killing and burying all the cattle in the villages, whether infected or not.

These particulars show not only the wide diffusion of the plague in Eastern Europe and Russia during 1855, 1856, and 1857, but likewise that in these years the malady penetrated into Prussia, and gained a fool�ing in three different places of the kingdom far re�moved from each other, viz., in the provinces of Posen and Silesia, and also in the department of K�nigsberg, East Prussia.

While these things were passing on the continent, great interest was excited at home by the rumours of the approach of the cuttle plague towards Hamburgh and other places of export of cattle to England. It was said that tho disease had even reached Mecklenburg, and that it had gained a footing also in several places in Germany. In a despatch dated May 17th, 1856, Mr. Blackwell, Vice-Consul at L�beck, informed Her Majesty's government, through the Consul-General at Hamburg, that a contagious pulmonary disease or murrain had brokeu

out among tho cattle in Mecklenburg! and after giving tho partionlara of the prccautionaiy mea�sures adopted by the L�beck authorities to pre�vent its entranoo into their territory, Mr. Blaokwell

states tliat lio had consulted several of tho host Gennau author.s on the contagious maladies of cattle, und found that they made a distinction between quot;rinderpest und pulmonuri/ murrainquot; but lie adds, quot; both are equally contagious and almost equally quot; fatal, and in a sanitary point of view may in fact quot; bo regarded as identical.quot;

In his despatch of May JiOth, Mr. Blaokwell gives an epitome of the works alluded to, and then, under the heading of the Steppe murrain, he says, that quot; it has been calculated that during the last century quot; alone this disease had destroyed 28,000,000 of quot; cattle in Germany : und in the #9632;whole of Europe, quot; including Russia, but exclusive of Siberia and laquo; Tartary, upwards of 200,000,000 ; and that although quot; the disease which has broken out among the horned quot; cattle in Mecklenburg seems to be regarded as the quot; pulmonary murrain, it may perhaps be tho real quot; Steppe murrain, which is now raging Jin Poland quot; to a fearful extent, notwithstanding the stringent quot; measures that have been adopted by the Russian quot; government for putting a stop to it.quot;

In a third despatch, dated September 17th, 1850, the same gentleman reports that the nuirraiu had ex�tended to Holstein, and that in consequence of this the regulations of tho L�beck government-Avore en�forced with regard to that duchy as well as Mecklen�burg. He concludes his communication by observing that, quot; as this highly contagious murrain lisis spread quot; from the Steppes of South Russia, through Poland, quot; Prussia, and Mecklenburg, to Holstein, to a district quot; from which the English market is supplied with quot; cattle, I must beg leave to call the attention of Her quot; Majesty's government to my report of its origin, quot; progress, treatment, symptoms, amp;c., transmitted on quot; the 30th of May last.quot;

These despatches excited the liveliest interest, and Her]Majesty's government at once gave directions which led the Commissioners of customs to publish an Order bearing date December 24th, 1856, requiring quot; a more quot; rigid examination by tho inspectors of foreign cattle, quot; with special reference to a contagious disease called quot; 'murrain,' which has recently broken out amonst quot; tho horned cattle of Mecklenburg.quot; Count Biilow, minister to tho Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin however, complained of this Order to Lord Blomfiekl, Her Majesty's ambassador to the Court of Prussia, and requested that the attention of the Home Government might be directed to it. Thereupon Lord Blomfield wrote to Lord Clarendon to the following effect:�

laquo; My Lord,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; Berlin, January 23rd, 1857.

quot; I have the honour to enclose to your Loi'd-quot; ship herewith, a copy of a communieatiou which I quot; have received from Count Biilow, Minister to His quot; Royal Highness the (band Duke of Mecklenburg-quot; Schwerin, requesting me to draw the attention of quot; Her Majesty's Government to the injurious effects quot; which the publication of the Custom House quot; Order, published ill London, 24tli December 1850, quot; respecting the importation of cattle alleged to be quot; diseased from the Mecklenburgh States, is likely quot; to have on die commerce of the country. Count quot; Biilow states that the cattle murrain alluded to in quot; this Order as now existing in Mecklenburg has quot; only manifested itself twice, for a short period in quot; 1855 and 1856, and that in each case measures of '�' such a stringent nature were taken as eifectually quot; arrested the spreading of tho disease, insomuch that quot; since the Ist of October last all the measures of quot; precaution that were in force for its prevention quot; have been suspended by the official order to this quot; effect) a copy of which Count Biilow has trans-quot; mitled to me, and which, in original and translation, quot; I have the honour to forward herewith to your quot; Lordship.

quot; I have, amp;c.; (Signed) quot; Blomfield.quot;

The doubt thus created as to tho disease being the cattle plague, was strengthened by a critical examination of the offloial despatches and also by private inquiries. Tho evidence, however, being conflicting, tho expression of this opinion did not materially tend to calm tho public mind. In one of the despatches it was said that quot; the murrain quot; was rapidly making its way westward from the quot; countries where it had been tirst observed, and quot; that ere long it would be introduced here, unless quot; the greatest caution was exercised in regulating quot; our supply of foreign cattle, and that oven then quot; it was more than probable the disease would come quot; in, for experience had proved that it could bo quot; carried from place to place by skins, hoofs, or quot; horns, or indeed by anything which had been quot; exposed to tho infection by being brought near quot; to tho diseased animals.quot;

At this juncture the Council of the Royal Agri�cultural Society felt that a decisive step should be taken to ascertuin the correctness of these statements, by sending a commission to tbe continent. Communi�cations for this'purpose, and asking for co-operation, were made to the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and to the Royal Agricultural Improve�ment Society of Ireland At a meeting of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society, held April 1st, 1857, replies were read from the Highland and the Irish Societies, expressing their willingness to join tbe Royal Agricultural Society quot; in making quot; arrangements for despatching a veterinary inspector quot; to the districts abroad whore the cattle murrain quot; was at present raging.quot; Tho Council thereupon agreed to tho following resolution :�

quot; That it is expedient to send a competent veter-quot; inary professor to examine into the nature of the quot; cattle murrain on the continent. That the society quot; gladly accepts (bo co-operation of tho Highland quot; and Agricultural Society of Scotland and the Royal quot; Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland in quot; this step. The society ventures to recommend that quot; Professor Simonds, of the Royal Veterinary College, quot; bo commissioned to this task. That he bo em-quot; powered to take with him a German veterinary quot; surgeon, established in London, quite competent quot; for the business, and who would smooth the difli-quot; cultics of tbe German language. It is supposed quot; that about three weeks would be required for a quot; satisfactory examination, That the Highland and quot; Agricultural Society of Scotland be informed that quot; the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of quot; Ireland propose to share tbe expense of this mission quot; with the Royal Agricultural Society of England, quot; and that they bo asked to join in the same quot; manner.quot;

On the government being informed of tho step about to be taken, the subjoined letter of introduction to British Consuls abroad was forwarded, through tho Secretary of tbe Agricultural Society, to Professor Simonds :�

quot; Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Foreign Odicc, April 4, 1857.

quot;I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to quot; acquaint you, that (ho Council of tho Royal Agri-quot; cultural Society of this country have notified to his quot; Lordship their intention, in conjunction with the quot; Agricultural Societies of Scotland and Ireland, to quot; send a Veterinary Professor to the districts abroad quot; where the disease among cattle is at present raging, quot; and that the committee have selected Professor quot; Simonds for this service. I am, therefore, to quot; instruct you, in the event of Professor Simonds quot; visiting any part of your district in the course of quot; his mission, to show him every attention, and to quot; afford him all the assistance in your power in quot; carrying out the objects of the societies by whom quot; he was appointed.

An Order in Council, bearing date April 2, 1857, wns also issued. It sot forth that quot; Her Majesty, by quot; and with tho laquo;dvico of Her Privy Council, doth quot; order and it is hereby ordered, that from and after quot; tho date hereof no cattle, and no horns, hoofraquo;, or quot; raw or wet hides, or skins of cattle, shall be im-quot; ported or introduced into the United Kingdom which quot; �shall come from or shall have boon at any place quot; within those territories of tho Emperor of Russia, quot; or of the King of Prussia, or of the Grand Duke quot; of Mocklonburgh-Sohwerin, which respectively are quot; in or border upon the Gulf of Finland, or any other quot; part of the Baltic Sea between the Gulf of Finland quot; und tho territories of the free city of L�beck, or quot; which shall come from or shall have been at any quot; place within the territories of tho free city of quot; L�beck ; and also that from and after the date quot; hereof no cattle, and no horns, hoofs, or raw or quot; wet hides, or skins of cattle, shall bo imported or quot; introduced into tho United Kingdom which shall bo quot; or shall have been on board any vessels at the same quot; time with any cattle or horns, hoofs, or raw or wet quot; hides or skins of cattle, which shall have come from quot; or shall have been at any such place as aforesaid.quot;

quot; And Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her quot; Privy Council, doth hereby further order, that all quot; cattle, and all horns, hoofs, and raw or wet hides, quot; or skins of cattle, the importation or introduction quot; whereof is so hereby prohibited as aforesaid, and also quot; all hay, straw, fodder, litter, or manure, being or quot; having been in or on board any vessels at the same quot; time with any such cattle, or horns, hoofs, or raw or quot; wet hides, or skins of cattle, as aforesaid, shall, upon quot; their arrival in this country, be destroyed, orother-quot; wise disposed of as the Commissioners of Her quot; Majesty's Customs may direct.quot;

(Signed) quot; C. C. Greville.quot;

Agreeably with the resolution of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society, arrangements were made with Mr. W. Ernes, M.R.C.V.S., a native of Germany resident in London, to accompany Professor Simonds. The preliminaries being completed, the Commission left England for Belgium on April 9th, having first in view the pressing necessity of ascertaining from what countries cattle were drawn together to the several places of export to England. The state of the health of the cattle was also investigated as quickly as pos�sible, in Belgium, Holland, quot;Westphalia, Hanover, Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, and Mecklenburgh-Schwerin, and Strolitz. The Commission found these countries to be perfectly free from cattle plague, and that they had been so for upwards of 40 years, and further that the so-called murrain, tho introduction of which into England had been so much feared, was in reality the disease known as pleuro-pneumonia. On reaching Prussia it was ascertained, that although the cattle plague had made its way from tho Steppes into that country on the several occasions to which refer�ence has already been made, there were now no reasons for believing the disease to be present in any part of the Prussian dominions.

The vigilance shown by Prussia in exterminating tho plague in 1855-6 may be justly regarded as tho chief moans by which Western Europe and probably England also, was spared an outbreak of the disease, for it is much to bo feared that had tho plague attacked the cattle in Germany, the Order in Council would have been of little avail in preventing its introduction here. Cattle from Mecklonburgh and Central Germany were brought then as now by rail�way to Hamburgh, for exportation to England, and neither this port nor that of Bremen was closed by the Order.

On the 27th of August the Order of April 2d was revoked, so for as it affected cattle, but the re�strictions were nmiiilained on horns, hoofs, raw or wet hides, or raquo;kins of cattle. Bones also were added to the list of prohibited artioles. This Order of Au�gust continued in force until November 4, 1857, when it too was revoked.

Tho non-existence of the cattle plague in WoHtorn nd Central Europe necessitated the Commission to visit Galicia. Hero the disease was met with, and the Commission had every opportunity through tho assistance afforded by the Austrian authorities, of becoming practically aoquakted with its several features, and of the laws which govern its spread.

Tho district visited was reported as having been free from tho cattle plague sinco 1846. Tho existing outbreak took place in tho month of March, 1857, in the village of Zabrzez, and was due to the introduc�tion of ton Steppe oxon which had been purchased at a cattle fair held at Jaczmirz, in tho Lcmborg division of Galicia. The report of the Commission to the So�cieties states that quot; these oxen came with large droves from quot; Bessarabia, and that from three to four thou-quot; sand were brought together at the fair.quot; The fol�lowing particulars of tho outbreaks are also added:� quot;Jaczmirz is about twenty German miles from quot; Zabrzez, and three full days were occupied in quot; driving tho animals to the latter-named place. quot; They were bought by M. Berl Krumholz, farmer quot; and distiller, and arrived at the farm on the 15th of quot; March, and, after remaining a few hours, were sent quot; on to the village of Kamienica, where the distillery quot; is situated. The Steppe cattle were here put with quot; fourteen fat oxen, but, in consequence of these ani-quot; mals being sold two days afterwards|for slaughtering, quot; the steppe cattle were returned to Zabrzez on the quot; 18th. Here they were placed in a stable by them-quot; selves, and stood there until the 20th, when four of quot; them were a second time sent to Kamienica, with quot; ten head of young stock, and on their arrival were quot; placed with twenty-one others.

quot; On the following day, the 21st, the six Steppe quot; oxen, left at Zabrzez, were observed to be trem-quot; bling, which being supposed to depend on expo-quot; sure to cold, they wore put into a shed, in quot; which were eighteen other animals, consisting of quot; some young bulls, cows, and two calves. On the quot; 22nd, the four Steppe oxon at Kamienica were quot; likewise noticed to be unwell and trembling, and, quot; tho true nature of their illness being now sus-quot; pected, they were immediately removed from the quot; other stock, and orders were sent to Zabrzez for quot; the six to bo also taken away and kept by them-quot; selves.

quot; As a further security to the stock at Kamienica, quot; early the next morning the four Steppe oxen were quot; sent back to the farm at Zabrzez. Notwithstanding quot; these precautions, the disease broke out among the quot; young cattle on the 30tb, and eight of them died quot; on the first day, and by April 3rd, thirty-one in quot; all were dead. Besides these animals M. Berl quot; Krumholz had ton others at Kamienica, which quot; tho authorities decided upon killing at once, so that quot; ho might receive something towards his loss. Thus quot; it appears that the entire number lost at Kamienica quot; was forty-one animals, and that had it not boon for quot; the selling of the fourteen fat oxen, they also in quot; all probability would have been sacrificed to tho quot; disease.

quot; On the same day that tho post manifested itself * at Kamienica, it also broke out at Zabrzez among quot; tho eighteen animals with which the Steppe oxen quot; were placed on the 21st March. Of the entire quot; twenty-eight animals located here, including the quot; ton Steppe cattle, thirteen died, cloven were killed, quot; three recovered, and one resisted tho infection en-quot; tirely. The throe animalraquo; which recovered, and quot; tho one which escaped the attack, were Steppe oxen. quot; The establishment, however, of the cordon eon-quot; fined the disease entirely to this farm, although quot; there were in the village altogether 453 head of quot; cattle, the greater part of which were very poor and quot; weak animals, badly fed and badly provided for.

quot; The progress of tho disease at Zabrzez was rather quot; singular�thus, eleven of the thil'toeu deathraquo; bad quot; occurred by tho end of the third clay of the outlaquo; ^lt;v break, every animal dying which up to that time quot; had shown symptoms of the disease. On t)io quot; ninth doy subsequent to the death of these cattle

quot; anolhcr auininl Blckcnod and diod, and on the fourlaquo;

quot; tecnth day aller its attack a second, and in twelve quot; days more a third was taken ill, mmicly, a young-quot; bull, whoso caso will bo hereaftoi' recorded in full, quot; as coming under our own (the Commissioners) im-quot; mediate investigation.quot;

In this case it will bo observed that the animal resisted infection, although daily exposed to it for upwards of a month.

quot; Notwithstanding,quot; continues the report, quot;the quot; adoption of similar precautions at Kamionica as quot; at Zabrzez, the disease reached the village cattle, quot; but was fortunately prevented making much havoc quot; among them. The ultimate result of the outbreak quot; was that, out of 433 cattle kept in the village, quot; sixty-five were attacked, of which thirty-seven quot; diod, and twenty-eight wore slaughtered.

quot; As a warning to surrounding places, notice-quot; boards wore erected at the different entrances into quot; the village, sotting forth, by their Polish and Ger-laquo; man inscriptions of 'Zabaza. na laquo;ydlo kooate,' quot; and ' HonN-viEii Seuche,' the existence of the quot; pest. Each fresh place of outbreak was also at quot; once surrounded by a military cordon, and all com-quot; munication with other occupations effectually cut off.

quot; Besides Zabrzez and Kamienica, two other ad-quot; jacent villages in tho circle of Ki-oscienko were the quot; seat of the pest, namely Tilka and Szczawnica. quot; The total number of cattle kept in tho former was quot; seventy-eight, out of which eleven were attacked, quot; and of these ten died, and one was slaughtered. quot; In the latter place, 490 were kept, and thirty-four quot; became the subjects of the malady, and of these quot; twenty-five died, four were slaughtered, and five quot; recovered. It was ascertained that the outbreak quot; in both these instances depended upon the intro-quot; duction of six Steppe oxen, bought at tho same fair.

quot; In Kamienica two temporary quarantine stations quot; were erected on some waste ground at a short quot; distance from the village. In one of these seven quot; animals were placed, and in the other nine. Two quot; days before we (the Commission) arrived at Kami-quot; enica, a case of plague had occuned in the station quot; in which the seven animals wore detained, and more quot; were daily looked for. At the first visit to these quot; stations, late in the evening of May the 4th, in quot; company with Professor Nicklas of the Munich quot; Veterinary College, we (the Commission) saw no quot; indications of disease in any of tho animals; but on quot; the second visit at 6 a.m. on the following morning quot; symptoms of the plague had declared themselves quot; in one of them�an aged cow. This case proved a quot; remarkably mild attack The details of its progress, quot; as well as of other cases, are here inserted in full.

quot; Case 1.�The Coiv.

quot; The chief indications of illness which the animal quot; exhibited, when first seen, were tremors of most of the quot; voluntary muscles of the body, but more especially quot; those of the extremities. The triceps muscles of quot; tho fore-limbs, and the glutei, vasti, and triceps in quot; particular of the hind-limbs, were most affected with quot; those tremblings, besides which a distinct spasmodic quot; jerking of their fasciculi could be detected as quot; coming on at irregular and short intervals. The quot; animal stood with her back arched and legs gathered quot; together under the body. The head was extended, quot; ears lopped, and coat staring. She was remarkably quot; dull, and greatly indisposed to move. Her appe-quot; tite was impaired, but at times she would pick a quot; little fresh grass. Uumiuation was tardily per-quot; formed ; the action of the bowels was unaffected, quot; the breathing was natural, and tho pulse almost un-quot; disturbed. Indeed, had tho morning been OA cold as quot; usual, nearly the whole of tho symptoms might have quot; been ascribed by an ordinary observer to exposure quot; to the bleak mountain air.

quot; Towards the after part of the day, the spasmodic quot; contractions of the muscles wore more marked. The quot; jerking of those situated at tho infero-latcral part of quot; the neck was veiy peculiar, imparting a movement

quot; not very dissimilar to the so-called venous pulse. quot; Tho skin was rather warmer than natural, but the quot; coat was staring, as iu tho morning. The broath-quot; ing still continuod undisturbed, but a slight and quot; thick�cough was occasionally hoard. Tho pulso quot; had risen to about 62. It was regular in its action, quot; but beat with somewhat diminished force. There quot; was no injection of tho visible mucous membranes quot; to bo observed, nor drynoss of tho muzzle, as seen in quot; active febrile diseases of cattle.

quot; The Austrian commissioners did not hesitate to quot; stato that this was a true case of tho pest, but quot; an unusually mild one; and they therefore gave quot; orders that the cow should bo taken from the quot; others, nnd placed in a separate quarantine shed, quot; temporarily erected with the branches of pine trees quot; for the purpose, so that we (the Commission) might quot; watch tho further progress of tho disease.

quot; May 6th, 7 a.m.�Tho symptoms upon tho whole quot; have undergone hut little change since last evening. quot; The animal takes but little food, and is equally quot; as dull and dispirited. She shows a disposition to quot; drink freely of water, and would take oven more quot; than it is desirable to give her.

quot; 8 p.m.�No alteration of importance. quot; 7th, 6 a.m.�A change for tho worse has come on quot; during the night. Tho prostration of strength is quot; now considerable, and tho animal is down, and un-quot; able to rise. Neither the pulse nor the breathing has, quot; however, undergone much change, the principal quot; alteration being that tho action of the heart is quot; weaker. She refuses all food. Rumination is sus-*' pended, and the bowels are rather irritable, large quot; quantities of fcoccs being voided. The twitching quot; of the muscles are yet present, but mostly confined quot; to the shoulders and neck. The cough is more quot; frequent, and a little mucous discharge comes from quot; tho nostrils. The conjunctiva is uniujectcd, but quot; the eyes are somewhat intolerant of light. Tho quot; general surface of the body is chilly, as are also the quot; legs, ears, and horns.

quot; On visiting the animal in the evening, it was quot; found that a slight, diarrhoea had set in during the quot; day. The pulse had risen to 70, and the prostration quot; of tho vital forces was increased. There were quot; however, as yet, but few indications that the attack quot; would terminate fatally.

quot; 8th.�The twitchings of the muscles aro scarcely quot; to bo observed this morning. This was described as quot; being generally the case in an advanced stage of quot; the malady. Tho diarrhoea is, however, more copious, quot; but yet not alarming ; tho pulse is quicker and quot; weaker, and only to be felt at the heart. The quot; breathing has now become increased ; but is neither quot; laboured nor difficult. The body is cold, and the quot; animal lies with a drooping head and closed eyes, quot; as in a state of drowsiness, still refusing all food, quot; but showing the same disposition to take water.

quot; The Austrian commissioners explained that they quot; considered there was no chance of the animal's quot; ultimate recovery, although the case would doubt-quot; less be a very protracted one. They also said that quot; they had decided to have tho cow killed in the aftur-quot; part of the day, if we (the Commission) had scon quot; enough of tho disease in its mitigated form that we quot; might institute a post-mortem examination. This quot; arrangement mot with concurrence, and especially quot; as other cases had occurred since this one, the pro-quot; gross of which we (tho Commission) were busily quot; engaged in watching. By it an opportunity was quot; also afforded of seeing the lesions which were early quot; produced by the malady.

The duo-quot; domim. jejunum, and ilium were nearly free from quot; disease, but presented, here and there, a similar slate quot; of tho uuieous uieiubrano to that of the, nbomasum. quot; The cMcum, colon, and rectum wore filled with fluid quot; fssces; their mucous membrano, however, was, on quot; the -whole, free from structural change,

quot; May Gth.�After giving attention this morning quot; to case 1, we (tho Commission) went over to Zabrzez quot; to inspect the cattle which had been seen two days quot; previously at M. Berl' Krumholz's farm, on the quot; occasion of the first visit. il(Tewe(tlie Commission) quot; found that a young bull, two years and a half old, quot; �one of the animals referred to at page 247,�-was quot; the subject of the malady. Ho had only been ob-quot; served to be unwell early this morning, being twelve quot; days subsequently to the deatli of the last victim.

quot; The symptoms now present are spasmodic twitch-quot; ings of the muscles, move particularly those of the quot; neck and shoulders. These contractions succeed quot; each other with great irregularity, numbering, quot; however, on the average, about ten in the minute. quot; They are likewise accompanied with slight shiver-quot; ings of the entire body. The skin is warm, alaquo; quot; arc also the legs, horns, and ears. The back is quot; arched, and the animal stands with his legs gathered quot; under the body, but frequently shifts his position as quot; if in pain. His countcnanco, however, is more ani-quot; mated than is generally seen in the early stages of quot; the plague. There is a little, turgescence of the quot; vessels of the conjunctiva, but. no intolerance of light. quot; A slight mucous discharge flows from tho nostrils, quot; and a short, but nearly inaudible cough is present. quot; The breath is sweet, and the respiration scarcely quot; disturbed. The pulse, is increased to 80, and has quot; more fulness than is usual in these cases. All quot; desire for food has ceased ; rumination is sus-quot; ponded, and tho bowels are in a relaxed condition,

quot; (j p.m.�The symptoms are somcvvlint aggravated. quot; The animal is down, and is more depressed than in quot; the early part of the day, Dinrrhooa accompanied quot; with tenesnins has set. in. The twitching of the quot; muscles is more violent, and frequent, the cough is quot; increased, as is the discharge from the nostrils ; the quot; pulse, however, remains the same.

quot; 7th.�There is mraquo; groat chnnge in the general quot; character of the, symptoms this morning, The quot; diarrhoea is, however, more copious, The pulse is quot; weaker, but its number not increased. Tho

quot; breathing is but little altered. The cough is of quot; the same mucous character. Tho nasal discharge quot; is thicker, and contuins shreds of lymph. Tho eyes quot; ore heavy. The animal keeps laid a good deal, and quot; when down appears sleepy or semi-comatose. Tho quot; spasmodic contractions of the abdominal muscles, quot; which at times are considerable, give a peculiar quot; tremor to the whole body, and interrupt tho rhythm quot; of both inspiration und expiration. Pressure on tho quot; spine augments these spasms as well as those of tho quot; muscles of the neck and limbs. He rolusew all food, quot; but takes a little water.

quot; (gt; p.m.�Except that the animal is weaker, and quot; the alvine evacuations more fluid, there is no change quot; which needs to be specially reported,

quot; 8th,�The spasmodic twitchings are less diffused quot; than yesterday, and not so severe. The pulse, on quot; the contrary, is more rapid, and so weak as to be quot; felt with very great difficulty excepting at the quot; heart. Tho respiration is also increased, and now quot; numbers twenty-six; in the minute ; it is not, liow-quot; ever, laboured, Tho cough, although frequent, is quot; scarcely audible ; it has tho same mucous character, quot; The muzzle is moist but cold, as are the extremities quot; and horns, while the surface of tho body is yet quot; warm. The diarrhoea has passed into dysentery, quot; Tho evacuations are now of a dirty-yellow colour, quot; and remarkably iluid : they contain flocculi of quot; lymph, and are occasionally streaked with blood, quot; but are not particularly offensive. A sickly smell quot; however, emanates from the patient. The eyelids quot; arc drooping, and a thick jelly-like mass of a pale quot; straw colour has accumulated at the inner angle of quot; each eye. This mass is evidently composed chiefly quot; of fibrine, nevertheless the vessels of the conjunctiva quot; are not turgid with blood. The animal has a greater quot; disposition to keep laid, and often while recumbent quot; turns the head to the side, as if suffering slight quot; abdominal pain,

quot; 9th,�The spasmodic twitchings and also the quot; tremors are no longer to bo recognized. Tho pros-quot; tration of strength is very great. The dysenteric quot; purging continues unabated in severity. Tenesmus quot; is also present, and the evacuations are very quot; offensive. The abdomen is much pinched in. The quot; respiration remains the same in number, but is quot; occasionally accompanied with a nasal - blowing quot; sound. The discharge from both tho nostrils and quot; eyes is augmented in quantity; the eyes, however, quot; still retain their transparency, and the blood vessels quot; are but slightly injected. The pulse is not weaker quot; than yesterday, but upon the whole a little more quot; distinct. The ears, horns, and extremities are still quot; a little warm. The animal takes a small quantity quot; of water, and appears to be free from acute pain.*

* quot; The authorities decided to-day upon slaughtering tlie only remaining.eight animals, which had been isolated from the three recovered Steepc oxen, as two or three of them were giving slight indications of illness. They also had in view the raising of the enrdon at an earlier date than it otherwise could he, supposing that the malady was allowed to take its ordinary coarse, as it has to he maintained for twenty-one days after the death or the laquo;laughter of the last animal. The chief ohject in keeping up the cordon for this length of time is to prevent the possibility of a fresh out�break. No newly purchased cattle are therefore allowed to come on the farm, nor is any lahonrer, or other person, allowed to leave it. No straw or fodder of any kind is per�mitted to he removed : in fact, all the details are as rigorously enforced during these three weeks as while the disease is existing.

quot; The resolve of the authorities afforded the Commission the opportunity of witnessing the form of valuing the cattle fur slauglUermg on the part of (jovernment, their real value being greater than the estimated one. Ifor this purpose a j ary of three persons was summoned, consisting of the liurgoinaster of the village and two other inhabitants conversant with the worth of cattle. They were not, however, allowed to come within 200 paces of the line of the cordon. The non-medical com-missioner, M, Kncki, took his seat at a table placed on the line, and being furnished with writing materials, noted every particular of the transaction. 'The cattle were brought one by one to within a short distance of the Commissioner, to be inspected by the jury, who asked a great variety of ques-' tions relating to age, breed, and use for feeding, milking, or

quot; 10th.�Tho symptoms are somewhat mitigated quot; this morning, loading to the hope that tho animal quot; may possibly rally. The dysonteric ovacuations are quot; less frequent, and also diminished in quantity. The quot; breathing is more tranquil, and the cough inoio quot; audible. Tho pulse has sunk to 70, und has an in-quot; creased tone. Each rising of the artery, however, quot; is accompanied with a peoullar jerking action. Tho quot; discharge from tho nostrils and eyes has not under-quot; gone any material change. The extremities and lt;' surface of the body are warmer, and tho animal quot; is evidently more free from Buffering, Ho lies less, quot; takes freely of water, and simws a disposition to quot; eat some fresh green clover, a handful of which quot; was gathered for him from an adjacent field.

quot; 11th.�Scarcely so well to-day. Some blood is quot; occasionally passed with the alvino evacuations. quot; These are still fluid, have a foetid smell, are of a quot; palo colour, and contain numerous shreds of lymph. quot; The abdomen is more pinched in. Tho pulse is quot; rather quicker, as is also the breathing , the expira-quot; tions at times are accompanied with a slight grunt or quot; moan. The discharge from the eyes and nostrils Is quot; less in quantity, but the cough is more frequent. quot; lie has, however, eaten a little clover and drank quot; some water, and kept n standing position for a quot; longer time than before.

quot; This change in the symptoms made us (the Com-quot; mission) most desirous of watching the case to its quot; close, but the authorities gave orders that tho animal quot; should be killed forthwith, as they saw little hope of quot; his recovery. Besides this they wore anxious to quot; remove the cordon, there being no cattle left on tho quot; premises, excepting the Steppe oxen, previously quot; mentioned as having recovered from the pest.

quot; Post-mortem examination.�On removing the quot; skin, the muscles of the body wero found of their quot; usual colour and integrity, and the areolar tissue quot; throughout to be free from congestion. Com-quot; mencing the examination of the internal organs quot; at the nostrils, tho Schneider!an membrane was quot; found to be much congested, more particularly quot; that portion of it which is continued into the quot; posterior narcs, where it was extensively ulcerated. quot; This ulceration could bo traced onwards to the quot; free edge of the -velum palati. In places it was quot; concealed by a thick layer of lymph, which adhered quot; with tolerable firmness to the membrane beneath. quot; The larynx, trachea, and bronchi were free from quot; disease, as were also the lungs. The heart was

quot; healthy. It contained within its ventricles a small quot; quantity of blood, which was partially coagulated, quot; the oongullltn being very soft.

quot; The tongue was healthy, nswas also the pharynx ; quot; but the ducts of the tonsils were filled with effused quot; lymph, tho surrounding vessels being turgid with quot; blood. Tho oosophagus, rumen, and retieulum were quot; in a normal condition. The conteuts of the omasum quot; were rather dry from retention, but no structural quot; change hud taken place in the stomach Itself, The quot; mucous niembrano of the nbomasum was ulcerated quot; in small-sized patches here and there ; while nearly quot; throughout tho entire organ the follicles were quot; distended with lymph, more especially towards the quot; pylorus,

quot; The raucous membrane of the small intestines quot; was congested, the bowels themselves containing quot; numerous flocculi of lymph. Several of Peycr's quot; glands wore ulcerated. In some, an arrestation of quot; the process had taken place, and healing had begun. quot; All these glands were, however, covered more quot; or less completely with a layer of effused lymph. quot; The mucous membrane of the colon was extensively quot; ulcerated at the blind end, and throughout tho quot; intestine it was thickly beset with scabs of a dirty quot; yellow colour. Many of these scabs, chiefly the pro-quot; duct of lymph-ellusions, covered surfaces in which quot; no disease could be detected. Soino of the scabs quot; had ulceration going on beneath them, while under quot; others tho liealing process had commenced. They quot; varied in size from that of a small pea to the end of quot; the finger. They were also of different forms and quot; thicknesses. The rectum to within a few inches of quot; its termination was in a similar condition to tho quot; crocum and colon. All the large intestines were quot; filled with a fluid of a yellowish colour, in which quot; floated many shreds of lymph. The liver was quot; healthy, but the lining-membrane of the gall-quot; bladder was ulcerated, and otherwise in a similar quot; condition to that of the large intestines. The quot; kidneys were pallid, but unchanged in structure. quot; The bladder and genital organs were healthy. The quot; brain and spinal marrow gave no evidence of struc-quot; tural change, but a small effusion of serous fluid had quot; taken place into the theca-vertebralis.

quot; Case3.

quot; May 7tli.�The animal, a very poor and weak quot; heifer, was reported, by the sentinel on night duty quot; at the quarantine station in Kamienica, as having quot; been observed early this morning to be unwell. quot; The chief symptoms noticed consisted of spasmodic quot; twitehings of the muscles of the neck and ex-quot; tremities, associated with general shiverings of tho quot; entire body at irregular intervals ; pulse CO, having quot; a sharper beat than natural ; a loathing of food; quot; suspension of rumination; grinding tho teeth ; lax quot; and copious fseculent evacuations ; depressed coun-quot; tcnance; drooping eyelids ; lopped ears; staring quot; coat; arched hack ; and chilly surface of body. quot; Tho animal also stood with its legs gathered quot; together under the belly. The respiration was, quot; however, undisturbed ; the vessels of the conjunctiva quot; were uninjected, and the muzzle was moist. No quot; tenderness was evinced on the application of pressure quot; along tho course of the spine.

quot; At night, with the exception of increased weuk-quot; ness anil the passing of liquid fieces, there was no quot; material change in the symptoms.

quot; The skins of the animals were next valued at eight shillir.gs each for the larger ones, and six shillings the smaller, which sums, we (the commission) were informed, would be deducted from the gross amount; the proprietor being allowed to dispose of them as he thought fit, after they had undergone a disinfecting process, under the immediate superintendence of the authorities. This part of the aft'air being ended, the animals were led away to be slaughtered and buried. The jury now approached the table to sign the award. One only of the three could write, namely the Burgomaster, and he received authority to sign for the others. The appearance of these men was picturesque, if not very prepossessing. They wore very scantily clad, having scarcely any clothes besides a long coat made of a coarse and thick woollen material ol' a dirty-white colour, which reached a little below their knees. The Burgomoster did not inuch differ from his compeers, excepting that he wore, around his waist, a leathern girdle furnislied with a pocket, in which he carried his money, and of which, little as it might be, he appeared very proud. Their legs were enveloped in pieces of linen tied on with string, and their feet were protected by roughly-made sandalraquo;, having very thin leather soles. The sandals were apparently their own work�manship.quot;

APPENDIX II. TO THE BEPOBT ON THE

laquo; dysenlory is profuse, and tenosmus is likowiso laquo; present. The other symptoms remain about the laquo; same as in tho morning.

laquo; 9tli.__Tho symptoms are all increased in severity,

laquo; exce])ting that the tremors have nearly disappeared; quot; the abdomen is much pinched in; small quantities laquo; of blood stain tho alvine evacuations, which are laquo; likewise -very foetid; tho pulse is remarkably quot; tremulous, and the respiration is short and very laquo; quick. Tho animal will, however, from time to quot; time, drink a little water.

laquo; 10th.�During this day she struggled on against laquo; the disease, but sunk about midnight, being far too laquo; -weak to rise for several-hours before death.

quot; Post-mortem eight hours after death.�No con-laquo; gestion of the superficial vessels, nor change in tho quot; colour of tho flesh was observed on the removal �t of the skin, nor was there much tendency to de-laquo; composition of the body. Tho blood, however, was laquo; �uid, and of a dark colour in all the large veins. ^w �lcemtion had commenced in several places on tho laquo;' dorsum and root of the tongue, especially around quot; the bases of the conical papilla;. The membrane quot; of tho fauces, velum palati, pharynx, and larynx quot; was also ulcerated in patches of about tho size of a quot; shilling ; while around the posterior nasal opening quot; it was intensely reddened, and studded with yellow-quot; ish-coloured points, the result of effusion of lymph laquo; into its follicles. The ducts of the tonsils were also quot; filloil to repletion with lymph. The lining membrane quot; of the windpipe and bronchial tubes was but slightly laquo; congested, but in many places it was covered with quot; layers of effused lymph. The substance of the lungs quot; was healthy, as was also their serous covering. quot; The heart was rather flaccid ; no blood was found quot; in its ventricles.

quot; On opening the abdomen some petechial spots quot; were found on the omentum, but otherwise tho laquo; serous membrane was free from any vascular in-laquo; jection. Tho fourth stomach, and also the small quot; intestines, presented a dark-coloured condition of laquo; their outer surface, which, however, was ascertained laquo; to depend on the congested state of the mucous quot; membrane, as seen through the other coats. The quot; rumen was free from disease ; hut its epithelial laquo; lining could bo readily peeled off in places, probably quot; from changes which had taken place since death. quot; This stomach contained some rather dry ingesta. lt;'#9632; A similar state of things was met with in the reti-quot; culuin and also in the omasum, but no true loser ^,� d�rre existed. The lining membrane of the fourth laquo; stomach, � abomasum, �#9632; was intensely reddened quot; throughout, and its follicles crammed with lymph quot; Effusions of lymph likowiso adhered in many quot; places, as scabs of a dirty yellow colour, to tho quot; membrane.

laquo; The duodenum, near to the pylorus, was in a quot; similar state to the fourth stomach, as were likewise quot; the jejunum and ileum in several detached places laquo; along their course. Payer's glands were free from laquo; ulceration, and several of them had every appear-quot; ance of health. Tho mucous membrane of the largo laquo; intestines was ulcerated here and there, while in quot; other parts no change of structure could be detected. quot; These intestines contained much mucous mixed quot; with shreds of lymph. The liver was healthy, and quot; the gall-bladder was filled with a greenish-colourod quot; bile. Its lining membrane was free from disease, quot; but strings of lymph could bo drawn from out of quot; many of quot;the large biliary ducts. The urinary and quot; genitive organs gave no evidence of disease. The quot; brain and spinal marrow were firm, and presented laquo; no structural change. An unusual quantity of fluul, quot; however, existed both in tho ventricles of the brain quot; and also in the upper part of the theca vcrtebralis.

quot; In consequence of tho occurronco of this case, quot; and of case No. 1 in tho same quarantine station, laquo; the authorities determined to slaughter the rest of quot; the cattle, five in number, preserving only the animal quot; in question for the special purposes of the corn-laquo; mission. This resolve was taken on May 8th,

quot; and was hastened by tho circumstanco that all quot; tho animals were in very low condition and of little quot; value, being tho property of small farmers whoso quot; position was but little above that of tho peasants. quot; The greatest difliculty also existed in procuring suffl-quot; cient food for tho cattle. Poor women, the wives of quot; the proprietors, were daily to bo seen standing up to quot; their knees ia water in tho mountain streams for quot; hours together, with scarcely clothing sufficient to quot; cover their persons, washing couch grass, which they quot; had picked from off tho land in order to feed tho ani-quot; mals. The step was, doubtless, rendered necessary quot; by tho circumstances. It was nevertheless most quot; painful to witness tho lamentations of these poor quot; women who thus saw their chief means of living quot; at once swept away.

quot; Shortly after the removal and slaughter of the quot; animals, the quarantino station was sot on lire, and quot; razed to the ground.

laquo; Case 4. quot; On the evening of May 9th, information was quot; brought to the authorities that a fresh outbreak of quot; the malady had occurred in the village of Kamienica. quot; On hearing this, the commission was quickly quot; on the spot, and found that a cow, one of five quot; of the herd, was fast sinking from the disease. quot; It was evident that .she had been ill for at least quot; two or three days, but had not been reported. quot; The authorities expressed much dissatisfaction at quot; this, and immediately took possession of all the quot; animals, and sent them off the premises under guard quot; into quarantine. The key of the stable in which quot; the cow had been standing was delivered to the quot; keeping of the military, and the cordon established. quot; As elsewhere stated, if a proprietor conceals quot; the fact of tho pest being among his cattle, or has quot; been in any way instrumental in bringing it among quot; them, even when it prevails in the locality, the quot; entire loss falls upon himself, as the Government quot; refuses to make any allowance even for tho animals quot; that aro ordered to he killed by their officers. This quot; course was, therefore, tho one adopted in the present quot; instance.

quot; Tho most marked symptoms shown by the pest-quot; stricken animal were :�a profuse dysenteric purging; quot; indistinct pulse ; rapid breathing; surface of body quot; and limbs cold ; eyes sunk in their orbits ; discharge quot; of mucus mingled with lymph from the eyes and quot; nostrils ; staggering gait, and great prostration of *' strength, Indeed, on the way to the quarantino quot; station she fell twice, although the distance was not �' more than three hundred yards. It was also with quot; much difliculty that she was made to rise. In this quot; condition she lingered for about eight hours, when quot; death put an end to her sufferings.

quot; The principal lesions observed in making the quot; #9632;post-mortem examination were :�ulcerations at the quot; root of the tongue, with extensive turgescence of quot; all the surrounding vessels ; the tonsils, and likewise quot; all the follicles of the fauces and contiguous parts, quot; loaded with effused lymph. Large shreds of lymph quot; existed in the windpipe and bronchial tubes. The quot; heart was pale and flaccid. The abomasum was not quot; so much affected as in the other cases herein quot; quoted, nor was any portion of either the small or quot; large intestines. Whore diseased, however, tho quot; lesions of these viscera, were precisely similar to quot; those already described. Tho mucous membrane quot; of the gall-bladder was extensively ulcerated, but quot; the ducts of the liver wore free from deposits of quot; lymph. Excess of fluid existed in tho ventricles of quot; the brain, and also in tho spinal sheath. All the quot; other organs were free from structural change.

quot; Cases 5, 6, 7, 8. quot; The animals which formed tho subjects of these quot; cases were the companions of No. 4. On tho quot; morning of May 10th throe of them exhibited all quot; the ordinary symptoms usually present at tho com-quot; meneeiront of tho pest. Tho other was taken ill quot; the next day. The progress of the disease was

quot; tho samo as is usually observed, and thoroforo does quot; not call for any particular remarks. An opportunity quot; was afforded tho commission of watching tho animals quot; first attacked during tho whole of May 10th, tho quot; authoritios allowing thorn to bo kept for that pur-quot; peso; but on the following day, as soon as tho only quot; remaining animal (case 8) was attacked, they wore quot; all slaughtered. The malady was quickly running quot; its course at this time, and doubtless within a day quot; or two would have terminated fatally in all the �* animals; indeed, in one of them, a cow, tho symp-quot; toms were now so much aggravated, as to iudicato quot; that a few hours would suffice for tho animal to quot; succumb to the attack.

quot; Tho post-mortem examination, which was made in quot; each case, showed that in all essential particulars ** the morbid changes agreed with those which have quot; been already given in detail. Slight differences quot; wore observed both in tho extent and location of quot; tho principal lesions, but these it is unnecessary to quot; describe. Indeed a careful perusal of tho cases quot; which have been selected for embodiment in this quot; report will, it is hoped, sufficiently explain tho quot; morbid changes, even to the medical as to the non-�* medical reader.quot;

Tho investigation of these cases of cattle plague, together with tho circumstances under which the disease had been introduced and had spread in this part of G-alicia having been completed, the homeward journey was commenced by way of Bavaria, Wurtem-berg, and Ehenish Prussia. In Bavaria tho Commis�sion became acquainted with tho details of tho law applicable to the plague. The regulations are far more stringent than any which have been adopted at home, but they do not essentially differ from those enforced throughout the Continent. Thoy are as follows :�

During the continuance of tho pest, no cattle, dead or alive, are allowed to bo brought across the frontier. Flesh, hides, entrails, horns, hair, and tallow of cattle, and bones, whole or crushed, of any animal, with their hair, wool, or bristles, are also especially prevented crossing by the cordon; as are woollen cloths, scutchings of leather, feathers, farmyard manure, hay, clovoi', straw, and all other description of cattle fodder.

When the disease occurs on a farm, the affected animals are not removed from tho sheds, but the apparently healthy are taken to tho quarantine station. Each commune is obliged quot;to provide a station of this description, which is built of wood and divided into two parts, one for the doubtful cases, and the other for the supposed healthy.

Commissioners, appointed by tho Government for carrying out tho law, have tho power of allowing medical treatment of the animals, but tho veterinary surgeon must remain in the quarantine, and receive all he requires at the end of a long pole. All churches, schools, and public-houses of the district are closed, so as to prevent the congregating of people together, and remove those inducements which might cause persons to come from infected farms.

On the occurrence of illness among cattle from other causes than the pest, tho Commissioners do not, as a rule, approach the animals, but, standing at a distance, they arrive at a decision as to the nature of the ailment, frequently ordering some food to be offered as a test of their freedom or otherwise from the plague. In those instances where tho Com�missioners enter the stable, they are compelled, before leaving, to wash their hands, amp;c., with vinegar, and have their clothes fumigated with chlorine gas.

All dogs, cats, rabbits, domestic poultry, pigeons, amp;c,, have to be kept in places of security and close confinement. If the diseaso exist in a village through which a high-road runs, the course of tho road is turned, if possible ; but when this is not practicable, then a guard accompanies the several travellers who arrive at the boundaries of the cordon, to see that thoy do not go upon tho infected promises. Tho cor�don is frequently maintained by the peasants, none of

them however, are taken for this purpose from an infected village, but tho selection is made from con�tiguous villages or farms where the cattle are healthy. As soon as tho plague is observed in a Commune, notices are sent to all tho surrounding places so that precautionary measures may bo immediately adopted by tho owners of cattle. Each Commune has to provide a place for the burial of the animals which die or are slaughtered, and also a waggon and horses to carry them upon ; and, on tho disease passing away, tho waggon is burnt, and tho horses are washed with a solution of chlorinated lime, The place of interment is likewise enclosed, and not allowed to be disturbed for several years.

On an inspection of supposed cases of the plague, all tho animals which give indications of spasmodic twitchings of the muscles are ordered by tho Com�missioners to bo taken at once to tho burial ground, #9632;where they are killed, and interred with their skins on, these being cut in the usual manner. Occasionally, a special order of tho Government permits tho removal of the skins, which are then subjected to a disinfecting process, under the immediate superintendence of tho Commissioners. If only a few cases of the diseaso occur in a large herd of cattle, the Commissioners have the power to suspend the slaughtering of tho ex�posed animals for a few days, in order to watch tho result ; such animals, however, have a value put upon them, which is to bo paid by tho Government in the event of their being killed. Should no animal fall ill within twenty days from tho death or slaughtering of the last one, tho quarantine is raised ; but the cattle which have been liberated are not allowed to go near to others until they have boon washed with a solution of chlorinated lime. On the discharge of the animals, the quarantine station is razed and burnt.

Tho Commissioners have to report day by day every occurrence to the Government, and to give tho fullest particulars, even to tho names of the persons employed at the cordon, and tho age, colour, sex, amp;c., of tho cattle in the quarantine. Tho hay on a farm at tho time the pest broke out is not allowed to be afterwards used for cattle, but must be consumed by horses and sheep.

On the return of tho Commission to England, a full report of its proceedings was made to the lloyal Agricultural Society, and subsequently published in tho Society's journal. From this report many of tho particulars here given have been extracted.

In the year succeeding this inquiry, viz. 1858, the cattle plague again passed from the Steppes, and pro�duced very serious losses in other parts of Russia. Ac�cording to official information no less than forty-seven governmental departments of that country were visited. The deaths alone amounted to 118,315 out of 178,690 animals which were attacked. The outbreak was not confined to Russia, for by the following year tho plague had penetrated as far westward as Bohemia, having come there by way of Silesia. The losses of cattle were not large in Bohemia, but tho visitation proved to be important as marking a new epoch in the history of the cattle plague. Hitherto it had been believed that tho malady was one which only affected the ox tribe. In December, however, of this year, Dr. Mareseh, Veterinary Surgeon for tho district of Melniker, Bohemia, recognized in some sheep which had been herded with diseased cattle symptoms of a malady so akin to tho plague that he was led to think that the animals had contracted this diseaso.

It appears that out of a flock of 108 sheep exposed to cattle plague infection, 38 were attacked with tho disease, and that of these 18 died, 4 were killed, and 16 recovered. Dr. Mareseh, however, in his report of tho circumstance, did not venture to assert that tho diseaso was identical with cattle plague, although tho resemblance of it both in its symptoms and post�mortem appearances was so great. In the following year, however, and again in 18CI, similar circninstances were brought under the notice of the same observer, which satisfied him that tho disease was none other than the plague, During 18(51, the fact of sheep

APPKNDIX II. TO THE KEPOBT ON THK

contracting cattle plague was also brought to tlio knowledge of Dr. Gnhunbos, Professor of the Veter�inary School of Pestli. In tliis instance the sheep were kept in the same stable with some diseaaed cattle. Since that time similar occurrences hnve been observed in many parts of the continent by several of (ho most distinguished Veterinary Professors; and in this country also experience has proved that in numerous instances the plague has spread from cattle to both sheep and goats. The particulars of these occurrences will be given in a subsequent part of this report.

In 18�0-1 fresh outbreaks of the cattle plague occurred in Buckowinn, Galicia, Moravia, Hungary, and Lower Austria. By the extension of the disease towards Walluchia, the town of Golatz was in August 1861 placed in quarantine, and the town cattle pre�vented from coming in contact with those arriving from the interior. In the latter named year some cows also became affected in the city of Vienna, but the nature of the disease being at once ascertained the malady was quickly exterminated.

Throughout 1862 Poland and Galicia continued to suiter severely. In the autumn of this year the malady approached very near to Oppeln, in the province of Silesia, but did not gain a footing in the Prussian dominions. Towards the end of 1862, however, the plague again found its way into Italy by the shipping of some Dalmatian cattle from Trieste to Peseara, Aneoua, and other Italian ports. Shortly after its introduction it crossed tlio Apennines into the Nea�politan States, and subsequently advanced so near to llome that the inhabitants of the city suffered for a time from a scarcity both of beef and milk. Many thousands of animals were lost, and it was not until the end of 1863 that Italy was again free of the disease.

In 1863 the plague was widely diifused in Austria, Hungary,Poland, and adjacent countries, arising chiefly from the Polish insurrection. The disease advanced northwards, and committed great ravages in the Russian province of Wilna. It also extended south�wards to Turkey, and was thence conveyed to Egypt, where it swept away 600,000 cattle, 100,000 butfaloes, and 3,000 camels during this and the succeeding year.

Although at the beginning of 1864 the plague was still very rife in Eussia, it had declined in the Austrian Empire, and was also much less prevalent in Eastern Europe.

The Royal Commission in its second report, dated February 1866, observes, that quot; in the Baltic pro-quot; vinces the disease does not seem to have shown quot; itself in 1864. There were, however, many scat-quot; tered outbreaks which indeed are frequent in quot; Central and Western Russia, and it raged with quot; considerable violence between January and May quot; in theGovcrnmentofKowno, which is very near to quot; the port of Memel, and between January and July quot; in that of Volhynia, which borders on the Galician quot; frontier, and from whence cattle may bo easily quot; driven to the Eastern terminus of the Vienna quot; and Lemberg Railway. A subsequent outbreak quot; occurred in Kowno in November, and led to the quot; irnmediiite enforcement by the Prussian authorities quot; of the stringent regulations which the law of quot; Prussia orders to be applied to the frontier of an quot; infected district.quot;

The movement northwards of the Austrian army early in 1864, towards the Danish Duchies led to rumours of the cattle plague having followed the army, and of it having appeared in Germany, and also in Schleswig.

An inquiry into the correctness of this statement was fit once instituted at the speeiid request of Mr. Simon of the Medical Department of the Privy Council, and in addition thereto the Customs in�spectors were directed to be upon their guard against the introduction of the disease. The inquiry showed, however, that the rumour was without foundation, and that no cattle had yet been drawn from the east for the supply cither of the Austrian or Prussian army. On the first week of the entrance of the United

Army into the Duchies the Austrian troops were supplied with cattle direct from Hamburg market. Subsequently the Commissariat, both of the Austrian and Prussian armies, was replenished from North Germany, by contractors residing in Berlin. Later on Marshal Wrangol called for 5,000 cattle from Jutland, which gave another supply to the army without any risk being incurred of an outbreak of the plague. Thus both Central and Western Europe were saved an outbreak of cattle plague during this memorable year.

England, however, was not long destined to remain free from the cattle plague, as, in the very next year, I860, the disease was imported here, causing, as soon as the fact became known, the greatest con�sternation among all classes of the community. The particulars of its introduction, together with its rapid spread throughout the country will be given in a subsequent part of this report. In the meanwhile the narrative of the progress of the plague in Europe will be continued.

During 1865 the plague made several irruptions into the countries which border on Russia, in conse�quence of which Buckowina and Galacia sustained heavy losses, more especially in their eastern divisions. By about the middle of the year the plague had penetrated to the western parts of Hungary, and in the month of August the disease had crossed the Lytha into Lower Austria, but was, however, quickly exterminated.

In this year, also, Holland, Belgium, and France became infected, the former country having in the first instance received the disease from England. From Holland the plague was transmitted to Belgium, and via Belgium it entered France.

The particulars relating to the conveyance of the disease to Holland are as follows :�About the 19th of June twenty-three oxen arrived from Holland, being consigned by Mr. Defries, of Schiedam, to his son, a salesman in the Metropolitan Market. The animals were exposed for sale on the 22nd, 26th, and 29th of June, but as the demand for cattle was at the time very limited, none of them were sold. Thirteen of them are reported to have gone into the market on each of these days, and ten on two of them. During the intervals they were all placed in Mrs. Nicholls' lairs, where the plague was subsequently ascertained to have been existing on June 27th et seq. Besides their location at an infected place, there can be little doubt that the animals wore exposed in the market itself to the plague, as subsequent events showed that from about the middle of June many diseased cattle were sent there for sale on each market day. The Dutch cattle not being sold, it was determined to send them back to Holland, and they were consequently re-shipped at Blackwall on July 2nd. On their arrival at the wharf, Mr. Simmonds, Customs In-spoctor, observed that some of them were unwell, but as he had no power to prevent their export, and had no suspicion they were affected with the plague, they were allowed to be shipped for Rot�terdam. Arriving in Holland they were turned into a marsh at Kethal, adjoining one in which a quan�tity of cattle were grazing, belonging to Mr. Van-dervelden. Within a few days twenty-one out of the twenty-three animals sent from England died of the plague. The disease was also communicated to Mr. Vundervelden's cattle, and, by the sale of some of them it quickly spread in the neighbourhood. Upwards of six weeks, however, elapsed before the Dutch Government had ofliciol and positive informa�tion of the existence of the plague in the country, and even then it did little more than order a close inspection of the infected communes. Information of the outbreak having reached this country, the Clerk of the Council at once, viz., on August 26th, notified the fact to the Secretary of Customs.

The attacks in Holland rose week by week until they reached to about 4,000. Various attempts at cure were made, all of which not only proved un�availing, but became fertile causes of an extension of the plague. In a communication received from

Professor Wollonborgli, Director of the Veterinary School, Utrecht, ho states that quot;the disease prevailed quot; chiefly in the provinces of South llolinnd and quot; Utrecht, was less violent in Guelderlaml and North quot; Brabnnt, did not show itself in Friesland, Groningen, quot; and Urenthc, and attacked but very few cattle in quot; Overyssol. The official returns,quot; ho adds, quot;give the quot; total number attacked as 156,600, of which 78,114 quot; died, 36,485 wore killed, and 51,565 recovered, or quot; were unaccounted for.quot;

The slaughtering of all animals exposed to the in�fection, as well as those attacked with the plague, was not fully carried out by the Dutch Government until April 1867. From this time the disease begnn to decline, and by the end of May the attacks had sunk to about 40 per week. By the first week in November the plague was virtually extinct in Holland. The Go�vernment experienced, however, so much difficulty in the adoption of its measures of exterminating the disease, that it had to employ the military for the purpose. At the commencement of the slauglitering of the animals which had been exposed to the infec�tion, about 7,000 were shot and buried by the troops in one week. So great resistance, however, was offered to the continuous slaughter of these cattle, that the soldiers at last fired on the people, killing two men, and wounding others.

During the early existence of the plague in Holland, and down to the time of Dutch cattle being prohibited from coming here, by Order of Council of March 24th, 1866, many infected animals were shipped to England. ' The cattle owners of Holland used in fact every effort to get quit of infected animals, by sending them to Belgium and France, but chiefly to England, to save themselves from loss. This practice was at its height during the first two months of the plague and was carried on more or less actively afterwards, until, in fact, all importations of cattle from Holland were forbidden by our Government. As can be readily supposed it added greatly to our losses, and contributed to the more rapid spread of the plague throughout the country.

In this way also the plague was imported into Belgium. Mr. Barren, Her Majesty's Secretary of Legation, Belgium, in his report on the . cattle plague to Lord Howard de Waiden says, that quot; the imports from Holland in 1865 to Belgium quot; became unusually large, having attained the figure quot; of 4,609 down to the end of August, the average quot; of the first eight months being in former years quot; only 3,200. These imports, partly derived from quot; the Rotterdam market, the great refuge of sus-quot; picious animals, brought the germs of the disease quot; into Belgium. Some infected cattle arc known to quot; have entered Belgium'on the 16lh August. Many quot; had probably entered before that date. No one quot; hero knew then what the disease was. As soon as quot; the ' Staats courant' revealed the fatal truth, the quot; Belgian Government hesitated not a single day to quot; close the whole frontier against the importation quot; of cattle. Meanwhile the plague�swifter in its quot; movements than the Government�had crossed the quot; border, had broken out in several parts of Flanders, quot; and had even penetrated into France.quot;

The stamping out system was vigorously adopted, in Belgium, and to this the disease ultimately yielded causing a loss, according to the official returns, of 2,357 animals. The plague having been exterminated, it was hoped that Belgium would experience no further outbreak of the disease ; the contrary, how�ever, proved to be the case.

The cessation of the plague in France led the Belgian Government, as early as February 1866, to remove the prohibition raquo;gainst French cattle, and in November of the same yenr tiic Government yielding to the pressure which was put upon it, relaxed the restrictions relative to cattle from Ehenish I'russia�a few cases only having occurred at an eai'ly date at Cloves, near to the Dutch Frontier. This step, however, led to another serious outbreak of the plague in Belgium. It ap�pears that in January 1867, some cattle belonging

to n dealer at Eindhover in Holland) wore forwarded by him to Cologne, and then sent to ilassalt, in the Limbourg division of Belgium, for feeding on the waste of the distilleries. Whether the animals had originally come from Holland, having been first removed surreptitiously into Rhenish Prussia, does not seem to have been fully ascertained, but bo this as it may, the plague broke out in Hassalt and its neighbourhood, within a few days of the arrival of these cattle and was not exterminated for nearly two months, and then only by a saerifieo of upwards of 1,400 animals.

It is also highly probable that the re-introduction of the plague into London in January 1867 was due to similar proceedings on the part of foreign cattle dealers, as exports from Antwerp to this country were then being made from week to week. This matter will, however, be again alluded to.

We come now to the outbreak of the plague in France. It has already been shown that very soon after the disease had obtained a footing in Belgium it crossed the frontier, and entered France, making its appearance in the department of the Nord and Fas de Calais. The introduction of the malady depended on the purchase of an infected animal at Malines on September 3rd, 1865.

The Government, however, was quickly on the alert, and having obtained early and reliable information of the circumstance, it commissioned M. Lecoq, Inspector General of Veterinary Schools, to proceed to the spot, armed with power to kill both the diseased and sus�pected animals and compensate the owners for the loss. This measure sufficed to free Franco at once of the cattle plague with a loss of only 43 animals. An Imperial order dated September 5th, 1865, was also issued, by which all the ports of France from Nantes to Dunkirk were closed against the importation of cattle.

A second outbreak of the plague in France is said to have taken place in the gardens of the Acclimatization Society in the month of November following ; its introduction being due to two gazelles sent from London. A strict inquiry into all the circumstances of the case led to the obtainment of the following facts.

Ist. The two gazelles were purchased on No�vember 9th, 1865, by Mr. Jamrack, of Ratcliffo Highway, while still on board the ship in the Victoria, Docks. This was verified by the production of the receipt.

2dly. The animals wore brought from India, and had been on board the vessel upwards of three months.

3dly. The gazelles were conveyed in baskets directly from the vessel to Mr. Jamrack's stables in Betts Street, and kept there till November 13th, a period of four days.

4thly. On November 13th they were placed in proper cages, and sent to London Bridge Station, from which they were conveyed to Paris via Newhavcn.

5thly. While in Mr. Jamrack's possession they gave no sign of illness, and were not brought in contact with any cattle. The nearest cowshed was one belonging to Mr. Ed. Amos, opposite to Mr. Jamrack's stables in Betts Street, and Mr. Inspector Furrow states that there had been no plague in this shed ; that some animals which had been sent; from it to the butcher wore healthy, and were removed under his supervision.

(ilhly. On the 15th the gazelles reached the gardens of the Acclimatization Society apparently in perfect health, and no illness was observed in either of them until four days after their arrival, when one fell sick. This animal died on the 24th. Little im-portaneo was attached, however, to the civciiinsfaiici', as it was not an uncommon occurrence for the Society to lose newly purchased animals.

7thly. The second gazelle gave indications of illness on the day succeeding the death of the first one. It was seen by M. Leblanc, V.S., and also Professor Bouley, both of whom arc said to have recognized some of the symptoms of ealtle plague. Notwith�standing this, the animal was not killed until the

APPENDIX II. TO THE REPORT ON THE

fifth day of its illnoss. The lesions mot with nro reported to have been characteristic of the plague, although they were not well marked.

8thly. After giving indications of disease the gazelles were brought more or less directly in contact with 50 animals in tho gardens, and 16 of these were noticed to ho ill on December 30th, 11 days after the illness of tho first gazelle; these cases were followed by others of a similar kind.

9thly. In some of the animals which died, or were killed, tho post-mortem appearances were found to be allied to those of cattle plague.

lOthly. Thirty-four of the animals (among which were four pcecari), which had been exposed to the diseased gazelles were lost by death or slaughter, while several others were not attacked.

Many of these facts cannot bo easily explained on the belief of tho disease being cattle plague. Among the animals which took tho disease it will be observed wore four pecenii, creatures which are believed to be insusceptible to the contagium of the cattle plague. Peccari aro closely allied to the pig tribe, and it is well known that during the existence of cattle plague in this country hundreds, nay probably thousands of pigs were exposed to tho infection of the plague on farmers' premises, and not one is known to have contracted the disease. It is also a well ascertained fact that the gazelles were not exposed to the con�tagion of cattle plague while in England either by being brought in contact with diseased cattle, or by being located near to places inhabited by them. Their period of stay here was only four days, and not two months as has been stated. In explanation of the outbreak and in belief of the disease being plague, it has been suggested that the gazelles received the infection by being conveyed from London to Newhaven in a railway waggon which was used for the con�veyance of meat from the metropolis into the country. Tho circumstance that tho first one sickened on the sixth day following its having boon put into the waggon militates somewhat against this exposition, as tho period of incubation of cattle plague is rarely less than seven or eight days.

It is also to he remembered that imported animals, especially those brought from tropical climes, are often attacked on their arrival in Europe with catarrhal disease, which not unfrcquently assumes a malignant type. Mr. Jamrack, in common with other importers, loses many animals from this cause. Indeed he esti�mates his losses therefrom at no less than 700/. to 1,000/. sterling per annum. Sixteen days subse�quently to the gazelles in question being sent to France, he lost a gazelle from this disease, and its death was quickly followed by that of a mouflon. In proof that neither of those animals died from cattle plague, is the circumstance that at a visit made within a fortnight of the death of the latter animal, another mouflon, and several animals known to be susceptible to the plague, were found to bo in perfect health. Indeed, no case of cattle plague ever occurred on Mr. Jamrack's premises.

Attention has now to be called to the circumstance that in the summer of 1865 a Veterinary International Congress was held at Vienna, for the purpose of con�sidering, among other subjects, the most practical method of preventing the spread of tho cattle plague from the Steppes of Russia into Western Europe. Delegates from nearly every country in Europe were present, England being represented by Professor Spooner of the Royal Veterinary College, Mr. Wil�kinson, Principal Veterinary Surgeon toller Majesty's Forces, Mr. Field, jun., Vice-President of tho Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and Mr. Ernes, Member of the Council of that body. The sittings of the Congress were begun on the 21st of August, and continued daily up to tlio 28th. The chief discussion on the cattle plague arose on tho question of altering the period of quarantine for store animals passing from Russia into the Danuhian Principalities, Galicia, Poland, amp;c., which had hitherto been fixed as 21 days. Practically it had been found that this

length of time was not only a groat impediment to trade, but that it had often led to evasions of the law by infected animals being smuggled across tho frontier, by which means the plague had been fre�quently introduced into countries bordering on Russia. Regard being had to tho time of the incubation of the disease and the local circumstances connected with cattle traffic, a resolution was passed, after a very spirited discussion, recommending tho respective Governments to shorten the time of quarantine to 10 days. The meeting also recommended quot; that per-

*nbsp; fectly dried hides, horns, bones, dried and salted quot; offal, melted tallow in vessels, ox hair, pig bristles, quot; and wool in bags should bo admitted without being quot; disinfected ; that fresh horns, hoofs, hides, and bones, quot; and melted tallow in bladders should bo disinfected ; quot; and that when these things came from infected

*nbsp; districts, or when the cattle plague was spreading, quot; they should bo entirely prohibited. It was further quot; recommended that all railway trucks and other con-quot; veyances for cattle should be put under veterinary quot; inspection, and that they should be kept clean hy quot; being washed with boiling water, and then dis-quot; infected with a solution of chloride of lime.quot;

To como to 1866. During this year tho cattle plague was again widely diffused by the movements of hostile armies. Austria and Prussia came into colli�sion, and by the advance of the Italian troops towards tho Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, Austria was com�pelled to draw her commissariat supplies from the east. Hungary was among the countries to feel the first ill effects of the spread of the disease. The plague manifested itself early in 1866 in this kingdom, and destroyed in one commune alone between eight and nine thousand animals. Although tho battle of Sadowa, on July 3rd, quickly brought peace between Austria and Prussia, and thereby gave facilities for tho adoption of sanitary regulations for the extermination of the cattle plague, the disease continued to enlarge the area of its infection, and from several of the countries in Eastern Europe it has not yet been expelled.

Since 1866, and down to the date of this report, a large amount of valuable information has been officially transmitted from the Continent relative to the progress of the plague. This we now purpose to record in a condensed form, under the names of the principal Countries to which the information applies.

R0SSIA.

During the first seven months of 1867 the cattle plague was very widely diffused in Russia, no less than a dozen governmental divisions being more or leas infected. The malady prevailed in the central and western parts of the empire, as well as in tho south. The losses proved enormous, but as yet the number has not been officially communicated to tho home Government. Subsequently to this extension of tho plague, its ravages were nearer to its home in the Southern Steppes. A valuable despatch on tho subject was received at the Foreign Office from Mr. George Alexander Stevens, Acting Consul Ge�neral at Odessa, enclosing a report addressed to him by Mr. Richard Clayton Webster, an English gen�tleman residing at Kherson, who had on a former occasion assisted Mr. Stevens in making an official inquiry into the state of the cattle plague. Tho report from which the following extracts are taken is headed�

Report on the late Outbreak of Cattle Plague in the District of Khersow, South Russia, Decem�ber 1867.

quot; First appearance of the malady, locality, and quot; origin�

quot; The first information of tho recent outbreak quot; of the cattle plague was received in the begir-quot; ning of December, in consequence of which tho �* rural municipal administration of the district of quot; Kherson immediately sent its veterinary surgeon, quot; Mr. Zemlemcroff, to the villages of Davidoflj Bred,

CATTI-R PliAOUK IN GREAT BUTTAIN.

quot; Dmitrcivka, and Boortoroonka, on tho banks of quot; tho rivor lugoolotz, whonco ho reported that tho quot; cattlo plaguo existed amongst tho cattle belong-quot; ing to the peasantry, and that it had originated in quot; some oxen bought at tho Kakhooka fair on the 13th quot; of Oetober 1867. Kakhooka is on tho left bank quot; of the Dnieper, opposite Berislav.

quot; Ultimately the disease was communicated to cattlo quot; in tho villages of Vladimirooka, Starosellia, and quot; Belozorka, all more or less situated on or near tho quot; river lugoolotz.

quot; Tho spreading of tho contagion may be attributed quot; to tho entire disregard of precautionary measures. In quot; many cases tho peasants paid no attention to the first quot; symptoms of the malady, and did not give thomsolves quot; the trouble to use curative or palliative remedies quot; existing on tho spot.

quot; No quarantine regulations wore observed, and quot; many a dead plague stricken bullock was skinned quot; in the same yard where other cattlo were feeding quot; loose or tethered. The veterinary surgeon's assis-quot; tants, who, at regular intervals, visit the various quot; villages, complained that very often no mention ^K was made by the Elders of communities of tho quot; rinderpest having broken out in outlying villages. quot; The peasantry try as much as possible to conceal quot; the fact, and it was entirely by accident that quot; Mr. Doomoostcheeff, one of tho veterinary assistants quot; found out tho existence of the disease at Vladi-quot; mirooka, where it had been raging for two months.quot;

The general precautionary rules which should bo observed are as follows:�

quot; If an animal fall sick and appear to be suffer-quot; ing from an internal disorder, even though tho quot; cattle plague does not exist in the vicinity or village, quot; the owner must inform the authorities of the fact, quot; and the diseased animal must not be driven laquo;ut with quot; tho other household cattle until it has completely quot; recovered. But, if in the course of 20 days from quot; the falling ill of the first animal, a second or third quot; is attacked in the same yard without any visible quot; reason, or if any animal brought from elsewhere is quot; slaughtered without the necessary inspection, or quot; sold within the period specified, and in the course quot; of 20 days falls ill, in this case tho malady and quot; circumstance must be considered as very suspicious. quot; The owner of the diseased animal ought to im-quot; mediately inform the authorities of the fact, who quot; will at once have the affected beast led away and quot; placed in one of the covered stalls appointed for quot; the purpose till such time as some experienced quot; person shall examine it, and declare whether the quot; attack is casual or from contagion, conformable to quot; which further measures will be taken.quot;

On the breaking out of the plague die following regulations for its suppression are to be enforced,�

quot; 1st. That healthy cattlo be separated from the quot; diseased, and that no communication exists between quot; them. These measures must be taken immediately quot; the symptoms show themselves in a few animals, on quot; no account awaiting their further development. It is quot; tho only way of nipping tho disease in the bud, and quot; preserving the neighbouring villages from the groat quot; danger of contagion.

quot; 2ndly. Suspected cattle must bo kept in a distant quot; and separate place for a period of 14 days, and, if *' at tho end of that time none have been taken ill, quot; they may be considered as free from infection. quot; The infraction of this rule will entail tho most quot; calamitous result)

'' 3i'dly. Tho inhabitants of neighbouring villages quot; must be informed of the existence of the contagion, quot; so that they may take precautionary measures,

quot; 4thly. In infected places, and in tho noighbour-quot; hood thereof, the sale of cattle is forbidden.

quot; 5thly. Cattlo being led to slaughter may not bo quot; driven through infected districts; for this purpose quot; tho authorities will indicate special roads,

quot; 61-hly. During the raging of tho rinderpest it is quot; considered a good thing to smear the nostrils and quot; groins of cattlo with .Stockholm tar. (A proprietor quot; recommends garlic to be mixed with it.)

quot; 7thly. Every owner of diseased cattle must inform quot; the authorities of tho fact.

quot; 8thly. Healthy cattlo must be kept separate, and quot; cleanliness strictly attendeil to.

quot; Othly. Troughs, buckets, and any other utensils quot; which may have been used by diseased cattle are quot; not to be employed.

quot; lOthly. In summer healthy cattle should have quot; grass, and in winter hay moistened with salt and quot; water. It is a good thing to add salt to all drinks quot; or mashes, Tho usual quantity of fodder must be quot; diminished.

quot; llthly. An animal having recovered from the quot; cattle plague is not to bo allowed to intormingol quot; with other cattlo before it bus been well washed quot; with lye.

quot; 12thly, Dead animals must bo carted away by quot; horses, and care bo taken that no fluid from tho *' carcase run out on the ground,

quot; 1 Sthly. Dead animals are to be buried in a deep quot; pit, and neither the skin, horns, nor hoofs are to quot; bo taken off,

quot; 14thly, It is to be strictly observed that no quot; carcase remain unburied, or bo thrown into any quot; lake or river.quot;

It is almost unnecessary to comment on the in�sufficiency of these means to arrest the progress of so contagious a disease as tho cattle plague, and seeing that Russia by such regulations rather encourages tho treatment of diseased animals, it is no wonder that the plaguo so frequently extends to tho otherwise healthy governmental divisions of the empire, or that it makes its way by ordinary cattlo traffic into countries which are contiguous to the frontiers of Ilussia, and thence to Central Europe.

Poland.

Compared with many former years, the loss sus�tained by Poland from the cattle plaguo during 1867 was very slight. The position, however, which Poland holds with regard to other countries in Eastern Europe, together with tho necessity which exists, from the insufficient number and inferior quality of tho native cattle, for her to import cattlo from the southern parts of Ilussia, often lead to irruptions of the plague. These imports are drawn chiefly from Bessarabia, and Steppe cattle to the extent of 30,000 enter Poland every year. To guard against such a continuous source of danger, oven when no circumstances exist to disarrange tho ordinary course of trade, a system of quarantine has been established, and also one of national insurance to compensate the owners of cattle for their losses from the plague. As a further security Steppe cattle are only permitted to enter the kingdom at two places in tho governmental de�partment of Lublin. Here all cattle intended for immediate slaughter are detained for 48 hours, while those required for stock purposes have to remain 21 days in quarantine. A veterinary surgeon is at�tached to each quarantine station, who acts under the superintendence of a local committee appointed by the government.

The fat cattle on being liberated are only permitted to go under strict government surveillance, either by railway or by particular roads, to twelve of tho chief towns, there to be slaughtered for tho supply of the inhabitants, or the garrisons located in tho fortresses attached to the place. When sent by roads, arrangements arc made for the distance to be travelled each day by the cattle; for the stations at which they shall lodge ; so as to prevent all contact between thorn or their drivers and the native cattle ; for an inspection of them on tho way by a government veterinary surgeon, and for other minor matters so as to secure thu arrival of each animal at its proper destination.

The store stock on quitting the quarantine, if no disease occurs, have to go through a process of dis�infection, und are then marked so as to be distinguished from the animals which have only been detained two days, after which they are I'reo to pass anywhere in the kingdom. To cover the quarantine and other

neoegsary cxponsesnt tiio frontier, u tax of 50 copocks, about 1laquo;. 7lt;/. English, is levied on euch imimiil, with the exception of those belonging to the nriny when coming in with troops. Owners of cattle, or traders who make default of this payment, are fined six times the amount, namely, three roubleraquo; per head, for the benefit of the quarantine fund. Heavy fines mid stringent, regulations also exist against sraugglin}:; animals into the kingdom, notwithstanding which the law is frequently evaded.

Besides Steppe cattle, animals from Volhynia arc brought into Poland, which, excepting when the cattle plague is prevailing in that and contiguous provinces, arc allowed a free passage; the cattle plague not being indigenous to that part of Kussia.

To raise n fund for the support of the national insurance, all owners of cattle have to pay a com�pulsory rate in proportion to the sum spent, to cover the expenses of insurance and the adoption of the necessary means to arrest the spread of the plague. This rate is not continued annually, but levied when�ever a necessity exists to raise the reserved fund to the amount of 100,000 roubles, quot;or once in five years quot; if such a sum had not been required during five quot; years.quot;

The general insurance maximum value is fixed at 35 silver roubles, about 5/. 5*. English, for an ox or bull, 25 for a cow, 10 for a heifer or young ox, and 8 for a calf. Up to a year old, animals are classed as calves ; and above that ago and to the end of the third year as heifers or young oxen; over three as bulls or oxen.

Special insurance rates are provided for owners of improved stock, compensation being granted according to the value insured. In all ordinary cases how�ever, compensation is allowed in accordance with the estimated value of the animal by a sub-committee appointed by the local authority, but in no case does it exceed the maximum insurance value. Com�pensation is also allowed for all cattle slaughtered by order of the local authority, whether diseased or healthy, if exposed to the infection ; likewise for all cattle which had died after the outbreak had been legally reported. Persons who conceal the real number of their cattle are fined to the extent of ten times the amount of the rate chargeable on all animals so concealed. The insurance does not extend to Steppe cattle imported into the kingdom for trade purposes.

Doubtless those means are preventive to a con�siderable extent, but the peculiar conditions under which Poland is placed often render them of little avail iu saving the country from immense losses lgt;y outbreaks of the plague.

Galicia.

The official information, which dates from April 18()7, shows that the plague was then existing in 58 villages, and in 20 different quot; circles quot; or districts in East Galicia.

Throughout the whole of 1867, Galicia continued to suffer loss from outbreaks of the disease without intermission, but with varying intensity. According to despatches, dated December 1867, the plague was still prevalent in many parts of the country.

Buckowina.

Buckovvina, from its geographical position, rarely escapes nn outbreak of the cattle plague long together, and especially if the disease gains a footing in Galicia through the ordinary cattle traffic from the Steppes. Not only in 1866, but throughout the greater part of 1867, Buckowina sustained very heavy losses from the plague.

IIunoauy.

It has already been shown that the cattle plague prevailed very extensively in Hungary during the latter half of 1866. Since then this country has not been free of the disease. The latest official information shows that, although the plague had been stamped out in many places, it had shown itself in others, and

was still very far from being exterminated. The total losses nro not given, but considering the long exist�ence of the plague, many thousands of animals must have been sacrificed during 18G6 and 1867. The existence of the disease in Hungary is always fraught with danger to Western Europe from the free export of cattle which takes place therefrom,

Tbansyi-vania. Until recently very little information 1 had been re�ceived with regard (to the cattle plague in Transly-vania. The official despatches state, however, that the disease was very prevalent in the autumn of 1867. In common with countries adjacent to the Steppes, Transylvania is rarely free oi' the disease for any length of time.

Austria.

It appears from the official despatches that the cattle plague prevailed at the beginning of 1867 in Lower Austria, in common with many other parts of the empire, and that it uninterruptedly continued its ravages down to the last week of September. In October 1867 the country was declared free, but fresh outbreaks soon afterwards occurred, so that by the end of November or the beginning of December five districts of Lower Austria were still the seat of the disease.

During July 1867, the Bavarian government, on account of the prevalence of the plague in Austria, forbad the transit, or entrance from Austria of cattle, sheep, or goats, alive or dead ; also of raw meat, offal, hides, amp;c., either fresh or dry, and of hay and straw, even as packing materials. Similar regu�lations were made with reference to Hungary, Galicia, Moravia, Silesia, and Transylvania, and likewise with regard to Wurtemberg, so far as the introduction of these things could be effected, by their being first brought into that kingdom.

Moravia.

The information received from Moravia dates from the beginning of May 1867. It is to the effect that the cattle plague, which had been annihilated by the middle of April, had again been introduced by some Hungarian cattle. From this time, notwithstanding the slaughter of all the cattle on the respective farms, the disease continued to show itself in different parts of the province up to the end of the year, with little hope of its being quickly exterminated.

Silesia.

In November 1867 the cattle plague broke out in the neighbourhood of Oppeln, Katibor, and other places near the Austrian frontier, having been intro�duced as is supposed by some cattle sent from Austria. Many hundreds of animals were slaughtered, and all communication with the infected districts cut off by military cordons. Notwithstanding these measures, the disease gained ground, and by the end of the month it was existing in 27 parishes, and on 77 farms. Shortly after this it began to decline, and by the end of the year it had greatly diminished in every part of the province. The losses were heavy, but no official return of them has been received.

Both Silesia and Moravia furnish large numbers of cattle to the English market. A custom largely pre�vails in these and other Prussian provinces of dealers buying up cattle, and sending them to the sugar factories to be fattened on the refuse matter of the beet root, amp;c. This system leads to a considerable cattle traffic, and the drawing of supplies from distant parts. Not unfrequently the introduction of the cattle plague into Silesia is due exclusively to this cause.

Prussia. The information from Prussia Proper dates from September 1866 and is to the effect that the cattle plague was still on quot; the increase.quot; Subsequent re�ports would seem to show that the increase of the disease, thus alluded to, applied exclusively to East Prussia, as a despatch from Kocnigsberg, dated May 24th, 1867, states that quot; no cattle plague had existed

quot; for somo montlis past in tho district of Kamigsberg quot; or the udjacont relish proviuecs.quot;

Througliout tho year 1867 Prussia sceins, by tiio vigilance sho continuously exercisod, to huve jiro-vonted the cattle plague from crossing her frontior, notwithstanding its existence in sovoral of tlio states of Central Germany, and in other countries adjacent (o her territory.

As has boon previously stated, the reguliitions both lor tho suppression and the prevention of tho plague in Prussia arc very complete, so that tho disease rarely exists long together in any part of tho king�dom. In substance, these regulations dlffbr lint little in any of the German states.

Bavaria and South and Ckntbal (iEint vnv.

During tho latter part of April 1867, the cattle plague suddenly made its appearanco tit Unter Steinach in Upper Franconia, Havaria, having been introduced, it is believed, by some Anstriau cattle brought by railway. This outbreak forms a remark�able coincidence with tho reappearance of the plague in London, which is also believed to have depended on the importation of some white Austrian cattle. At all events, some animals of this breed are known to have died of the plague within a few days of their arrival hero. Reference to the part of this report which relates to tho existence of tho plague in Austria and Moravia, will show that both these countries were infected in April 1867, so that, considering the great number of animals which are exported to England from Moravia, it may be a ques�tion as to which country tho plague was really im�ported on that occasion.

At the outset of the disease in Upper Franconia, 36 animals were attacked, and these being quickly sacrificed, it was hoped that the further progress of the plague would be arrested. The contrary, however, proved to be tho case, as the disease extended to the contiguous farms and villages. By about the middle of May the plague had manifested itself in Lower Fran�conia, and the Duchies of Cobnrg, Saxo Meiningen, Saxe Weimar, Gotha, and other parts of Thuringia. Military cordons were drawn around the infected villages, and Bavarian troops kept guard over the Thuringian border. Tho Wcrra railway was closed against cattle transit through Prussia, and Prussian detachments were sent to enforce the regulations. Fairs and markets were suppressed. Persons entering or departing from infected villages were subjected to disinfection, and all cattle which had been exposed to the contagion were slaughtered.

By these and allied measures the plague was so much got under in about a month that some relaxation of the restrictions was allowed. Isolated cases, how�ever, still occurred, several of which could not be satisfactorily accounted for. It was thought that the disease was conveyed by flies, which wore at tho time very abundant. The exterminating measures were continued, and the disease finally suppressed by about the third week of July.

Rhenish Bavaria (the Palatinatk). Shortly after tho extermination of the plague in Bavaria and tho German duchies, the disease broke, out in the Palatinate. The first cases were reported on August 28th, 1867, and were supposed to depend on the purchase of Austrian cattle on August 20tli, at a fair at Bilighoim. Prompt measures of suppression were had recourse to, which, combined with innne-quot;diate paymentquot; of compensation to the owners of slaughtered cattle, thus preventing the concealment of suspicious cases, soon cleared the district of the disease. On October 1st the province was officially declared to be free from the malady.

Italy.

Italy proper appears to have escaped all outbreaks of the cattle plague in 1867, but in the month of May of this year reports were rifo that the disease had broken out in Catania, Sicily. These reports were subsequently contradicted, and Sicily was believed to 17966.

bo free from tho plague until August, wlicn tho disease manifested itself with great violence in Girgcnti, Tho attacks were chiefly conlinod to tho proviuee of Gir�gcnti, but they wore so virulent as to destroy almost every animal in tho district.

A despatch from Palermo, dated August 30th 1867, states, that out of a herd of 500, only 12 animals romaluedj the others having tmcoumbod to the plague. No aecount of tho way the disease had gained admis�sion to Sicily 1ms been received ; and as Venice, Aneona, and other places, as well as the Papal States, are reported to have been free of the plague, it. is most likely that the disease was imported into Sicily from some of the Dalmatian ports.

Turkey.

The information received from Turkey commonces in November 1866, at which time precautionary measures were in full force in the Principalities. They, however, had proved insufficient against the spread�ing of the plague. By the end of April 1867, and onwards in the year, the malady prevailedin Moldavia, Walochia, Bosnia, Servia, Bulgaria, and Roumelia. Indeed, no division of Turkey seems to have remained free of the. disease, excepting Albania and Tbessaly, and probably also Montenegro and Herzegovina. The plague penetrated on this occasion into Asia Minor, and even as far as Syria, showing itself as early as March or April 1867 at Aloppo,][and many other places.

At Dinrbekir, Armenia, and also at Scnla Nova on the Archipelago, the disease is reported to have destroyed a large number of goats as well as cattle, lu August tho plague still existed in the district of Samsoon, and early in September a severe outbreak took place at Silivri, on the north coast of the sea ofquot; Marmora. In November 1867 a report from Constantinople stated that the disease was extending along the Euphrates, and attacking both oxen and buftidoes. The district of Smyrna, however, according to a despatch received from Her Majesty's Consul General, was at that time tree from the plague.

Egypt.

The Irallic in cattle across the Black Sea, from Southern Russia to Turkey in Asia, is a fertile source of mischief both to Syria and Egypt. The latter named country, as has already been shown, suf�fered severely in 1863-4 ; but subsequently thereto, and down to the end ofl 867, Egypt remained free from any other outbreak of the plague.

In March 1867, however, in consequence of the wide diffusion of the cattle plague in Turkey and Asia Minor, Egypt forbad the importation of cattle from any infected district, from and after the 1st of April, and also decreed that all animals which arrived in the meantime should undergo a quarantine of 15 days.

The Z�rich Vetebinarv Cokgress.

In connexion with the spread of the cattle plague during 1866-7, it has to be stated, that in the month of September 1867 an International Veterinary Con�gress was held at Zurich, similar to the one which has been previously alluded to as having been inaugu�rated at Vienna in I860. The meeting was largely attended by delegates from the various continental Governments, about 170 being present. England was represented by Professor Sirnonds and Mr. W. Ernes, M.H.C. V.S. The discussion on the cattle plague occu�pied the greater part of the time allotted to the daily meetings, and the resolutions which were ultimately arrived at relative to this disease were :�

1 si. quot; That the experience of the last; two years lias not led to any moditication of the views previously eniertainod by the veterinary profession relative to tho nature of cattle plague, while (he capability of the infection being conveyed to all oilier ruminating animals has been fully conlirmed.quot;

2(1. quot; That the resolution agreed upon by the colllaquo; gross of Viemift, as to 10 days' quarantine being sulli-dient for animals coming from Russia into Western Europe, he confirmed ; but that liuasla be requested ,o use every means of preventing the passage over her K k

Tho dot-nils of tho system of thus stamping out tho disease should, however, be left with tho governments of the respec�tive countries.quot;

4tli. quot; That the sumo measures which are necessary to prevent the spread of cattle plague among bovine animals should bo applied to sheep, gouts, and other ruminants.quot;

5th. quot; That as no new disinfectants, more offlcacious (hau those in ordinary use, have been discovered, the choice of those agents should bo loft with persons competent to form an opinion of their respective value/'

6th. quot; That it is absolutely necessary that all railway trucks used for the conveyance of cattle should bo regularly cleansed and disinfected ; and in order that this precaution may bo properly accomplished, tho railway authorities should bo compelled to place the trucks, upon due notice, at the disposal of tho owners of cattle, that these persons may disinfect them.quot;

7th. quot; That with a view to tho adoption of measures to eradicate tho pest, the Imperial government of Russia be solicited to invite tho othor governments of Europe to join in appointing an International Commission of Veterinary Surgeons, for the purpose of investigating the origin and causes of the cattle plague on the Russian Steppes, where the disease is persistent, and where it is supposed to have a spon�taneous origin.quot;

8th. quot; That tho utilization of the llesh of animals exposed to the infection, or of those killed in districts or places where the plague prevails, must depend upon tho extent of the disease and other local circumstances,

and that for these reasons it is not desirable to lay down any precise rules for the guidance of tho dillercnt governments.quot;

With reference to these conclusions, it. may be ob�served that the 1st and the 4th have a special bear�ing on the liability of sheep and goats to the plague, n subject which has been much debated in this country, and is still disbelieved by many persons. The congress, however, was unanimous in expressing its opinion on the susceptibility of those animals to plague, and also on the absolute necessity of applying tho stampiug-out system in all its details to them as well as to cattlo.

The 7th resolution, namely, that tho Imperial Government of Russia bo solicited to invite tho other governments of Europe to appoint an Interna�tional Commission of Veterinary Surgeons to inquire into the origin of the plague on the Steppes with a view to the adoption of measures for the eradica�tion of the disease, is one which, in a purely scientific point of view, can scarcely be over estimated. It may, however, be doubted whether much practical benefit would result from tho labours of the Com�mission, even if local causes should bo discovered which would explain why the Steppes furnish an abiding place for the disease. Our present knowledge of these extensive plains would seem to show that little can be done to alter their condition, as to herbage or water supply; things which probably would be found to exercise a powerful influence over tho health of the cattlo. It has long since been established that the cattlo plague spreads only by contagion in Western Europe, and that its period of incubation is very limited. It follows, therefore, that whether tho disease bo spon�taneously developed or not in the Steppes, benefit can alone result from not allowing Steppe cattlo to enter countries bordering on Russia until tfie period of incubation has passed, and proof afforded that the animals are free from infection.

Introduction of Cattle Plague into England in 1865; its Progress and Eesults.

Although different opinions are entertained respect�ing the manner of the introduction of cattle plague into England iu 1865, it is nevertheless fully ad�mitted by that no such disease existed hero prior to the mouth of June of that year. A very complete inquiry into all the circumstances, and a careful exami�nation of evidence obtained from every available source, did not, however, enable so entirely an im�partial a body as tho Royal Commission to pronounce decisively upon the matter. Setting aside the theory of the spontaneous origin of tho plague in tho London dairies as a self-evident fallacy, there remain three ways of accounting for the appearance of the affection in this country.

First, the introduction of the disease by means of the now celebrated Revel cargo of cattle, landed at Hull on May 29tli, 1865. Secondly, the statement, iiceepted by Dr. Lcthcby, and also by Dr. Playfair and some other members of the Royal Commission, that some cattle imported from Holland had probably brought in the disease, as the plague had existed there in May 1865, having been introduced by cattlo from Hungary. Thirdly, the probability that the affection was brought direct from Eastern Europe by Hun�garian or Galician cattle, which were being imported at that time into this country.

The facts, so far as they are known, which have reference to these suggestions may be thus described.

laquo;. 'The, Revel cargo. The animals making up this cargo consisted of ,'521 oxen and 329 sheep. Thoy had been purchased in the Russian province of Kslhonia, and were part of a total of 800 oxen and 800 sheep for which n contract had been made by Mr. Bnrcholl) as representative of Messrs. Honck and Uaker, cattle importers, with the Esthonian Agricul�tural (Society. It was stipulated that each ox should weigh not less than 1,000 lbs. live weight, and that tho whole should be brought to England in two lots with

as little delay as possible between tho shipping of each cargo. It is admitted that no cattle plague existed in Esthonia at the time ; nevertheless just before the shipping of tho first moiety a difficulty, having reference to the individual weight of tho animals sprung up between tho contracting parties, which may explain the probable introduction of tho plague by this cargo. It appears that some of the cattle were objected to as being below the weight agreed upon, and therefore, in order to fulfil their part of the bargain, the vendors obtained a number of animals of the required weight from cattle dealers, and had them brought down in waggons to Revel. Many of these animals sustained injuries on the journey which rendered them unfit for shipment, a circum�stance which led to further difficulties in the matter. Ultimately, however, according to the evidence of Mr. Burcholl, who purchased the cattle, 13 oxen were selected out of 46 which had been thus obtained, and these, added to tho animals furnished by tho Society direct from the feeders in Esthonia, made up the cargo to 321. No satisfactory account has been given rela�tive to the part of Russia from which tho dealers obtained the 46 cattle, although it was said that they had come from the neighbourhood of St. Petersburg. Even if it were established that this were so, and that the animals had been brought from a part of the empire in which the plague did not then prevail, it would be little or no proof of their freedom from the disease. All persons who are familiar with the movements of cattle in Russia know full well that largo droves mo almost continuously being brought from the infected districts of the south to the Baltic provinces, and that the intervals between the outbreaks of tho plague in these and othor divi�sions of the Russian Empire are comparatively very short. Even the lioyal Commission reported, that the cattle plague had prevailed very extensively in

some of the western provinces of Russin, particularly in Kovno and Volhyniu from January to July 1804.

Further, it is known that the dlsoaso again broko out in Kovno in November 1H(gt;4, and that the foar of its introduction into ImisIi'i'ii Prussia ul that timo and again early in 18(gt;5 led to the adoption of severe measures of precaution by the Prussian governmcut.

It has been furtlior affirmed that the plague existed near St. Petersburg in the latter part of 1864, and tliat it was not exterminated for many weeks. On these several occasions 109,476 animals 'arc reported as having been attacked, out of-which 104,714 died.

With reference to the general health of the animals, 640 in all, which were brought together at Revel for a selection to bo made from, Mr. Burchell asserts that after making his choice he sold four in the yard, two for having the foot and mouth disease anil two for being sick, lie also says that one ox died in the yard. Again, ho states that another animal was ill on hoard the vessel, and that be gave it repeated doses of brandy. The symptoms arc described as consisting chiefly of loathing of food, cessation of rumination, diarrhoea, ami a disposition to keep recumbent. This animal recovered, and ultimately came to London with others of the cargo.

The quot; Tonningquot; steam ship, which brought the cattle, loft Revel on May 23d and arrived at Hull May 29th ; six days only being occupied in the passage. On being debarked the animals were examined by the Customs inspectors, both of whom were present, but solely on account of the large number of the animals, and not, as has been asserted, because a more strict examination was ordered by the Customs in conso-quence of the cattle having come from Russia. At that time the very objectionable system prevailed of examining animals immediately on arrival, and when they wore distressed and fatigued by the voyage. Hence any symptoms of suffering which might bo present wore pretty sure to be put down to the pri�vations and worry of the passage, and their true cause thus overlooked. Excepting the examination which was made at Hull, none of the Revel cattle were subsequently seen by a professional person with a view to an investigation of the state of their health. At Hull 146 were sold for immediate slaughter, and were forthwith forwarded by rail to Wakofield, Man�chester, and Derby. The remaining 175, including the animal which had been ill on the voyage, were sent to London, and on their arrival were placed in lairs near the cattle market on May 31 st. On the following day, with the exception of 20, they were all taken into the Metropolitan market and sold for slaughter. The 20 animals alluded to were forwarded direct to Gosport by the contractor for supplying meat to the troops, and besides these, seven others, bought in the market, were sent to Portsmouth by another person; both lots on the same day. These animals, as well as those sold in the Cattle Market which wont either to Whitcchapel or to Newgate market after pur�chase, were killed within a day or two of this time.

It will thus be seen that on the eleventh or twelfth day after leaving Revel the whole of the Russian cattle wore dead ; and as it is admitted that 308 out of the 321 could not have been exposed to the infection of cattle plaguo until being mixed with the others in Revel, and as experience has shown that out of this number probably not more than 10 or 12 would contract the disease on a first exposure, supposing that all were susceptible to the infection, not having been pre�viously the subjects of the plague, the non-discovery of the disease in the Revel cattle cannot be accepted as a satisfactory proof of their freedom from the malady. It is true that admitting the sick auimid on board the quot; Tonningquot; to have been the subject of the plague, continuous exposure would lead to a much larger iinmber of the cattle becoming infected, but then with many of these it must bo observed that tiie average period of incubation was barely completed at the ilmo of their being exposed for sale in the metropolitan market or sent to the slaughtcr-housof) of

the butchers, The entire facts of the case cannot thei'�fori! bo considered as being irrccoucihible with the opinion that the cuttle plaguo was brought to England by the Eevol cargo, If otherwise, (he coin-eidenee of the complete estaldisliment of the plague in the metropolis within 19 days of Russian cattle being seid in the Metropolitan Market, which for the llrst time in the history of free importations of cattle had come viu the Ihillic direct to this country, is the more remarkable.

b. The opinion that the disease was imported from Holland receives its chief support from a statement made by Mr, Sehrader, veterinary surgeon, IFamburg, which was forwarded to the Foreign OIHco by Her Majesty's Consul General at Hamburg, and was used by the Royal Commission. The extract from the despatch is is to the effect that Mr. Schmier, whom the Consul General describes as being quot;an intelligent quot; veterinary surgeon specially employed by the Ilam-quot; burg Government to examine cattle and sheep quot; shipped for foreign ports, had informed him that quot; ho thinks it most probable that the murrain had quot; boon introduced into England by importations from quot; Ilollanil. He states that in the course of the last quot; spring a, considerable number of Hungnrian cattle quot; were conveyed from Vienna into Holland through quot; Grermnny by land carriage and even navigation ; quot; that at the same timo the rinderpest had broken quot; out in the neighbourhood of Vionna in the village quot; of Florisdorf, and that in the month of May a quot; number of cattle at or near Utrecht in Holland quot; had been attacked by it.quot;

Subsequent events render it almost a matter of certainty that the disease, which affected the cattle in Utrecht was not the cattle plague. It is well known that the plague did not manifest itself in Utrecht until some time after its introduction into the neigh�bourhood of Rotterdam in July 1865, and it was not until August that the Dutch Government had any knowledge of the existence of the plague in any part of the country.

If the theory of Mr. Schroder had been the correct one the plague should have spread from Utrecht in May as the centre of infection instead of Rotterdam in July. Had this been the case there cannot be a doubt that the Government would have been able to have traced its commencement, and further it is highly ' probable that the cattle in North Holland, Geldorland, and 0veryssel would hayefallcna sacrifice to the malady much earlier and to a far greater extent than they arc known to have done. Resides these objections to the theory, it has been fully proved that during the latter half of 1865, the whole of 1866, and the greater part of 1867, all the German States through which the infected cattle must have come to reach Holland from Austria were perfectly free of the plague. In another part of this Report it is also shown that Holland originally received the cattle plague from England, and that from Holland the disease travelled toB Iginm and France, the only countries in Western luirope which suffered from the outbreak of 1865.

c. The third suggestion of the introduction of the plague by Hungarian or Galiciau cattle amounts only to a possibility, it is unsustained by any direct oi- positive evidence, sind not oidy so, but indirectly it has been shown that it is scarcely probable the plague could have come hero in such a manner. It is admitted that both Hungary and Galicia frequently sniferfrom the ravages of cattle plague, and it is known that they were infected during 1865, especially in the latter half of the year. This fact, nevertheless, is no proof of the transmission of the malady from either of these countries to England in the month of June.

The passage of infected animals over the Prussian frontier is carefully guarded against, and it rarely occurs without at once communicating the disease to the cattle of that country. The non-exislencc of the plague therefore in any part of the Prussian dominions, or of the. German States during the year I860, militates aw much, or even more against this view of its direct introduction as it does against its

The fact of the cattle plague having broken out on Juno 27th, 18S5, among the dairy cows belonging to Mrs, JS^Ticliolls of Islington, lias never been doubted, and it is quite certain that the animals originally attacked, both in her dairy and almost immediately afterwards at Mr. Baldwin's, Hackney, were English cows which had been purchased in the Metropolitan Market on June 19th, thus conclusively proving that by this time the plague was, established in the metropolis. A. prior outbreak to the one at Islington has been said to have occurred. The particulars of the case are as follows:�Two Dutch cows, purchased at the same time, viz. June 19th, in the market, were removed to Lambeth, and on June 21st one of them was attacked with a disease from tho effects of which it died on June 24. A bull standing in the shod where the cows were placed was taken ill on June 23d, and was sent to the knackers on June 26tli. Immediately after the occurrence of these cases, tho owner sold the remainder of tho cows in that shed, eleven in number und thus removed the only evidence which could have been obtained of the true nature of the disease. It may he reasonably doubted, however, whether the animals were the subjects of cattle plague ; for supposing the Dutch cow to have been affected with this disease on tho 21st June, or even on the 19tli ofthat month, tho bull would hardly have shown marked symptoms of it on June 23d, or only Jour diii/.s after the purchase of the animals which are presumed to Lave brought the plague into the shed. Besides this negative fact, it is to be remarked that none of the other cows on the premises suffered from any disease at that time. Subsequently, how�ever, viz. on August I6th, the cattle plague did break out on these premises, but among some cows in another shed. This outbreak could, however, in no way have been tho I'esult of infection which had been introduced two months previously, even supposing the plaguo to have boon then brought into the premises.

Concurrently with the existence of the cattle plague at Islington and Hackney the disease appeared in Wiiitechnpol, among some cows belonging to Mr. Dewson, cow dealer and dairyman. This out�break is also said to have preceded the one at Mrs. Nicholls', but a strict inquiry lias shown that the disease was tirst detected on July 1st, or three days subsequently to its having been recognized at Mrs. Nicholls'.

In the conduct of his business, Mr. Dewson pur�chased cows in the country week by week and had them removed to his premises near to Great Ailie Street, Whitechapel, to await their being sent to the Metropolitan Market. The unsold animals were after each market-day sent back to tho premises, and in this way the infection was carried from the Market into his sheds. At the time of the outbreak there were 15 milking cows in stock, 13 of which were at once disposed of. Two are said to have escaped an attack.

It has already been shown that the cattle plague undoubtedly appeared in tho last week of June, in Mrs. Nicholls' dairy at Islington, and also at Mr. Bald�win's at Hackney. The attention of Mr. Priestman, M.�.C.V.S., was first called to the cattle at Islington, and in consequence of the peculiarities which he observed in the progress of the disease he was induced to send some morbid parts taken from a cow which bad died on July 4th, to the Royal Veterinary College. Tho impression at the time in the mind of the proprietor and others was that the cows were suffer�ing from poison.

The post mortem examination was made by Pro�fessor Simonds, who detected such remarkable lesions, that he at once visited the premises for the purpose of investigating the whole case. This investigation forthwith resulted in the discovery that the maladv was identical with the cattle plaguo of Bussia and Eastern Europelaquo; At the lirst visit to the dairy it was found that 12 cows were then ill, and that 22 others, out of an original stock of 93, had died or been killed, with one exception, since June 27tli. The exception was a fat cow which had been sent to the Metropolitan Market. The opinion of the nature of the disease received immediate confirmation by the occurrence of cases in other dairies in different parts of tho Metropolis. By the 14tli July the plaguo had been recognized in College Street, Camdoii Town ; Eagle Street, Holborn ; Percival Street, Goswell Road ; Middlesex Street, Somers Town; Eversholt Street, St. Pancras ; Cumberland Market, Maryle-hono ; Liverpool Street, Islington ; Buckinghnin Road and Hertford lioad, Kingsland; and also at Dalston and Hcndou in the vicinity of tho Metropolis.

On the lOth of July information was given to the Clerk of the Council of tho existence of the cattle plague in London, and by his special request a letter

was written to him by Professor Simomls rooording the fact on July 14th, Instructions were immediately given to keep watch over the disease, ami to report day by day as to its progress, amp;o.

It was subsequently aseertaincd, however, that the disease had no sooner boon estublished in London than it spread to four distant, counties, namely, Nor�folk, Suffolk, Shropshire, and Devonshire. This rapid extension of the plague to the country depended on the removal of animals from the Metropolitan Cuttle Market, which at that time was largely used araquo; a store stock market.

In Norfolk the plague appeared on July 1st in four different places, viz., Whitwell, Thimblcthorpe, Trunch, and North Walsham, the introduction of the infection in each case being duo to the purchase of some bullocks at Norwich, which had been sent thereto from the Metropolitan Market. In Suifolk the disease was observed at Beccles en July 5th, traceable also to cattle sent to Norwich from London. In Shropshire it appeared on July 6th, at Tyrly Castle, nonr Market Drayton ; and in Devonshire on July 8th, at Egg Buckland, near Plymouth. In both these instances also] the infected animals wont direct from the Metropolitan Market to the respective places.

Although the experience thus early gained left no doubt that contagion was the chief if not the only cause of the extension of the cattle plague, it was determined to test the point by direct experiment. For this purpose a Welsh cow in perfect health, which had been kept at the Eoyal Veterinary College since the middle part of December 1864, was placed on July 13th in a closed stable in that institution with one of Mrs. Nicholl's cows suffering from the disease. The infected animal having been attacked three days pre�viously, was in an advanced stage of the malady ; she, however, survived until the third day afterwards, and during the whole of this time the two animals were kept together. The experimental cow on being re�moved was placed in a stable on the opposite side of the college, perfectly isolated from all other animals, and carefully watched. No evidence of ill health was observed until the morning of the seventh day of remo�val, when the groom on going to the stable found the animal in a remarkably dull and dispirited condition. The extremities and surface of the body were cold, par�ticularly along the upper part of the neck and course of the spine, the hair was erect, the eyes staring and expressive of much bodily suffering. She refused both water and food. During the day the symptoms of disease became more marked, and loft no doubt as to the nature of her illness. The case proved a remarkably protracted one, as the animal bore np against the disease until the 11th day from the attack. She was seen during the time by many members of the medical and veterinary professions, some of whom, and among them Mr. Simon of the Medical Department of the Council Office, were also present at the post mortem examination. The long continuance of the disease led to the lesions of cattle, plague being perfected by reaching their last stage, and consequently, for the first time in the investigation of the disease, ulceration of the mucous membrane of the intestinal canal was recognized. This fact, together with others brought to light in the autopsy, tended materially to elucidate the pathology of the plague.

As was to be anticipated, the attacks in the country continued to increase, so that by the end of July, the plague had established itself in the following counties, in addition to the four previously named. The out�break in each was observed at the undermentioned dates :�

first Order, which set forth that quot;If at the laquo;lato of quot; the publication of this Order in tho 'London quot; Gazette' there shall bo any cow, heiler, bull, biil-quot; Jock, or ox labouring under any contagious or quot; infectious disorder in the possession or custody of quot; any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of quot; any milkman, or milkwoman, or vendor orpurveyor quot; of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within quot; tho city of London or within the limits of the quot; metropolitan police district, or if at any time hero-quot; after, while this present Order shall continuo in quot; force aad unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, quot; or ox, being in the possession or custody of any quot; such person as aforesaid within the said city of quot; London, or within the metropolitan police district, quot; shall bo seized or attacked with, or be found kbour-quot; ing or suffering under, any such contagioua or quot; infectious disorder, notice of tho existence of such quot; disorder, or of the first appearance of such disorder quot; in or among the cattle belonging to or in tho cus-quot; tody of any such person as aforesaid, shall hnme-quot; diatcly thereupon bo given by the person in whose quot; possession or custody such diseased animals or quot; animal shall be, to the Clerk of Her Majesty's Most quot; Honourable Privy Council in waiting fit the office quot; of Her Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, hi quot; the county of Middlesex ; and it shall bo lawful for quot; the said Clerk of Her Majesty's Privy Council, quot; and for all such persons as he shall by writing quot; under his hand authorize in that behalf, thereupon, quot; and at all reasonable times thereafter, to inspect quot; and examine all or any such diseased animals or quot; animal, and to report to the Lords of Her Ma-quot; jesty's Privy Council all such information and quot; particulars as to the nature or character of such quot; disorder as may seem to him expedient, for the quot; purpose of enabling proper regulations to bo made quot; for preventing or checking tho further propagation quot; and increase of such disorder.

In accordance with instructions received from the Clerk of the Council, a communication was forwarded to him, dated 3d August, containing the following suggestions for arresting the progress of the plague.

1.nbsp; That all newly-purchased cattle of every kind be kept apart from others for a period of not less than 12 to 14 days.

2.nbsp; That every cattle-owner keep a strict watch over his stock, so as to recognize the first indications of the disease, and as soon as any are perceived to call to his assistance the professional aid of a veterinary surgeon. (The early symptoms of the disease arc usually a remarkably dull and dispirited condition of the animal, which will stand with its head hanginc; down, cars drawn back, and coal staring, refusing all food, and occasionally shivering. A watery diddinrge flows from the eyes and nostrils. The skin is hot. hue sometimes chilly, the temperature varying from time to time. The extremities are cold ; the breath�ing short and quick, and frequently accompanied with moaning as an indication of pain. A slight cough is sometimes present. The inner part of ihn upper lip and roof of the mouth is generally reddened, and often covered with raw-looking spots. The bowels aro occasionally constipated, but in most instances diarrhuea soon sets in, the evacuations being eliniy and very frequently of a dirty yellow colour. The prostration of strength is groat, the animal staggering, when made to move. In milch cows the secretion of milk is rapidly diminished, and soon ceases altogether,)

3.nbsp; That all infected cattle be instantly removed from the healthy, and placed in siluations as far from them as possible, and that, as a further precaution, the healthy bo washed and cleansed,

4.nbsp; That no cattle the subjects of thLs disease be k 3

11.nbsp; nbsp;That no store stock, milking cows, or cattle of any kind which have been exposed to tho influence of the infection by being located with the diseased, ho sent to any fair or market in loss time than a month after such exposure; and that in all cases in which it is determined to arrest the progress of the disease by killing animals exposed to the infection, they, being at tho time believed to be fit for human food, be sent direct to the slaughter-houso, if not killed on tho premises of the owner.

(Signed) Jas. B. Simonds.

An increase in tho attacks continuing to take place, a second Order of Council was issued on August 11th, which after reciting the provisions of the Order of July 24th decreed :

quot; 1. That this Order shall extend to all tho parts quot; of England and Wales not comprised in the said quot; recited Order.

quot; 2. That in this Order tho word ' animal' shall bo quot; interpreted to mean any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, quot; ox, or calf.

quot; 3. If at the date of the publication of this Order quot; in the * London Gazette' there shall be any animal quot; labouring under any such disorder, in the possession quot; or custody of any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairy-quot; woman, or of any milkman, or milkwoman, or �quot; vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in quot; cattle, or farmer or person in possession of cattle, *' whatsoever^-, within those parts of the United King-quot; dorn to which this Orders refers, or if at any time quot; hereafter, while this present Order shall continue quot; in force and unrevoked, any animal, being in tho quot; possession or custody of any such person as afore-*' said within tho last-mentioned parts of the United quot; Kingdom, shall bo seized or attacked with, or bo quot; found labouring or suffering under, any such dis-quot; order, notice of tho existence of such disorder, or of quot; tho first appearance of such disorder in or among quot; the animals belonging to, or in the custody of, any quot; such person as aforesaid, shall immediately there-

quot; upon bo given by tho person in whoso possession quot; or custody sueh diseased animals or animal shall bo, quot; if such person shall reside within any corporate quot; town, to tho mayor or other principal officer of tho quot; corporation, or, if elsewhere, to tho clerk of tho quot; justices acting in and for the potty sessional division quot; of tho county, or district in the nature of a county, quot; in which he resides ; and, upon receipt of such quot; notice, or upon any other information which quot; satisfies him or them that such disease has ap-quot; poared within his or their jurisdiction respectively, quot; it shall bo lawful for such mayor or other principal quot; officer, and for tho said justices, if he or they shall quot; think fit, from time to time to appoint some voto-quot; rinary surgeon, or other person duly qualified, to quot; be an inspector, for the purpose of carrying into quot; effect the following rules and regulations within tho quot; corporate town or potty sessional division for which quot; he shall have been appointed, and the same authority quot; may, from time to time, revoke such appointment.

quot; 4. Every such inspector shall have the power of quot; entering upon and inspecting any premises in or quot; upon which he has reason to believe that there is quot; any animal labouring under such disease, from time quot; to time, us often as he may think necessary.

quot; 5. Every person within any district for which an quot; inspector shall have been appointed as aforesaid quot; upon whoso premises there shall bo any animal quot; labouring under such disorder, shall, as far as quot; practicable, keep such animal separate and apart quot; from all other animals; and no person shall, with-quot; out the licence of such inspector, send to market, quot; or remove from his premises, any such animal, or quot; any animal which has been in the same shed or quot; stable, or has been herded, or been in contact, with quot; any animal labouring under such disorder.

quot;6. Every animal within any such district as aforo-quot; said dying of such disorder or slaughtered on quot; account thereof, shall be buried, if practicable, on ^li the premises where it has died, or boon slaughtered, quot; or (if this he not practicable) as near thereto as quot; may be convenient ; and if such animal be not quot; buried with its skin, its skin shall be disinfected in quot; such manner as the inspector of the district may quot; direct.

quot; 7. Every person within any such district on quot; whose premises there shall be any animal so quot; labouring as aforesaid shall cleanse and disinfect quot; such premises in such manner as the inspector of � such district shall direct.

quot;8. Every person offending against this Order, quot; shall for every such offence forfeit any sum not quot; exceeding 201. which the justices before whom he quot; or she shall be she shall be convicted of such offence quot; may think fit to impose.quot;

A third Order also of the same date applied the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th provisions of tho second Order to the city of London and the Metropolitan police district.

By a fourth Order of Council bearing date the 18th of August the provisions which had been made for England and Wales were extended to Scotland.

Even before tho date at which we have arrived in the history of the visitation, tho liveliest interest had been created, not only in tho United Kingdom but on the Continent, as to tho real nature of the disease. Veterinary surgeons from nearly every part of Great Britain were deputed by local agricultural societies and farmers' clubs to study tho disease by visiting the cow sheds and slaughter-houses of London. Deputations and commissions began likewise to arrive in London. The first in point of time was from Ireland.

About the 9th of August Professor Ferguson arrived, being commissioned by the Irish Executive quot; to investigate the nature of the cattle disease now quot; rnging in the Metropolis, and tho best means of quot; preventing its introduction into ireland.quot; Good opportunities were aflbrded tho Professor of studying the pathology of the disease at the Royal Veterinary College. Having availed himself of these and other

fnoilUios for fullllliiiK his mission, tho Profbssor aoon canio to the conclusion that tho only way to provent tho disoiisu flnding its way Into Ireland whs to prevent tho exportation of cattle from Groat Britain.

In his report ho says, quot; 1 wish it to be distinctly quot; understood by tho Irish Exocutivo that I regard quot; tho total prohibition of cattle importation into quot; Ireland, as lonp; us thoro is tho slightest trace of quot; the disease in England, or those states having tho quot; disease in thorn, from which that country imports quot; cattle, as tho only means that huvo any probability quot; of preventing tho introduction of the cattle plague quot; into Ireland. I am thereby adverse to any less quot; stringent measure, such as quaraiitine.quot;

Agreeably witli those views an Order of Council was passed on August 25th to the effect tiiat no cattle were to be removed quot; from any port or place quot; within that part of the United Kingdom called quot; Great Britain, to any port or place within that part quot; of the United Kingdom called Ireland.quot;

In tbo interim between these dates, namely, on tho ) 8th of August, another letter suggesting additional preventives, and repeating several of the recommenda�tions contained in the communication of August 3rd, was sent to the Clerk of the Council, and again by his special request. It was to tho following eftbet:� Royal Veterinary College, Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 18th August 1865.

I A.M sorry to have to inform you that up to the present time there is no diminution in the spread of the Cattle Plague, and that, under those unfortunate circumstances, I would suggest to individual cattle owners,�in addition to tho regulations of the Order in Council of 11th August 1865,�the absolute ne�cessity of adopting the following precautions for the purpose of arresting the progress of the disease :

1.nbsp; nbsp;That all persons should abstain as much as possible from tho purchase of quot; store stock quot; in fairs and markets, and should not purchase from cattle dealers without a warranty against the disease ; aud that all newly-purchased cattle of every kind bo kept apart from others for a period of not less than 12 to 14 days.

2.nbsp; That cattle, the subjects of this disease, should not be allowed to remain in any meadow or pasture field, unless they can be perfectly isolated from all other animals, as well as kept at a distance of not less than 100 yards from all roads along which cattle may be driven.

3.nbsp; nbsp;That in districts where there are unenclosed commons on which cattle, the property of different owners, are pastured, no milch cows, or other animals of tho ox tribe, should be allowed to travel, day by day, to and from the common, during the existence of the cattle plague in the neighbourhood ; and that in flic event of the disease prevailing on adjacent farms, or places contiguous to the common, the cattle pas�turing thereon should be removed, as soon as possible, to the premises of their respective owners.

4.nbsp; nbsp;That every animal, which is violently attacked with tho disease, be killed and buried without delay, and that the skin be placed in some disinfecting fluid before being sent oil' tho premises.

5.nbsp; That no animals be allowed to go near to the burial places until several weeks Lave elapsed.

6.nbsp; That no person who has the charge of the sick cattle be allowed to go near the healthy ones, and that all indirect communication by dogs or other animals between the infected and the healthy cattle be strictly prevented.

7.nbsp; That all healthy cattle, after removal from the diseased, bo well washed and cleansed.

8.nbsp; That no fodder or straw which has been used about infected cattle, be taken to other animals, or even thrown into the fold-yard, or upon the manure heap, until it be first incorporated with chloride of lime or some other disinfecting powder. When prac�ticable it is desirable that all such fodder and straw should be burnt.

9.nbsp; That all manure in the sheds or stables occupied by diseased cattlo be daily sprinkled with some clis-

iufoctant, and that no evacuations of tho diseased bo removed without being first thoroughly disinfected.

10.nbsp; That In all eases in which it is determined to slaughter animals which have been on a farm or pre�mises where tho disease has broken out, but which animals are believed at the time to bo healthy, and fit for human food, they be sent, with all duo care and caution, direct to the nearest slaughter-house, if not killed on the premises, and as a further precaution their skins bo placed in some disinfecting fluid.

11.nbsp; That although experience has shown all animals of the ox tribe, whatever may bo their age, sex, or condition, to bo susceptible of tho action of the infec�tion, still it is very desirable that every cause which tends to weaken the constitution should be carefully avoided. Protection from inclement weather, supply�ing animals with nutritious food, such as cake or corn, and especially with pure water, are imperatively demanded at a juncture like tho present.

Several of the foregoing suggestions, as you are aware, are embodied in my former letter on this subject; others of them, however, are new, and some are modified to meet tho provisions of tho last Order in Council.

This communication was largely circulated through the public press and by other means, and doubtless tended somewhat to keep the malady in check.

Professor Ferguson's visit was quickly followed by a commission, representing the quot;North German Lloydquot; at Nordenhamm, consisting of two veterinary surgeons, Messieurs G. T. Rippen and H. Fasting, who had instructions quot; to examine as closely as possible quot; into the epidemic cattle disease raging in and around quot; London ; also carefully to observe the treatment of quot; cattlo upon the vessel during the voyage, upon quot; arrival, and at the time of debarkation.quot; In tho report which these gentlemen sent in on their return, after stating that quot; the disease was of a typhoid quot; character having great resemblance to the cattlo quot; plague�rinderpest�prevalent in Russia,quot; they remark that, without venturing to express any decided opinion upon the question of its origin, quot; wo did state quot; frankly and confidently that this epidemic disease quot; could not have been introduced from Germany, and quot; more especially not from Oldenburg nor from quot; Bremen.quot;

A third commission in order of date came from France. It consisted of Professor Bouley of tho Imperial Veterinary School at Alfort, and Professor Chauvoau of Lyons. In a communication to the quot; Imperial Academy of Medicine quot; on August 29,1865, made by Professor Bouley in the interim of his first and second visit to England, he says, quot; A fortnight quot; ago, when I arrived in England, great incertitude quot; prevailed in France from what appeared in the quot; English journals, as to tho nature of the disease. quot; The first Orders which emanated from the Privy quot; Council seemed to lead to the supposition that they quot; were ignorant of the nature of the malady they had quot; to deal with. However, Professor Simonds, of tho quot; Royal Veterinary College, was not at all deceived quot; on that point. Twelve cows had been suddenly quot; attacked at a dairy by a strange malady, and it was quot; believed that they had been poisoned.quot;

quot; Professor Simonds, on being consulted, had rccog-quot; nized the certain signs of tho contagious typhus of quot; horned cattle, the rinderpest of the Germans, quot; which he had studied eight years before in Gallicia. quot; The opinion, however, did not prevail, and even quot; up to the present time, in spite of the evidence of quot; facts, a great number of the Daily papers maintain quot; that the cattle plague, as it is called, is not the quot; typhus of the Steppes, but an indigenous malady quot; developed in the London dairies under the influence quot; of unfavourable hygienic conditions, such as bad quot; ventilation, crowded sheds, amp;c. I will not hero quot; inquire whether In maintaining these views the quot; larger daily papers, and notably the Times, arc or quot; not influenced exclusively by the great commercial

quot; inlorcufs whioh aro at stake, and might possibly quot; snltei' if this cnll-lo pest wore considorod as a quot; malady imported from a foreign country. What quot; is certuiu, and absolutely certain, to mo, is that this quot; malady is nothing else than our contagious typhus quot; of honied cattle�the rinderpest of tho Germans.quot;

The imiuodiato effect of Professors Bonley and Chauveau'a investigation was that, with n view to protect Frttnco against the importation of the disoase, all tho portraquo; from Dunkirk to Nantes wore closed by Imperial Onler bearing date September �, 1805.

A fourth commission came from Prussia, represented by Dr. Furslenbcrg, Professor in the Royal Academy, Eldona,

In a letter which this gentlemen sent to tho Times, #9632;while pursuing bis enquiry, he remarks that quot; the quot; disease is Russian, only Russian, and it. is an ab-quot; soluto impossibility that it should devclopo spon-quot; taneously among the herds of Western and Central quot; Europe.quot;

Dr. Furstonborg aiso strongly condemned the want of proper precautions being taken to prevent the spread of tho disease, contrasting the futile efforts had recourse to with the vigorous measures adopted by Prussia to arrest its progress on every occasion when the plague had crossed the Russian frontier.

Evidence to tho snino effect was also given by Professor Gorlacb, of Hanover, -who at a later date #9632;was examined before the Royal Commission.

As curly as the beginning of August. 1865, the attention of the Royal Agricultural Society had been called, by a letter from the Clerk of the Council to tho President of the Society, to the fact of the cattle plague having shown itself in the country. This communica�tion may be said to have led the way to special meetings of several agricultural societies being con�vened, and to the ultimate, adoption of strong measures to prevent the spread of the plague.

The letter alluded to was to the following effect:�

laquo; Privy Council Office, Whitehall, quot; My Lord,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; August 2, 1865.

quot; I am directed by the Lord President of the quot; Council to transmit to your lordship the accom-quot; panying copy of an Order which has been issued quot; hy a committee of tho Lords of the Council, and to quot; request that you will have the goodness to lay it quot; before the Royal Agricultural Society.

quot; Your lordship is probably aware that there has quot; lately appeared in some of the dairies in and near quot; London a disease amongst the cattle, closely quot; analogous to, if not the same as that which has '� of late years prevailed extensively in Russia, quot; Austria, and the eastern parts of Europe, called quot; the cattle plague, being a species of typhoid fever. quot; The loss of animals caused by it in those countries quot; has been very serious. Returns have been fur-quot; nished to this office by which it appears that in quot; 1864, 159,476 c;ittle were attacked by this disease quot; in Russia, out of which 104,714 died. The powers quot; vested by law in the Government, with respect to quot; the diseases of cattle, are very limited ; and, more-quot; over, it does not appear that in countries where the quot; governments possess the amplest powers for dealing quot; with cases of this kind, and where they have quot; exorcised those powers with great vigour, any quot; signal success has attended their measures. The quot; Lord President therefore thinks that it is upon the quot; care and circumspection of individuals interested quot; in the cattle trade, that the chief dependence must quot; be placed for precautions to be taken which may quot; prevent the spreading of this formidable disease. quot; It is of the first importance that all farmers, cow-quot; keepers, or dealers in cattle, when purchasing new quot; stock, should for several days, not less than 12 or quot; 14, keep their (tattle apart from the rest of their quot; stock, until in fact there is reason to think that the quot; new purchases are free from this disease.

quot; If a farmer, cowkecper, or salesman should be quot; desirous to get rid of any animals suffering from quot; the disease in question, or even any which may

quot; have boon in close contnet with animals suffering quot; from that disoase, it should bo impressed upon liiin, quot; as a public duty, that, at the present juncture, hlaquo; quot; should not send them to markets or other places, quot; where they would bo brought into contact with quot; other animals, but should cause thorn to be quot; slaughtered at once, ami thus do what ho can to quot; prevent the spreading of the disease.

quot; Pnrlieular attention should bo paid to the cleaus-quot; ing of all yards, sheds, and other places whore quot; cattle aro kept; and this cleansing should be quot; especially insisted upon where there has been any quot; manifestation of this disease. These places should quot; bo disinfected by tho free use of chloride of liaie quot; or other allied coinpoiuuls. It is also of great im-*' portnnce that all diseased animals should bo a.s quot; quickly as possible removed to as great a distance quot; from tho healthy laquo;s circumstances will allow, and quot; all indirect as well as direct communication bo quot; strictly prevented between them. Tho animals quot; which aro tho most severely affected having at quot; once been killed and buried, their skins may bo quot; preserved to the owner by being placed in a dis-quot; infecting tluid as soon as removed from the body.

quot; That it is advisable to kill the diseased animals quot; at once, is best shown by tho circumstance that quot; it rarely happens that, where the disease is quot; allowed to run its natural course, deaths are at quot; a lower rate than 80 per cent.; and also by the quot; fact that every diseased nnimnl is a continuous quot; source of danger by disseminating the elements of quot; the infection.

quot; I subjoin an account of the symptoms, which, quot; according to Professor Simonds, of the Royal quot; Veterinary College, who has paid particular attcn-quot; tion, both in this country and in Galicia, to the! quot; disease in question, are the usual characteristics of quot; the malady.

quot; Professor Simonds states that, with the present quot; amount of experience, no special plan of medical quot; treatment can be laid down ; but that it would quot; appear that the disease is best combated hy a free quot; use of stimulants, conjoined with antiseptic agents, quot; the strength of the animal being kept up by a quot; liberal supply of wheat or oatmeal gruel, boiled quot; linseed, and similar dietetic agents.

quot; I have, amp;c. quot; (Signed) Aethuk Helps.quot; quot; The Lord Tredegar, amp;c.quot;

This letter having been read at a meeting of the Council; It was moved by Mr. Thompson that the thanks of the Council be given to the Lord President, for the communication with which he has favoured them on the subject of the cattle plague; and that his lordship be requested to give instructions that any further information that the Government may receive on this subjeet may be communicated to the secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society as early as possible, with a view to its immediate publication.

At, the meeting of tlie quot;Bath and West of England Agricultural Society,quot; held on August 11th quot;a Coni-quot; mittee was appointed to collect and disseminate quot; information on the subject of the disease, and with quot; authority to communicate with the chairmen of the quot; Boards of Guardians in the several unions of the six quot; western counties, with tho hope of calling the at-quot; tention of agriculturists throughout the district to quot; the importance of adopting due precautions against quot; the spread of the malady.quot; The Committee met forthwith, and issued the following letter to tho chairmen and clerks of the Boards of Guardians in the poor law unions in tho counties of Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wilts, and Gloucester.

On the 16th of August the Highland and Agri�cultural Society of Scotland held a meeting, at which it was resolved�

1st. quot;That application bo made to the Secretary

quot; of State by the directors of the Iligh-

quot; land Society, to extend to Scotland

quot; #9632;without delay the orders and rcgu-

quot; lations of the Privy Council.

2ndly. quot;That the directors of tbo Highland

quot; Society urge upon Her Majesty's

quot; government tho propriety of taking

quot; measures to prevent the importation

quot; of cattle from those countries where

quot; the disease is known to exist.quot;

Resolutions to the sarao effect wore also adopted by

quot; The Chamber of Agriculture and Scottish Farmer's

Club,quot; which met immediately on the rising of the

Highland and Agricultural Society.

The formation of cattle plague associations quickly followed, and foremost among the counties in esta�blishing such an association was Norfolk.

The energy which this association displayed throughout the whole period of the existence of the plague, under the untiring zeal of its chairman, Clare Sewell Read, Esq., M.P., is worthy of high commendation, Few, if any of tho associations, did as much as this one at tho outset to arrest tho spread of the plague. Besides large sums which it voluntarily subscribed, its members cheei fully sub-

mitted to the infliction of a rate upon their assessments. Restrictions on tho movements of cattle, compulsory slaughter of tho diseased, and eonipensiilinn for loss, subsequently received tho full support of the asso�ciation. Tho resolutions adopted for its guidance at the commencement of its operations were,�

quot; 1. Tho association to bo open to all persons quot; whoso occupations are situate in tho quot; county of Norfolk.

quot; 2. That protection shall bo granted against loss quot; by tho death of neat stock from tho quot; plague, and of sheep from tho small-pox, quot; out of the funds which may bo raised, to quot; all such persons us shall conform to tho quot; following rules :�

quot; laquo;. Who shall on or before the 2Gth of quot; August have paid twopence in the quot; pound on their assessments, or a quot; subscription not being less than quot; the amount of such rate.

quot; h. Who shall have given notico to the quot; inspector, or to tho guardian of the quot; parish, or his approved deputy, quot; within twelve hours of the illness quot; of the cattle or sheep, and who quot; shall comply with the requisitions quot; of such inspector, guardian, or quot; other duly appointed person, and quot; the Order in Council printed on quot; tho other side (published herewith).

quot; c. Who shall, not introduce any fresh quot; stock on his farm from a public quot; market for the term of six weeks, quot; commencing on the 12lh of August.

quot; 3. That two thirds of the agreed marketable quot; value of the animal for grazing, slaugh-quot; tering, or dairy purposes, immediately quot; prior to the attack, shall bo payable to quot; the owner out of tho funds of the asso-quot; cintion within one month after satisfac-quot; tory proof of tho cause of death shall quot; have been furnished to the committee.

quot; 4. That the time within which persons may join quot; tbo association shall be 14 days from tho quot; 12th of August.

quot; 5. That dealers in stock shall pay and be paid quot; according to special arrangement.

quot; 6. That fraud, misrepresentation, or wilful neglect shall cause a forfeiture of all claim.

quot; Norwich, August 14th, 1865.quot;

The credit however of raising a voluntary rate, to bo paid by both landlords and tenants, for the purpose of paying for animals slaughtered in the early stage of the disease, belongs to the county of Aberdeen. In this way the plague was quickly stamped out in that county on its first appearance therein, and again when it broke out in another part of the county in 1866.

By the third week in August tho correspondence had so much increased, and also tho duties of inspec�tion, that it became necessary to extemporize an office for the transaction of all matters relating to the cattle plague.

Upon the recommendation of the Clerk of tbo Council, Dr. Williams was appointed Secretory, and a sufficient staff of assistants being engaged, the whole business was soon systematized.

A meeting of the inspectors was convened on 21st of August, at which (ho Metropolitan Police district was subdivided, and an inspector nppointed for each division. Ultimately it was found necessary to rearrange the police district into 34 divisions.

A form headed quot; Cattle Disease Inquiryquot; was also promptly issued to the inspectors, in the several counties who were requested to till in answers to the questions, and return the paper forthwith to the Clerk of the Council.

The information thus obtained was at once tabu�lated, and a foundation laid for keeping a statistical account of the future progress and results of the plague.

The step was also otherwise important, as it became the basis on which the Veterinary Department of the Privy Council was established.

During the month of August the plague appeared in the following counties in addition to those previously named as being infected at the end of July :�i

During August also tho outbreaks of tho plague wore supploinentod by fresh introductions of diseased animals from the continent both into London and tho ottt-porls.

Without entering fully into details of such cases, it may be inontioned that some foreign boasts, bought in the Metropolitan Market in the first week of August, by a butcher residing in the Isle of Wight, took the plague thither. Tho animals were sent direct from London to Blackwator, near to Newport, and turned into a pasture field. It is said that they were killed before indications of ill-health wore ob�served ; but, bo this as it may, the plague was conveyed by them to a labourer's cow which was being grazed by the sides of tho road, and also to some dairy cows which came in contact with the bullocks by their breaking out of tho pasture field.

On August 20th the plague broke out in West Hart-lepool among some cattle imported on the 18th from Rotterdam. On the 21st of the same month the disease was brought to Newcastle-on-Tyne by eight store animals, also exported from Rotterdam. These animals formed part of a cargo of cattle which were intended for immediate slaughter. They were ex�posed for sale in Newcastle market on the 22d, and again on the 29th, when they communicated the disease to some Irish cattle, by the dispersion of which the plague was immediately spread both in Northumberland and Durham. Some cows also at pasture at Fenham near to Newcastle contracted the disease from the Dutch cattle, and being sent for sale to Carlisle carried the plague into Cumberland.

On August 24th a third importation of infected cattle took place, and also from Rotterdam. On this oc�casion the animals were imported into Hull, and some of them were forwarded direct to Preston, Lancashire, and sold in Preston fair on the following day, the 25th. Three separate lots were bought by persons residing near to Preston for grazing purposes, and each of these was found within four or five days of purchase to be suffering i'roin the plague. This outbreak of the plague in Lancashire was thought at the time to have depended exclusively on the purchase of two fat bullocks in the fair at Preston, which had come from Hamburgh, and as such the original statistical report of the quot;Veterinary Department assigns the introduction of the disease to Hamburgh cattle. Subsequent inquiries however have shown that besides these two animals there were many Dutch heifers which went with them to Preston from Hull, that were the sub�jects of tho plague. All the cattle which were im�ported into Hull from Hamburgh during the month of August, as well as immediately before and after that time, were fat cattle, intended for immediate slaughter. They wore chiefly slaughtered in Hull; others of them, however, were sent to London, Manchester, and other large towns, but in no instance has it been ascertained that they were the subjects of the plague. Large numbers of store stock also arrived week by week from Rotterdam and Bremen, and these were sold at the various fairs and markets for grazing purposes.

Further, with regard to the importation of diseased cattle, it may be here remarked that on October 11th an inspector residing near Hull reported that an ox imported at that place was attacked with tho plague within three days of landing.

On tho 17th of tho same month the Customs' in�spector at West Hartlepool reported that he had found a heifer,�one of a cargo of twenty sent from Rotterdam,�to be suffering from the plague. A third inspector reported on November 6th that some Dutch calves imported at Hull and sold in Salford market had taken tho plague to Glossop, Derbyshire.

Besides these well ascertained importations of dis�eased cattle from Holland into tho out-ports, many infected cattlo, ns has been previously stated, were shipped from that country to London week by week from the commencement of the plague even down to tho prohibition of the importations by Order in Council of March 24th, 1866.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN OHEAT BBITAIN.

267

It is a remarkable circumstanco in connexion with the history of tho plague tliat, notwithstanding the continuous imporlations of diseasotl Dutcli cattlo, as well as the exposure for sale of discasud aniiuais, botli froiu infoctod herds in tho country and tho London cowsheds, week by week in tho Metropolitan Market, the inspector did not make any seizures until tho week ending August 12th. On the occasion of tho first seizure, no loss than 54 plague-stricken animals were found within tho market area, and 23 in tho adjacent slaughter-houses. From this dato fresh seizures wore made on almost every succeeding market-day, so that by tho third week In November, when the inspector sent his official report to the Veterinary Department, the number had risen to 537. Tho market was thus a fruitful source of mischief from tho very beginning of tho plague, and hence, in a large proportion of the original reports received from the country inspectors, the outbreak of the disease in their respective neighbourhoods is attributed to tho purchase of cattle in London. One of the last of such outbreaks took place in the immediate neigh�bourhood of Oxford as lato as the middle of October. Thus we see that the Order of Council of September 22d, which required that all animals sent to the Metropolitan Cattle Market should only be sold for immediate slaughter, only partially protected the country against the diffusion of the plague.

Reverting to the proceedings of the Royal Agri�cultural Society, wo have to remark that during the month of August, the Veterinary Committee of the society held several meetings, which resulted in the issue of the following circular:�

quot; Royal Agricultural Society of England, quot; 12, Hanover Square, Aug. 30th, 1865.

quot; The gradual extension of the cattle plague in dif-quot; ferent parts of the country, together with its appear-quot; ance in localities hitherto exempt from it, induces quot; the Veterinary Committee of the Royal Agricultural quot; Society to call upon its members to co-operate with quot; the Government, and with other Agricultural 8o-quot; cieties, in the efforts which are being made for quot; suppressing the disease.

quot; The existence of this disease being regarded as a quot; national calamity, it was right that the Government quot; should take the initiative in adopting means for its quot; suppression ; and their having done so leaves little quot; for the Royal, or any other Agricultural Society, to quot; do, except to second tho efforts of the Government.

quot; The several Orders in Council which have been quot; put forth, well calculated as they are to arrest the quot; progress of the malady, will, nevertheless, prove iion-quot; effective to a considerable extent unless they are quot; backed by individual exertion. One of the chief, quot; and in many instances the only cause of the extension quot; of the disease into several fresh districts has been quot; the reckless manner that many persons have dealt quot; with infected cattle. Not only have these been driven quot; from place to place, and turned into fields separated quot; only from largo herds of healthy animals by an ordi-quot; nary fence, but many have been sent to fairs and quot; markets ; and thus, by commingling with others, have quot; spread tho disease far and wide. All preventive quot; measures are thus rendered of little avail, and unless quot; practices of this kind are prevented by the vigilance quot; of agriculturists and others, thousands of cattle will quot; bo lost to the country, in addition to those which quot; have already perished. Every one should be im-quot; pressed with the fact that tho disease is the most quot; infectious as well as the most fatal which is known quot; to affect cattle, akin in its deadly effects to the small-quot; pox of sheep, bu t not giving waraing to persons by quot; an eruption upon the body. Like smallpox of sheep, quot; also, the poison lies latent in tho system for several quot; days after being inhaled, and during this time the quot; animal gives no indications to ordinary observation quot; of being affected, so that the most cautiots persons quot; may bo deceived in tho making of purchases. quot; Another fact of equal importance, but not generally quot; known, is that the special poisonous material, or

quot;^infectious matter, on which tho disease depends for quot; its existence, is multiplied to an extent scarcely to quot; bo estimated in tho system of every fresh victim; so quot; that it is quite possible for one diseased animal quot; to bo ultimately the cause of the death of thousands. quot; Tho Veterinary Committee conceive, therefore, that quot; tho precautions which have boon put forth by tho quot; Society's Veterinary Inspector will not be inaptly quot; repeated here, although they have been previously quot; brought to tho notice of tho members of the Society quot; through tho ordinary channels of publication. quot; These precautions are:�

quot; 1. That all persons should abstain as much as pos-quot; sible from tho purchase of ' Store Stock' in quot; fairs and markets, and should not purchase quot; from cattle dealers without a warranty against quot; the disease. quot; 2. That all newly-purchased cattle of every kind quot; be kept apart from others for a period of not quot; less than twelve to fourteen days. quot; 3. That cattle, the subjects of this disease, should quot; not bo allowed to remain in any meadow or quot; pasture field, unless they can be perfectly quot; isolated from all other animals, as well as quot; kept at a distance of not less than a hundred quot; yards from all roads along which sound cattle quot; may be driven. quot; 4. That every animal, which is violently attacked quot; with the disease, be killed and buried with-quot; out delay, and that the skin be placed in quot; some disinfecting fluid before being sent off quot; the premises. quot; 5. That no animals be allowed to go near to the quot; burial places, until several weeks have quot; elapsed. quot; 6. That no person, who has the charge of the quot; sick cattle, be allowed to go near the healthy quot; ones, and that all indirect communication by quot; dogs, or other animals, between tho infected quot; and the healthy cattle, be strictly prevented. quot; 7. That all healthy cattle after removal from the

quot; diseased be well washed and cleansed. quot; 8. That no fodder or straw, which has been used quot; about infected cattle, be taken to other quot; animals, or even thrown into the fold-yard, or quot; upon the manure heap, until it has been first quot; well incorporated with chloride of lime, or quot; some other disinfecting powder. When prac-quot; ticablo it is desirable that all such fodder quot; and straw should be burnt. quot; 9. That all manure in the sheds or stables, occu-quot; pied by diseased cattle, be daily sprinkled quot; with some disinfecting powder, and that no quot; evacuations of the diseased bo removed with-quot; out being first disinfected. quot; 10. That all sheds and stables, in which diseased quot; cattle have been located, be thoroughly quot; washed, cleansed, and ventilated, and likewise quot; disinfected by whitewashings with quick lime, quot; before any other cattle are placed therein. quot; 11. That all railway cattle-trucks, station-pounds, quot; ships used in the cattle trade, wharves and quot; other places, where cattle are brought to-quot; gether, be kept as clean as possible by frequent quot; washings ; and that disinfectants bo used quot; whenever there is reason to believe that they quot; have been occupied by diseased animals, quot; 12. That no store-stock, milking cows, or cattle of quot; any kind which have been exposed to tho in-quot; fluenco of the infection, by being located with quot; tho diseased, be sent to any fair, or market, in quot; less time than a month after such exposure. quot; 13. That in all cases in which it is determined to quot; slaughter animals which have been on a farm quot; or premises where the disease has broken out, quot; but which animals are believed at tlie time quot; to bo healthy and fit for human food, be quot; scut with all due care and caution direct to quot; the nearest slaughter-house, if not killed on quot; the premises, and as a further precautiou

quot; age, sex, or coiulilion, to bo susccptibloof tho

^lt;! aclioa of' the infection, it is nevertheless

quot; esscnlially uccossary tliat every cause which

quot; teiuls to weaken tho constitution should be

quot; carefully avoided. Protection from inclemont

quot; weather, snpplyiog animals with nutritious

quot; food, such as cake or corn, and especially

quot; with pure water, are imperatively demanded

quot; at a juncture like tho present.

'�' In addition lo a strict observance of these pre-

quot; cautions the Committee would remind tho members

quot; of tho necessity of recognizing the early symptoms of

�' the disease, and not confounding them with those

�' belonging lo other maladies common to cattle. For

quot; this purpose they hero insert the leading symptoms

quot; of the cattle plague, and of tho two other epidemic

quot; affections to which cattle aro subject :�

quot; The Cattle Flaoite.

quot; The early symptoms of the plague are usually a quot; remarkably dull and dispirited condition of the quot; animal, which will stand with its head hanging down, quot; ears drawn back, and coat staring, refusing all food, quot; and occasionally shivering. The eyes have an un-quot; usual expression of anxiety, and a mucous discharge quot; occasionally flows from them, and also from the quot; nostrils. The skin is hot, but sometimes chilly ; the �lt; temperature varying from time to time. The extre-quot; mities aro cold ; tho breathing short and quick, and quot; frequently accompanied with moaning as an indi-quot; cation of pain. The inner part of tho upper lip and quot; roof of tho month is sometimes reddened, and not quot; unfrequently covered with raw-looking spots. The quot; bowels are occasionally constipated ; but, in most quot; instances, diarrhoea soon sets in, the evacuations �' being slimy and very frequently of a dirty yellow quot; colour. The vagina is sometimes intensely reddened. quot; The prostration of strength is great, the animal quot; staggering when made to move, hi milch cows the quot; secretion of milk is rapid!]/ diminished, and soon quot; ceases altogether.

quot; Pleubo-Pneumonia, on Lung-Disease. quot; The attack is mostly insidious, tho animal appear-quot; ing at the outset to be but little affected. The eyes quot; retain their brightness, often to the termination of quot; the illness. The appetite is generally diminished, quot; but rarely lost, excepting in the advanced stages of quot; the disease. A short, dry, husky cough is one of the quot; earliest symptoms : it continues throughout, and is quot; easily excited by moving the animal, especially if quot; such movement is sudden. There is rarely any quot; discharge from oitlier the eyes or nostrils. The quot; breathing is greatly increased, and becomes painful quot; as the disease advances. A dull sound is emitted on quot; gently percussing the side of tho chest over the dis-quot; eased lung. Firm pressure applied to this part will quot; cause the animal to shrink. There is little or no quot; alteration in tho ftccal evacuations, excepting in the quot; last stages of the malady, when a diarrhoea comes on. quot; The warmth of the body and the extremities is often quot; retained to the last hours of the illness. In milch quot; cows the quantity is lessened; but the animal will quot; frequently yield a fair quantity to the very last. quot; The affected animal will sometimes live for weeks.

quot; The Mouth and Foot Disease.

quot;Attack sudden. No premonitory symptoms, cx-quot; cepting in very rare instances. The animal fre-quot; qucntly smacks its lips, and shows by tho movement quot; of its tongue that the mouth is the seat of suffering. quot; The saliva flows freely from the mouth, and accu-quot; mulatcs also as a fiolby fluid around the muzzle. An quot; examination of the mouth shows the existence of quot; large vesicles on the tongue, and often on the inner quot; part of the upper lip. They aro few in number, and

quot; always white in colour. Tho nnlmnl seldom rofusos quot; food, but rolls it about in its mouth, and often drops quot; instead of swallowing it. There is little or no disraquo; quot; turbanco of either the breathing or pulse ; nor is tho quot; temperature of tho body altered. Tho evacuations quot; are also natural. In many instances the foot aro quot; affected as well as the mouth, and blisters will form quot; between the toes, causing tho animal to walk ten-quot; derly, and frequently to catch up one foot after the quot; other and shako it, as if to dislodge something which quot; was producing pain, lu milch cows tho teats are quot; occasionally affected with vesicles, especially at quot; opening of the milk duct, which often lead in this quot; situation to sores and crusts being formed, provont-quot; tho ready flow of the milk. The disease is of short quot; duration, rarely produces death, and frequently quot; exists simultaneously among tho sheep, pigs, and quot; poultry of tho farm, as well as among the cattle.

quot; The preceding description of the most prominent quot; symptoms of these several affections will, the Com-quot; mittee hope, so far guide the agriculturist that he quot; may at once be enabled to decide on the nature of quot; the disease ; but in any case in which a doubt may quot; exist, he should lose no time in calling to his assist-quot; ance the professional aid of a veterinary surgeon.

quot; The Coimnittoo would further observe that they quot; have witnessed with satisfaction the formation of quot; mutual protection or compensating societies in some quot; of the counties in which the disease has broken out. quot; Such societies must prove important auxiliaries to quot; the means employed for suppressing the disease by quot; inducing persons to give immediate notice of its quot; appearance, and by doing all they can to carry out quot; tho rules and regulations herein named, as well as quot; the several Orders in Council which have been quot; issued by tho Government.

quot; In conclusion, the Committee have to state that, quot; although strongly believing that it is to preventive quot; and not curative means the country must look for quot; the extermination of tho cattle plague, they have not quot; neglected the important subject of combating the quot; disease by medical treatment. In conjunction with quot; the Royal Veterinary College, measures have been quot; adopted by which diseased cattle are admitted into quot; the infirmary of that institution for treatment. quot; Hitherto, the results of medical treatment have no-quot; where been so satisfactory as could be wished ; but quot; should a successful mode of treatment be discovered quot; the same will immediately be made public. Another quot; and a very great advantage arising out of diseased quot; cattle being brought to the college is, that means quot; are afforded to veterinary surgeons�who arrive in quot; London from all parts of tho country, and even from quot; foreign states�of seeing the disease in its several quot; stages, and also of being present at post-mortem quot; examinations and learning from the professors the quot; whole of the details of the treatment which has quot; been adopted.quot;

It is much to lio regretted that during the first few months of the existence of the cattle plague, tiie opinions which were inculcated by writers in the public papers did much to spread the disease through�out the country. The spontaneous origin of tlie malady, and its epidemic character, were strongly insisted upon even by medical writers ; and (ho sequestration and slaughter of diseased animals, with a view to the destruction of the eontagmm was Btoutly opposed. Not only was apathy thus engendered, but a false security was engendered in the minds of many persons whose interests were immediately assailed by the extension of the disease to their herds. With few exceptions the London press unfortuuatoly took a position hostile to the views entertained by the Go�vernment, and thus rendered its efforts to arrest the spread of the plague through the kingdom nugatory to a considerable extent, as many of the country papers followed in the wake. Slowly but securely did the truth advance ; and when this had forced itself upon the mind of the opposition, those persons who had before done all in their power to disseminate false doctrines, become, much to their credit, equally as energetic in advocating the stamping-out process.

Among other things, the holding of Barnet Cattle Pair in the beginning of September gave a new impetus to the plague, and demonstrated the utter futility of inspection of cattle in fairs and markets as a prompt method of preventing the progress of infection. Aware of the danger about to be incurred, the Government directed the adoption of every means at its command to meet a possible emergency,�an outbreak of cattle plague in the fair. Under the direction of the Lords of the Council a most complete system of inspection was arranged by the Veterinary Department, and the result was according to anticipation. The precautions taken had the cifect of preventing the entrance of diseased cattle into the fair ; but the animals were consequently left to die in the fields surrounding the town, where many were afterwards found and buried. Beasts, however, which had herded with the diseased, and which gave no indications of the infection lying-latent in their systems, could not be prevented entering the fair, and these, by their sale and dis�persion, spread the plague far and wide. Several fresh outbreaks in distant parts of England were traced to cattle bought at the fair, while many of the animals which were unsold, are known to have died on their road home.

Among the outbreaks which immediately depended on the holding of the fair was the one which took place at Bushy Park paddocks, Hampton Court. Twelve Scotch cattle were purchased on Her Ma�jesty's account, according to established custom, to eat off' the rough grass left by thorough-bred mares. Within a few days of their arrival at the paddocks one of them sickened with the plague, and although every precaution was adopted, the disease attacked the others in succession, and in less than a fortnight all were dead.

Among many other individuals, two Welch cattle dealers, in particular, suffered enormous losses. These men left Wales with 241 animals for the fair, and on the road they sold 44 of the number. Almost immediately after arriving at Barnet the plague broke out in t'ao remainder of the herd, and swept away every animal, with the exception of three which were stolen. These stolen beasts, it was believed, found their way, when in a diseased condition, into some low sausage-makers' shops in the metropolis. The loss of the cattle and the expense to which the Welchmen were put for the burial of the carcases, amp;c. reduced them to penury, so that they had to appeal to the charity of their friends to enable them to return home.

In the mouth of September Her Majesty, with the view to the adoption of energetic and well devised means for arresting the disease, was graciously pleased to appoint a Royal Commission. The terms and regu�lations of the Warrant were thus set forth :�

or iu tlio event of Her Majesty not sharing in this view, that for n period to bo flxod, no quot; loan or store slock should ho permitted to bo sold in any fair or market,quot; nor quot;by auction or advertiseinont.quot; That cattle intended for immediate slaughter should only bo moved to a market or slaughter-house by license granted by the magistrates in petty sessions; that they should come from a healthy district, and that quot; cxcoiit in tho case of cattle driven from one part of �' the siune farm to another, the transit of cattlo over quot; any public road (including railways), or in any quot; coasting vessel, should be absolutely prohibited.quot; Itecommcndati�iis for precautions to bo taken for securing early slaughter of animals sold to the butcher, their removal to licensed slaughter-houses, their non-removal if bought in a fair or market beyond the boundaries of tho borough, amp;c., were suggested. A better definition of infected places, #9632;with tho proclaiming of a place as infected, was likewise advised.

The same majority was also quot; of opinion that the quot; power to seize and slaughter vested in inspectors quot; by tho consolidated order of August 26th might quot; properly be withdrawn; or that if retained it should quot; be exercised only in cases where tho inspector's quot; directions as to the separation of sound from quot; diseased stock, amp;c., or any general preventive or quot; sauitury regulations issued by the Govcrnmeut are quot; not complied with.quot;

With regard to foreign cattle the Commissioners were of opinion quot; that imported cattle should be quot; slaughtered at the ports of landing,quot; but failing this, quot; that they should be allowed to land at certain quot; ports only, where proper facilities can be afforded quot; for inspection and transport.quot; quot; If passed by tho quot; Customs' inspectors, foreign cattle, not coming from quot; an infected district, might be sent by railway to quot; any market in Great Britain, but shall bo then quot; subject to the same regulations as British cattle.quot;

quot; During tho period of prohibition, whether abso-quot; lute or limited,quot; they recommend that quot; no cattlo quot; should be allowed to be turned on common or un-quot; inclosed land.quot; The Commissioners also thought that it was highly desirable quot; that steps should be quot; taken for obtaining periodical returns of horned quot; cattle and sheep, and of their sanitary condition, quot; with especial reference to the cattle plague.quot; With regard to Ireland,�not then infected,�the Commis�sioners strongly advised, quot; that the Government quot; should be in readiness to eradicate the disease from quot; any spot in which it might appear.quot;

Four of the Commissioners issued a separate report which sot forth that they agreed with the majority in every suggestion with the exception of quot; the total quot; stoppage of all movement of cattle in Great Britain.quot; Two of the four were also of opinion quot;that store animals quot; might be permitted to move from the farm of the quot; seller to that of the buyer, provided they have a quot; certificate from a justice of the peace acting in the quot; district where tho sale takes place, showing that quot; they arc free from disease, and that they have been quot; located for a certain time on the farm of the seller.quot; One other Commissioner, Mr. M'Clean, made a separate report, expressing his dissent to tho con-elusions arrived at, and stating that he was of opinion, quot;after carefully considering the nature and quot; extent of the present disorder of cattle, that it does quot; not at present justify any further restriction in tho �* movement or trade in cattle; and that the powers quot; now vested in Her Majesty's Privy Council are quot; sufficient to prevent the spreading of the said quot; disorder, and to avert any future outbreak of it.quot;

The report was accompanied with a supplement containing very many sanitary recommendations for the management and trcntmont of diseased cattle.*

Notwithstanding all which had hitherto been done, so rapid was the spread of the disease, thai; by the 4th of November 1866, when the first oflicial weekly return of cases was published by order of the Lords

� Vide lieport,

of tho Council, it was ascortainod that tho attacks of cattle plague in England already amounted to 12,504, of which 6,093 animals had been killed, and 6,411 had died. In Scotland that 3,937 had been attacked, of which 1,460 had been killed and 2,472 had died ; and in Wales that 194 had been attacked, of which 53 had been killed and 141 had died, making a total loss of 16,()35. As the further progress of the malady week by week is indicated in the official returns, it is unnecessary that tho losses should bo now more particularly alluded to.

Groat anxiety was now expressed for the safety of tho animal^ which had been fed in the different parts of the country with tho intention of oxhibiting them at the fat cattle shows. Several of these shows were abandoned, and others took all the precautions they could to secure the animals from an attack of the disease. Tho regulations which the Committee ap�pointed by the Council of the Smithfiold Club deter�mined to adopt were intimated early in November by circular to the exhibitors. The subjoined is a copy :�

quot; Smithfielu Club.

Sir,

quot; I have been requested by the committee ap-quot; pointed by the Smithfiold Club to draw your par-quot; ticular attention to the following points, which are quot; considered most necessary in consequence of tho quot; cattle plague, and especially to paragraph No. 3.:

quot; 1 st. Tho committee strongly recommend that all quot; animals be conveyed in covered carts from the re-quot; spective farms on which they have been fed to the quot; railways by which they are to be forwarded to quot; London. This precaution would materially diminish quot; tho risk of infection between the farm and the quot; station.

quot; 2d. The committee also strongly recommend that quot; all animals be sent in horse-boxes on the railways. quot; The attention of the different boards has been ur-quot; gently drawn to this subject, and while it is to bo quot; regretted that the directors of tho principal lines quot; have not acceded to tho request made to them in quot; respect to the reduced rate of charge, still it is quot; hoped that their refusal will not preclude exhibitors quot; using horse-boxes.

quot; 3d. I am requested to state that the committee

quot;nbsp; has decided that no animals (cattle, sheep, or pigs)

quot;nbsp; will be admitted into the Smithfiold Show conveyed

quot;nbsp; in any hired cattle-carts, vans, amp;c., which have not

quot;nbsp; been cleansed and disinfected under the superin-

quot;nbsp; tendence of the officer appointed for that purpose

quot;nbsp; by the club.

quot; It will therefore be necessary for you to make quot; your own arrangements with some one of the fol-quot; lowing parties, who have agreed to have their con-quot; veyances so cleaned and disinfected, and not to use quot; them for any other cattle during the days the show quot; animals will be arriving.

quot; Each cart, amp;c., that is authorized to bring quot; animals to the hall, will have fixed on it a certifl-quot; cate to that effect, and signed by myself.

quot; It; will bo necessary for you to state your rc-quot; qnircments to one of tho under-mentioned autho-quot; rized carriers at once, with full instructions as to quot; the hour at which he will have to meet your stock, quot; and any other particulars, viz. :

quot; John Lowe, York Road, New Cattlo Market,

quot; gulations, as sent to you in my circular of

quot; the 2d instant.]

quot; 4th. I am nguin to urge upon you the advisa-

quot; bility of sending your stock to the show earlier than

quot; usual, in order to allow of time for the veterinary

quot; examination (which will bo made at the doors of

quot; the hall, to ascertain that no symptoms of tho

quot; disease have exhibited thomsclvos since it was ox-

quot; aminod by your veterinary surgeon on its leaving

quot; your farm.

quot; 5th. I take this opportunity of repeating tho

quot; other regulations, as contained in my circular of the

quot; 2d instant, in order that there may bo no possibility

quot; of any exhibitor not complying with the same.

quot; a. That no boast, sheep, or pig that has been

quot; exhibited at any show within one month

quot; previous to tho SmitMeld Club Show be

quot; allowed to enter tho Agricultural Hall.

quot; b. That each exhibitor be required to produce a

quot; certiflcate from a qualified veterinary sur-

quot; goon, showing that each animal is free

quot; from the rinderpest, and has not been on

quot; the same farm where infected animals have

quot; been within twenty-one days previous.

quot; c. That the council has appointod a committee to

quot; make arrangements respecting disinfected

quot; conveyances in which animals for the

quot; show may be carted from the railway

quot; termini in London, and to communicate

quot; with the railway authorities in reference

quot; to the conveyance of animals on their

quot; respective lines.

quot; d. That every animal shall undergo an inspection

quot; on its arrival at the hall; and that the

quot; Royal Veterinary College bo requested

quot; to make arrangements for the constant

quot; attendance of veterinary inspectors.

quot; e. That, with the concurrence of the Agricultural

quot; Hall Company, the show shall not remain

quot; open so long as usual, and that it shall

quot; close on the Thursday evening instead

�' of the Friday.

quot; 6th. I am also requested by the president to draw

quot; the attention of exhibitors to the great danger there

quot; would be if any animals were to be taken back to

quot; the country after having boon exposed to contact

quot; with other animals during tho show and to the

quot; various risks of infection during transit, and he

quot; strongly recommends that purchasers should, as a

quot; matter of precaution, make arrangements to have

quot; all animals slaughtered in London.

quot; I have, 8(c. (Signed) quot; B. T. Bbandbeth Gmns.

quot; Hon. Secretary.quot;

The care thus taken was rewarded by perfect success, no less than 223 head of cattle being brought together, exhibited for four days, and dispersed to the promises of the diiferent purchasers without tho occurrence of a single case of illness of any kind.

By the end of November tho weekly attacks had advanced to upwards of 5,000, and nearly 7,000 wore reported as being left on hand in the preceding week. It was also found that great mischief was arising from a want of unity of action on the part of the Local Autho�rity in the several counties and sessional divisions in suppressing tho plague. Meetings of agriculturists now followed in quick succession, each in its turn urging the Government to adopt still stronger measures to arrest the progress of the disease. Deputation upon deputation also waited on tho Government for the same purpose.

Ono of tho most important of these deputations was from the Council of tho Royal Agricultural Society.

It submitted to the consideration of tho Govornmont the resolutions which tlio Council had arrived at, and earnestly urged thoii' adoption. Tlioy wore as follows :�

quot; Rosolntious of the Council submitted to the Govern-quot; mont on the 7tli Decombei' 1 8()5.

quot; 1. That it is the opinion of the Council of tho quot; Royal Agricultural Society of England that tho quot; most effectual means of suppressing tho cattle plague quot; would bo to stop for a time all fairs and markets. quot; If this is imprncticablo then tho Council would quot; suggest the following regulations.

quot; 2. That any cattle, sheep, or pigs exhibited for sale quot; in a market or fair in or near any town, be forthwith quot; branded, and not allowed to leave such town alive.

quot; 3. That all cattle, sheep, or pigs offered for sale quot; elsewhere than on the premises of the owner, or in quot; any place whatever where they have not been 21 quot; days previously, bo branded and slaughtered within quot; 48 hours on (or near) the spot where such offer has quot; been made.

quot; 4. It is submitted that all foreign cattle, sheep, and quot; pigs should be slaughtered at tho port of disembarka-quot; tion and their skins disinfected forthwith, but in case quot; this should be considered too stringent a proceeding, quot; then tho owner or consignee of any imported cattle, quot; sheep, or pigs, or his agent, shall be obliged to state, quot; on their arrival in port, to what town or place ho in-quot; tends to forward them. After being duly inspected quot; and certified to be free from disease, they shall be quot; marked with a special brand, and bo allowed to pro-quot; coed, and shall be slaughtered at such town or quot; place.

quot; 5. That no cattle, sheep, or pigs be allowed to quot; travel upon any public road from any farm or place quot; upon or in which there is or has been within two quot; months any case of cattle plague.

quot; 6. That tho penalty for infringing any of these quot; regulations bo 20/. for each animal sold, driven, or quot; in any way dealt with contrary to such regulations, quot; one half of the penalty in every case to go to tho quot; informer.

quot; 7. That local inspectors be not at liberty to go quot; upon any farm without the consent of the occupier quot; unless authorized by a magistrate of the district.

quot; 8. It is submitted that the necessary orders for quot; carrying out these resolutions bo issued by the Go-quot; vernment, and that tho local authorities be required quot; to enforce thom so that tlie practice may be uniform quot; throughout the country.

quot; 9. That the Government bo requested to institute quot; experiments on an extensive scale in order to ascer-quot; tain tho real character of the cattle plague, and to quot; test various methods of prevention and cure. quot; By order of tho Council,

quot; (Signed) 11. Hall Dare,

quot; Secretary.quot;

The society also took tho initiativo in the suppression of fairs, markets, and exhibitions, by determining at tho mooting of its Council, on December 6th, that no show of eattlo should take place at the county meeting to be held at Bury St. Edmund's in 18G6. This ex�ample was followed by many local societies, and no doubt contributed to the more speedy stamping out of the plague.

Early in January 1866, in conformity with the reeommendations of the Cattle Plague Committee of Ireland, his Excclloncy the Lord Lieutenant was pleased to send to England a Commission of quot; properly quot; qualified persons to make themselves acquainted quot; with the symptoms,and to observe and consider the quot; most approved and successful mode of treatment of quot; the cattle disease.quot; The gentlemen selected for Ihis purpose wore, quot; F. D. Mapothor, Esq., M.D., Arthur quot; Wynne Foot, Esq., M.D., Datrick J. Hayes, Esc]., quot; M.l)., .James Tucker, Esq., M.I)., ,1. I).

AFPBKDIX JT. TO THR TIEPORT ON THE

quot; Ks((., Superintendent of tho Agricultural Departlaquo; quot; meut of National Education.quot; The Coinmissiou received directions quot;to wait in tho first instnnco on quot; Mr. Helps, of I ho Privy Council Ollicc, with an quot; intimation that that gontloman #9632;would be prepared quot; to assist then) with advice and inslrnctions as to quot; tho course i( might bo best for tliom to pursue, laquo;nil quot; the persons with whom it would be most dosirablo quot; Ihey should coinmunicalo.quot; On (ho arrival of the Commission in Engiaiul, every facility, at the request of Mr. Helps, was allorded by the ollicers of the Veterinary Department, the professors of tho colleges, and others, for studying the disease both in London ' and in different parts of the country. Frequent visits wore made not only to tho veterinary colleges, the cattle-sheds of the metropolis, the market, slaugh�ter-houses, and knack'ei'ies, but some of tho members of tho Commission proceeded to Surrey, Tlei'tfordshiro, Cheshire, and Norfolk. Indeed, no means were left unused which could enable the Commission to com�plete its enquiry to its satisfaction. On the return of the Commission to Ireland each member made n separate report to His Excellency on the result of his own investigations, which was supplemented by a joint report of Doctor's Mapother, Foot, and Hayes, and also by one from William Poliin, V.S., who was sent over by the Carlow Agricultural Society and (he Athy Farmer's Club.

These reports were published as a quot; sequel to the quot; report ot' the Committee convened by the Lord quot; Lieutenant of Ireland to consider the measures to quot; be adopted for arresting the progress of the cattle quot; plague in case of its appearance in Ireland.quot; This sequel was presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of Her Majesty.

Mention has also to bo made that, shortly alter (he departure of (he, Irish Commission, Professor dessen of Dorpat, und Professor Ivnnhoil' of St. Petcrsburgh, arrived as a deputation from Russin. These gentlemen took an especial interest in the plague as it manifested itselfquot; in sheep, and for this purpose, accompanied by Professor Brown, they visited several farms, and examined carefully the plague-stricken sheep. They were also very desirous of ascertaining the various methods of treatment which had been adopted for tho cure of the cattle plague, and the preventive measures #9632;which had been found most effective. The influence of climate, breed, and the different systems in the management of British cattle, as attaching to the progress of the plague, were also matters into which they strictly enquired.

This investigation on the part of Russia was followed by a similar enquiry by Denmark. For (his purpose Professor Sjostedt of Copenhagen was com�missioned (o visit, England. The extent, of the means necessary to prevent the plague reaching Denmark from English ports, formed one of the chief objects of his enquiry. Importations both of cattle and slice]) from England were rigorously forbidden, and every other precaution taken to save Denmark from a visitation of the plague.

On February 5th, ISGG, the Royal Commission issued its Second Report, in which it drew attention (o the great increase of the disease which had taken place, observing that the plague had nearly doubled itself at intervals of four weeks since their former report; und that, formidable as the figures were, they by no inenns represented (he real amount of loss and suffering inflicted by the calamity, which ravaged some districts while it spared others.

The lloyal Commifisionevs further remarked that they hud ''endeavoured without success to obtain quot; speciflc information as to the introduction of the quot; disease into the country,quot; but that the theory that (he disease originated in the I/mdon cowsheds was inconsistent, not only with the evidence appended to their first report, but with that which had been since received.

Kefcuing to the several Orders of Council which had been issued, and to their own expressed Opinion of the necessity to restrict the movements of animals,

thoy proceeded to state, quot; We differed in some degree quot; as to the amount of stringency which wo might quot; reasonably venture to recommend. Wo think it quot; right to say (Mr. M'Clean still dissenting) that quot; tho opinions in which wo then concurred not quot; only romaln unshaken, but have been materially quot; strengthened and oouflrmod by tho deplorable cx-quot; porienco of tho last three months.quot;

Besides the general report agreed upon, the medical and scientilic members of the Commission, with a view of obtaining a more correct knowledge of the pathology of the plague, its amenability to treatment, tho animals susceptible to the contagion, amp;c., appointed the following gentlemen to impure into and report upon the subjoined divisions of the subject.

1.nbsp; Nature, propagation, progress, and symptoms of

tho disease. J. B. Sanderson, Esq., M.D.

2.nbsp; nbsp;General pathology of the disease, and its relation

to human diseases. C. Murchison, Esq., M.D. .'!. Chemical pathology of the disease. W. Marcet, Esq., M.D.

4.nbsp; nbsp;Morbid anatomy of the disease. J. S. Bris-

bane, Esq., M.D.

5.nbsp; nbsp;Microscopical researches on the disease. Lionel

S. Beale, Esq., M.D.

(j. Treatments of the disease. George Vancell, Esq., M.R.C.V.S., and Wm. Pritchard, Esq., M.R.C.V.S.

7. Disinfection and ventilation. E. Angus Smith, Esq., M.D.

The results of these investigations were embodied in the Third Report of the Commission, but as they are adverted to in another section of this report, it is not necessary to direct further attention to them in this place.

The third report of the Commission was published May 1st, 1866; and besides giving an epitome of (he results of the special investigations, with addi�tional conclusions at which the Commissioners had arrived, it contained many useful suggestions as quot; Fu�ture Precautionsquot; against the introduction and spread of the plague.

On tho assembling of Parliament, February 6th, 1866,�by which time no less than 20 Orders of Council had been issued,�Her Majesty in Her speech from the throne was graciously pleased to allude to the existence of the plague in the following terms :

quot; I have observed with deep concern the extension and prevalence during the last few months of a virulent distemper among cattle in Great Britain, andjt is with deep regret and with sincere sympathy for the sufferers that I learn the severe losses which it, has caused in many counties and districts ; and it it satisfactory to know that Ireland and a consider�able part of Scotland are as yet free from this calamity, and I trust by the precautions suggested by ex�perience, and by the Divine blessing on the means which are now being employed, that its further ex�tension nmy be arrested. The Orders which have been made by tho Lords of My Privy Council, by virtue of the powers vested in them in law, with a view to prevent the spreading of this disease, will be laid before you ; and your attention will be called to (ho expediency of an amendment of a law relating to a subject so deeply affecting the interests of My people.quot;

Two bills for amending the law were quickly brought into the House of Commons, one by the Government, and the other by Mr. Ward Hunt, member for North Northamptonshire. These bills may be said to have been ultimately consolidated and embodied in quot; The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act,quot; which was passed sufficiently early to bo put into operation by the 20th of February 1866. From this time the plague rapidly diminished, tho officially re�ported attacks falling from upwards of 17,000 per week, to which they had risen, to less than 7,000 in the short spneo of six weeks.

The precise ratio of the decline is shown by tho following oflicinl return.

quot; public fairs, trysts, or public markets for the sale quot; of store cattle, unless such markets as m!iy be quot; expressly sanctioned by tho Local Authority of tho quot; place whore tho same are to be held.quot;

These memorials were fully considered by the Lords of the Council, and an answer was returned to tho effect that as both Scotland and Ireland wero perfectly free from cattlo plague, and as no cattlo or sheep could enter Scotland from England, thoir Lordships did not see sufficient reason to vary or revoke thoir Order of August 11th. The Falkirk trysts were consequently held, and without any injurious results following therefrom.

In England also the attacks diminished so rapidly that for the first time in the history of the visitation they were reported as under 100 for the week ending September 1st, 1866. For tho closing week of the year they wero returned as being nine only, which was an excess of three on tho preceding week. Very shortly after this no more cases of the plague occurred in the country, and, with the exception of the me�tropolis, into which the disease was re-introduced in February 1867, England remained free of the disease.

With reference to Wales the disease was reported to have first visited Flintshire as early as July 1865 ; but doubts may not unreasonably be entertained as to tho correctness of this statement. Be this as it may, the malady was fully established in September both in Flintshire and Denbighshire, and continued down to the third week of August 1866, when for the first time no eases were returned. Wales subsequently to this date remained perfectly free from any other outbreak of tho plague.

The total loss sustained by the United Kingdom was probably not less than a third of a million. It is known that many of the early cases were kept secret by the owners of the animals, and as such they could not be reported by the inspectors. The official returns show that in England 221,454 animals were attacked, and that of this nmnber 92,177 were killed diseased, 97,774 died, and 27,720 recovered, leaving 3,783 unaccounted for. Besides which, 41,175 were slaughtered to prevent the extension of the plague.

In Scotland 48,130 were attacked, of which 29,108 died, 6,742 were killed, 11,273 recovered, leaving 1,007 unaccounted for. Scotland also disposed of 15,033 by slaughter.

In Wales the attacks numbered 9,339, and of these 6,567 died, 1,261 were killed, 1,172 recovered, leaving 339 unaccounted for. Wales likewise slaughtered 721. It will thus bo seen that in Great Britain 278,923 were attacked, and that 238,758 were lost, and 40,165 recovered. In addition to these numbers 56,929 were disposed of by being slaughtered before showing symptoms of the disease.

Referring to the extent of the loss sustained. Lord Cathcart, at a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, March 21st 1866, remarked that quot; it appears quot; from the Government returns that by means of quot; the plague we have now lost 210,000 head of quot; cattle. But from my own personal observations quot; I know that tho Government returns do not quot; adequately represent the actual losses. These are quot; under statements. There are panic slaughters, which quot; are not returned. There are also great losses for quot; breeding purposes. Quantities of unripe meat arc quot; brought into the market as I have seen myself, and quot; taking all these things together, I say that it is not an quot; over-estimate to double the 210,000, and so put down quot; 420,000 as the total losses we have already sustained.quot;

With reference to Ireland it may be observed that, very early, legislative measures, far more stringent than those employed in England or Scotland, wert) adopted to protect the cattle of the Sister Isle. For many months these proved fully effective ; but suddenly, and totally unexpectedly, the disease ap�peared in the North of Ireland, at Drenmm, near (o Lisburn, county Down, in the month of April 1860, How the contagium was conveyed to Ireland has never been satisfactorily ascertained. By some it is sup�posed to have been token from Scotland by drovcru,

By the middle of July 1866 tho disease had been effectually stamped out in Scotland, and in conse. quence thereof an Order of Council, bearing date 11th August was issued, suspending all restrictions as to the movements of cattle in that country. The Order sot forth that quot;from and after the 13th day of August quot; 1866,, and subject to the further Orders of the Lords quot; of the said Council, nil the provisions contained in quot; any Order of Council restraining or regulating the quot; movements of animals -within Scotland, or any part quot; thereof, and all orders of any local authority in quot; Scotland made under or in virtue thereof, and all quot; the provisions contained in any Order of Council quot; prohibiting or regulating the holding of markets, quot; fairs, auctions, exhibitions, or sale of cattle within quot; Scotland, or any part thereof, and all orders of any quot; local authority in Scotland made under or in virtue quot; thereof, shall be suspended ; provided, that nothing quot; herein contained shall prevent any local authority quot; in Scotland, or the officer or officers appointed quot; thereby, from granting ' fat stock or store stock' quot; licences, under the Order of 11 th April 1866, for quot; the removal of cattle from Scotland to England or quot; elsewhere beyond Scotland.quot;

Subsequent to the issuing of this Order five cases of plague were officially reported as having occurred at West Kilbride, county of Ayr. As may be easily understood, this supposed fresh outbreak excited the liveliest apprehensions lest the disease might again obtain a footing in the country. These fears were, however, quickly set at rest by further professional investigation made by Professor McCall. This gentle�man reported that tho animals had not died of cattle plague, but of splenic apoplexy ; an opinion which was coincided in by the inspector who had originally reported the cases, and also by other inspectors whom he had consulted. So keenly alive, however, wero the Scotch to the necessity of preserving their country against a reintroduction of tho disease, that although an Order of Council was issued to prohibit the removal of stock from England into Scotland, tho Highland and Agricultural Society, and also the Chamber of Agriculture, memorialised the Lords of the Council to suspend the great autumnal cattle trysts and markets.

The memorial of the Highland Society set forth� 1st, quot; That the holding of lean and store markets for quot; cattle should for the present be entirely suspended, laquo;' and that especially Falkirk cattle trysts should not quot; be held. That the directors had come to this reso-quot; lution after communication with all the local autho-quot; rities in Scotland.quot;

The memorial of the Chamber of Agriculture pointed out that the Order of Council of August Uth did not secure Scotland against tho re-introduction of the cattle plague from England, and it urged that the transport of cattle from England should be fenced about with more stringent conditions as to licences, amp;c. The Chamber, moreover, quot; humbly recommended and quot; earnestly pressed upon their Lordships the necessity, quot; under existing circmnstaucos, of prohibiting all 17966.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;M

AVl'ENDIX II. TO TUE UKrOBT ON TUE

whilst by others it is thought that Um introduction was uot ultogothor ucciJ�utnl. A ciiltio fair was hold about four miles from Droiumn, a week previously to the uppeuranco of the disease, but none of the cuttle #9632;which afterwards became infected hud been taken there, nor were any drovers from either Scotluud or Engluud known to have visited the farm where the disonso origiimlly appeared.

No soonor, however, was the fact of the outbreak of the plague ascertained than the arrangements for meeting the einergency were made as perfect as pos�sible. Cordons were drawn round the infected places, and strictly kept by the constabulary. All the diseased animals were killed anil buried, and also every one that had been in contact with thoin. All persons who had gone into, or near to the infected place were disinfected by the constabulary, and no horses nor vehicles were allowed to bo taken beyond prescribed boundaries.

The entire number of animals exposed to the infection was 50 ; and out of these 29 were attacked, and either died or were killed, and 21 were slaughtered healthy.

Nothing can show more clearly the propriety of a speedy adoption of the quot; stamping-out process.quot; It equals the result obtained in France, where, as has been stated in a former part of this lieport, only 43 animals, healthy and diseased, were sacrificed to the poleaxe, the country being thereby effectually freed from the plague. (A special report relating to Ireland is given at page 288 et seq.)

Besides the direct losses sustained from the cattle plague, England experienced an indirect and serious one in the destruction of newly born calves. The necessity for supplying London alone with milk led to the slaughter of calves by many farmers within a radius of 100 miles of the metropolis, that they might bo enabled to send all the milk they could obtain to the dairymen, the retail price having risen from Ad. to Gd. a quart. The Great Northern Hallway, which for the seven months preceding August 1865 had brought into London on the average 595 gallons of milk daily, brought for the subsequent three months 765 gallons. The North-western, which during a similar period hud averaged 342 gallons a day, now increased rapidly to 2,480 gallons. The Great Western, which hitherto had brought comparatively little, suddenly rose to an average of 2,071 gallons daily, and in the last month of the year brought in the aggregate 103,214 gallons. The South-eastern, which hud averaged 643 gallons daily, did not, however, materially increase, as during the last three months of 1865 the average only rose to 679 gallons per day. The Great Eastern averaged 2,540 gallons a day up to August, and after that month it increased to an average of 3,157 gallons. The averages for October, November, and December were 3,760 gallons daily, by the South-western, and by the London and Brighton Railway 233 gallons. The total daily supply of country milk thus brought by the several railways into the metropolis was 13,145 gallons, or, in the aggregate 4,732,200 gallons an�nually. Besides this quantity, largo supplies arrived daily by road from farms in the immediate neigh�bourhood of the Metropolis.

A further loss of calves was sustained by the slaughter of nearly all of those which were born in the London cowsheds, the restrictions against the re�moval of cattle alive from the metropolis leading to their destruction. Doubtless some were smuggled out, but nevertheless the long established custom of taking calves from London to the country for weaning was

put a stop to, and farmers who had hitherto boon in the practice of either fatting calves or roaring young stock, now sold the milk of their cows.

Not only did milk rise 50 per cent, in price, but the effect of the cattle plague was further felt by the diminished value of cattle food in the metropolis. Mungold-wurzel, which hitherto had been sold at \L Iraquo;, per ton, fell to 7*. The price of hay fell 1/. per load. Distillers' wash and grains lost all value ; and brewers' grains, which had been selling at Qs. per quarter before the outbreak of the plague, not only became valueless, but persons wore paid dd. per quarter for taking them uway. The Metropolitan market tolls and dues also declined 70 per cent, in value.

The efteet upon the price of meat could not bo easily ascertained. Retail butchers took advantage of the punic, and raised the price of beef in some districts as much as 2d. per lb. Mutton and pork were also increased in price in proportion, although many of the butchers were buying cattle in the Metropolitan Market, and dead meat of the wholesale dealers in tlio different markets of London, at re�markably low rates. This anomalous state of things arose from the eircumstance that farmers kept clearing off their stock by forced sales, for fear of a greater loss, and also that large numbers of animals were sent to carcase-butchers,�quot;slaughtered healthyquot;� on farms and premises visited by the plague.

The aggregate losses from the plague were very unequally distributed in the several counties of the United Kingdom, indeed some of them escaped entirely.

This immunity in no way depended on the altitude of these parts of the kingdom, compared with others in which the plague produced its greatest ravages, nor upon their geological formation. It matters not to what height hills may rise, let but the virus of the plague be carried to the cattle on their summits, and the disease will spread. Like a fire, it will feed upon combustible material so long as any lies in its way.

The six counties in England which sustained the greatest losses were�

1.nbsp; Cheshire.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;4. Cambridge.

2.nbsp; Yorkshire.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;5. Cumberland.

3.nbsp; Lincoln.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;6. Shropshire.

The six from which the smallest number of cases of the disease was reported, were�

1.nbsp; Rutland.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 4. Somerset.

2.nbsp; Dorsetshire.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;5. Devon.

3.nbsp; nbsp;Wilts.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 6. Worcestershire. The only English county which escaped was�

Westmoreland. The six counties of Scotland which suffered the most were�

1.nbsp; nbsp;Forfar.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 4. Stirling.

2.nbsp; Perth.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 5. Lanark.

3.nbsp; Fife.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 6. Kincardine. The six which suffered the least were�

1.nbsp; Inverness.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 4. Roxburgh.

2.nbsp; Peebles.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;5. Kirkcudbright.

3.nbsp; nbsp;Selkirk.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;6. Berwick.

The counties from which no returns of cases were received, were�

Argyllshire.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Elgin.

Banffshire.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Nairn.

Caithness.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; Sutherland.

The Shetland and Orkney Islands, as well as the Western Islands, also escaped.

In Wales only two counties, viz. Flint and Denbigh, were visited by the disease, and of these Flint sus-taiulaquo;d the heaviest loss.

The Progress ox the Cattle Plague in tue Metropolis.

In the preceding section of this Report the history of the original outbreak of the cattle plaguo in the Metropolis, together with its rapid spread not only to many of the dairy establishmcnts therein but to distant parts of the country, has been narrated.

Its subsequent progress both in the Metropolis and the immediate neighbourhood includes much that is instructive, in showing some of the causes which led to a continuance of the disease, and us such we pro�pose to devote a few pages to its consideration.

OATTLK PLAGUE IN GRKAT BRITAIN.

It is first of all worthy of romnrk that tho issue of the Order of Council, July 24th, 18�5, which gave power to tho Clork of tho Council to appoint inspoctors within tho limits of the Metropolitan Police District, and ftlso required tho owners of diseased cattle to give notice of tho attack, produced exactly tho opposite of tho intended offect. A few notico papers were returned to the Clerk of tho Council properly filled up ; but, in tho generality of instances, tiio appoarauco of tho cattle plague was tho signal for tho dairymen to got rid at all hazards of tho apparently healthy animals, then on tho premises, hy sending thom to tho Metropolitan Market, perfectly regardless of tho mischief resulting therefrom. This practice was well shown by the fact, subsequently ascertained, that, despite the Order of Council of Augustllth, which gave power to inspoctors to enter on premises when reasons existed for suspecting disease to be present, and also enjoined that quot; no person shall, without tho quot; licence of the inspector, send to market or remove quot; from his premises any animal which has been quot; horded, or been in contact with any animal labour-quot; ing under such disorderquot; (the plague), upwards of five hundred cows wore sent from infected dairies into the Metropolitan Market up to the end of August in addition to those otherwise disposed of. The enormous extent of the plague at that time in London is further shown by the circumstance that in tho parish of Marylebone, where the disease was very severe at the outset, upwards of 600 cows, being a moiety of tho entire number kept, had either died, been slaughtered, or sold by about the middle of August. Very frequently cows were sent into the market when visibly suffering from the disease, and now and then in such an advanced stage of the malady that they could not be removed from the market area into the slaughter-house which was set apart for the reception of diseased animals, but had to be killed on the spot whore they were discovered. Many others, both diseased and infected were found by the inspectors on the premises of their owners, ready slaughtered and dressed for the meat market. The larger part, however, of tho cows which had been exposed to the infection were sold for removal to other dairies either in the town or country, and in this manner also the London dairymen did their best to spread the disease far and wide.

Notwithstanding the rapidity with which the cattle plague extended to the various cowsheds, its introduc�tion did not appear, as far as could be discovered, to be due to direct contact of diseased cows with the healthy, except in comparatively few instances. Now and then the answer to the inquiry would be, quot; I bought a cow in the market a week before the quot; disease broke out,quot; but usually it was found that no introduction of fresh stock had taken place for several weeks previously. All the evidence, upon tho subject of tho conveyance of the virus from place to place, points to the conclusion that in tho Metropolis and its neighbourhood by far the larger majority of the cases arose from indirect communication. Dairymen were in the habit of frequenting the Metropolitan Market, where, as has been stated, cattle in various stages of tho malady were to be seen nearly every market day. Tho owners of sick animals also paid frequent visits of inquiry to their neighbours. Butchers and drovers, and it may be added inspectors also, helped to spread the disease by passing inadvertently from sick to healthy cattle without previously changing, cleaning, or disinfecting their clothes and boots. Even dead animals, prior to the Order of August 11th, which also required that all cattle dying of the disorder, or slaughtered on account thereof, should be buried on the promises, or as near thereto as practicable, were carried through tho streets, and close by cowsheds, in open carts to knackers' yards and similar places without being disinfected or any common precautions adopted to prevent the droppings from the carcase marking tho way the cart had travelled. Cases were idso not imf'rcqucut of dead cows being loft on promises among healthy ones for a day or more ; and instances

M m

wore reported of animals lying (lend in tho feeding grounds, on tho outskirts of tho metropolis, for two or three days together before being removod,

Meanwhile diligent inquiry was made in all parts of tho town, and us soon as infonniition was obtained of the prevalence of plague in a particukr locality a visit of inspection was promptly mmlo, and if necessary an inspector was at once appointed for tho district.

By Order of Council of August 26tli, power was given to the inspectors to seize and slaughter animals attacked with tho plague; but this only incroasod the opposition which had all along been offered to tho government measures by the cowkeopcrs. The power to slaughter was consequently never excreised to any extent, and not at all in the mannor in�tended, viz., at the beginning of the attack, when such a proceeding would have been rnost effective.

The burial of tho dead being so frequently found to be impracticable in the confined space of a London dairy, care was now taken to prevent further mischief in the removal of the carcases, either to the knackers, or to places fitted for tho immediate boiling of them down. In either case tho inspectors were specially instructed to see that no removal took place until the carcases were properly disinfected.

In numerous instances the dairymen manifested an eager desire to treat tho sick cows, and readily bought presumed specifics and followed the directions of empirics who did not fail to take adTantage of the prevalence of a new disease to proffer their remedies. A short time only sufficed to show the utter uselessness of medical treatment; but, notwith�standing this and all the Government could do to discourage such proceedings, opposition on every side had to bo encountered. The curability of the plague was fully believed in, and the propriety of giving encouragement to persons to try their skill was as stoutly insisted on.

The stimulating plan of treatment found most favour with tho public, and it was just at this juncture that an opportunity was afforded by an outbreak of the plague among the dairy cows belonging to Miss Burdett Coutts, at Holly Lodge, Highgate, of putting it fairly to the test.

As may be supposed, no means were left untried in this instance to arrest the progress of the disease and also to effect its cure by medical treatment. Wine, brandy, and whisky, tonics and diffusible stimulants, cooked food and invigorating beverages, were used ad libitum, but all to no purpose. The disease ran its course unchecked, und soon swept away every animal but one of tho herd.

The advocates for the spontaneous origin of the plague believed that they had found in this outbreak full proof of the correctness of their views, as the herd was an isolated one, and no newly purchased animals bad come among it. An investigation, how�ever, soon showed how tho malady hail been introduced. A portion of the feeding ground was used by a butcher for keeping sheep, and it was ascertained that some sheep which had been several times to the Metro�politan Market, had been sent, direct to the premises. A free communication had thus been established between the market and the herd.

Tho serious losses which the keepers of cattle wore sustaining soon led a sympathising public to speak of compensation; and foremost in the effort to raise a fund for this purpose was the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London, Equally anxious also was the Municipality of devising a scheme for tho medical treatment of diseased animals.

As early as the 17th of August a meeting con�vened by tho Lord Mayor was held at the Mansion House, quot; to consider the most desirable means to be quot; adopted to avert the spread of the disease among quot; cattle.quot; At this mooting the necessity of treatment was strongly urged, as was also tho propriety of establishing a sanatorium for the reception of dis�eased COWS from the London dairies and metropolitan district. The discussion ended in the appointment of a committee quot; to co-operate with the markets com-2

APPENDIX II. TO THE REPORT ON THE

laquo; mittco in provonting tho tiprcad of the disease.quot; It appears that tho committeo first directed its atten�tion to tho subject of compensation, as at its meeting on August 19th it resolved�

quot; 1. That in tho opinion of this committeo, in order quot; to stay tlio progress of the plague, it ;is expedient quot; to raise a fund by public subscription to eompensato quot; owners of cattle falling with the disease within tho quot; Metropolitan District.

quot; 2. That in tho opinion of this committee a com-quot; mittee should bo formed for tho purpose of adminis-quot; tering the fund, and that the several vostx'ies and quot; local boards in the metropolis be requested to nolaquo; quot; ininate gentlemen to act thereon.quot;

At a second meeting, also convened by the Lord Mayor, held at tho Mansion House on August 23d, tho committee brought up its report embodying the fore�going resolutions, and setting forth among other things, that quot; your committee have also considered tho esta-quot; blishment of hospitals or Sanatoriums where diseased quot; animals could be sent for medical treatment, but as quot; it was stated to them that tho establishment of such quot; places would be antagonistic to the late Orders of quot; Council on this subject, your committee beg to quot; suggest that tho question should be left to tho quot; consideration of tho committee to be hereafter quot; appointed.quot;

On August 31st the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the chairman of the markets committee, several mem�bers of the corporation, medical men, and others, waited,on the Government for the purpose of ob�taining its sanction quot; to the establishment of sana-quot; toriums within the metropolitan district to which quot; diseased cattle could be conveyed from tho cowsheds quot; in order that they might thus receive medical quot; treatment, and be, if possible, restored to health.quot; Tho subject was also officially brought before tho notice of the Court of Common Council, a special meeting of which was held at Guildhall on September 5th, quot; for the purpose of taking into consideration the quot; propriety of voting tho sum of 1,000/. towards a quot; fund for compensating the owners of such cattle as quot; may fall with the plague within the Metropolitan quot; district, and for the establishment of Sanatoriums quot; for the separation and cure of tho cattle affected.quot; The motion, after a protracted debate, was carried unanimously.

These proceedings had an important bearing on the whole question of dealing with the cattle plague, involving as they did the means to be employed for its suppression. The Government, therefore, required an opinion from the Veterinary Department, and the following report was sent to tho Clerk of the Council:� quot; Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;September 8th, 1865.

quot; With reference to the copy of the opinion quot; of the ' Metropolitan Cattle Plague Committee' quot; on the establishment of Sanatoriums for diseased quot; cattle, and also to tho copy of the report of the quot; committee appointed at a public meeting of cow-quot; keepers and others, relating to the same subject, quot; whicli have been forwarded to mo for reporting quot; thereon, I beg to inform you that I have fully con-quot; gidered the question, and have now the honour to quot; submit to you the conclusions at which I have quot; arrived.quot;

quot; In the first place, I may remark that the quot; manner in which the 'Metropolitan Cattle Plague quot; Committee' has seen fit to use my name in the quot; memorial, would lead to the inference that I was in quot; favour of establishing Sanatoriums, whereas at every quot; meeting of tho committee I spoke laquo;gainst the propo-quot; sition, and on a division taking place voted with the quot; minority ngainst it.

quot; Throughout the memorial the Metropolitan Com-quot; mittee seem to have based their arguments in favour quot; of such establishments, rather on the provisions of quot; the Order of Council of August 11th, than on those quot; of tho Order of August 2�th. Thus we find tho '* committee objecting to infected animals being kept quot; alive in a confined space, whereas by the latter

Order ' power is given to tho inspector to seize and ' slaughter or cause to bo slaughtered forthwith ' and buried in any convenient place any animal lt; suffering from tho plague.'

quot; Tho establishment of Sanatoriums, on a scale contemplated by the Metropolitan Committee, I regard ns perfectly impraeticable, and not only so, but if founded that they would be one of the greatest evils possible to conceive, by tending to perpetuate and keep active tho contagium on which tho cattle plague depends.

quot; Day and night plague carts would bo traversing the streets, and day and night the seeds of tho disease would be disseminated far and wide. No precautions which could bo taken in the continuous removal of diseased animals could sufficiently guard against this.

quot; Another of the arguments used by the Committee is based on the supposition that tho plague is a curable disease, than which nothing can be more fallacious.

quot; The experience already gained in this country fully confirms that of Europe as a whole, via., that whenever the plague breaks from its stronghold in Russia and invades other countries, medical skill is powerless in arresting its progress by the mere application of curative measures. quot; The only result obtained in England by the adop�tion of medical treatment has been that of prolonging for a time the life of tho pest-stricken animal. This, however, when practically considered in reference to the extermination of the disease, is a circumstance greatly to be regretted, for the danger of spreading the disease is thereby immensely increased, as from tho moment of the attack to the death of the animal pestiferous exhalations are continuously sent forth from its body.

quot; One other and a most important objection to the establishment of Sanatoriums in London is that of leading to the founding of them in every great town in the kingdom, and even in rural districts, a measure which would convert England into one great pesthouse, and as assuredly lead to the destruction of the whole, or the greater part of her cattle.

quot; The policy of almost every country has been to rid itself of this death-producing and infectious cattle disease as quickly ns possible, by sacrificing tho few that the many may bo saved ; and the soundness of this policy is shown by the whole of Europe, west�ward of a line drawn from Mcmel on the Baltic to Trieste on the Gulf of Venice, having been pre�served from any serious outbreak of the cattle plague for a period of nearly forty years. quot; With reference to the proposed establishment of a temporary hospital at Fulhsim, as advocated at the meeting of cowkeepers, dairymen, and others, held at St. Paul's National School Room, Hammer�smith, I may remark that, although the'general ques�tion of treatment has been disposed of in this report, nevertheless, it may be as well to add that at the Royal Veterinary College, where, from the beginning of the visitation up to the present time, infected animals have been admitted, the united skill of the medical and veterinary profession has signally failed in curing the disease. A result of this kind cannot justify another institution being founded, even for temporary purposes, bo it on a smaller or larger scale.

quot; In conclusion I would remark that if the Orders of Council are faithfully and regularly enforced, especially with regnrd to killing and burying the infected animals within the sphere of action of the Metropolitan Cattle Plague Committee, and if compensation to a fixed amount be given to all cow-keepers who are obliged to slaughter their animals, the greatest possible good will arise. Many persons will thereby bo saved from impending ruin, and the country be secured from further loss through diseased animals being surreptitiously removed, alaquo; now, from tho cowsheds to tho cattle market.

quot; To the Clerk of the Council.quot;

On fully considering the whole subject the Govern�ment declined to modify its Orders of Council, and consequently the city authorities wore prevented from carrying out their scheme for establishing Sanatoriums. Their compensation fund also received so little support that ultimately the 1,000/. was returned to the city coffers, and the additional sum subscribed to the respective donors, minus a pro rata deduction for preliminary expenses, amounting to 10 per cent.

In common witli other parts of the metropolis the plague penetrated into the City cowsheds, but not until it had caused grout destruction outside the city boundaries. The precise means by which the infection was carried could not be ascertained, but it is not im�probable, as the first cases occurred in Warwick Lane, between Newgate Meat Market on the one side, and Tyler's Market on the other, and also very near to a common slaughter-house, that the morbific matter was conveyed by the flesh of plague-stricken animals.

A practice prevailed pretty generally in London, not excepting the Metropolitan Cattle Market, of sending the carcases of animals which had been slaughtered in the early stages of the malady^to the dead meat market, if the flesh was found to present a healthy appearance. Besides this highly objection�able procedure, no sufficient precautions were observed in the various slaughter-houses witli regard to the disposal of the offal, or the ingesta and fteculent matters removed from the stomachs and intestinal canal. No doubt this neglect proved a fertile source of mischief by spreading the morbific matter of the plague to a far greater extent than it would otherwise have been diffused.

The disease once introduced into the city sheds soon extended its ravages. The whole of the cows, twenty-eight in number, in the shed originally visited, were quickly swept away by death or slaughter. The same thing also occurred in the other sheds con�tiguous thereto.

Among the most interesting of the metropolitan outbreaks, however, was the one which took place in the gardens of the Zoological Society. Here again the introduction of the disease could not bo traced, but probably it depended on the flesh of diseased cattle brought to the gardens for the carnivora. The first animal attacked was a Piedmontese cow, which fell ill on October 1st 1865. Early on the following morning she was removed to the Royal Veterinary College, all proper precautions being taken. She was here subjected to treatment, and ultimately recovered, the case from the outset proving to be a remarkably mild one. On October Ilth, a Tus�cany bull, which occupied an adjacent building to that in which the cow had been kept, was attacked. This animal suffered severely, and was consequently killed on October 14th. The third ease occurred on October 12th to a Piedmontese bull, which had been kept with the cow up to the time of her showing symptoms of the disease. This case was also a severe one, and the animal died on October 16th. The fourth animal attacked was a female Yak, She occupied a shed in the same range of buildings, distant only a few yards from the Piedmontese cattle. Sho was observed to be ill on the eighth day succeeding the death of the Piedmontese bull. Her sufferings were most acute, and sho died in great agony on October 29th ; the fifth day of illness. No means were left untried to arrest the progress of the difioasc, and fortunately they proved successful in limiting the attacks to the animals named.

By a consolidated Order of Council, dated Sep�tember 22d, the Lord Mayor was appointed the Local Authority for the city and the liberties thereof, with power to appoint inspectors ; but the rig'at of these

appointments within the limits of the Metropolitan Police District was still reserved to the Clerk of tho Council. By tho same Order it was decreed, that quot; during tho continuance of the cattle plague within quot; tho said city of London, or that part of the Metro-quot; politan Police District which is under the juris-quot; diction of tho Metropolitan Board of Works, no quot; animal shall be brought or sent to tho Metropolitan quot; Cattle Market, or any other market within tho said quot; city or tho said part of tho Metropolitan Police quot; District, except for the purpose of being there sold quot; for immediate slaughtering; and every such animal quot; as soon as sold shall be marked for slaughter in quot; the manner in which cattle are ordinarily marked quot; for slaughter in the Metropolitan Cattle Market.quot; From this time the market practically becamo one for fat cattle only, but oven this limitation had but little effect over the diffusion of the plague. So rife indeed was the disease in tho country, that it was often found by tho butchers that symptoms of the plague were developed in tho cattle bought for slaughter, within a few days of purchase; and as tho movement of animals was not yet restricted to tho metropolis, so it happened again and again that tho plague was carried back to distant parts of the country.

On February 6th, 1866, an Order of Council was passed defining tho metropolis as quot; any parish or quot; place within tho jurisdiction of tho Metropolitan quot; Board of Works, exclusive of the city of London quot; and the liberties thereof, and also exclusive of that quot; part of the county of Kent which is included quot; in such jurisdiction, and which is situated to the quot; north of tho Thames.quot; It was also decreed that quot; no person having in his possession or under his quot; charge any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, ox, or calf quot; within the metropolis, whether such animal has quot; been in the Metropolitan Cattle Market or not, quot; shall convey or remove, cause to be conveyed or quot; removed, or attempt to convoy or remove, any such quot; animal out of the metropolis, except into the city quot; of London or the liberties thereof.quot;

Power was also given by the same Order to tho Commissioner of Police to grant licences for the movement of cattle within tho metropolis ; no such movement being allowed for a greater distance than 500 yards without such licence, excepting in tho case of animals intended for immediate slaughter, going to or from the Metropolitan Cattle Market, The regu�lations of the Order of Council of September 22d, 1865, with reference to the slaughtering of cattle bought in tho market, were also made more stringent, by requiring that quot; every person buying any such quot; animal in the said market shall slaughter the same, quot; or cause the same to be slaughtered within seven quot; days of such purchase,quot; The appointment of in�spectors for tho metropolis remained with tho Clerk of the Council ; but the power to appoint them throughout the Metropolitan Police district was re�voked. The provisions of the Order were enforced, as in former Orders, by a line of twenty pounds for a violation of any of its regulations,

A cordon was thus practically drawn around the metropolis, and tho contaffium of cattle plague was no longer carried directly by animals from London into the country. The good cllecls of this soon became apparent. Indeed it may be said that this regulation, which is still in force, has done more to preserve; the country from further outbreaks of plague than almost any one thing beside.

The time of the greatest prevalence of tho dis�ease in tho Metropolis was iti the autumn of 1865, By February 1866 it had nearly ceased ; the cases reported in the last two weeks of that month amounting to an average of only eight per week, Jn March 1866, however, an accession of the dis�ease took place. The cases occurred among some cows which had been imported from llollaiul and landed in London on tho 7tli, 12th, 16th, and 2Ist of March respectively. Tho cows were purchased by dairymen, and and most of them were taken to premises situated cither in Paddington, Bayswater,

AmCNDIX II. TO THE BKPORT ON THE

Bothntil Groon, Wostminster, or Woolwich. Somo of them, howovor, were smuggled over the Metropolitan boniidiuy, nnd found their wny to Goldurs G-rcon, Childs Hill, and Hendon, In each of these places the cnttin plague broke out, the Dutch cows being tho first aff�cted; but as on some of the premises to which they were taken, the plague had previously prevailed, it was thought to bo at least possible that somo sources of infection might have been loft. To tho solution of this point therefore inquiry was directed.

All the animals which were landed at tho different dates in March were traced as far as possibly could bo done, for the purpose of ascertaining tho time which had elapsed between tho period of landing and their showing signs of the plague. It was found that in somo instances tho symptoms of illness had been seen in seven days after the day of landing; but in others that the animals had remained healthy for eight and even ten days after reaching this country. Thus it was doubtful, so far as evidence on tho point of time was concerned, whether the disease existed in the incubative stage before the cows loft Rotterdam, or had been contracted immediately on their reaching the premises of tho purchaser. Against this latter as�sumption, however, it must be stated that in most of these instances there had been no cases of plague for many weeks previously in the sheds, and that tho whole of the premises had been cleansed and disin�fected. Further inquiry resulted in tho attainment of positive proof of the existence of tho disease in its incubative stage, in the cargo landed on March 15th, as some of those cows were attacked with plague on March 18th, and communicated tho disease to other animals in the shod to which they had been taken. Some of the cows also from tho cargoes landed on March 12th, 15th, and 21st wore detained by the Customs inspectors on account of the existence of quot;mouth and foot complaint,quot; and these were subsequently attacked with the plague, although they did not come in contact with London cows. No less than ten of them were killed. Two recovered, but were kept in quarantine for a long time before being delivered to the owner.

The conclusions which appeared to be most consonant with all the facts were, that infected cows had been sent from Holland to this country on more than ono occasion during March 1866, and certainly were so on March 7th and 15th. That in some instances, how�ever, it was only probable the cows hod the disease before they were landed ; while in others the evidence was in favour of the animals having received the infection after arrival in this country.

This importation of cattle plague cows into the port of London suddenly increased the weekly average of cases, so that for the first week of April tho attacks were reported as 42. Owing, however, to tho adop�tion of vigorous measures as soon as tho existence of the malady was detected, its force was materially diminished, and after April very few cases were reported by the Inspectors. By September the plague was effectually subdued.

Tho re-introduction of the plague above referred to also led to the Order, which prevented the removal of cattle from tho metropolis, being supplemcntocl by another Order, requiring that foreign cattle should be moved only by railway to the Metropolitan Market. Tho terms of the Order were that, from and after its date, viz., April 27th, 1866, quot; Cattle brought by sea quot; from any pinco out of United Kingdom to any place quot; on tho rivers Thames or Medway, westward of tho quot; Noro light, from which place there may be a railway quot; on which cattle can be taken by trains without quot; change of carriages to within 500 yards of the snid quot; market, may be removed along such railway to such quot; market for the purpose of being sold therein for quot; immediate slaughter, subject to tho following quot; regulations,�quot;

1. quot; All such cattle shall bo landed in such manner, quot; at such tinics, nnd subject to such supervision and quot; control as the Commissioners of Customs shall from quot; time to time direct, and shall bo conveyed without quot; stopping, except for tho purpose of feeding or being

quot; watered, from the place where they shall be landed quot; to tho said market.quot;

2.nbsp; * They shall be brought along tho railway in quot; trucks or carriages exclusively sot opart and used ^u for the purpose of convoying cottlo brought from quot; abroad, and coloured with a special colour, or quot; otherwise by distinct mark to be approved of by quot; the Board of Trade, to dosignoto them as so

appropriated, and such trucks and carriages shall, after they luivo been used for the purpose of con�voying any cattle to tho said market, bo thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in such manner as may bo necessary, or as tho said Board of Trade may from quot; time to time direct.quot;

3.nbsp; nbsp;quot; As soon as any truck or carriage shall have quot; convoyed such cattle as aforesaid to tho said market, quot; and discharged them there, and have been so quot; cleansed and disinfected, it shall be removed from quot; tho neighbourhood of the said market, and returned quot; forthwith to tho place from which it shall have ** brought the cattle.quot;

4.nbsp; nbsp;quot; If any truck or carriage is at any time used in quot; contravention of any regulation herein contained, quot; tho company or person by whom it is used shall, quot; every time that such truck or carriage is so used, be quot; liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.quot;

5.nbsp; nbsp;quot; This Order shall be construed in like manner *' as the said Order of the twenty-fourth day of quot; March, and all tho provisions of such last-mentioned quot; Order shall apply to this Order, except so far as quot; they may bo inconsistent with anything herein quot; contained.quot;

The total number of animals which were lost in the Metropolitan dairies from the time of the original outbreak of the plague in June 1865, down to its extermination in September 1866, could not be accurately determined; but that the loss exceeded fifty per cent, of the entire number kept cannot be doubted. According to returns obtained from the inspectors, it appears that 15,555 cows were kept within the Board of Works district at the time of the outbreak of the plague, and of this number the official statistics show a total loss of 7,670 by death and slaughter.

A second outbreak of cattle plague occurred in the Metropolis in January 1867, and singular to relate on the same premises where it was first detected in July 1865.

After tho loss of all tho cows in Mrs. Nicholls' dairy in tho summer of 1865, the sheds were disinfected, and by degrees fresh animals wore brought into them. It was not, however, until several weeks had elapsed from the period of cessation of the disease, that the adjoining lairs were used for the reception of foreign cattle, either prior to, or after their exposure for sale in the Metropolitan Market. Intelligence of this second outbreak was immodiately sent to the Vete�rinary Department, and the most energetic measures wort adopted to prevent the spread of the disease, and, as the result proved, with perfect success. A most diligent inquiry failed to show that any other cases of cattle plague occurred in the metropolis at this time or during tho following February or March.

The outbreak was detected on January 27, 1867, just four months subsequently to tho metropolis having been freed of the disease. Forty-six cows were on the premises at tho time, and of these twenty-eight were killed diseased, the remainder being slaugh�tered healthy. Notwithstanding that the slaughter of the animals was commenced immediately on tho disease being detected, its spread was so rapid that more than half tho entire number were attacked before the slaughtering could bo finished.

No efforts were spared to ascertain with accuracy tho cause of the outbreak, and although positive evidence of this was not obtained, still it could not bo doubted that the infection had been imported from abroad. Foreign cattle to the extent of 1,000 to 1,200 had occupied the lairs adjoining the cowsheds week by week from tho time of their being reopened down

to tho timo of tho roappourauco of tlio cliseuso. The cattle plaguo had not yot boon subdued in Holland, raquo;ud not only so, but singularly enough tho outbreak in London occuiTod simultaneously with tho reappearance of the disease in liolgium. Importations of cattle from Antwerp wore weekly going on, which, conjoined with tho manuor the pltvguo had obtained an entrance into Belgium, makes it very probable that infected animals had been sent here, through tho port of Antwerp. In tho former part of this report it has been explained that tho plague on this occasion had entered Belgium from llhenish Prussia, flrst making its appearance at Hassolt. Its conveyance to Ehenish Prussia is said to have deponded on a cattle dealer at Eindhovor iullollund, having surreptitiously removed some cattle, which had been herded with diseased animals, from that placo to Cologne. They were bought at Cologno by a Belgian dealer and forwarded direct to Hasaelt taking the plague with them. If, therefore, these respective outbreaks had not an allied origin, a simultaneous appearance of the plague in Hasselt and London must bo regarded as a most remarkable coincidence.

Another theory was advanced at the time to account for the appearance of the disease. It was said that the shed in which the first cow was attacked had been recently paved, and that a portion of the flooring was formed of bricks which had been taken up from another shed, called the hospital shed, from the cir�cumstance that, during the progress of the plague in 1865, many sick cows had been kept there for treatment. An investigation into the circumstances proved that the opinion of the outbreak having been thus occasioned was quite fallacious. Plague-stricken cows had been kept in tdl the sheds, and after they were removed each shed was disinfected in the same way; viz., the floorings were taken up, and the bricks well cleaned and afterwards stacked. The bricks of the hospital shed were stacked in the shed, the others in the open yard. As fresh cows were purchased, the hospital shed, whore tho suspected bricks were stacked, was used for a quarantine shed, and the animals after remaining in it for some time were re�moved to the principal shod. This system had been carried on successfully for several months before tho outbreak of plague in January.

Even had the bricks been left unclcaned, it is very unlikely that any virus which might be attached to them would have retained its activity for 18 months. With a knowledge of the fact, however, that all the bricks in the sheds were exposed to the same clean�ing and disinfecting process, and that all had been tested, again and again, by being brought in contact with cattle for several eonseentive months, it is im�possible to refer the origin of the second outbreak of the plague to the existence of active quot; contagium quot; in the bricks although some of them had been used to complete a portion of tho flooring on the opposite side of the shed to that where the cow stood which was first attacked with tho phigue.

A third outbreak of tho plague in the Metropolis took place in April 1867. In the beginning of this month a suspicion that the disease had been re-introduced into tho cast of London was excited in consequence of it being rumoured that some foreign cattle, commonly known as white Austrian cattle, had died in the slaughter-houses, whither thoy had been taken from tho Metropolitan Market, and also that some of the dairymen in the same neighbourhood had been clearing their sheds of cows. The disinclination to give notice of the existence of the disease was indeed not lessened, in any degree according to our observation, by compensation being allowed for slaugh�tered animals.

In the early period of the prevalence of the plague the opposition of the dairymen to the Orders of Council was alleged to bo based upon a desire to avoid the pecuniary loss which was certain to follow the pro�hibition of removing the cattle from the premises, or by their compulsory slaughter. After tho passing of the Act which enabled the owners of sick or infected cattle

to claim a remuneration, admittedly greater than they could obtain by tlio surreptitious sale of tho diseased animals, the objection immediately arose that tlio loss of business consequent upon tho publication of the fact of tho plague having attacked their cows, was of more consequence than the loss of the animals. Hence tho practical result in both instances was the same.

So much care indeed was taken to avoid publicity, that it was not until several sheds had been entirely emptied, and many cows, that had stood by diseased ones, boon sent to the Metropolitan Market, that tho oxistenco of the malady was positively ascertained. Owing to this, the plague had advanced considerably before any eftbetual means could bo employed to restrain its progress, and in succession animals were attacked at Limohouse, llaggerston, Stoke Newington, Hackney, Whitechapol, Islington, Clerkcnwell, Pad-dington, Wormwood Scrubs, Chelsea, Barking, liamp-stead, and Bermondsey.

Tho plague was flrst detected by us at Limohouse on April 27th, and the last cases of it were seen at Bermondsey on August 26, 1867. Neither the place, nor the date at which the first cases had really oc�curred, could be ascertained; but it was satisfactorily proved that tho dairyman at Limchouse, to whom tlio diseased cows belonged which we saw, had got rid of no less than thirty-nine milking cows between April 14th and the 27th.

The subjoined return shows the ascertained out�breaks on this occasion, and the date at which the disease is alleged to have been flrst detected in each case. The return is, however, necessarily imperfect for the reasons previously assigned.

As has been explained, the full amount of I be loss from this third visitation of the cattle plague could not bo ascertninod, but it ought not to be fixed at less than six to seven hundred. Officially, I ho num�ber was reported as 525, so that taking I ho three outbreaks of the cattle plague together, a total loss, according to tho official returns, was sustained in the metropolis of 8,241 animals; viz., by the first outbreak 7,670, the second 46, and the third 525.

APPENDIX II. TO THE BEPOUT ON THE

With the destl'uo��n of tho (jlnguo Btriokon cnttlo laquo;t Berraondsey tho disease was vimmlly mmiliiluted both in tho metropolis mul in tho couutiy generally. Sii)co then cattle have Buooumbodj in several pai'ts of Eaglaud and Scotland, to malignant diseases which presented many of tho symptoms mid morbid appoar-tmccs of plague. Indued in some of these cases tho resemblance was so exact that it was deemed expe�dient to have reconrso to inoculation in order to rc-movo tho doubt Tho malady, however, proved to bo non-infectious in every instance when thus attempted to bo propagated, and in the greater number of cases only a small portion of the herd, sometimes only ono or two animals, wore attacked. These cases will bo given in detail in a (subsequent part of this report.

With reference to the introduction of the disease into tho metropolis on tho last occasion, no reasonable doubt can be entertained of its having been brought in by white Austrian cattle. Indeed it has been ascer�tained that some of these animals died with tho plague in less than a week after their arrival. It was even admitted by interested parties that the animals were tho subjects of tho plagne ; but they attempted to explain the fact, by asserting that the cattle had boon sent to Mrs. Nioholl's lairs at Islington, and consequently had contracted the plague after arriving in this country. This statement is, however, without sufficient founda�tion, as these lairs had not only been thoroughly cleansed and disinfected after the slaughter of Mrs. Nieholls' cows at tho beginning of February, but subsequently to the middle of that month, and therefore for a period of six weeks antecedent to this outbreak, they had been regularly occupied by both English and Foreign cattle, without any ill ett'ects resulting therefrom.

In explanation of this outbreak of the plague, it remains to be stated that it occurred simultaneously with the appearance of the disease iu Upper Fraueonia, Bavaria, whither it had been conveyed by infected cattle from Austria (see page 2,^r)7).

The plague, however, not only existed at the time in Austria, but also in Moravia ; and as many of tho white cattle alluded to are fed in the latter named country for exportation to England, it may be a question from which of these countries the plague really came. Most likely it came direct from Austria ; the infected cattle having travelled via Hamburgh to England.

It is worthy of observation that the majority of the animals presented at the outset of the disease several peculiar symptoms, especially a frequent twitching of the muscles of the fore-quorters, commencing at the head and passing quickly down one side or other of the neck of tho animal. This symptom had boon noticed at various times in England, but not to so great an extent, nor so generally as during the period from April to August 1867. The same phenomenon was seen in plague-atfeeted cattle in Galicia in 1858, and the predominance of tho symptom in this out�break in the metropolis, although perhaps not very important evidence, would seem to support the opinion of the disease having been introduced by tho white Austria cattle.

Besides the Orders in Council which have been alluded to, several others were passed, which had special reference to tho metropolis. Thus, by Order of January 29th, 18G7, foreign cattle landed at Southampton were only to be removed by railway direct to the Metropolitan Cattle Market, subject to the following regulations,�

1.nbsp; quot; All such cattle shall be landed in such manner, quot; at such times, and subject to such supervision and quot; control as the Commissioners of Customs shall from quot; time to time direct, and shall be conveyed without quot; stopping, except for tho purpose of feeding or being quot; watered, from the place where they shall be landed quot; to the said market,quot;

2.nbsp; quot; They shall be brought from the pens and sheds quot; at the said docks specially appropriated for cattlo quot; intended for immediate slaughter, and shall bo quot; moved by rail to the railway belonging to tho quot; London and South Western Hallway Company, lt;� and tliencc along such railway iu trucks or carriages

quot; exclusively set apart and used for tho purpose of quot; convoying cattlo brought from abroad, and coloured quot; with a special colour, or otherwise by distinct mark *' to bo approved of by the Lords of tho Council, to quot; designate them as so appropriated, and such trucks quot; and carriages shall, after they luwo been used for �* tho purpose of conveying any cattle to tho said quot; market, bo thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in quot; such manner as may bo necessary, or as tho Lords quot; of tho Council may from time to time direct.quot;

3.nbsp; nbsp;quot; As soon as any truck or carriage shall have quot; convoyed such cattlo as aforesaid to tho said quot; market, and discharged them there, and have boon ^flt; so cleansed and disinfected, it shall bo removed quot; from tho neighbourhood of tho said market, and quot; returned forthwith to tho place from which it shall quot; have brought tho cattlo.quot;

4.nbsp; nbsp;quot; If any truck or carriage is at any time used in ^w contravention of any regulation herein contained, ^(t tho company or person by whom it is used shall, quot; every time that such truck or carriage is so used, '* bo liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.quot;

It having also been found necessary to modify tlio Order of August 8th, 1866, which provided that animals should quot; not bo driven or passed through any quot; infected place, or witiiin ono mile of the outward quot; boundary tburcof,quot; it was decreed by Order of February 1st, 1867, that from and after that date quot; animals, whether intended for immediate slaughter quot; or not, may bo moved within tho metropolis, at a quot; distance not less than one hundred yards from tho quot; outward boundary of any place in the said metro-quot; polls declared to be infected, iu accordance with the quot; provisions of the said Order of the 24th March quot; last, anything in the said Order, or in any other quot; Order, or in any licence duly issued under tho quot; Orders aforesaid, to the contrary notwithstanding.quot;

By an Order of April 11th, 1867 similar provisions to those which had been made for the landing and transport of foreign cattle from Southampton to the Metropolitan Market were enacted with regard to tho Port of Harwich. It was, however, specially en�joined that for tho purpose of better distinguishing tho railway trucks which were exclusively to bo used for tho purpose, they should be quot; coloured with a red stripe two feet wide all round.quot;

Regulations were also made by a second Order of the same date, with respect to home stock brought by the Great Eastern railway to Tottenham Station for the purpose of sale iu the Metropolitan Cattle Market,

The terms of the Order set forth quot; that where quot; cattlo are brought by the Great Eastern Railway quot; to tho station termed the Tottenham Station, and quot; are there discharged to be driven or conveyed to quot; the Metropolitan Cattle Market or lairs, such cattlo quot; may be moved on a highway after sunset on tho quot; Saturday and Sunday of each week, provided that quot; they proceed forthwith from the railway station, quot; along the road commonly called Seven Sisters' Road, quot; with tho licence required for the movement of cattlo quot; during the day time, and provided that the person quot; moving such cattle be provided with a certificate, quot; in writing under the hand of some officer appointed quot; by tho Great Eastern Railway Company, and ap-quot; proved by the said Lords of tho Council, describing quot; the cattlo by proper marks or otherwise, and certi-quot; lying that such cattlo have been brought to such quot; station, and have been discharged therefrom, for tho quot; purpose of being moved to the Metropolitan Cattlo quot; Market or lairs, and setting forth correctly tho day quot; and hour of such discharge.quot;

On May 17th, 1867, another important step was taken for preventing diseased animals being got rid of with the same facility as hitherto, by requiring licences and passes for removal to and from the Metropolitan market. Provision was also made for the return of these passes by the slaughter-house proprietors. Tho enactments of tlic Order wore that�

quot; 1. From and after the 23d day of May instant, quot; cattle may bo brought to tho said market with a quot; licence from the CommiBsioncr of Police of the

quot; 3. From and after the 23d day of May instant no quot; proprietor of any slaughter-house within the limits quot; of the metropolis, including the City of London and quot; the Liberties thereof, shall receive for slaughter any quot; cattle wbicb have been exposed for sale or sold in quot; such Metropolitan Cattle Market, and moved from quot; thence under clause 2 of this Order without such quot; pass as aforesaid properly fdied in, and the proprietor quot; of every such slaugliter-houso shall deliver on the quot; Saturday of every week nil the passes received quot; during the week to the chief officer in charge of the quot; police station of the district in which such slaughter-quot; house is situate.

Within a few days of the passing of this Order a step was taken with regard to the importation of foreign cattle which may bo said to be amongst the most valu�able of the measures hitherto employed for guarding against the introduction of contagious diseases. Hitherto, not only in London but at all the ports, the Customs inspectorraquo; had been accustomed to examine the animals immediately on debarkation, and consequently at a time when symptoms of disease were likely, oven by the most experienced examiner, to be mistaken for those arising from the fatigue and privations of a sea voyage. By Order of May 27th it wiis enacted

179(56,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;N

that the examination should not take place until twelve hours after debarkation, and that no animal should be removed from the place of landing until after that time, and not at all if found to be raquo;uffering from a contagious disease. It was further decreed that foreign cattle, intended to be sent to London, should fjjo direct to the lairs belonging to the Metro�politan Market, or toothers contiguous thereto, which should be licensed for their reception.

To effect these important objects the Order set forth :�

quot; 1. Cattle brought by sea from any place out of quot; the United Kingdom, except the Channeilslands quot; and the Isle of Man, and landed at any place in quot; England, shall not bo moved from the landing quot; place where landed for the period of twelve hours quot; from the time of landing, but shall remain for such quot; period in some lair or other proper place adjacent quot; to such landing place to be provided for their quot; reception, for the purpose of being inspected by a quot; competent inspector, and no cattle raquo;hall be landed quot; from any vessel until such lair or other proper place *' shall have been provided,

quot; 2. If upon inspection any cattle so landed shall be quot; found to be in such u state that in the judgment of quot; the Inspector it woidd be unsafe that such cattle quot; should be moved from the port or place where the quot; same shall have been landed, such cattle shall, with quot; all convenient speed, be slaughtered at the place quot; where landed, or at the nearest slaughter-house.

quot; 3. When by any Order or Oku rs of the Privy quot; Council cattle brought by sea from any place out of quot; the United Kingdom, except the Cliaimel Islands quot; and the Isle of Man, arc permitted to be moved to quot; the Metropolitan Cattle Market, no such cattle quot; shall bo moved to such market except by railway, quot; and all cattle brought by railway to such market quot; shall be discharged from the trucks in which they quot; have been conveyed within one thousand yards of quot; the said Metropolitan Cattle Market, at Islington, quot; and shall be driven immediately upon being so

laquo; dieobarged to such market or to the laivs belonging quot; thereto, or to such other laira us may bo licensed bv quot; the Privy Council for the reception of such cattle,'

It having been found that the provision of the Order of April 27th, 1866, which required the removal of foreign cattle by rail only from the landing place to tho Melropolitnn Market had so operated as to close some of tho chief wharves which had hitherto been used for the cattle trade, a modification of tho Order #9632;was made on July 12th, 1867, for the purpose of allowing tho cattle to bo moved from such wharves by water quot;to some other wharf or landing place quot; within the said port of London, and removed there-quot; from to the said market in accordance with tho pro-quot; visions contained in the Order of May 27th, 1867.quot; Tho privilege, however, was not largely acted upon, and practically these wharves remained shut.

At this time it was likewise found that the regula�tions of March 1866, withrcgard to the removal of hay, straw, litter, and tho dung of animals not being permitted from out of an infected place, except by licence from the local authority, required to be amended. An Order, dated July 16th, 1867, conse�quently enacted that:�

quot; 1. From and after the 17th day of this instant quot; July, notwithstanding the said regulation contained quot; in the said recited Order of the 24th day of March quot; 1866, the dung and litter of animals may be quot; removed out of any place within the districts of the quot; Metropolis, and the City of London including the quot; Liberties thereof, which shall have been or shall quot; bo declared to bo infected within the meaning and quot; operation of the said Order, notwithstanding that quot; such dung shall be the dung of a diseased animal, quot; or that such dung or litter may have been in contact quot; with, or used about, a diseased animal.

quot; 2. Provided that no such dung or litter shall be quot; moved out of such infected place without a licence quot; in writing of some officer appointed by the local quot; authority to issue such licences, certifying that quot; such dung or litter has been thoroughly disinfected, quot; and provided that no such licence shall authorize quot; the removal of such dung or litter beyond tho quot; district of the local authority in which the in-quot; footed place is situate.quot;

On August the 19tli, two other Orders were issued, one withdrawing the privilege from the port of South�ampton, and the other from the port of Harwich, of landing foreign cattle for the purpose of transmitting them by railway to the Metropolitan Market. These Orders came into operation on the 13th of September 1867, since which time all foreign cattle intended for the market have been debarked at tho port of London.

On the clay succeeding the publication of this Order a Metropolitan Consolidated Order was issued, setting forth the regulations which were in force, and amending others. Its provisions were :�

quot; 1, This Order may cited as the Metropolitan quot; Cattle Plague Order of August 1867.

quot; 2. Except as in this Order expressly otherwise quot; provided, this Order shall take effect from and quot; immediately after the 15th day of September 1867 quot; (which time is in this Order referred to as the quot; commencement of this Order).

quot; 8. In this Order words have (ho same meaning quot; as in tho Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of quot; August 1867.

quot;4. No cattle shall be moved out of or within the quot; metropolis except in accordance with the provisions quot; of this Order.

quot; 5. No licence granted (under any other Order quot; of Council) for the movement of cattle from a place quot; beyond the limits of the metropolis shall authorize quot; the movement of such cattle through any part of quot; the metropolis.

quot; 6. No cattle shall be moved alive out of the quot; metropolis; provided that where any person occu-quot; pies a farm situate partly within and partly without quot; tho metropolis, or any other contiguous premises so quot; situate, he may, with a licence from the Cummis-quot; sioner of Police of the metropolis or of the city

*' of London (which licence such Commissioner is quot; hereby empowered from time to time to grant, and quot; if ho thinks fit to revoke), move from one part of quot; such premises to another cattle not affected with quot; cattle plague, which have been in his own posses-'' sion for 28 days or upwards immediately previous quot; to the date of such licence, and have been marked quot; in such manner as the said Commissioner of Police quot; directs.

quot; 7. No cattle shall bo moved along any highway, quot; thoroughfare, or public place within the metropolis, quot; except for a distance not exceeding 500 yards from quot; part to part of the same farm, or to water, without quot; a licence as aforesaid, stating tho number and do-quot; scription of the cattle licensed to bo moved, and quot; tho place of their destination.

quot; 8.

Outbreak of Cattle

While the rinderpest was rapidly extending over England, the position of Ireland was felt to bo critical.. The social and commercial relations between the two countries are so intimate, and the intercommu�nication so constant, that the prevalence of an Infec-tlous disease among the stock in one could not but excite apprehensions for the safety of the animals in the other. Importation of diseased or infected animals was us for as possible guarded against by the issue of

Plague in Ireland.

There existed already ample evldcnee of the possibility of the laquo;onraquo; tngium being carried to great distances by Individuals and also by animals which were not themselves at the

time affected with plague. The danger of indirect communication between infected and healthy beasts was recognized anil strongly insisted upon by the Commissioners appointed by Her Majesty in Septem�ber 1865 to inquire into tho nature and origin of the cattle plague; and with evident reference to tho constant passage between this country and Ireland of persons concerned in the cattle trade special ullusion was made to tho risk of the conveyance of infection to Irish cattle in tho following passage, extracted from their first report, October 31st, 1865 :�

quot; Before this report is concluded some reference quot; should be made to the peculiar cirenmstanees of quot; Ireland. Tho disease not having as yet broken quot; out in that country, there is no necessity for the quot; measures which have been recommended for Great quot; Britain. It is still possible by the adoption of quot; suitable precautions to avert the calamity from quot; Ireland altogether. Tho importation of cattle into quot; that country has already been prohibited for some quot; weeks past. Considering however the destructive quot; character of the disease it will not bo judicious to quot; rely on that precaution alono for escaping it. The quot; evidence which has been luid before us leaves quot; little doubt that it can be conveyed by persons quot; who have been in contact with infected animals as quot; well as by the animals themselves. In case it quot; should by any accident bo carried over the Govern-quot; ment should bo prepared to eradicate it from any quot; spot at which it may appear; and unless prepara-quot; tions are made for doing so before the plague shows quot; itself, the authorities will hardly be in a condition laquo; to act with the necessary speed and vigour when quot; the emergency arises.

quot;In Prussia, upon whoso eastern frontier the laquo; disease frequently appears, a system of prccau-quot; tions has been adopted for stopping its further quot; progress which has hitherto met with invariable quot; success. It would not be difficult to make pi-ovision quot; for the application of similar measures to Ireland, quot; and to secure to it a permanent immunity from the quot; calamity under which Great Britain is at present quot; suffering. But tho extreme rapidity with which quot; the disease spreads makes it important that all quot; arrangements for stamping it out in case of its quot; possible appearance should be made without quot; delay.quot;

Subsequent events proved the wisdom of these recommendations ; and their adoption, before the emergency arose, probably saved a large portion of tho cattle of Ireland from destruction.

.When the rinderpest was discovered in County Down in May 1866 there was already in existence a Veterinary Department perfectly organized, with a staff of inspectors ready to act immediately; and with�out more delay than was necessary to enable competent persons to visit the district and determine the character of the malady, the quot; stamping-outquot; system, which in continental experience had been attended with invariable success, was vigorously enforced.

Very little credence was accorded by the public to the discovery of the existence of cattle plague in the Drennan district in tho North of Ireland ; the Government, however, fortunately acted upon the advice of liic veterinary authorities; the far�mers also in the immediate neighbourhood of the infection seemed to have been under considerable alarm, and to have taken immediate precautions to save their cattle from being contaminated. Owing to the scepticism which prevailed upon tho subject of the cattle disease in the Drennan district, com�petent persons were directed to proceed to the spot to make inquiries, and to inspect the sick animals. In some instanceraquo; Investigations were undertaken on purely scientific grounds. At various times during the progress of the disease, and previously to an inspec�tion being ordered by the Lords of the Council, the infected district was visited by Professor Ferguson, the Director-General of the Irish Veterinary Department, by Dr. Mapothcr und Dr. Foolc, who had carefully studied the disease in England. The animals were

also seen by Professor McCall, who had had ample opportunities of making himself practically acquainted with tho specialties of tho affection in Scotland. No hesitation appears to have been experienced by these indepondont authorities in arriving at tho conclusion that tho disease affecting tho cattle at Drennan was rinderpest, nor has it over transpired that any person who was acquainted with tho peculiarities of cattle plague formed an opposite opinion. Tho prevailing disbelief seem to have been based entirely upon a conviction of the absolute in�fallibility of the precautions which had been adopted, and which in all probability kept Ireland free for nine months, while tho plague was raging within a few hours distance by sea.

Tho discovery of the outbreak was made by Mr. Eobert Morrow, a landowner at Logacurry Mills, Lisburn, and an agriculturist also in Scotland. Mr. Morrow had lost his own stock at Falkirk by rinderpest in 1865. In a letter received from him, he says, quot; I visited Scotland frequently, from Octo-quot; her 7 to November 11, and being doubtful that quot; sooner or later cattle plague would reach Ireland, I quot; was anxious to got as much information as possible. quot; tho inspector for Stirling district kindly permitted quot; mo to accompany him for a week in visiting cases quot; in his district, which were numerous. I may also quot; state that I had such a dread of rinderpest, that I quot; kept a suit of clothes in Glasgow, which I left quot; there. I also got my quot; herd quot; that had charge of my quot; diseased cattle a suit of clothes, and burnt tho old quot; ones at Glasgow. I am astonished that disease quot; was not brought to Belfast in jobbers' clothes.quot;

It may fairly be assumed that Mr. Morrow, as an owner of cattle, having had special experience of the disease, would be capable of giving an opinion as to the existence of the plague, at least in its developed form; and very likely the knowledge of his possessing some experience, induced tho farmers whose cattle were attacked by a malady which proved too much for their skill, to consult him when their suspicions were aroused.

quot; On the 9th of May 1866,quot; Mr. Morrow's letter con�tinues, quot; Mr. John McKee and Mr. W. J. Erskine quot; called on me requesting me to describe the cattle quot; plague symptoms, stating at the same time that each quot; of them had four animals dead, the last on May 7, and quot; all were buried. After describing the symptoms, quot; they both stated that they were convinced that it quot; was cattle plague.

quot; I requested them if any more cases occurred to quot; give me notice. Next day, May 10, William quot; McKee, the next neighbour to John McKee quot; and Erskine, called, and asked me to examine a quot; cow of his that had been taken ill. I went at once, quot; and found the animal ill, but not showing symptoms quot; which would warrant me in declaring it' rinderpest.' quot; I had the animal separated from the others, stating quot; I would return next morning. Accordingly I quot; went, and was then convinced it was cattle plague. quot; Neighbouring farmers were very much alarmed, quot; and were assembled in large numbers. I did not quot; give them my opinion, but recommended them to quot; stop at home, and not to go near the diseased '�' animals; and not being willing to alarm too much, quot; I recommended McKee to give notice to the con-quot; slnbulary, as he was liable to a fine if he did not quot; report the case ; at the same time ho stated that he quot; had another animal ill which ho did not think quot; of showing me on the day previous. In this one quot; I also found the disease fully developed. The quot; same day I found one of the next neighbour (Kea's) quot; ill. On the following day. May 12, an inspector quot; was sent from Dublin. Next day. May 13, the quot; Director General of the Veterinary Department quot; (Professor Ferguson) attended at Drennan, and quot; gave his opinion that the disease was 'rinderpest.' quot; A cordon was accordingly drawn round the district, quot; and the farmers who were nearest to tho centrelaquo; of quot; infection avoided all approach to diseased cattle, quot; whitewashed their sheds, housed their cattle, and

quot; used chloride of lime freely, sufficient quantities quot; being supplied by the Veterinary Department. quot; Meanwhile the sick animals'were immetliatoly killed quot; and buried, together with those that had been in quot; contact with them.quot;

From Mr. Morrow's account it appears that the disease first broke out at Drennan, among six cattle belonging to Mr. John McKoo ; next it extended to Mr. W. .7. Erskiuo's stock, about 10 porches distant ; then to Mr. Rea's, whoso premises joined those of Mr. J. McKee. All the above farmers were in igno�rance of the nature of the affection, and assisted each other in administering medicines to the sick boasts, and also in skinning and burying the carcasses of the animals which died of the affection. In this manner the communication of disease is readily ac�counted for.

On May 10th the malady appeared among stock belonging to Mr. McCartney, at Cabragh, one in�e and a half from Drennan. One of the three cattle in tho farm died on May 10 ; one was found to be ill on May 17, and it, together with a calf, was destroyed on May 19. Cattle plague is reported next to have occurred at Ballyloughan, eleven miles from Drennan. Two animals are said to have boon attacked, one of them died, and the other was killled; but no further extension of the disease took place in this district, and no information relating to the matter was obtained beyond the fact that a cordon had been established and proper precaution taken to prevent infection.

In the Drennan district the malady was apparently arrested by tho slaughter of Mr. Rea's stock in tho middle of May, and after an interval of three weeks the restrictions were removed; but it was necessary immediately to reimpose them in consequence of tho discovery on June 7 of the existence of the plague on a farm belonging to Mr. McKetterick, of the ad�joining district of Drumra, about half a mile from the Drennan district. Much stress has been laid upon the assumed fact that no case of disease occurred from May 14, when Rea's sick cows were killed, to June 7, when the cattle in the next district were found to be affected ; but in reality there had been no such interval of freedom from plague, for when the in�spector visited McKetterick's stock on June 7, he found two animals suffering from the disease in a fully developed form, and two others were lying dead. It was also admitted by the owner that a cow had been buried a few days before the visit of the inspector, and that two calves had died some time before the death of the cow. So that in the interval of three weeks of alleged freedom from disease, seven animals had been attacked, of which five had died before the nature of the malady was discovered.

The rest of McKetterick's stock, including the two sick cows, three cows and a calf, which had been in contact with them, were destroyed and buried. Some young stock belonging to Mr. McKetterick escaped the disease, but on inquiry it was ascertained that these animals had not been directly, if at all, exposed to the infection, as they were kept on an adjoining farm which was separated by a county road from that on which the outbreak of cattle plague occurred. It happened, however, that some cattle belonging to Mr. J. Erskine were pastured in a field adjoining that in which McKetterick's stock were feeding, being separated from them only by a narrow brook. Mr. Erskine's stock consisted of a cow, a heifer, a yearling bull, and a calf.

On June 15th, eight days after the slaughter of the diseased cattle on McKetterick's farm, and two days subsequent to the slaughter of the cattle which had been in contact with them,�some of which gave evidence of being affected on tho day when they were killed,�Erskine's cow was attacked with illness. The animal was immediately, by order of the inspector, removed from the meadow, and placed in a shed, proper precaution being taken to prevent the spread of infection.

At this point an inquiry which was ordered by tho English Veterinary Department commenceraquo;, and tho

remaining portion of the report will bo devoted to the record of tho observations which were made during the progress of the cattle plague in Ireland.

On Monday, June 18, 1866, an inspection was made of Mr. J. Erskine's cow in the infected district of Drumra, about four miles from Lisburn and half a mile from Drennan, where the disease first appeared. The cow was eight years old, and had boon ill since the previous Friday.

As tho animal was led from the shod, tho mere glance which was obtained was sufflciont to establish the conviction that tho disease was cattle plague in its fully developed form. Had tho cow been in England instead of Ireland, no evidence other than that which was conveyed by her aspect would have been sought by one practically familiar with the symptoms of the rinderpest; but the nature of the disease which had appeared among the cattle was disputed, and it was therefore necessary to pursue the {inquiry to its legitimate termination irrespective of a foregone conclusion. Tho examination of the animal was continued, and the following symptoms were observed and noted at the time.

quot; Aspect dull ; groat prostration present; the re-quot; spiration is laboured and carried on with a peculiar quot; groan, which is constantly heard in tho last stage quot; of cattle plague; there is a discharge of glairy fluid quot; from eyes and nostrils; tho eyes are sunken, the quot; breath foetid. Inside the lips the buccal membrane quot; has a soddened appearance, and the entire surface is quot; covered with a peculiar exudation which may be quot; aptly termed ' branlike.' Inside the vulva the quot; mucous membrane is intensely reddened, the colour quot; approaching that of dark mahogany; there is quot; an abundant quantity of sticky secretion which is quot; drawn out into strings as the labia are pulled apart. quot; The thermometer introduced into tho vagina re-quot; gisters 101'9; on the previous day tho inspector quot; informed mo the temperature was 106.quot; From this circumstance, and from her general appearance, it was concluded that the cow was rapidly sinking, and as it was thought advisable to proceed to a post�mortem investigation at once, she was destroyed, but without effusion of blood.

On dissecting the structures in the vicinity of the mouth the lips, as stated, were found to be in a diseased condition, but the membrane covering the tongue was healthy. At the posterior part of the fauces there was a little' creamy exudation ; a quantity of similar exudation also covered the lining membrane of the trachea, which was marked by numerous petechial spots. Tho lungs were healthy, with the exception of the interlobular emphysema which is often seen in these organs in cases of plague.

The heart was somewhat flabby and empty. Abdominal organs :

The rumen and reticulum were free from conges�tion ; the first-named viscus was distended with food. In the omasum the ingesta was hard and in places adhering to the leaves, on which were to be seen many dark spots ; the epithelium remained attached to the adherent masses of ingesta when these were forcibly removed, but it did not come away readily. Very marked abnormal changes were observed in the abomasum ; the lining membrane of the anterior part was of a dirty dark-red colour, with still deeper mot-tlings; in the posterior portion the prevailing tint was much lighter, partaking of a dirty yellow with dark-red patches dispersed hero and there : many deep erosions also existed. The intestines were inflamed throughout, and the folds of the rectum presented tho usual appearance of congestion, tho surface being deep red in colour with darker spots numerously scattered.

It was remarked at the time of the examination that no symptom of the disease in tho living animal was absent ; and during the post-mortem investiga�tion all the most characteristic lesions of cattle plague were detected. All the evidence which could bo fur�nished by a single caso of the disease was obtained during the inspection ; it was, however, defective

ono particulnr, it did not, as indoed it could not, in�clude proof of the infectious chnracter of the malady. From the collatertU cir�umstances, it would have been jioi'fectly safe to conclude that this essential quality of rinderpest was not wanting, but the object of the in�quiry was to obtain all the evidence necessary to es�tablish the nature of the disease, and it was therefore required of the investigator to withhold the expres�sion, and, if possible, the formation of an opinion until the inquiry should be completed. All the conditions were favourable to the pursuit of the in�vestigation. The farm was small and could be easily watched, there were throe animals of different ages, a calf, a heifer, and a young bull, which had been in contact with the diseased cow, and there were no other cattle sufficiently near to be in danger of the disease being communicated to them.

Of the three animals which remained on the farm, one, the heifer, had already shown slight symptoms of a departure from health, by separating herself from the others, and occasionally discontinuing to graze, standing, meanwhile, under a hedge and presenting a dull aspect; this behaviour was observed at a distance. No examination of either of the animals was made at the time, it being considered advisable to allow them to remain undisturbed until symptoms of disease were unmistakably manifest. Every precaution was taken to prevent the extension of infection. No animals were allowed to enter the area of the infected dis�trict, and persons who approached the shed where the diseased cow had stood were not permitted to depart iintil they had been disinfected by the con�stabulary in attendance by means of a solution of chloride of lime, which was freely applied.

Immediately on the conclusion of this first inspec�tion, the annexed report was forwarded to the Veterinary Department of the Privy Council in England. It will be seen that allusion is made in the first place to a post-mortem examination of a cow which had been found dead at G-lasnevin.

quot; Report to Colonel Harness, Veterinary Depart-quot; ment of the Privy Council.

quot; Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Lisburn, Ireland, June 20th, 1866.

quot; I have the honour to report that on Monday quot; I made an examination of a cow which was found quot; dead in afield at Glasnevin near Dublin, and ascer-quot; tained that she had died of the same disease which quot; exists among cattle in the Isle of Man.

quot; On the evening of the same day I inspected a cow quot; at Drennan, in the north of Ireland, and found her quot; to present the ordinary indications of cattle plague. quot; She was destroyed, and a post-mortem examination quot; was made, which resulted in the discovery of the quot; lesions which are usually present in that disease. quot; Three animals which were in the field with the cow quot; at the time when signs of ill-health were first seen are quot; reserved for observation, and I have also sent Pro-quot; fessor Simonds some of the morbid secretions from quot; the cow that was destroyed, in order that he may quot; have recourse to inoculation. At present, in con-quot; sequence of the system which has been adopted of quot; slaughtering all the animals that had been in contact quot; with diseased ones, there is absolutely no evidence quot; of the disease being contagious or infectious,

quot; I have, amp;c.

quot; G. T. Brown.quot;

It will be observed that no reference was made in the report to the previous history of the disease in the north of Ireland, nor any allusion to the evidence which had been obtained in reference to the infectious nature of the malady by those who had observed Its progress in the district of Drennan and Cabra. This omission was intentional and indeed necessary in carrying out the method of investi�gation, which experience had previously shown to be the most infalliblo. The essential part of the method consisted in ignoring for the time the result of all previous inquiries, and dealing exclusively with existing facts, At, the time of writing the report the only positive fact in evidence was to this effect:�A

oertniu cow in the north of Ireland was the subject of a disease, the symptoms and morbid appearances of which were in every particular identical with those of cattle plague, but to prove the existence of that disease the additional fact of infection was necessary. This evidence could only bo obtained by inoculating a healthy animal with matter from the diseased boast, or by keeping alive the animals which had been in contact with it until the period of incubation had past. Either of these methods of investigation was consistent with the course which had been determined upon ; the last could easily bo put in practice in the infected district without danger, as no other cattle were in the immediate neighbourhood of the infected farm ; and the experiment of inoculation could be tried in London under such restrictions that no risk would exist of spreading the disease.

On the receipt of the report it was decided that inoculation with the matter from Erskine's cow should bo performed under the supervision of the authorities of the Veterinary Department, but before an oppor�tunity was afforded for making the necessary arrange�ment, evidence of the infectious nature of the disease was obtained in Ireland.

The infected district was visited daily by one of the inspectors, but the animals were not approached until Wednesday, June 21st, when the heifer gave decided indications of illness. She was accordingly taken from the pasture, and placed in a shed. The inspector then proceeded to ascertain the temperature in the vagina by the thermometer, and found it to be 106 � 6. Other symptoms were also observed by him at the time, and in his report he expressed the opinion that the heifer was suffering from plague in its fully developed form. On the next morning a minute inspection of the animal was made, and the following symptoms recorded: quot; Temperature, lO�^.

quot; Eespiration laboured, with occasional husky quot; cough. Twitching of the muscles of the hind quar-quot; ters ; aspect dull; bead depressed; ears drawn back ; quot; eyes sunken, discharging glairy fluid. The buccal quot; membrane presents special marks of morbid action, quot; the surface being covered with a whitish cheesy quot; exudation, which can be easily removed by the quot; finger, exposing a raw surface beneath. Within the quot; vulva the mucous membrane is of a dark chocolate quot; colour, and covered with a whitish adhesive matter. quot; There is diarrhcea, the evacuations being light quot; in colour and foetid,quot;

In this case the symptoms were quite characteristic, and non-professional persons, who had seen some of the animals which were the alleged subjects of cattle plague in the Drennan district, expressed their belief that the heifer was suffering from the same disease. Meanwhile the calf exhibited manifest symptoms of the same affection the day after the heifer was attacked, and on June 22d the symptoms were noted as follows:

quot; General aspect dull ; eyes sunken, a glairy dis-quot; charge issues from both, and also from the nostrils; quot; the buccal membrane of the lips, gums, and palate quot; is covered with a whitish creamy exudation, which quot; may be rubbed off readily by the finger, the surface quot; beneath is found to be red and raw looking.

quot; The animal is suffering from diarrhoea, the quot; evacuations being light coloured and foetid.

quot; Within the vulva the lining membrane presents quot; n very peculiar aspect, the surface being of a deep quot; mahogany colour, and covered with an abundant quot; eruption (miliary) of minute yellow seed-like quot; points; a large quantity of'yellowishthicky secretion quot; is also present; the internal temperature is 106�4,quot; The yearling bull was now examined, by means of the thermometer, and there was noted d slight rise of temperature, 103 �2. The evidence was thus com�plete, and accordingly a second report was forwarded to the English Veterinary Department, to the following effect : quot; Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;quot; Lisburn, Ireland, June 23, 1866,

quot; I have the honour to report that two of the quot; animals which had been in contact with the cow

Upon the receipt of this report, the experiments which Lad been dotomiiued upon were considered un-neccssury, and instructious were given that they should aot, under the circumstances, bo attempted.

The sick uniiuals were constantly watched up to Juno 2G, when the young bull presented characteristic symptoms of plague.

During this period the progress of the disease was curclully observed, and very interesting facts were recorded, particularly in reference to the heifer.

On June 23 it was apparent that this animal was sinking; the prostration was extreme, and the tem-perature, which on the previous day had been regis�tered at 106-9, had, in the space of 24 hours, fallen to 101'8; this sudden fall, as a rule, indicates an approaching fatal termination, and it was anticipated that the beast would soon succumb. On the follow�ing day, however, she was alive, but in a most pitiable condition, the temperature in the vagina was 98 � 3, and the malady had evidently reached its acme. On June 25 the animal continued to suffer acutely, but the symptoms were more favourable than on the previous evening; the temperature had risen to 10O; the eyes, from which a quantity of glairy mucus had been flowing up to the time of the last visit, had become nearly dry. In the vagina there was also a marked decrease in the quantity of the adhe�sive muco-purulent secretion, and there was less con�gestion of the membrane. The mucous membrane of the mouth had not improved ; an abundant exuda�tion still existed, and on removing a little from the surface the vascular tissues beneath were exposed, con�stituting the so called quot; raw places.quot; Altogether, the beast was in so miserable a condition that only the necessity which existed for obtaining a complete history of the course of the disease prevented the order for the immediate slaughter being given.

June 26, the heifer was found to be breathing with much difliculty, and with the peculiar sibilous noise that is sometimes heard in the last stage of plague shortly before death. The temperature had risen to i03. Very little secretion existed inside the vulva ; and although the gums wore still covered with the curdy exudation, the process of reparation was how�ever rapidly going on. On removing some of the exuded mass from below the incisor teeth the surface of the membrane was found to be healed.

This rapid restoration of tissue in the buccal mem�brane has been frequently noticed in cattle plague, but the mouth of this animal presented so good an example that the specimen was preserved. {Sec plate 12.) Inside the lips the peculiar cracks in the membrane still persisted, and there were abrasions on the palate; but the improvement in the condition of the gums in the course of 24 hours was very marked.

At the owner's solicitation, -who expressed himself tired of seeing the cow suffer, she was destroyed, and in the course of an examination, which was made immediately after death, the following morbid changes were observed.

llespiratory system.�In the larynx on each side near the vocal cords there was a large patch of the membrane decomposed, and in the act of sloughing from the part. The lining membrane of the trachea and bronchial tubes was congested and covered with whitish exudation, the lungs were healthy, excepting the usual intcrlobular emphysema, which although generally present in, is not peculiar to, cattle plag�o.

Digestive system.�The rumen contained a con�siderable quantity of food, which was very imper�fectly softened, considering the time it had re�mained in the viscus; the lining membrane was

healthy, as was also that of the recticulum. In the omasum the ingesta was lying in hard cakes between the leaves of the stomach, and in many places it was adherent j but there was but little increase of the vascularity of the membrane. Changes of the most important character had taken place in the abomasum j the membrane was thickened and presented a pulpy aspect; very many patches of a dark red colour were scattered on the surface. In the posterior portion there existed deep erosions, and the folds of tho anterior portion were covered with masses of adherent yellow exudation. These were rendered more dis�tinct from the dark mottled character of the mucous membrane in this region. Throughout the intestines tho lining membrane was dark in colour, and the contents were fluid; the liver was healthy, the gall bladder, however, was distended with light coloured bile.

The calf which was attacked on June 22 rapidly succumbed to the acute form of tho disease, dying on the evening of the day following that on which the diagnostic symptoms were detected.

Notwithstanding the short period of duration of tho disease in this animal, the morbid changes which were observed on post-mortem examination were very characteristic. The abrasions of the membrane cover�ing the palate were numerous; the swollen and cracked condition of the membrane of the gums and lips was also very distinct, as shown in the drawing of the anterior part of the lower jaw. (See plate 14.)

Other lesions which are ordinarily found in cattle plague were observed during tho dissection; those in the fourth stomach, vagina, and rectum, being particularly marked in character.

It has already been observed that the young bull gave no evidence of being infected beyond the slight rise of temperature on June 22.

During the next three days but little alteration was noticed, but on June 26 there was observed to be a discharge of glairy mucus from the eyes, and the temperature had risen to 105-8. Under all the cir�cumstances it was not considered necessary to prolong the inquiry in this case, as the nature of the disease had been clearly established. The bull was accord�ingly destroyed, and in the post-mortem examination characteristic lesions were observed, especially in the mouth, the fourth stomach, and intestines. The lungs were emphysematous, but otherwise perfectly free from disease.

Upon the conclusion of the inquiry in the north of Ireland tho following report was forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant:�

Ekpoiit to his Excellency tho Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the subject of Cattle Plague at Drumra, Lisburn, north of Ireland.

Your Excellency,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;June 27, 18G6.

In accordance with instructions received from Colonel Harness, the chief of tho cattle plague de�partment of the Privy Council office, I have in�vestigated the alleged outbreak of cattle plague in the north of Ireland, and have tho honour to submit the results of the inquiry for your consideration.

On Monday, June 18, I proceeded to tho infected district of Drumra, in compliance with your [Excel�lency's request, and on arriving at Mr. Erskine's farm my attention was directed to a cow which pre�sented very decided indications of cattle plague. The animal was slaughtered at my desire, and the post-mortem examination being made, the lesions which arc characteristic of the disease were observed. Under these eircuinstnnces I did not deem it advisable to incur the unnecessary risk of exhuming any car�casses of animals which had died or been slaughtered; but in order to ascertain whether the disease would exhibit its usual infectious character the remaining cattle on Mr. Erskine's farm, a heifer, a calf, and a yearling bull, were reserved for observation.

On Wednesday, June 20, the heifer, which had previously been observed to be unwell, became worse. On the following day the temperature had risen to n 4

lO�'�, and the other symptoms of plague wore well deflned. On Friday and Saturday raquo;ho was raquo;utfbring severely, and on Sunday the disoaso had roachod its actuo. The animal lingered until Tuesday Juno 26th, #9632;when she was destroyed for examination, in tho course of which very marked lesions of cattle plague were discovered.

Tho calf next gave evidence of being affected on Friday Juno 22. Tho temperature rose to 106 �4, and the indications of the most acute form of plaguo #9632;were present. Tho animal died on tho following evening. A post-mortem examination was made, and the usual morbid appearances were detected.

Tho yearling bull was the last to yield to tho in�fluence of the infection. A slight increase of tem�perature, 103 � 4, was observed on Friday Juno 22, and on Tuesday, Juno 26, the thermometer indicated 105'8, while other symptoms of the first stage of cattle plague were established. The animal was destroyed, and tho morbid changes in the internal organs were found to be more advanced than is usual in this stage of tho malady.

From the observations which were made upon these cases during a period of eight days I am enabled to state that none of tho essential charac�teristics of cattle plague were wanting.

In reference to the difficulty of accounting for the outbreak of the disease in this district, it may be remarked that the same objection has frequently been urged in cases whore the plague has suddenly appeared in localities which were distant many miles from any known centre of infection.

If it be admitted that the cattle plague broke out among cattle in the district of Drennan in April last, the history of its progress from that centre does not involve any serious discrepancies, so far as the in�formation extends.

From the commencement of the outbreak at Drennan on or about April 8th, cases are reported to have occurred at intervals of a few days to May 13th. After an interval of about 18 days notice was received, on June 7, of an outbreak in the adjacent district of Drumra, und on the inspector's arrival at the place he found two animals ill and two dead, and he was informed that two calves and a cow had died and been buried some time before, thus making it apparent that animals had been attacked and had died in the interval which has been supposed to have elapsed since the last case at Drennan.

On Juno 13 the remaining cattle, three cows and a calf, on the farm at Drumra, where the disease had appeared, were slaughtered after a delay of six days. One of these animals is stated by the inspec�tors to have presented decided indications of ill health on the day she was killed. The rest of the stock belonging to the same owner, I am informed, were upon another farm, and were not at any time in contact with the diseased animals.

Mr. Erskine's cattle, which were in an adjoining meadow, consisted of a cow, a heifer, a yearling bull, and a calf, and on June 15 the cow was observed to be ill; the other animals became affected in succession between June 15 and June 26.

The system which has been adopted of establishing cordons and slaughtering the animals which were known to have been exposed to the infection, has in all probability prevented the extensive spread of tho disease.

It only remains to remark that there is a disease prevalent among cattle in different parts of Ire�land even more rapidly fatal than cattle plague. From post-mortem examinations which have been made of animals which have died of this affection near Dublin and in the North of Ireland, I have satisfied myself that it is identical with the disease which exists among cattle in the Isle of Man.

The report of the i uquiry which I was instructed by Colonel Harness to institute in the island, in refer�ence to the alleged outbreak of cattle plague there, is before your Excellency, mid I need oidy slate that while (lie post-mortem appearances are in many par-

ticulars allied in the two diseases, the symptoms ex�hibited by tho sick animals are totally dissimilar.

I have, amp;c.

G. T. Bkown.

The report was acknowledged, by direction of his Excellency, in the following.letter :�

Dublin Castle, Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; June 29, 1866.

I am directed by tho Lord Lieutenant to ac�knowledge the receipt of your report of the 27th in�stant, of the result of the inquiry made by you into the cases of cattle plague which have lately appeared in the district of Drumra, County Down, and I am to express to you his Excellency's thanks for the careful and satisfactory manner in which you have conducted this investigation.

I am, amp;c. To Professor Brown.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; R. M. Mathewson.

Intelligence subsequently received from tho infected district was satisfactory, and as it was believed that all the animals which had been exposed to the infection had been killed, no further extension of the disease was anticipated. Subsequent events, however, proved that the Drumra district was not the only infected locality. While the disease was still existing there, during the last week of June, it also prevailed, for�tunately to a limited extent, among stock in the midst of the most important district in Ireland.

On June 28, the Director General of the Veterinary Department received a report of the existence of tho disease at Ballynaskea, near Enfield, County Meath; he immediately dispatched an inspector to the locality to make inquiry, and his report confirmed the previous statements. On Friday, June 29, the farm was visited, and the worst anticipations were justified by the reality. One animal was found lying dead in a shed, showing signs of having suffered from plague in the most virulent form ; another, on the opposite side of the same shed, was evidently dying from the same malady ; and of the three which remained in the pasture, one was showing symptoms of a departure from health, and was pointed out by the owner as the probable next victim.

The most important question which immediately occurred was, to what extent the infection might have spread. Even before destroying the sick animal, an inspection of the premises was made, and it was satisfactorily ascertained that no cattle could have come in contact with the diseased beasts excepting by possibility some of those on the next farm. These animals had been in an adjoining field, separated, however, from that in which the infected cattle were kept by a high bank, except at one corner, where a bog existed, and where the cattle in both fields were in the habit of drinking. At this place the animals in each field could readily touch each other in the act of drinking. Questions were, as a matter of course, asked with a view to learn whether there existed any obvious explanation of the outbreak, but equally, as a matter of course, no information was obtained which assisted in the elucidation of the mystery. In this there was nothing remarkable, tho same difficulty of accounting for the transmission of the disease from one part of the country and another had been repeatedly experienced in the course of similar investigations in England.

The owner of the farm on which the outbreak occurred was a small dealer or quot;jobber,quot; and it was ascertained that the stock on his premises had consisted of four bullocks, a heifer, and an in-calf cow, all of which wore allowed frequently to feed by the road side. On Friday, June 22, a bullock was found to be ill, the prominent symptoms being diarrhoea, and discharge from the eyes and nostrils. The animal died the same night, and the skin was sent to market, tho flesh, it was understood, was eaten.

On Monday, June 25, another bullock was at�tacked, and was then lying dead; and on Wednesday, June 27, a heifer was attacked, and at tho time of

OATTtB PLAGUE IN GREAT BKITAIK.

289

the inspection was found to be dying, with well-marked symptoms of cattle plague. After making a post-mortem examination of the two animals it was decided, in consultution with Professor Ferguson, who was present, that no further investigation was neces�sary or desirable, it being an evident fact that cattle plague had obtained an entrance into tiio country. No advantage could arise from a repetition of an inquiry such as had just boon concluded, and in tho midst of the largest and most important grazing district in Ireland much misehiof might be anticipated from the spread of tho disease. Tho remaining three cattle wore therefore immediately killed, and directions wore given to watch tho stock of the adjoining farm, consisting of nine cattle, which were tho only animals, as far as could bo ascertained, that had been in a position to incur a risk of infection.

A cordon was drawn round the place, including tho suspected cattle, and tho constabulary were placed on guard.

Nothing further occurred until Thursday, July 5, exactly six days after the slaughter of the diseased cattle, when the superintendent of the constabulary saw one of the animals on tho next farm moving stiffly, as ho expressed it, and feeding with less avidity than usual. On tho following afternoon he found her lying in a ditch, and had her removed to a stable. At that time he did not perceive any discharge from the eyes. On tho following day, however, this symptom was present, and an inspector was sum�moned from Dublin. After examining the animal ho returned with the statement that she was suffering from cattle plague. On Sunday morning the animal was found to be dying, and was at onco destroyed and buried. The rest of the cattle on the farm were

also killed as soon as holes could be dug for their reception, as in no case were any portions of tho diseased cattlo, or of those which had been in contact with them, permitted to be removed from the premises.

No fresh attacks occurred, and thus the cattle plague was arrested in tho midland county of Ireland with the sacrifice of 15 cattle. Had it not been for the timely discovery of tho disease, which in this instauco was made by one of tho constabulary, there can be no doubt that serious damage would have been inflicted upon tho oxtensivo and valuable herds in the locality.

Subsequently an investigation was made in various parts of Ireland for the purpose of ascertaining whether any diseases of an unusual character, or bearing any resemblance to cattlo plague, and hence likely to be mistaken for that disease, had recently been observed among stock. During tho inquiry various parts of tho west, south-west, south, and oast of Ireland were visited, but no diseases other than those which had long been known in tho country werlaquo; met with. In some districts pleuro-pneumonia pre�vailed ; in others typhoid fever in pigs had been rife, and in many places affections of tho nature of splenic apoplexy, and quot; black leg,quot; and quot; dry murrain quot; had attacked the cattle, but not to an extraordinary extent.

The result of the inquiry led to tho conclusion that the sanitary condition of tho stock of tho country was exceptionally good.

In the following table the dates of the several out�breaks in the north and west of Ireland, the number of animals attacked, and tho total loss, are arranged so as to form a concise history of tho progress of tho disease in the infected districts, from April, when it first appeared, to the beginning of July, when it ceased:�

As a fact in the history of cattle plague the outbreak in Ireland is not without important teachings. One thing to be learned from it is the impossibility of obtaining absolute security under nil circumstances against the communication of infection, even by tho adoption of the most complete measures of precaution. Two countries situated in regard to each other like England and Ireland must, in some degree, share in the danger arising out of tho prevalence of a highly contagious disease, no matter in which country the pestilence may first make its appearance.

Whether cattle plague was carried from England to Ireland by direct or indirect agency will perhaps 17966.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;O

never be known. Tho probabilities are about equally in favour of either supposition. Persons were constantly passing from infected localities in England to different parts of Ireland, and it appeared from an inquiry which was made by tho Veterinary Department, that cattlo were smuggled from the north const of Ireland and landed in England with�out detection, and it is not to be supposed that any greater difficulty would have been experienced in getting cattle into tho north of Ireland against tho prohibition than in getting them out of it.

Another important point which arises out of tho history of the outbreak in Ireland is tho testimony

#9632;ifcLtJI

, AI'PKNDIX II. TO Till) llKl'OHT ON Till;

which it bears to tho entire efficacy of the laquo;tamping out system, the whole Josses amouuting to littlo above 50 cattle.

Franco Imd just belbro iichiovcil the I'xtinctiou of the plague with a loss of 46 animals, and the com�parison is in itself a satisfactory proof of the energy displayed by the Irish executive. All the olliciala acted with promptnoss and vigour, but considering the subordinate part which they had to sustain, tho Irish constabulary deserve a full share of the honour of ridding Ireland of tho pest.

Subsequently to July 1866 no recurrouco of tho cattle plague took place ; tho owners of the farms on which tho disease appeared re-stoeked their lands after the promises had been disinfected, and tho animals remained healthy. Malignant, disease has occasionally destroyed cattle in certain parts of the country, but no malady has been observed at all resembling cattle plague, or possessing any peculiarities which might load tho veterinary authorities to entertain a sus�picion of the re-appearance of the disease in Ireland.

Alleged Outbheak of Cattle Plague in tho Isle of Man.

In the last week of May 18(50 a fatal disease appeared among cattle in the isle of Man ; from the similarity of the post-mortem appearances to those of cattle plague, it was at first apprehended that rinderpest had in reality broken out. Stringent measures were innnediately adopted to arrest tho spread of tho infection, and his Excellency the Lieutonant-Governor without delay communicated to the Government of this country a request that an investigation might be made for the purpose of resolving the doubts which existed.

In compliance with the request an inquiry was instituted by direction of the Veterinary Department. On Saturday, June 2nd, the investigation was commenced ; the first place visited was a farm where the disease had recently appeared, at Port-e-chec, a few miles west from Douglass.

The stock on the farm consisted of about 30 cattle, and tho disease was first observed among them on the previous Tuesday. One cow was at�tacked with symptoms which were thought to indi�cate cattle plague, and was accordingly killed; and, after a post-mortem examination had been made, the carcase was buried with quick-lime. On arriving at the farm an inspection was made of the remaining animals, all of which were found to be free from any indication of cattle plague. Considering, how�ever, the short period which had elapsed since the death of the cow which was first attacked, and as�suming that animal alone to have been originally exposed to the infection, it was not to be expected that others of the stock, which might have taken the disease from the first one, would manifest any de�cided symptoms, but it was to be expected that a rise of temperature would have occurred, and even other signs of a departure from perfect health, such as diminution of the quantity of milk and irregularity in rumination. The fact, therefore, of no sign of infec�tion existing in the herd after five days, although not in itself conclusive evidence, was suggestive of tho absence of rinderpest.

No proofs of the existence of an infectious disease having been obtained during this inspection, it was decided to have tho carcase of the animal which was killed on Tuesday exhumed; this was done, and an examination of the parts which had been previously dissected by the veterinary inspector revealed the fol�lowing morbid changes;

The membrane of the mouth, tongue, and fauces

was free from disease, as was also the lining

membrane of the trachea, with the exception

of a lew red spots.

Congestion of the lungs was apparent, and there

was also emphysema of the anterior lobes. The rumen, reticulum, and omasum were per�fectly healthy in appearance. The abomnsum was congested ; at the posterior portion there were ob�erved to be slight erosions, and also a few dark petechial spots. These appear�ances were however not well defined, and the examination was altogether unsatisfactory, in consequence of the animal having been completely dissected four clays previously, and afterwards buried in quick-lime. From the inquiry in this farm no ovidonco of a

definite character was gained; the changes which were observed in the morbid parts of the cow were not however of a kind to excite suspicion of the existence of rinderpest.

A visit was next made to a farm at Uraddon, about a mile distant from Port-c-chec. On this farm there were nine cows; one of tho number was attacked Wednesday, May 30, with symptoms which bore some resemblance to those of cattle plague; the secretion of milk was suddenly arrested, the appetite was lost, and rumination was entirely suspended. The sunken appearance of the eyes was especially noticed, and the animal's general aspect was indica�tive of extreme prostration.

On June 2nd these symptoms were still present, and in addition the pulse was found to be beating feebly to the number of 80 in the minute. The res�piration was laboured.

The mucous membrane of the mouth was blanched, excepting at that part of the gum which encircles the incisor teeth, where a red line was apparent. The breath was extremely foetid. The conjunctival mem�brane was also blanched, and the eyes were deeply sunken, but perfectly bright, and there was no dis�charge from them.

In the nostrils there was a large quantity of mueo-purulent secretion adhering to tho pituitary quot;mombran�, which was intensely reddened. The lining membrane of the vulva was paler in colour than natural until near the entrance to the vagina, where slight con�gestion existed, and also a small quantity of white tenacious secretion of tho kind which is seen on the same membrane in animals affected with rinderpest; the internal temperature was 101-2; constipation had existed from the commencement of the attack.

None of the diagnostic symptoms of cattle plague were detected during the very careful inspection which was made of this animal. The sudden loss of milk, and the dull drowsy aspect, were in the first instance sufficient to excite suspicion, but the fact of the cow having remained for several days without the development of any of the usual indications of cattle plague, amounted almost to positive proof of the non-existence of that disease.

Marrown was next visited. In this place one of the cows in the farm was suffering from the prevailing disease. The animal was in a shed with another cow which had shown slight symptoms of ill-health ; the two formed part of a herd of 23, of which all the remainder were healthy. Besides the symptoms which were noticed in the cow at Braddou, there was in this case more decided evidence of cerebral derangement; the animal stood with its head firmly pushed against the wall of the shed, and manifested great disinclination to move; the owner stated that on the previous evening the animal evinced great excitement on being approached.

As soon as tho cow was observed to bo ill it was separated from the herd, and none of the others had yet shown signs of being infected.

In this case there were evident indications of de�rangement of the digestive system, accompanied with cerebral disturbance. If the question of the cxistonco of cattle plague had not previously arisen there was nothing in the symptoms presented by this animal to

CATTLE PLAGUE IN OUBAT BllITAIN.

suggest it; but on nccoimt of the uncortaiuty as to the nature of the tlisenso, and the prevalence) of alarm in the country, it was deemed advisable to place the stock on the farm under rostrictions.

The next visit was made to a farm at Pool in the west of the island, about 10 mileraquo; from Douglass. Hero ii cow, one of tea which wero herded to�gether at the time of the outbreak, was found dead of the disease, and it was ascertained that another had succumbed a few days previously after a brief illness. The second animal was noticed to bo ill on the day that the first one died, Tuesday, May 29tli, and continued to get worse, in spite of the treatment which was adopted, until Friday night, when she died.

The post-mortem examination, which was made on the following day, revealed the presence of lesions closely allied to those of cattle plague. All the morbid appearances which wore mot with during the dissec�tion of this cow were exceedingly well defined, and it is proposed to describe thorn in detail, because they include all the morbid changes which were observed during tho inquiry in connexion with the disease.

Mouth and Tongue were perfectly healthy.

The Larynx presented slight congestion of the lining membrane, and half-way down the trachea tho colour of the mucous lining was scarlet; a quantity of blood was effused into the sub-mucous tissue. In the bronchial tubes the deep red colour was even more markedly apparent, and a quantity of white exuda�tion existed on tho surface of the membrane.

The Lungs presented exactly the emphyscmatous condition which is almost uniformly present in cattle plague. {See plate 13).

The Heart was filled with dark coloured con�gealed blood, and in tho left ventricle, on the fleshy columns especially were large Inemorrhagic patches, which are also frequently met with in the same organ of animals which have died from plague. This lesion has been represented as one of the characteristics of the disease in plate 23 of the Royal Commissioner's Srd Report on Cattle Plague. {See also plate 11.)

Stomachs :�

1.nbsp; Rumen.�This viscus was distended with a large quantity of undigested food; its internal mem�brane was congested in patches, and on removing the dark coloured epithelium, which came off very readily from the papilla;, the subjacent tissue was found to be of a bright scarlet colour.

2.nbsp; Itcticulum.�The lining membrane of this com�partment was also tinged witii red, and the epithelium came away on the slightest touch.

3.nbsp; nbsp;Omasum.�This stomach was hard and tightly packed with food which was found lying in cakes between the numerous folds or leaves which exist in the interior of the sac. The food was adherent to the surface of the membrane, and on being removed in�variably came away with tho epithelium attached, as a whitish film, to the surface. On every fold there were deep red patches of congestion, and the vessels traversing the structure were filled with dark-coloured blood ; these appearances are shown in the illustration. {See plate 1.)

4.nbsp; Abomasum,�Congestion was apparent in the mucous lining of this stomach, the appearances in which were remarkably like those seen in cattle plague ; the folds of the anterior portion were asdematous, and at the posterior extremity of the viscus there were deep erosions similar to those which are seen in many cases of plague.

LlVER.�This gland was healthy in appearance, but the gall-bladder was distended with light-coloured bile.

Brain.�Congestion of the vessels existed to a marked extent, and effusion of red fluid had taken place into the arachnoid sac, and also into the lateral ventricles, The spinal cord presented similar abnormal conditions.

Inticsitnes�Throughout the intestinal canal (lie contents were fluid, although diarrhoea had not set In when the animal died; in tho former case, however, it

was a promiuent symptom. Tho lining membrane of tho small intentines was congested, und there wore also the peculiar dark rod or nearly black lines on tho edges of tho folds, running parallel to each other, with occasional ci'obh markings, constituting, in fact, tho appearances so generally seen in tlio intestinal niem-brane in auimais which have suffered from cattle plague, und sometimes distinguished by tho term quot; zebra mark ings,quot;

Patches of deep red were detected on tho large intestines, tho ciocum was particularly congested at the apex, and the lining membrane of the rectum had precisely the hiuraorrhagic condition which is invari�ably seen in plague. Every fold was of a deep red colour, mottled with n darker tinge. (This state is depicted iu tlio drawing, plate 3.)

The lining of the vulva was of a dark rod colour, but there was no exudation, nor wore there any signs of an eruption on tho surface of tho membrane.

This inspection concluded tho first day's inquiry, which had entirely failed to afford positive evidence of tho nature of tho epizootic. Two sick animals had been carefully examined, and tho symptoms which they exhibited wore not of a character to load to a suspicion of the presence of rinderpest; but the morbid appearances which hud boon detected in tho cow, dead of the disease, were iu many respects precisely like those soeu in cattle plague. It was, however, yot undetermined #9632;whether or not any connexion existed between those morbid appearances and the symptoms which had been observed in tho sick animals, because at present the symptoms and post-mortem appearances had not been distinguished in the same animals, and positive proof, therefore, of identity of disease was wanting. So far as could be gathered from those in charge of the cattle, tho symptoms were the same in all cases ; but it was not thought desirable to place implicit faith on statements which emanated from persons unaccustomed to pathological inquiry.

On the following day the problem was solved by tho post-mortem examination of tho cow which was inspected at Murrown, and which died on the evening of tho day on which it was first seen. In this case the morbid chuiiges were identical with those seen on tho previous day at Peel, and it was thus esta�blished that the disease which prevailed among cattle in the island was characterized by symptoms entirely distinct from those of cattle plague, and by internal lesions, which were in every particular closely allied to, and in some parts of the organism absolutely identical with, those which arc found in that disease. It yet remained to discover whether the progress of the epizootic was due to the existence of infection, or depended solely upon local in�fluences. To the solution of this question the inquiry was now directed, and during the five fol�lowing days various parts of the island where cattle had been uttacked were visited. Post-mortem examinations were made of the carcases of cattle at Kirk Andreas in the north, at Peel in the west, and at Douglass in the east. In every instance tho symptoms and morbid appearances wero precisely alike. The uniformity in these particulars indeed was such as to coll for remark. In each case tho first symptom observed was sudden cessation of secretion of milk, followed by signs of cerebral disturbance varying in intensity from partial coma to violent excitement, which, in some cases, terminated in death in a few hours. At other times the animal lived for three or four days, ultimately dying from coma. Occasionally an animal left in the evening In apparent health would bo found dead in tho morning, the herbage around giving evidence of a brief and violent struggle.

During the inquiry it was also ascertained that animals had been simultaneously attacked in localities distant from each other ) at Kirk Andreas in the north, Peel in the west, and Port.-e-cheo in the east. Ah examination laquo;f some of the herdraquo;, a week after the disease had appeared among them und doatroyed one or two of tho number, did not load to tho detoc-

lion of the usual signs of infection. And at the conclusion of the investigation an inspection was made, on June 7th, of a cow which had been pastured with two others in a perfectly isolated position on a mountain, Brid Sloauwhallin, where it was at least exceedingly unlikely that the animals would bo exposed to the influence of infection. The cow had been observed on the provious evening to show signs of delirium, and the secretion of milk had ceased ; early in the morning she was found dead. A care�ful examination was made of the carcase, and the usual indications of disease were found to bo present. One very important fact was elicited in tho course of the inquiry in different parts of the island, viz., that an affection identical in character, so far as could bo ascertained from tho description of non-professional persons, occasionally appeared at tho end of tho spring and in tho autumn months among cattle in tho island. Tho malady wos known as quot; drying-up,quot; in allusion to the dry state of tho food betweei: tho leaves of the omasum, and also as the quot; grass disease.quot; In Ireland, where the same aflbction was afterwards frequently seen, it is commonly called quot; dry murrain,quot; or quot; grass staggers.quot; In England, although many of the symptoms and morbid appearances are met with, the disease in its characteristic form does not appear to exist, at least no cases corresponding in every particular have been seen, rrora tho evidence ob�tained the conclusion was fairly deducible, that the disease was not of an infectious character, and, by consequence, was not cattle plague ; and in order to relievo the anxiety which prevailed among owners of stock in the Isle of Man the following report was immediately addressed to His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, conveying to him tho result of tho inquiry :�

Government House, Islo of Man, Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; 7th Juno 1866.

In accordance with instructions received from Colonel Harness, Chief of the Cattle Plague Depart�ment of the Privy Council, and in compliance with your request, I have investigated the disease which has appeared among cattle in yarious parts of the island, and have the honour to submit the results of the inquiry for your information.

Animals suffering from the disease have been placed under observation, post-mortem examinations of those cases which terminated fatally, as well as of carcases which were exhumed for the purpose, have been instituted, and the following important facts ascertained :

First.�The post-mortem appearances are so closely allied to those of cattle plague as to j ustify the opinion expressed by the Veterinary Inspector, and under the circumstances the stringent measures which were adopted, were wisely conceived and effectively canned out.

Secondly.�The symptoms exhibited by the cattle during the progress of the disease differ in some important particulars from those which are character�istic of cattle plague; in no case which has come under my observation, has there been any discharge from the eyes, or soreness of gums and palate, or redness of the vagina, or rise in temperature of the body, which are the earliest signs of plague.

Thirdly.�Indications of derangement of tho brain, varying in intensity from partial coma to absolute

phrenzy (rarely observed in animals affected with plague), have been invariably present in tho cases of tho disease which now affects cattle in the island.

Fourthly.�The malady appeared simultaneously among cattle located in different parts of the island, and in one instance attacked a cow depastured in an isolated situation on tho top of a mountain (Brid Sloauwhallin) under circumstances which render it extremely improbable that the disease was the result of contagion.

Fifthly.�The losses, so far as they have been ascertained up to the present time, are insignificant, including�

1 cow at Port-e-cheo, killed May 28th.

1 � Braddon, died May 31st.

1nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;� Marrown, died June 1st.

2nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; � Peel, died May 28th.

1 � Nab Farm, found dead June 1st.

4 � Kirk Andreas, 2 killed, 2 died. May

27th, 28th, 29th. 1 � Douglass, died June 5th. 1 � Douglass, died June 7th. 1 � Brid Sleauwhallin, died Juno 7th.

Besides these cases which terminated fatally, there are three cows now ill, but giving no indications of plague.

From a careful consideration of the whole of the evidence at present before me, I have arrived at the conclusion that tho affection from which the cattle in the Isle of Man are suffering is not rinderpest, but a disease depending entirely upon local causes.

The fatality which has hitherto attended the affection would in all probability be considerably modified by the establishment of a proper system of supervision, in order to detect the earliest indications of disease ; and by the adoption of those sanitary and remedial measures, the details of which relating to dietetics, ventilation, drainage, isolation of sick ani�mals, and disinfection, would naturally suggest them�selves to the mind of a competent professional man.

I have the honour to be. Sir, Your obedient servant,

G. T. Bkown. Cattle Plague Department,

Privy Council Office. To His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Man.

No opportunity was afforded during the short time which the inquiry occupied of arriving at a definite opinion as to the nature and causes of the malady, nor did the investigation assume the character of an exhaustive inquiry in reference to the pathology and etiology of the disease. The object was in fact to determine whether an affection having a likeness to cattle plague was or was not that disease, and this point having been decided, the investigation was at an end. Until a complete inquiry shall have been made both in the Isle of Man and in Ireland, the subject must remain in its present obscure con�dition. With the limited knowledge which is now possessed respecting the character of the disease and the conditions under which it is developed, an opinion as to its nature must of necessity be purely speculative.

Cattle Plague in Sheep and Goats.

At the time of the introduction of the cattle plague in 1865, very little apprehension was entertained by professional men of its extension to animals other than those of ox species, and so strong was the feeling of security which was experienced by dairymen and fnnncrs in this respect, that it was not unusual for sheep and goats to bo put into shedraquo; with infected entile for the purpose of quot;sweeteningquot; the place.

Meanwhile, as the disease advanced, reports of sheep, goats, pigs, and oven horses becoming affected, were received with, however, but little attention. Tho first case which tended to arouse a suspicion of the possible extension of the disease to other animals than cattle occurred in a goat. In August 186,5 attention was attracted to the sick animal, in conse�quence of a statement made by tho person who

CATTLE PLAGUE IN QBEAT BRITAIX.

293

had tho care of it, to tho effect that the creature had all the appearances of a quot; little cow quot; affected with cattle plague. On making an inspection of the animal, it was found that the report of tho symptoms was in no way exaggerated: the goat was standing in one corner of the shed presenting a state of extreme prostration, with its head depressed, ears drawn back, a discharge of glairy fluid from tho eyes and nostrils, respiration hurried, and pulse rapid and irregular. A copious diarrhoea was also present.

With the view to watch tho case more closely tho goat was removed to the Royal Veterinary College, where it died a few days after admission. A post-mortem examination shewed that the morbid appearances were remarkably like those of cattle plague. Inquiry was made into tho previous history of the animal, but nothing was ascertained which threw any light upon the origin of disease. The goat had been purchased about ten days before it was taken ill by a private gentleman, to supply his children with milk; for about a week it yielded a good supply; after that time the quantity was lessened, and when the illness was established tho secretion entirely ceased. There did not appear to be sufficient evi�dence to justify the conclusion that the animal had contracted cattle plague, and there was at that time no opportunity afforded to pursue tho investigation in the direction indicated. Subsequent events, however, determined the question of the susceptibility both of sheep and goats to the influence of cattle plague virus, and entirely obviated the necessity for experi�ments, which were nevertheless carried out for the purpose of definitely deciding the matter.

In September 1865 some sheep belonging to Mr, Temple, of Blakeney, Norfolk, were reported as being affected with the plague, which had extended from them to the cattle on the farm. At the same time also a fatal affection was said to be existing among sheep at Crown Point, near Norwich, An inquiry was instituted by direction of the Lords of the Council in reference to these cases, and the following account of the investigation was sent to the Clerk of the Council :�

quot; Report on a Disease amono Sheep identical with 'Cattle Plague,'

quot; Veterinary Department,

23, New Street, Spring Gardens,

September 25th, 1865.

quot; Sir,

quot; I beg to report that, acting on the instruc�tions received from you, to investigate without loss of time the statement received at your office relative to an outbreak of the cattle plague in a remote part of the county of Norfolk, supposed to have arisen from cattle having been in contact toith some diseased sheep recently brought to the premises, I have visited the district in question, and inquired into all the cir�cumstances of the case,

quot; It appears that as far back as the 17th of August, Mr. C. Temple, farmer and merchant, of Blakeney, received on his farm 120 lambs, which he had instruc�ted a dealer to procure for him for feeding purposes. The lambs were bought at Thetforcl Fair on tho preceding day, and were sent by rail direct to Fakenham, from which place they were driven to Blakeney, a distance of about ten miles. On their arrival they appeared to be fatigued to a greater extent than ordinary, which was, however, attributed to the heat of the weather and tho exertion they had undergone. In addition to their fatigue the shep�herd observed that several of them seemed unwell, and he remarked to his master that thoy did not appear to be 'a very healthy lot,' and that he thought it would be better to return them to the dealer,

Within a day or two of this time the symptoms of illness became more apparent, and in addition to the original cases, many more of the animals bad been attacked. On the 2'lth two of tho worst cases were removed from the field to the farm premises, and were placed in a shed for treatment, which was

afterwards occupied by a cow. On tho 25th two of tho lambs died, and, in consequonco of this and of the largo number which were now affected, the whole were brought on tho morning of tho 27th into the same yard whore tho shed, previously alluded to, is situated. Besides this shed there is also another, which is separated from the yard only by some old furze faggots. Into this shed the cows were driven night and morning for being milked, Tho lamba remained in tho yard till the morning of tho 28th, when, having had some medicine administered to them, thoy were returned to the field, and never came again near tho cows. While in tho yard three died, two on tho 27 th and one on the 28 th; and, on tho fol�lowing day, two others died in tho fkild. From this time the disease wont on, so that by Friday last, Sep�tember 22d, tho day of my visit, forty-six had either died or been killed, and twenty-seven were in a very precarious condition.

On September 7th, ten days after tho last ex�posure to the sheep, a cow gave ovidenco of being affected with the cattle plague. This animal was the one which had been put into the shod occupied by the diseased sheep on tho 24th August, A second cow was attacked on September 11th, and a third shortly afterwards. These cases were followed by others, so that by the 16th all tho cows�six in num�ber�a heifer, and a calf, were all dead.

My examination of tho lambs showed that they wore umnistakeably the subjects of the plague. The symptoms agreed in almost every particular with those observed in cattle affected with tho malady, and the post-mortem appearances were also identical,

quot; Witb a further view of ascertaining the true nature of the changes produced in the system prior to death, I had four of the lambs killed, and from them I took some diseased parts, which I forwarded to the Royal Veterinary College without note or comment. These parts were examined by my colleague, Mr, Var-nell, who at once recognized the special changes of structure which are caused by the cattle plague,

quot; The whole facts of the case leave not the least doubt of sheep being liable to the disease termed cattle plague, and that when affected they can easily communicate the malady to the ox tribe ; and, more�over, that the plague, when so conveyed, proves equally as destructive, as when propagated from ox to ox in tho ordinary manner. The case is also the more important from having occurred in a place not less than fourteen miles distant from any other where the cattle plague exists, thus placing beyond a doubt the fact of the malady being introduced among tho cattle on the farm by the sbeep alone,

quot; I regret to add that this is not a solitary instance of sheep being affected with the cattle plague. I learned that some sheep were supposed to be similarly affected belonging to Mr, R, J, H, Harvey, M.P., on his estate at Crown Point, near Norwich, This place I also visited, and found a flock of upwards of 2,000 iambs, among which the malady was prevail�ing. A large number had been separated from the diseased, and gave no evidence of the malady. Very many, however, had died ; and the disease was making rapid progress, I also examined many of tho dead lambs, and found tho post-mortem appearances to be identical with those seen in tho other cases spoken of in this report. In this instance the malady was brought on to the estate by the purchase of somo cattle which afterwards died from the plague, and which were unfortunately pastured with the sheep at tho time the disease manifested itself.

quot; The whole matter is one of so much import�ance, that I lose no time in submitting these par�ticulars to you, for the information of the Lords of the Council.

quot; I have tho honour to be, amp;c,,

In consequence of this cominmiicaUon to the Clerk of tho Council, important alterations were imme-

diatoly made iii tho existin}; orders of Council rcla-tivo to the cuttle plague, tho word quot;animal,quot; in the order of September 22, 1865, being made to include sheep and gouts.

As already stated, the disease was convoyed to Mr. Harvey's lambs from their being pastured with some young cattle, upwards of 100 in number, which were tho subjects of tho plague.

Tho disease rapidly spread among thorn so that 1,200 only remained in the early part of October out of a flock which originally consisted of 2,074. The ilrst death occurred on September 9th, and from that time the deaths were said to nvcrngo from 25 to 50 per day. It is believed that when tho disease ulti�mately ceased not more than 500 lambs wore left, but exact information upon the point could not bo obtained.

Much differcnoo of opinion, however, prevailed respecting the susceptibility of sheep to cattle plague ; and as the disease, which veterinary authorities considered to bo identical with cattle plague, was reported from time to time to bo present iivnong sheep in several counties, experiments were had recourse to for the purpose of deciding whether or not sheep and other ruminants wore liable to be attacked, either as tho result of inoculation with the virus of cattle plague, or exposure to contact with diseased animals.

At the Royal Veterinary College the following experiments were instituted :�

No. 1,�ExposniiE op Sheep to Infection.

October 6.�Two sheep (hoggets) were placed in a shed in which a cow had died tho day before from the plague. Tho disease did not declare itself in tho sheep until the 26th. One of them died on tho 30th, and the other lingered on until tho. 1.9th of November. No. 2.�Inoculation pkom Ox to Sheep.

October 14.�A sheep (hogget) was inoculated with matter taken from the oye of an ox aftected with tho plague. On the 20th it showed marked symp�toms of the disease, and died on tho 23rd. No treat�ment.

No. 3.�Inoculation vbou Sheep to Sheep.

October 14.�A sheep (hogget) was inoculated with matter taken from tho nostrils of one of Mr. Harvey's sheep from Crown Point, Norwich. On tho 20th it showed well-marked signs of tho plague, and died on the 28l'd. No treatment.

No. 4.�Inoculation puom Sheep to Sheep. October 14.�A second sheep (hogget) was inocu�lated with matter also taken from the nose of the same sheep as in No. 2, On tho 20th it evinced symptoms of the plague, and died on the 30th. This sheep was submitted to treatment.

No. 5.�Inoculation from Ox to Sheep. October 14.�A hogget was inoculated with matter taken from the eye of an ox affected with the plague. The animal was submitted to treatment, and recovered.

No. 6.�Association of Sheep with Diseased Cattle.

October 19.�Two sheep (hoggets) were placed in a shed with a cow affected with the plague. On the 23rd they became affected with the disease, and on the 31st both died.�No treatment.

No. 7.�Association oe Cattle with Diseased

Sheep. October 21.�A red and white calf, about 5 months old, was placed in a shed with four sheep which had taken the disease from inoculation. On the 27tli tho calf showed symptoms of having taken the disease. On the 31st it died.

No, 8,�Inoculation ekom Cow to Sheep, November 14,�A sheep was inoculated with matter taken from the vagina of a cow labouring under the plague. It died on iho 15tli, about 24 hours after being inoculated. It can hardly be imagined that this shoop died from the effects of tho inociiliition ; yet it is remarkable that every part of tho mucous tract both alimentary and respiratory, indicated faint

blushes of redness precisely like those which are so often found in tho early sluges of cattle plague. The shoe]) had been suflbring from diarrhoea for some time previously, but had recovered, and when inocu�lated it appeared to be honllhy.

Other oxperimonts wore also carried out at the College, in order to determine certain doubtful points, all of which tended to prove tho readiness with which sheep contracted tho plague.

Inoculation puom Sheep to Ox,

In this experiment a sheep was first exposed to the infection of cattle plague, and when it became afloctod with tho disease a little of the mucous secretion from the nostrils was taken and mixed with six parts of milk. This fluid was used to inoculate a calf, which took the disease and died, proving that the activity of the virus was in no way diminished by its having passed through the system of tho sheep.

Communication op Sheep Pox to Sheep kecoveked ek05i cattle plague, January, 1866.�Three sheep which had recovered from cattle plague were inoculated with lymph of ovine small-pox. All the animals took variola, which passed through its several stages without any modification.

Communication oe Cattle Plague to Sheep

kecoveked ekom ovine small-pox. March, 1866.�Three sheep were inoculated in the first instance with matter of ovine small-pox. All the animals took the disease, and one died. Tho two which recovered were inoculated with the virus of cattle plague, and both of them took the disease. �

These experiments demonstrated the essentially different nature of the cattle plague and ovine small�pox. They were had recourse to chiefly in con�sequence of several pathologists being of opinion that cattle plague was essentially a variolous disease.

The fallacy of the opinion may bo said to be shown by other facts besides those revealed by these experi�ments ; thus sheep, although remarkably thin-skinned animals, are. found perfectly free from papular erup�tions when suffering from cattle plague ; nor is there any local evidence, by the existence of a quot; brick-red quot; spot, at tho place of inoculation with plague virus, as there is with the virus of variola. Goats also arc free from any such cutaneous eruption. These animals take cattle plague as readily, if not more so, than sheep, but they are not susceptible to the infection of sheep pox; nor have they hitherto been brought under tho influence ofthat disease in this country by inoculation. Bovine animals, again, enjoy an equal immunity from sheep pox as goats, Nevertheless the cattle plague is perfectly interchangeable betw�en these three tribes of animals, without reference to the one first affected, either by natural infection or by inoculation.

The Medical Committee of the Norfolk Cattle Plague Association also conducted a critical inquiry respecting the liability of sheep to contract the cattle plague, and in their report to the Koyal Commission in December 1865, upon the general question of the plague in the ox and other ruminants, the follow�ing conclusions are given as the result of their observations:�

quot; 1. That tho disease is the result of a specific blood

quot; poison. quot; 2. That it is un eruptive disease, closely allied

quot; in its nature to the exanthemata in man. quot; 3. That it is both infeefcious and contagious, quot; 4, That it is communicable from ox to ox, from quot; sheep to sheep, and between these two classes quot; of animals by mere association, quot; 5. That it is also inocnlablo by means of tho dis-laquo; charges from bullocks to sheep, from sheep to quot; bullocks, and to each other respectively. quot;6. That the disease im seen in sheep is identical quot; in naturo with tlint of bullocks, but is milder quot; in typo, and is also modified us to its postlaquo; quot; mortem appearances.

quot;These conoluBiotis woro baeod on the following quot; expcrimcnts:�

No. 1.�Tnocujation fuom Ox to Ox. quot; On the 23i'd of October two perfectly licaUhy quot; bullocks wore inoculated from material obtained quot; from tho eyes and nostrils of a diseased ox. On quot; tho 27tli one of them showed symptoms of illness; quot; on tho 28th tho other sickened, und on tho 29th quot; thoy both exhibited such decided symptoms of quot; pln^uo that for prudential reasons thoy were killed. quot; A post mortem examination completely established quot; tho presence of cattle plague.quot;

No. 2.�Inoculation fkom Siikep to Ox, quot; November 14.�Two sound bullocks were inocu-quot; luted from the discharge from tho head of a diseased quot; sheep. On tho 23d, fours having been expressed by quot; owners of cows not far from the sheds in which quot; these boasts were placed, and tho city magistrates quot; having remonstrated, in deference to their wishes quot; the bullocks were killed, and thus in some degree quot; the experiment was frustrated ; the post-mortem quot; examination, however, disclosed such morbid ap-quot; pearances as left little doubt that in a few days quot; cattle plague would have been fully developed. quot; The iuttammatory or rather congested blush, with quot; slight patches on tho abomasum, together with tho quot; redness on tho edges of the ruga; of the rectum, quot; were sufficient to show that the animals were quot; infected with the disease.quot;

No. 3.�Inoculation from Sheep to Sheep. quot; November 14.�One hogget and one sheep were quot; inoculated from a diseased sheep ; on the second quot; day tho hogget suffered much from pain and lame-quot; ness of the right thigh, caused by the introduction quot; of the poison. On the 18th the hogget died from quot; tho combined effects of the disease and gangrene of quot; the thigh. The old sheep showed no symptoms of quot; illness, but the neighbourhood of the inoculated quot; places was much swollen and inflamed, and the quot; animal having been killed on the 23d, for the reason quot; stated in experiment No. 2, above, slight traces of quot; the disease were observable in the fourth stomach.quot;

No. 4.�Inoculation fuom Ox to Sheep. quot;November 15.�One old sheep and one hogget quot; were inoculated from matter taken from a diseased quot; ox; on the 23d the hogget was killed for the quot; reason above stated. During life there was great quot; emaciation, loss of appetite, copious discharge from quot; nostrils, diarrhoea, and much pain in the inoculated quot; thigh. The post-mortem examination revealed the quot; presence of abscesses in the right thigh, and com-quot; mencing disease of the fourth stomach.quot;

No. 5.�Inoculation fkom Sheep to Goat. quot; November 8 th.�A goat was inoculated from a quot; diseased sheep ; on the 12th it showed decided and quot; marked local manifestations around the inoculated quot; places, with, however, but little constitutional dis-quot; turbance. On the 14th the gout sickened, remained quot; ill for a few days with symptoms of cattle plague, quot; but eventually recovered.quot;

No. 6.�Association of a Goat with Kindeupkst Oxen. quot; It having been reported that a goat herded with quot; diseased oxen had been taken ill, several members quot; of the committee visited it and were convinced quot; of the existence of the external appearances of quot; cattle plague. It died on the 16th, when a post-quot; mortem examination confirmed the opinion formed lt;' during tho life of the animal.quot;

No. 7.�Association of a Sheep with Oxkn. quot; November 2.�An aged ewe died after having been quot; associated with diseased oxen. It showed most of quot; the symptoms of cattle plague both before and after quot; douth.quot;

quot;nbsp; vcmber, one died on the 12th, and (he other was

quot;nbsp; killed on the 13th, and at tho post-morlem cx-

quot;nbsp; aminution both showed undoubted appearunccH of

quot;nbsp; eventually recovered. The remainder of the iloek

quot;nbsp; from which these three sheep wore taken have

No. 9.�Association and Inoculation of Sheep.

quot;October 15.�Three healthy lambs were placed in quot; tho same shed with diseased bullocks. Two were quot; inoculated, and one simply exposed to the contagion. quot; One of the inoculated lambs died, exhibiting wliilo quot; living and after death decided symptoms of plague ; quot; the other showed symptoms of the disease, but quot; ultimately recovered. The laquo;winoculated one con-quot; tracted the disease and died.quot;

The Edinburgh Cattle Plague Committee also in�vestigated the question of the susceptibility of sheep to take cattle plague, and in their report to tho Royal Commission it is stated that�

quot; Tho committee ever since their appointment had quot; their attention directed to the question us to tho quot; liability of sheep to be infected with cattle plague. quot; Thoy wore aware of the observations made abroad quot; in Austria and Poland, and also in England, espe-quot; dally in Norfolk, which seemed to prove that sheep quot; are liable to the disease, though by no means so quot; liable as cattle, nor to the disease in so severe a quot; form.quot;

The experiments performed by the Edinburgh Cattle Plague Committee in October 1865 seemed at first, quot; to militate against tho liability of sheep quot; to take cattle plague, and also against their quot; liability, though free from the disease themselves, quot; to carry the infection to cattle in their wool, quot; or otherwise, after having been kept in close quot; contact with diseased cattle. Ten sheep of different quot; breeds and ages�viz., two aged Cheviot sheep, two quot; three-year old do,, two Danish sheep, two Swedish quot; sheep, and two lambs�were placed, at the sugges-quot; tion of the Messrs. Swan, cattle dealers, in the Edin-quot; burgh sanatorium, a large house made of wood, quot; where cattle labouring under the plague were quot; being treated. They wore kept for 14 hours out. of quot; the 24 confined in the sanatorium in contact with the quot; worst possible cases of cattle plague. During the quot; remaining 10 hours they were allowed to graze in quot; an adjoining paddock, not far from the pits in which quot; the carcases of very numerous cattle, dead of the quot; plague, were being buried. They were kept in the quot; sanatorium for 24 days, at tho end of which time quot; Professor Dick, V. S., gave a certificate to the effect quot; that they were clear of any disease whatever.

quot; Eight of these sheep were next, as had been sug-quot; gested by Dr. Andrew Wood, chairmim of this quot; committee, removed from the sanatorium and itnme-quot; diately placed in a small field along with four cattle, quot; viz., one short-horn cow, one calf, and two foreign quot; cows. The cattle and sheep were thus kept together quot; for over 30 days, at the end of which period they quot; wore again inspected by Professor Dick, V. S., who quot; certified them to be all in good health.quot;

If negative evidence might be taken in proof of a proposition, tho non-susceptibility of sheep to cattle plague and their incapacity to carry the infection were established by these experiments. Further investiga�tion, however, led the committee to disregard these negative results, in the presence of positive evidence which had been obtained.

In November 1865 cattle plague broke out among the sheep on tho Dean Farm near Edinburgh, and In March 1866 it occurred among sheep in Eileshire, Hence, notwithstanding their early experience, tho

APPENDIX II. TO THE REPORT OH THE

committee finally reported in reference to this subject as follows:�

quot; The conclusion at which they have laquo;irrivoil is quot; that sheep are liable to cattle plague, may bo quot; inoculated with it, or may take it by infection com-quot; municated from cattle labouring muler the disease, quot; or from being placed in byres or courts where quot; cattle have recently died of the disease ; that they quot; are by no means so liable to take it as cattle, and quot; that they do not generally take it in so severe and quot; fatal a form.quot;

The committee added, that they had met with five or six instances in which goats were brought in contact with diseased cattle, and that all but one took the disorder in a mild form, and recovered.

It is very remarkable that many of the experiments which were instituted at Edinburgh and also in Norfolk for the purpose of testing the susceptibility of sheep to cattle plague, were attended with either inconclusive or negative results, while those performed in London were almost invariably successful. The same thing was observed in the course of our inquiries in dif�ferent counties of England: in some instances sheep were exposed to infection for long periods without experiencing any injurious consequences, while in others the mere accidental contact with diseased cattle, or the occupying a yard for a few hours only where cattle had died of the disease, proved to be sufficient to infect them.

In spite of repeated proofs, experimental and otherwise, of the liability of sheep to take cattle plague, and their power to transmit the disease to cattle, so much scepticism continued to prevail throughout the country, that for more than a year after the facts had been ascertained, stock owners continued to indulge a sense of positive security, and, so far from using ordinary precautions to prevent the exposure of their sheep to the infection, frequently departed from the ordinary system of management, apparently in sheer contempt of scientific teachings.

During an inquiry in Buckinghamshire where cattle plague prevailed among the sheep in August 1866, it was ascertained that several of the outbreaks were the result of the unnecessary exposure to the cattle plague infection. Flocks were constantly driven at night into yards where diseased cattle were standing or from which dead cattle had recently been removed. Sheep which contracted the plague in consequence of such exposure were believed to be the subjects of some common affection, and no care was taken to remove them from the flock, and, as a natural result, the malady spread in several instances to nearly all the sheep on the farm. In two flocks the loss was over 50 per cent. ; but others only suffered to the extent of 6 or 6 per cent.

The experience of several farmers was quite in favour of the general belief in the non-susceptibility of sheep to the disease. Among others, the following stock owners in Bucks gave good reasons for their confident assertions that sheep were exempt from all risk, however they might be exposed.

Mr. Griffin had some sheep at pasture in the same field with diseased cattle, and took no pro-cautions whatever to prevent the communication of disease to them; the sheep nevertheless remained healthy.

Mr. Gramble had 90 ewes and lambs in the next field to that in which cattle affected with plague were kept; the sheep remained free from disease.

Mr. Dodwell had similar experience with his sheep, which were allowed to graze on the pastures with cattle affected with the plague.

Mr. R. Dodwell intentionally exposed his sheep to contact with diseased cattle, under the not un�common impression that sheep and goats in some way quot; sweetenquot; stables and sheds ; he put his sheep in the cow-shed with diseased cattle, and did not observe that any injury was occasioned to the sheep from this exposure.

Mr. liadlord kept sheep in the yard with diseased cattle, and no disease occurred.

These instances are quoted merely as examples because they were personally investigated. There is no lack of equally reliable evidence of the exposure of sheep to the infection of cattle plague without their becoming diseased. Indeed, the results of our investigations enable us to assert that the majority of the sheep which were by accident or design exposed to infection failed to take the disease. This negative evidence is valuable in so far as it indicates the existence of a low degree of susceptibility in the sheep as compared with the ox. It does not, how�ever, in the least modify the positive conclusion that sheep are susceptible to the plague, and, in the absence of any knowledge of the conditions by which the degree of susceptibility is determined, it does not sanction the disregard of all necessary precautions.

As soon as the existence of cattle plague among sheep was officially recognized, forms were sent out from the Veterinary Department in order to obtain in�formation as to the number of animals attacked.

In September 1866 the returns were completed; the plague having yielded to the measures which were directed to its extermination. Before, however, the plague in sheep was finally got rid of, it had broken out in the following counties in England:� Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, North�amptonshire, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, Somersetshire, Worcestershire, Warwick�shire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Cumberland. In Scotland, in Roxburgh, Edinburgh, Fife, Perth, and Forfar,

Had it been necessary to add to these facts, numerous cases might have been cited of the ready transmission of the plague from cattle to sheep and sheep to cattle, and also of the introduction of the plague into farms and districts hitherto free, by the purchase of sheep in whose system the disease was incubated. Suffice to say that sheep of almost every breed and age were attacked, without reference to their being either breeding, fatting, or store animals. And, as with the non-influence of breed, age, or management, so with food and weather. Cases oc�curred in the height of summer and in the depth of winter; with animals feeding on grass, or on turnips; on cake, or on corn.

The total number of attacks reported officially amounted in England to 7,754, and in Scotland to 759. Of the 7,754 attacked in England, 5,343 were returned as having died, 1,186 as having been killed, and 1,162 as having recovered, leaving 63 unaccounted for. The actual total of attacks was, however, very far in excess of that reported, arising from the circumstance that not only weeks, but months elapsed between the first ascertained cases of the plague in sheep, and the resolve of the Government to call for returns of the attacks.

General Chakacters of Cattle Plague as it ArFECTS Sheep a.nd Goats.

No very marked difference is to be perceived in the condition of a sheep or goat when suffering from cattle plague when compared with that of an ox afflicted with the same disease; indeed, the similarity of the appear�ance in the different animals in the first place excited the suspicion that the affection from which sheep and goats suffered was identical with cattle plague.

At the outset the infected animal manifests a dis�inclination to move about the pasture, and a departure more or less decided from its usual habits. Often when watching a flock from which the worst cases of disease had been removed, we observed certain of the apparently healthy animals stop in the midst of their grazing and stare intently at the ground for a short period, after which they would go on feeding as before. Such sheep on being caught never failed to indicate infection by the rise of temperature to 104deg; or 106deg;. Sometimes also there would be the ordinary aphthous exudation of cattle plague evident on the membrane of the lips and gums: this appearance,

�#9632;

however, oven in the worst cases of cattle plague among Bheop, was never so frequent as in cattle.

The quot; cattle plague mouthquot; was, however, seen in sheep more frequently in different parts of Bucking�hamshire, Essex, Lincolnshire, and Norfolk, than in other counties.

As the disease advances, the sheep becomes more and more dispirited, and often selects a corner of the field or yard as remote as possible from its com�panions. This circumstanco renders it comparatively easy to distinguish tho animals which are most severely affected by looking over the field and mark�ing the sheop which raquo;re seen lying down or standing in a drooping attitude, separated from each other and from the rest of tho flock.

Diarrhoea sets in at different periods from the com�mencement of the attack, according to tho severity of the disease, and the general condition of the animals. Almost invariably in a day or two after the first symptoms of illness are apparent, tho evacuations become liquid, light in colour, and extremely footid. At this time tho prostration increases, and the animals appear to suffer acutely, as indicated by frequent moaning and grinding of teeth. Other symptoms, such as cessation of rumination, loss of appetite, a deeply congested state of the conjunctiva! membrane, excoriated lips, and discharge from the eyes and nostrils,�so often observed in cattle affected with plague,�are also present in sheep when labouring under the disease.

The reports of different investigators are in perfect accord in reference to the symptoms and morbid appearances. Professors Varnell and Pritchard in their report to the Eoyal Commission state that the general symptoms of cattle plague in sheep are the same as in the ox, and those who have seen them in the latter animal would have no difficulty in recog�nizing them in the former. Wo extract from the report of Professors Varnell and Pritchard, the des�cription they give of the symptoms of the disease in its several stages.

quot;First stage.�Usually the earliest symptom is, quot; that the animals have lost their natural and peculiar quot; liveliness. On approaching them we see that they quot; hang their heads down, they look dull, and they quot; seem to have a great desire to get by themselves, quot; and are frequently lying. In addition to the quot; foregoing symptom, there is partial loss of appetite, quot; languid rumination, and frequent grinding of their quot; teeth. If made to move, the creatures do so with quot; their back a little arched, and there is a great dis-quot; position to slacken their pace, and perhaps to lie quot; down.quot;

quot; Second stage.�In this stage the animal will occa-quot; sionally eat a little food, but it rarely ruminates. quot; The experienced flock master or shepherd will see quot; at a glance when his sheep are not well. The coat quot; will have lost its gloss ; for however long or rough quot; the wool on a sheep may be, it is glossy in health. quot; The animals will cough if disturbed. There will be

quot; it will bo found near to or partially in some hedge quot; or secluded nook. If the animal is in a shed or quot; stable it will get under tho manger or into some quot; corner, and frequently stands with its head pen-quot; dulous; but more often tho animal is lying down. quot; The breathing is accompanied by a low moan, and quot; sometimes, as in the ox, by a grunt. Tho evac-quot; nations are footid; tho visible mucous membranes quot; have a livid hue; tho gums are partly denuded of quot; their epithelium ; the wool is detached with case ; quot; the breath as well as the whole carcase is offensive quot; to the smell. Soon after those symptoms make quot; their appearance death takes place.''

The Norfolk Cattle Plague Committee report the symptoms of the plague as observed in sheep to bo as follows :�

First stage.�The animal usually separates itself from the flock and presents a dull and dispirited np-poaranco, is heavy-looking about the eyes, with lopped cars ; tho appetite is impaired, and rumination lazily performed ; the circulation and respiration are in�creased in frequency ; there is a staggering gait and occasional cough.

Second stage,�Total loss of appetite, entire cessa�tion of rumination, mucous membranes red and con�gested, particularly those of the eyelids, nose, and vagina ; there is occasionally a ropy discharge from tho mouth and nostrils, with excoriations inside the lips and gums, and in most cases a piteous and distressing moan.

3rd stage,�There is an increase of all the above symptoms, great prostration of strength, offensive stools, and stinking breath.

Other independent authorities concur in these statements of cattle plague as seen in sheep. Indeed, it may bo asserted that the indications of the plague in this animal, although it belongs to another tribe of ruminants, differs less, as a whole, from the special symptoms of the disease, than is often observed on comparing one case of plague with another in the ox.

The investigation of the pathology of cattle plague in sheep in England was conducted quite indepen�dently, and was commenced with a prejudice in favour of the belief that these animals were not susceptible to the disease,�a belief which was not abandoned until experience had proved that both sheep and goats, readily contracted the disease by exposure and by inoculation.

Period of incubation of cattle plague in sheep.^ It has been ascertained by direct inoculation that this is about the same as in the ox, viz., from five to eight days. Sheep, however, which were exposed to tho infection by being put into sheds where diseased cattle had stood, or brought in contact with infected animals, exhibited symptoms of the disease at various periods, from five to twenty days. These variations do not, however, in reality affect the determination of tho average period of incubation, because, as must be quite evident, they were duo to the fact of some of the animals having resisted the infection altogether for a longer time than others. The period of incu�bation is only to be calculated from the moment when tho contagium has actually entered the organism of tho exposed animal,

Post-rnortem appearances.�In the majority of the cases of cattle plague in sheep, examined by us the morbid changes wero very marked, particularly in the lining membrane of tho abomasum. Some sheep which were dissected in Buckinghamshire, Cambridge�shire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Somersetshire for example, were remarkable in this respect ; the mucous membrane of the fourth stomach being of a deep crimson colour, hoomorrhagic, and covered with patches of yellow granular exudation. Not unfro-quently, however, tho membrano of the abomasum was pale in colour, or of a tint which may be termed quot; dirty white,quot; variegated with patches of deep con�gestion and occasional erosions. Frequently the folds nearest the pylorus were much thickened and covered

�

quot; s slight discharge from their eyes and nostrils. �' Their ears will be lopped, their eyes partially quot; closed, the eyelids swollen, and their lining metn-quot; branes, especially of the lower one, reddened. (This quot; we have observed to be more common in sheep than quot; in oxen.) Kespiration and the rapidity of the pulse quot; is increased, and in the majority of instances quot; diarrhoea will have set in.quot;

quot; Third stage.�quot;When an animal is affected with quot; the plague in this stage it manifests a great desire quot; to be alone, and to put its head into a corner. Its quot; breathing is accelerated ; the pulse is quick ; tho quot; feet are cold. The alvine evacuations arc profuso quot; and foetid; there is a muco-purulent discharge from �' the eyes and nostrils; the appetite is gone ; great quot; thirst is evinced, and tho animal, if it gets tho quot; opportunity, will sometimes drink large quantities quot; of water. The animal grinds, its teeth as if in pain, quot; and will allow any one to approach it.quot;

quot; Fourth and last stage.�This occurs shortly lt;lt; before tho death of the animal, when if in a field

with granular exudation. Tho duodenum was mostly congested) and in other parts of the intestines patches of (loop congestion wore found. Tho lungs wcro never cinpliyscinatous to the extent which is seon in cattle, but they were invariably more or less congested. Tho heart was usually llabby and nearly empty, In sonic cases peteohios were present in both ventricles. The trachea and bronchial tubes contained a great deal of frothy mucus, and in many instances the larynx was eroded and also highly congested. Aphthous exudation in numerous cases existed in tho fauces, on the sides of tho tongue, on tho palate, and also on tho garni and lips. These morbid con�ditions are depicted in plates 27 and 28 of the Appendix to the lloyal Commissioners' Third Report on the Cattle Plague,

Treatment.�Tho treatment of eattlo plague among sheep was more successful than when applied to cattle; and, as in the case of theso animals, great benefit appeared to result from abstinence from solid food. Loft to themselves, however, a considerable por-cent-ago of sheep recovered, and tho most simple precau�tions, often tho mere removal of the infected animals from tho flock, sufficed to arrest the progress of the disease, #9632;which only assumed a fatal form when little or no care was taken to control its ravages.

Cases of cattle plague in sheep were not only seen in England and Scotland during the prcvalonco of the disease, but also in Belgium and Holland. Professor Gerlacli, of Hanover, in his examination before the lloyal Commission, stated that while he was engaged in investigation of the cattle plaguo in Holland, his attention was attracted by tho peculiar appearance of a number of sick sheep near Schiedam, which, on a close examination, he felt satisfied were tho subjects of tho plague. Ho called the attention of the Dutch Commission to the circumstance, and obtained leave to tost the nature of the disease by inoculation. His experiments proved successful in every instance in communicating the plague from sheep to sheep.

In tho Journal de la Societe Agricole, Brussels, Feb. 1867, it is recorded that the cattle plague broke out in a flock of sheep on a farm at Tele, South Flan�ders, to which place tho disease had been taken by a bull, bought at a fair at Brussels, which had been put into a stable previously occupied by some diseased cattle. The plague was detected among tho sheep, which numbered 154, about three weeks after its conveyance to the farm, and in consequence of its virulence the animals were at once killed. Besides theso cases, 99 sheep, the subjects of the plague, were slaughtered in North Flanders, and nine in the Pro�vince of Liege. The susceptibility of sheep and goats to contract the disease is fully admitted by Con�tinental authorities, their attention having been specially directed to the subject since 1860, at which time the discovery appeal's to have been first made.

Tho following interesting Memorandum on the subject, by Professor Sclfinan, of the University of Warsaw, is published in tho Third Eeport of tho Royal Commissioners :�

Memokanduji on the Cattle Disease, by Pro�fessor P. Seifman, of the Veterinary School; University of Warsaw.

quot;Tho 'MedicalTimes,' No. 79C, contains an article in which it is stated that Professor Simonds made tho first discovery that sheep are capable of taking the so-called cuttle typhus, not only conveying tho contagion but themselves being attacked by a genuino form of tho disease ; and also that no such discovery has hitherto been made on tho continent.

quot;I hove no doubt that Professor Simonds has made the above-mentioned discovery as far as regards England, but I must altogether protest against the Btatoment that we on the continent had not also inado a similar discovery. Up to the year ISHO tho cattle typhus was considered to be entirely confined to cattle, and this opinion Avas quite justified by tho cir�cumstance that, with the exception of some isolated

cases, tho sheep remained remarkably froo from nil disease in tho districts where tho cattle typhus was tho most prevalent.

quot;From cases which occurred during tho last five years in Bohemia, Hungary, Austria, in several governments in Itussia, and more especially from what has come under my own immediate observation in Poland, I camo to tho conclusion that both sheep and goats aro liablo to take tho cattle typhus. This disease in sheep is absolutely identical with tho genuino cattle typhus, not only as regards its con�tagious qualities, but also in symptoms and pathology.

quot; I have no hesitation in saying that up to tho present time tho causes of the contagion as regards sheep are most mysterious, as it has been remarked on all sides that sheep which have been in closo contact with diseased cattle by no moans invariably themselves contract tho disease.

quot; To give an instance of the above I may state, that in tho year 1863, when the eattle typhus was most prevalent, tho sheep were only infected in ono out of tho thirty-nine districts of the kifigdom of Poland, namely, in the district of Lomza; twenty localities were infected in this district, and the number of sheep which died amounted to 4,000.

quot; There is no doubt that with sheep the disease is by no means so destructive and fatal as with cattle, and tho number of sheep which recover may be taken at an average of 20 per cent. With regard to tho remedies I can give no decisive opinion, but, unques�tionably, cleanliness of the sheep-fold and plenty of ventilation are tho first things to be considered, and of course sick sheep should be instantly isolated from tho rest of the flock.

quot; Great attention should be paid to the Veterinary Police regulations, which, if followed, do much to obviate contagion.

quot; As soon as reports were received from Lomza of tho existence of the disease among the sheep, I was sent, under instructions from Government, to investi�gate the matter, and in conjunction with the local veterinary surgeons to report the result; after receiv�ing my report, tho Government issued regulations bearing a close similarity to those in force with regard to arresting tho contagion among the cattle.

quot; From the above circumstances, it is perfectly clear that on the continent, and particularly in the kingdom of Poland, we were well aware that sheep were subject to the cattle typhus, and that measures had boon taken by the Government so early as the year 1863.

quot; Time and space in this short memorandum forbid my entering upon the very interesting features re�specting the transmission of this malady from sheep to cattle, and vice versa, and for such information I must refer any who are curious upon this subject to my report, published by tho Medical Council of tho kingdom of Poland, in 1863, the chief particulars of which may be found in a German book, published by Dr. M. F. Boll, at Vienna, in 1864, entitled i'Die liinderpest�hnliche Krankheit der Schafe und Ziegen ;' and also in an Italian report, published in Turin in 1864, under tho title of ' La Malattia delle pecoro o della capre simigliante alia pesto bovina.' quot;

The pamphlet thus alluded to as published by Professor Roll, contains a complete history of tho disease from the time of its first discovery by Dr. Maresch, Veterinary Surgeon for tho district of Mclnikcr, Bohemia.

In alluding to the early history of tho sheep and goat pest. Professor Roll remarks :�

quot;Tho first of theso observations belongs to Dr. quot; Maresch, and dates from tho end of 1859. In his quot; report of that time he points out tho groat resom-quot; bianco in tho symptoms and the post-mortem ap-quot; pcarances ho had noticed in a village) where the quot; rinderpest prevailed, to a similar malady by which quot; the sheep had become affected, without, however, quot; from the novelty of tho circumstances hazarding ^rt an opinion of the identity of tho two maladies.

299

quot; A similar fact eamo boforo tho samo observer in quot; tho beginning of 1860 ; hero, also, as with tho first quot; case, the analogy with tho rinderpest was very quot; striking.

quot;At tho end of 1861 tho facts woro repeated in quot; Bohemia, while, almost simultaneously, communi-quot; cations were received from Dr. Galumbos, Prolaquo; quot; fessor of tho Veterinary School of Pcsth, that a quot; similar malady had boon ascertained to have occurred quot; in Hungary. We shall give a seriatim account of quot; all the observations which have como to our know-quot; ledgo on this subject; first, of those which havo quot; boon made in Austria, which are mostly derived �quot; from official documents, and afterwards of those quot; made in other countries.quot;

quot; Observations made in Austria. quot; I.�Bohemia.

quot; The first observation dates from December 1859, at Wysoka, in the district of Melnikcr, after the outbreak of the rinderpest there. Tho sheep-pen was close to tho shed where the cattle were kept, which afforded many opportunities for communicating the infection. Out of 108 sheep, the number of the flock, 38 fell sick with analogous symptoms to those of the rinderpest, 18 died, 4 were killed, andl6 recovered.

In the latter part of the same month tho malady appeared near to the town of Mseno in five different places. The total number of sheep was 138, and of these 80 became affected, out of which 44 died, 21 were killed and 15 recovered.

In November 1861 two small flocks were attacked in Chlumetz, Jiciner district; 25 were attacked, 9 died, and 3 were killed.

quot; II.�Carniola.

^u In the beginning of the month of April 1863 the rinderpest broke out in Carniola. Already, in the month of May, information was received that a similar malady had been observed amongst the sheep and goats. During tho prevalence of the pest similar cases occurred in six divisions of tho Province, viz., Cernembl, Senosetsch, Feistritz, and Laas.

quot; In tho Cernembler district the sheep and goat pest began about the 10th of May, and lasted until the 31st of July 1863. By order of tho Imperial-royal ministry, Dr. Maresch was directed to visit this district in June, in order to investigate tho nature of the disease. 49 � 2 of the sheep recovered and 90 per cent, of the goats.

quot; III___Istria.

quot; In the spring of 1863 the rinderpest was in�troduced into Pola by some oxen destined to the butcheries, which had been brought by sea from Croatia. It spread from thence through tho district of Pola to that of Mitterburg, Dignano, and Pisino, which places had a great intercourse with the town of Pola. In the district of Castelnuovo tho rinderpest was intro�duced from Carniola, and spread from thence to the district of Sessana. With the exception of the dis�trict of Dignano, an analogous malady to the rinder�pest soon broke out amongst sheep, but prevailed exclusively in those places where the rinderpest raged. The fact that affected sheep communicated tho post to horned cattle was repeatedly demonstrated. 554 sheep were attacked, out of which 332 died.

laquo;' IV___West Galicia.

quot; Though the development of tho sheep pest was not observed to have originally depended upon tho transmission of the infection from diseased cattle, the outbreak which followed in tho month of November 1863, in the district of Sandccor, was due to tho plague being retransmitted by sheep to cattle. The particulars arc as follows :�The rinderpest broke out in five different places after tho purchase, at a cattle fair, of thirty-four sheep, some of which were affected with tho disease. These sheep wero distributed among tho flocks of different places, whore they in-

fected the cattle. The vendor had brought tho sheep from tho frontier of Hungary, where the cattle plague prevailed at tho time.

quot; V.�Military Frontier.

quot; h\ tho Imperial Military Detachment at Agram, consisting of ten regiments, during tho prevalence of tho pest among tho cattle belonging to tho first, second, third, fourth, and tenth regiments, located in several of tho rinderpest-infected places, a similar malady prevailed among the sheep, and in two,�tho fourth and tenth regiments,�tho samo disease pre�vailed among the goats.

quot; In tho whole camp, 2,074 sheep wero attacked; of which 575 recovered, 1,438 died, 22 wero killed infected, and 39 remained sick at tho end of 1863. Of goats, 113 wero attacked, 24 recovered, and 89 died. Tho recoveries in the sheep woro 27 quot;7 per cent., in the goats 22* 6.

quot; VI.�Lower Austria.

quot; During tho prevalence of the rinderpest in the summer and autumn of 1863, tho sheep post occurred in four of the infected villages, but in two only were tho losses considerable. In one of tho villages, out of 430 sheep (tho number kept), 315 became affected, from which 212 recovered (over 69 per cent.) To�wards the end of tho outbreak the results were not quite so favourable.

quot; VII.�Transylvania. quot;During the existence of the rinderpest in 1863, in one village only, B�l�n, tho outbreak was followed by tho same malady amongst the goats. In this case, 167 became affected out of 480, and of these 155 cither died or wore killed, and only 12 recovered ; little above 3 per cent. This difference is rcmarkablo when compared with the result obtained in Carniola.

quot; VIII.�Hungary.

quot; Towards the end of 1861 a malady analogous to tho cattle plague was observed among the sheep in tho village of Ercsi, in the district of Woissenburger. The sheep wero kept under the same roof with horned cattle affected with the [ plague. Professor Galambos was the first who observed it, and after�wards sheep pest was repeatedly seen by Professor Zlamal. Since that time tho malady has prevailed extensively in tho circles of G�m�rer, Borsoder, Pressburger, Barser, and Zal�er and also in the free town of Kesmark.

_ quot; IX.�Observations relative to other Countries.

quot; 1laquo;^. The Turkish Provinces.

quot; At tho end of the year 1862 and tho beginning of 1863 it was repeatedly stated in the consular reports of Turkish-Bosnia and Herzegowina, that in those provinces where the rinderpest made great havor a most fatal disease also prevailed amongst the sheep and goats. At first the disease was mistaken for anthrax, but afterwards, by Austrian vetorinary surgeons who were sent from the military camp of Agram, it was declared to be the sheep pest, and to be caused by the spread of the contagion from tho cattle.

Kingdom of Poland. quot; The facts collected in Poland on the shoe]) pest are to bo found recorded in tho State papers at the College of Medicine, under cover of tho report of the State Commission for the Afliiirs of the Interior.* From these official documents It appears that at (he end of tho winter of 1862 the rinderpest was inlro-duccd from Russia into the district of Lomzyner, and that shortly afterwards a malady broke out amongst

APPENDIX II. TO TUB REPORT ON THE

tho sheop in some of tho infected districts, the re�semblance of which to the cattle plague was pointed out by Budzinski, veterinary assessor of tho district of Augustowo,quot;

*' For tho purpose of n closer inquiry into these hitherto (in Poland) unknown facts, the Government Commission for the Aif'airs of the Interior, sent P. Soifmann, Veterinary Professor at the Warsaw University, into the district of Lomzyner to ascertain whether the malady in the sheep was of the same nature as the then prevailing cattle plague, and if so whether it was transmissible from cattle to sheep, and vice versa. In tho event of these inquiries receiving an affirmative answer, Professor Seifmann was further instructed to report on the means he would recom�mend for arresting the disease.

quot; It was ascertained that the malady amongst the sheep was undoubtedly tho rinderpest. The ordinary duration of the malady was in some cases from six, seven, to eight days, but tho majority died from the second to the fourth day after a declaration of tho symptoms. The leading symptoms were great pros�tration ; diminution of appetite ; suspension of rumi�nation ; increased thirst; difficult respiration some�times accompanied with cough ; and further on with moaning, or with grunting. The emaciation became more and more visible, and generally on the second day an abundant discharge from the eyes, nose, and mouth, set in. On the mucous membrane of tho mouth and gums, the well-known erosions were found, and not unfrequently even at the beginning of tho attack ; an offensive smelling and copious diarrhoea existed in all the cases. The malady generally terminated fatally by an aggravation of the intensity of these symptoms. In the animals which recovered, the convalescence occupied a very long time.

quot; Many experiments of inoculation of sheep and also of goats with cattle plague virus were had re-

course to ; the results of which are thus stated at the conclusion of the report:�

quot; 1st. Tho organism of sheep and goats is sus�ceptible to the infection of cattle plague.

quot; 2nd. In both these animals the malady which results from tho infection is identical with cattle plague.

quot; 3rd. The sheep and goat post is not developed spontaneously, but appears only when tho virus of cattle plague has been in some way conveyed to those animals.

quot; 4th. The susceptibility of sheep and goats to tho infection of cattle plague is limited.

quot; 5th. The period of incubation in sheep and goats varies from four to nine days.

quot; 6th. Tho disease is less virulent in sheep and goats than in cattle. The por-contage of mortality among goats is very variable.

quot; 7th. The infection of sheep pest is communicable from sheep to cattle ; the latter are most easily infected.

8th. The disease thus communicated to cattle from the sheep is not less virulent than when tho infection is from cattle ; in other words, tho virus is not modified by having passed through the sheep.

quot; 9th. The post-mortem appearances are similar to those of the cattle plague, but there are appearances of greater congestion in the lungs of sheep.

quot; 10th. The inoculation of sheep pox has no pre�ventive effect on the infection of cattle or sheep pest.quot;

In conclusion it may be remmarked that the ob�servations of impartial and independent inquirers, working in parts of the continent remote from each other, for a period of upwards of six years, have fully exploded the once accepted conclusion, that cattle plague is a malady which only attacks the ox tribe, and have established the less satisfactory but indis�putably true position, that several other ruminants, especially sheep and goats, are more or less susceptible to this most infectious and fatal of all diseases.

Outbreaks of Cattle Plague depending on a Neglect op Ordinary Precautions.

Besides the general causes already alluded to in this report, by which the Cattle Plague was spread throughout Great Britain, others have to be named as having been brought specially into operation in many parts of the country. The notion that the disease quot; came in the air quot; did much to spread the plague, by leading many owners of cattle to neglect those precautions which common sense would otherwise have dictated. It is not too much to say that hun�dreds of outbreaks owed their origin to personal visits. Infected cattle were seen and handled by indi�viduals who did not hesitate to pass at once from the diseased animals to those in a healthy condition. Not onljr in the metropolis, but throughout the country, this indiscretion became a fruitful source of mischief. Dairy districts especially suffered from it, of which those of Cheshire, Lancashire, and Buckinghamshire were notable examples. Farmers, hearing of an out�break of plague among their neighbours' cattle, went eagerly to look at the animals, and then returned and examined their own to ascertain if they also were affected.

In Lancashire an opinion was promulgated that the plague, long before the declaration of any other symp�toms, was easily to be detected, by an eruption taking place on the mucous membrane of the vagina. It was also asserted that the malady in this stage would readily yield to treatment, more especially to the use of the hyposulphite of soda, and a cooked diet. Misled by these statements, dairy farmers and others went unhesitatingly among both diseased and healthy cows for tho purpose of examining the condition of tho vagina, and thus became a means of spreading the plague far and wide.

Another fruitful source of the extension of the plague was tho ignorance displayed by iarriers and

cattle doctors, who not only failed in recognizing the laws which govern the spread of the infection, but even in detecting the existence of the plague itself. Animals labouring under the plague were, in common with others suffering from ordinary diseases, indis�criminately dosed with the favourite nostrums of these men. Notable examples of these proceedings came under our observation in Somersetshire, Dor�setshire, Cheshire, Hants, Essex, and Suffolk, and doubtless many others occurred in different parts of the country.

Great mischief was likewise done by plague-stricken cattle being left in meadows and pasture grounds ; th� unattacked being removed to another part of tho farm, and notice of the outbreak withheld from the Inspector. The seeds of the infection were thus sown broadcast over the district. Tho alvine evacuations, loaded with germs of the malady, were carried hither and thither by various means, and often transported to considerable distances to find fresh material on which to act. In this way the disease was spread along con�tinuous meads and marshy levels,�dogs, cats, and the wild carnivora, as well as hares, rabbits, and birds, forming no insignificant media of transporting the morbific matter. Cheshire suffered greatly from this cause, as also from nearly every other which was in operation to diffuse the morbific matter ; and so also did other grazing and dairy districts in particular. In our travels through the country, tho fact of diseased cattle being left in pasture grounds was continually being brought under our notice ; and in one case, in the county of Herefordshire, we saw upwards of twenty animals, tho subjects of the plague in its various stages, ranging over tho same piece of ground.

Imperfect burial played its part also in spreading tho plague. Numerous instances were reported in which

CATTLK PLAGUE IN GREAT BRITAIN'.

the dead cattle were so suporlicially covered with earth, that dogs and foxes and other carnivorous animals were enabled to got at them. Outbreaks of the plague came under our immediate observation in several parts of the kingdom, which were only to bo attributed to a neglect of proper burial of the carcases. One or two singular cases of the kind may bo mentioned.

laquo;. A person in Dorsetshire, a believer in the cura�bility of the plague, assisted a neighbour in doctoring some plague-stricken cattle, and after doing so went without hesitation among his own animals. In the course of eight or nine days afterwards the disease broke out among his cattle. Death followed the attacks, but the matter was kept secret, and the dead animals were partly cut up, and buried under the manure in tho yard. Tho plague spread quickly in the district, and swept away many other cattle. On the circumstance becoming known to tho authorities, search was made by the police, and most of the remains of tho cattle were recovered j some parts were, however, missing, and these, as was believed, had been carried away by dogs. After a time a cessation in the attacks took place for a few weeks, when a large herd of dairy cows, some two or three miles from tho place, fell a sacrifice to the disease, from, as was supposed, some of the missing parts having been conveyed to tho farm.

b.nbsp; In this instance, a cattle dealer residing in Suf�folk bought some ewes and lambs, which proved to bo affected with the plague. They were removed from the vendor's premises to some grazing land a few miles distant, where a few days afterwards one of the ewes died. The dealer, not being aware that it was the plague which had killed the ewe, took her lamb home to his own premises, a distance of eight or nine miles. It was here put into an orchard, when, in a few days, it also died. The dealer, still ignorant of the true nature of the disease, threw the carcases into a fold yard and had it only lightly covered with manure. It so happened that his cows had access to this yard, and the consequence was that the plague broke out among the cows, and swept them all away. No disease existed elsewhere in tho neighbourhood.

c.nbsp; A third case occurred in Herefordshire.

At the outset of the plague in that county, several cows which had died of the disease were buried super�ficially on the top of sandstone rock, by the side of a shallow rivulet. The bottom of tho graves was rather above the level of the water, and from the nature of the soil a free percolation of decomposing matter took place from the carcases, and contaminated the water. Tho result was that the plague spread among the cattle which were at pasture along tho course of the stream for a distance of upwards of a mile. Elsewhere in the county, at that time, no cattle plague existed.

Besides the imperfect burial of carcases being a means of spreading the plague, improper disposal of the offal of cattle, slaughtered in consequence of being herded with the diseased, was another cause of its extension. In many parts of the country, tho offal� viz., the heart, lungs, liver, stomachs, amp;c.�of slaugh�tered animals was taken away by the butchers, even when some of the organs�particularly the stomachs�afforded distinct evidences of the existence of the disease in its early stages. No sufficient care was taken to prevent injurious results, rather on tho contrary ; for, if on examination of tho stomachs for the purpose of using them for tripe, it was found that they showed the usual redness of inflammation, they were cast away on tho dung heap, and disposed of as manure.

Most of the counties suffered from heedless pro�ceedings of this kind being added to other causes in operation to diffuse the morbific matter of the plague. An allied instance occurred in Essex.

In this case a farmer purchased some sheep at Chelmsford market which proved to be infected with tho plague. Within three or four days of their arrival on the farm some of them began to sicken, and were consequently removed from tlio pasture

ground to tho homestead, that thoy might receive bettor attention. Hero they communicated tho diseaso to some calves, and on the first of these becoming ill it was sent to tho village butcher to bo killed and dressed for tho London market. Tho butcher found tho carcase totally unsaleable, and a portion of it was taken away by another farmer residing in the district as food for his dogs. Here it was hung up in a place which afforded facilities for his cows to be brought in contact with it. Tho result was that the animals con�tracted tho plague, and all of them wore lost. Tho disease also continued to spread among tho sheep and cattle on the original farm, and swept them nearly all away.

Connected with these sources of mischief, it may be stated that some cases of the plague, which came under our immediate observation, were believed to depend on meat�the flesh of cattle�imported from Holland. At the time that cattle plague was at its height, tho supplies of beef from that country wore large, and considering how tho Dutch authorities were then acting, no reasonable doubt can be entertained that tho flesh of diseased cattle, slaughtered on the premises of tho farmers, was exported to England in large quantities. In ono instance in particular no other cause could bo assigned for the outbreak of tho disease.

Other outbreaks depended on the trade in skins, the most notable of these being that which took place at Taunton, Somersetshire. Here the introduction of the plague was clearly traced to some skins, bought at Bristol, being forwarded to Taunton for tanning.

Neglect of proper cleansing and disinfection of premises, sheds, stables, amp;c. occupied by diseased cattle likewise contributed in no small degree to tho diffusion of the plague. The construction of many buildings rendered it almost impossible to thoroughly purify them, but in those in which no such difficulty existed, the cleansing process was very imperfectly carried out. Greater mischief, however, arose from neglect of the instructions to bum, or destroy tho litter used about the diseased cattle. This was generally thrown into the ordinary fold yard, and there left to take its chance with the rest of the manure. Farmers were with much difficulty made to under�stand the evil they were bringing both on themselves and their neighbours by this practice. Infection with many of them was a thing to be seen and handled, or if not, they seemed to think it could havo no existence.

The removal of dung from London into tho country for agricultural purposes, likewise contributed its share in spreading the plague, especially during the early period of its existence. Among the ascertained cases of the kind, mention may be made of ono which occurred near to Buntingford, Herts. About three weeks before the outbreak, a barge-load of London dung arrived at the farm by canal, and was unloaded into a meadow where some cattle were grazing; this barge-load was followed by others, with intervals of only a day or two between, seven loads in all being brought down in the course of eleven days. On the 10th day succeeding the delivery of the last load, tho plague broke out among the cattle and quickly spread, so as to lead to tho destruction of the entire herd. At that time no other cases existed in tho neighbour�hood, and from tho care which was taken by the Local Authority tho disease did not spread beyond the farm in question. Until the system was put a stop to, London dung was daily carted into tho districts around the metropolis, and many isolated outbreaks of tho plague, although not distinctly traced to this practice, no doubt depended upon it. All things being con�sidered, it is a matter of surprise that tho plague was exterminated so quickly, after having reached such extraordinary dimensions, and with so many causes constantly in operation to facilitate its spread.

Cheshire has often been cited as having suffered more than any other county; but those who aro familiar with the numerous causes which existed there to favour tho continuance of the plague arc not surprised at the extent of her losses ; rather, in fact at

the smnllnoss of thorn. The dairy I'armovs displayed more than usual obstinacy in resisting the means by which the plague could alone be exterminated, and it is not too much to assert that the Local Authority was far too lax, especially at the outset, in enforcing the requirements of the law. Originally the districts assigned to the Inspectors wore so large, that it was quite impossible for many of these officers to do their duty in a proper manner. A discretionary power was likewise vested in the Inspectors, at the very time when they ought to have been urged to rigorously enforce the Orders of Council. The con�sequence of this mistaken policy was that Inspectors allowed animals to live when the attack appeared a mild one, and did not destroy those which wore found on a visit to the premises to have passed tho crisis. Besides these things the farmers themselves sought and obtained appointments as Inspectors, that they might spare tho lives of their own or their neigh�bours' cattle. Delay in appointing local committees likewise took place, and when appointed they also hesi�tated to order the cattle to be killed. Indeed, sympathy was expressed for the sufferers, when prosecutions ought to have been instituted for breaches of the Orders of Council. Farmers concealed outbreaks of disease until their losses became serious, and even then they misled tho Inspectors as to the original number of their stock, and put the diseased cattle aside that they might not be seen. On the occurrence of the disease many of them, instead of giving notice thereof,

laquo;old the animals which had been exposed to tho in�fection, and endeavoured to save the othors by apply�ing quack remedies. Indeed, quackery in all its forms received every encouragement, and so ignorant wore some of the dairy farmers that they oven paid persons to charm uway tho plague. In several instances these impostors induced their dupes to remove some of the tiles from tho cow shed, and to sit up till midnight, that they might witness tho disease escaping through the openings thus made in tho roof of tho building. If to such proceedings as these, a neglect of proper burial of the dead ; a disregard of instructions to cleanse and disinfect premises; a turning into money every part of an animal which was not declared by an Inspector�a brother farmer�to be in an advanced stage of disease; a mingling of the diseased and healthy cattle together; with every other known and unknown cause of spreading the plague be added, the reason will at once bo found for Cheshire, with her large cattle population and small occupiers of land, being obliged to borrow of the Government 266,000/. to pay for the loss she sustained by the cattle plague. Doubtless many of these things existed also in other counties, particularly in those where the character of the soil necessitates either the grazing of cattle or the keeping of cows for dairy purposes. Fortunately, the plague was not introduced into all such localities, or probably we might have had to record losses in them equal in extent to those which happened in Cheshire.

Names given to the Disease in the different Countries of Europe.

It is an admitted principle in medical science that the name given to a disease should convey a fair idea of the nature of the malady. Many of these terms, however, not having been well chosen, changes in the nomenclature of disease are frequently taking place to meet the requirement. Notwithstanding such im�provements, the pathologist, ever jealous of the principle which should guide nomenclators, will often prefer an old and ambiguous term rather than employ a new one which does not meet all the necessities of the case. For this reason the name Cattle Plague has been generally adopted in this country to denote the existence of the most malignant and fatal malady incidental to bovine animals, and only a little loss so to other ruminants susceptible to the affection. In the present state of science, it may be doubted whether the pathology of the cattle plague is fully understood, or, if so, whether any term sufficiently simple could be found to explain its nature, which would find equal favour with the professors of medicine and the public.

The German term Rinderpest, of which Cattle Plague is but the interpretation, is doubtless to be preferred to many others which are used even in that country. It is broad, open, and withal simple, while it conveys good evidence that the disease is of no ordinary typo. It is no valid objection to this term that tho plague is not exclusively met with in the ox tribe; sheep, goats, and other ruminants being occasionally its victims. Many of our best Lexi-cographers define cattle as quot;beasts of pasture,quot; and it may be said that the term quot; cattlequot; was formerly used in its fullest and not in its restricted sense. The term Hornviehseuche, which is employed in Borne of the German states, particularly those of Austria, including Galicia, is one which expresses tho spread of the disease among horned cattle, either as an ordinary epizootic, or by infection. By some persona it might, therefore, lie considered preferable to Rinderpest. The Italian name of tho disease� Pcsle Unvina�belongs to the same class as cattle plague, and so also, although somewhat less explicit, does Tchuma, the liussian name for the malady.

Attempts have, however, been made in many parts of the continent to give special names to tho disease which should bo explanatory of its pathology. Failing

this object, as they invariably have done they have necessarily led to erroneous conclusions of the nature, and often given rise to tho opinion that cattle plague is a curable disease.

Tho French name Typhus contagicux, doubtless induced many members of the medical and veterinary professions to believe that the Cattle Plague of 1865 was only a peculiar form of typhus, which would be found (o yield to remedial measures. Thus the name may bo said to have given encouragement to attempts to arrest the progress of the disease by treatment. The Dutch name of Veetyphus contributed to the same end; and especially so, as the word being used without an affix denoting the infectious nature of the quot; Cattle Typhus,quot; led even to a less correct view of tho pathology of the disease.

The German terms Magenseuche and B�sartiges Ruhrfeiher are somewhat more explicit in defining the supposed nature of the disease, and therefore perhaps even more objectionable. The first of these denotes the existence of an epizootic disease affecting chiefly the stomach; and the latter a malignant dysenteric fever. Cattle plague may be these in part, but it is something very much more, which neither of nhese terms expresses.

L�serd�rre, Bl�tterd�rre, Vebcrgallc, and Gross-galle�German�are all of them far more objectionable than any of those already commented on. The two former convey the idea that the cattle plague essentially consists of a hardness of the contents of the third stomach, while the two latter direct special attention to the disease as being chiefly due to the gall bladder being filled to repletion with bile. In the Eeport on the Cattle Plague, presented to the three National Agricultural Societies, of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1857, it was clearly shown that hardness of the third stomach, or rather of its contents, is not a speciality belonging to the cattle plague. It may bo often present in the pest, but it is just as frequently absent. The mimo L�serd�rre directs attention to one particular part of the body as the seat of diseased action, and consequently it often leads to incorrect conclusions. While studying the features of the plague in Galicia, we found that persons, familiar with cattle diseases, who were officially called upon to make jmst-mortem examinations, often hesitated to pronounce a decided

CATTLE PLAGUE IN GREAT UKITAIN.

303

opinion of tho oxistonco of tho plague when the third stoinnch was not diseusod, or its contents pretor-uatunilly hard. Hardii�ss, or drynoss of tho contents of the third stomach is frequently tho oft'eet only of suspended function of tho organ, us cessation of rumi�nation is of tho rumou, or first stomach.

With reference to tho full state of the gall bladder, as seen in making post-mortem examinations of cattle-plague victims, it also is not a speciality. It is present in most diseases in which tho functions of digestion and assimilation aro suspondod ; regard not being had either to their causes, or their nature.

To tho same selection of names belongs tho Polish, Ksizgosusz, a term which Professor Soifman, of Warsaw, says is taken from Kdazka, a book, because tho third stomach, which is also in that country con�sidered by many persons as being cli icily atlccted, has its'membraneous folds arranged after the manner of the leaves of a book.

Our early English writers employed terms far more general than most of those herein named, to denote tho existence of the cattle plague in their time. Thus wo find Bates, in 1714, speaking of tho malady as the quot; Contagious disease of milch cowsquot; and his con�temporary Bradley as the quot; Raging distemper among cows.quot; Dr. Lobb, who also wrote of tho affection a few years afterwards, adopted Bates' designation of tho disease.

Tho outbreak of 1745 produced many writers on the plague, chiefly physicians and surgeons; never�theless no attempt was made to give other than a general name to tho malady. quot;Epidemical distemper quot; amongst the black cattle;quot; quot; Pestilential fever of quot; horned cattle ;quot; quot; The cow distemper,quot; amp;e. were tho terms chiefly employed. Even Dr. P. Layard, tho

most voluminous writer on tho subject, only spoke of tho nflbction as tho quot; Contagious distemper among quot; horned cattle,quot; Mills who wrote in 1770, and who gave a fair historical account of the attcclum, described it as the quot; Contayious disease, of cattle.quot; Youatt, in his work on Cattle Diseases, published 1834, spoko of it as the quot; Malignant epidemic murrain,quot;

quot; Steppe murrainquot; lias been used by some recent English writers. Among them may bo named Dr. Grcenhow, who thus designated tho disease, In his very excellent report to tho General Board of Health quot; on Murrain in Horned Cattle, and the effects of quot; the consumption of their �esh on Human, health,quot; Although tho name. Steppe Murrain, is much to bo preferred to many others, it should not, in our opinion, supersede that of Cattle Plague. It fails to donote the class of animals most susceptiblo to tho malady, although it points to the fatality of tho disease, and the locality whence it came. An objection may also bo reasonably taken to the term Murrain on the ground of its conventional application to diseases of a totally different nature to cattle plague ; as, for example, Eczema Epizootica, quot; mouth and foot diseasequot; of cattle, is designated quot; Murrainquot; in Scotland. In England also any fatal disease arising from local causes is generally called quot; the murrain quot; by cowleaches and cattle doctors. Wo cannot but regard it therefore as creditable to the profession, that from 1714 down to 18G5 no great effort was made to give a namo to the disease which was likely to lead to erroneous conclusions as to its pathology. Indeed Great Britain has thus practically discouraged all attempts which, founded on a falso nomenclature, were likely to be tried for tho extermination of tho cattle plaguo by medical treatment.

Pathology of Cattle Plague.

A definition of cattle plague is not easily given ; it is, however, safe to assert that tho disease is essen�tially a malignant and contagious fever, depending upon the existence in the organism of a specific animal poison, and possessing characteristics allied both to typhoid and exauthematous diseases. It is highly infectious and contagious, and excessively fatal, and occurs only once in the same animal ; its principal ravages are confined to the mucous membrano of tho digestive and respiratory system, but experiments have shown that all parts of the body aro impregnated witli tho peculiar poison of tho malady.

No disease affecting the lower animals, or even man, has excited more profound attention or been more exhaustively investigated than the one known as cattle plague. On tho continent the origin, nature, mode of propagation, treatment, and prevention of the disease have engaged the attention of the most eminent medical and veterinary authorities, and in tho works of Professors K�ll, Jessen, Weber, Dietrich, Brancll, Rawitch, Spinola, Lorinser, and other distin�guished authors, a complete history of the malady is to be found. Notwithstanding the oxistonco of a lite�rature on tho subject both extensive and accessible, no sooner did tho plague appear in England than investigations was commeneed de novo, and carried out to a greater extent than had previously been attempted.

The medical committee of the Royal Commission, appointed by Her Majesty to inquire into the nature and origin of the cattle plague, began its labours in the autumn of 1865, and in May 1866 tho reports on the specified heads of Inquiry were published in an appendix to tho report of the Commission.

Tho division of the subject of inquiry into indepen�dent parts enabled each member of the committee to devote his exclusive attention to one section, and by such an arrangement tho most independent and complete investigation of every part was secured ; and considering the brief period over which the inquiry extended, no better method could have bem devised for obtaining the required information.

By this arrangement, however, tho most important portion of the inquiry, including tho pathology, morbid anatomy, and etiology of the disease, was confided to physicians who, although eminent in their own profession, laboured under the disad�vantage of knowing but little of the habits of cattle in health, and probably less of the symptoms and lesions which are distinctive of the diseases to which they are liable. Hence, almost as a matter of ne�cessity it happened that many of the symptoms and morbid appearances referred to in tho reports as characteristics of cattle plague, are in reality con�stantly present in other diseases of cattle. On the other hand the investigations of these distinguished pathologists were quite untrammelled by preconceived ideas respecting the nature of the disease ; and accordingly their reports may be accepted as faithful records of the phenomena which were observed. It is absolutely necessary, however, to state that many of the conclusions arrived at by the inquirers are open to doubt. Indeed, some of tho statements in reference to the diagnostic symptoms of cattle plaguo are quite opposed to our experience. An instance of this occurs in the following passage, taken from tho appendix to the third report of the Royal Commission :

quot; Just as small-pox is distinguished exclusively by quot; its eruption, erysipelas by the inflammation of the quot; skin, diphtheria by tho membranous concretion in quot; the faueos, so cattle plaguo may bo discriminated quot; from all other diseases whatsoever by the altera-quot; tion of the visible mucous membranes, and par-quot; tieularly of those of tho lips and gums.quot; It is not too much to affirm that if this view of the signi�ficance of the lesions of these parts wore generally accepted it would often lead to tho slaughter of cattle unnecessarily, besides creating unfounded alarm.

Cattle are not uncommonly attacked with diseases depending entirely upon local influences, and there-lore not infectious in their nature, which resemble cattle plague so exactly in the lesions of tho mouth and other parts of the mucous tract, that in many instnuccs the absence of tho infectious character

APPENDIX 11. TO THE REPORT ON THE

of (hose maladies ilaquo; the only onsily recognised dis�tinction between them and cattle plague. Further, as will bo seen in our description of the symptoms, tho lesions of tho membrano of tho lips, gums, and pharynx are not so constantly met with in cattle plague as to constitute a reliable characteristic of that disease, even if they occurred in no other. In tho early period of the outbreak in England instances were occasionally observed in which a fatal attack of cattle plague left tho membrane of the mouth perfectly free from disease, and during tho latter period of its prevalence similar instances wore also frequent. Dr, Sanderson states that in 70 cases ho only found one in which the peculiar eruption on the gums was absent, and in that instance ho imagines it might have been overlooked. During our observations of many hundred cases, a much larger pcr-centago of animals gave no indication whatever of disease in the lips, gums, or any part of (he buccal membrane. In numerous cases, however, the peculiar eruption, which Dr. Sanderson describes as occurring insid� the lower lip and on the gum, particularly at that part which covers tho necks of the corner incisors, was distinctly observed, but, as he states, in the course of a day or two this condition is generally modified by more extensive and less characteristic lesions, which have been described by the terms quot;cheesy, curdy, or bran-like exudation,quot; quot; swollen or soddened epithelium,quot; quot; excoriated or quot; cracked condition of membrane.quot; These alterations are not always preceded by the peculiar eruption on the gums or lips, and they all occur independently of cattle plague. The evidence resulting from our inquiries, so far from leading us to over-estimate the diagnostic value of the lesions of the mouth, has con�vinced us that of all the symptoms and morbid changes associated with cattle plague they are the most likely to mislead. Alterations in the respiratory movements arc considered by Dr. Sanderson to be very character�istic in cattle plague ; his observation appears to have led him to conclude that the respiration is not accele�rated in cattle plague, but rather lessened in frequency ; he says quot; the statement which has been made by some quot; writers, that in cattle plague the respiratory move-quot; ments are accelerated, is not in accordance with quot; fact, for in every case excepting one the difference quot; between the averages of health and disease lay in the quot; opposite direction.quot; In our observations we have generally found that in cattle plague the breathing is very much quicker than in health, often reaching as high as 60 or 70 in the minute, as against 18 to 25 in the normal condition. A peculiar change also in the rythmical movements of the chest in the latter stages of cattle plague was noticed by Dr. Sanderson, and thus described in his report:

quot;Thus the rhythm of the respiratory movements is quot; completely altered. The pause instead of occuring quot; between each expiration and the succeeding inspira-quot; tion, that is when the breathing apparatus is in a quot; state of relaxation, occurs when the chest is quot; expanded, or, more accurately speaking, in tho quot; middle of the expiratory act.quot;

No more correct or graphic description of tho movements of the chest in the last stage of cattle plague could be written ; but the value of the observa�tion in relation to diagnosis of cattle plague is but little, owing to the fact that the peculiar movement of the chest only occurs when the disease has considerably advanced, and for the still more cogent reason that pre�cisely identical phenomena have been observed by us in many cases of plcuro-pncumonia and gastro-cnteritis.

A peculiar sound which accompanies respiration in an animal dying of cattle plague is thus described :

quot; The chest dilates suddenly, but apparently with quot; considerable cfT'ort, in consequence, I believe, of tho quot; unnatural permanent expansion of the lungs due to quot; obstructed expiration. This inspiratory movement quot; is immediately followed by closure of the glottis, quot; the expiratory muscles being at the same time quot; thrown into violent action. Tho closure of tho quot; glottis is always attended with a sound (such as quot; might bo produced by the sudden closure of a laquo;oft

quot; leather valve) so loud that it can bo hoard at a quot; considerable distance.quot;

Tho sound thus described has not boon heard in any disease of cattle excepting tho plague, but it doos not always occur, or more correctly is not always dotoctod, even when tho diseased animal is allowed to die instead of being slaughtered. During the early part of tho period of tho prevalence of plague, the peculiar chink was often heard on entering a shod, and was always received as an indication of some unfortunate animal being at its last gasp.

Dr. Murchison's observations had reference to the relation between cattle plague and human diseases. The term quot;typhus contagieuxquot; as applied to the malady by the French, doubtless led many people to associate it with typhus and typhoid fever. With no better reason it was at various times compared with human small-pox, cholera, erysipelas, and scarlatina. At a later period it was assumed to bo a malignant form of quot;mouth and foot disease,quot; by some pathologists, and by others malignant cow-pox.

Dr. Murchison points out the differences which separate cattle plague from all the diseases of the human subject; and it may be said in reference to its analogy with diseases of cattle, that while many of its symptoms and morbid appearances are observed in other affections, it is distinguished from those diseases by the rapidity of its spread and the remark�able fatality which attends its progress. Among the so-called blood diseases of cattle there are maladies which resemble cattle plague so closely as to be easily mistaken for it, but the absence in them of the infec�tious character is in itself sufficiently distinctive.

Dr. Bristowe records tho results of careful dissec�tions of 46 animals affected with cattle plague : of this number there were 35 bovine animals, eight sheep, two goats, and one deer. In the course of the investiga�tion all the morbid changes of structure induced by the disease at various periods of its progress are indi�cated. Subsequent investigation has not resulted in the discovery of other lesions than those which Dr. Bristowe describes in cattle; but in reference to sheep affected with plague we have very frequently observed more extensive alterations of structure than those which Dr. Bristowe found in the few animals he dissected. The peculiar disease of the lips, gums, and fauces, upon the absence of which he remarks, has often been observed as distinctly marked in sheep as in the worst cases of plague among cattle.

The chemical investigation which was undertaken by Dr. Marcet included comparative analyses of the blood, muscular tissue, urine, milk, and bile; his con�clusions are as follows :�

Blnod. In the first stages of cattle plague the quantity of water is slightly increased, in the second and last stage it is considerably diminished.

The proportion of fibrin is invariably higher in animals affected with plague than in healthy subjects.

Mineral constituents maintain the normal pro�portions.

Muscular tissue. The flesh of cattle affected with plague contains more soluble albumen than healthy flesh. The albumen is more slowly diffused through diseased than through healthy flesh.

Urine. Tho principal points established by the examination of urine are, the decrease in the total quantity voided during the progress of tho disease as compared with the quantity in health, and the excess of urea, which is observed even before the rise of temperature, and the presence of albumen, which invariably exists at some period during tho course of the disease.

Milk. Sudden diminution of quantity, and ulti�mately total suppression of tho secretion of milk, are among the early signs of cattle plague. Analysis proves also that the specific gravity falls as the milk becomes richer in fatty matter. Tho proportion of caseine is but little varied, and the mineral constituents are only slightly reduced in quantity.

Bile. This fluid in animals dead of cattle plague, is found to contain an excess of water, with a larger

tlieso inquiries, it must bo admitted tliat tlioy possess but a limited special value in roforenoe to the patlio-logy of cattlo plague. Sevornl of the conclusions, if not all of them, apply to other diseosos than cattlo plague ; for instance, deficiency of water and excess of ilbrin in the blood, albumen in the urine and excess of urea, diminution of the quantity of milk and excess of fat, watery slate of the bile and increase of the mineral constituents, are conditions which have been demonstrated to exist in several liunnni diseases, and most of them also in different aiibctions of tho lower animals.

Dr. Beale's microscopic rosearches arc perhaps the most important in their practical bearing, It was at least reasonable to expect that by n minute exa�mination of the solids and fluids of diseased cattle some specific characters would bo discovered to aid tho diagnosis, even if the inquiry did not result in the dctoctiou of tho materies morbi of the disease. All the most important tissues and secretions were examined under tho highest power objectives. The blood and capillaries of congested parts, secretions and discharges, contents of stomach and intestines, nniconsmembnuies, brain, spinal cord, liver, kidney, lungs, muscle, and skin were submitted to careful scrutiny, and very im-poi'timt and valuable observations were made. In tho minute capillaries largo masses of germinal matter were detected, and in tho blood similar masses re�sembling tho white corpuscles were foinul. Tho red discs wore sometimes sbrunkeu and often stellate, in form, but presented no special characters in many instances. Masses of germinal matter were also found in tho milk, and in the mucous secretion from the eyes, nose, mouth, and vagina; some of them showing very distinct vital movements.

The nervous tissues were not observed to have undergone any important alterations.

In tho muscular tissue, masses of germinal matter were found, aud also bodies of a worm-like character, which are well known as Eaincy's corpuscles or psorosperms. These bodies were carefully investigated by Dr. Bealo, and their minute structure, is elaborately described in his report.

Changes occurring in tho organic molecules of mucus, pus, vaccine, and ovine-variolons lymph wore exa�mined with tho intent to ascertain whether tho actual germ of infection, or as Dr. Ueido proposes to term it the conta.gium, might be associated with any particular particles. The result of this part of the inquiry is stated in the following quotation from page 152 of the third report of tho Cattle Plague Commissioners:�

quot; Without pretending to be able to identify the quot; actual materies morbi of cattle plngne, or to dis-quot; tinguish it absolutely from other forms of germinal quot; matter presented in tho fluids, on the different quot; free surfaces, and in the tissues in such vast num-quot; bora, I think the facts and arguments advanced quot; in this paper tend to prove ; first, that it is germinal quot; matter; secondly, that the particles are not de-quot; scended from any form of germinal matter of the quot;' organism of the infected animal, but that they have quot; resulted from the multiplication of particles intro-quot; duced from without; thirdly, that, it is capable, of quot; growing and multiplying in the blood ; fourthly, quot; that the particles are so minute that they readily quot; pass through the walls of tho capillaries and quot; multiply freely in tho interstices between the tissue quot; elements or epithelial cells ; and lastly, that, these quot; particles are capable of living under many different quot; conditions, that they live and grow at. the expense quot; of many tissue elements, and retain their vitality quot; altliougli the germinal matter of tho normal textures quot; after growing and multiplying to n great extent quot; has ceased to exist.quot;

Dr. Angus Smith conducted an ohiborate series of experiments upon the action of disinl'ectanls, anil Mr. W. Crookes tested tho elliieacy of certain agents in infected localities, Tho result of their observations was to estnblisli the prophylactic and disinfectant properties of carbolio ncid and sulphurous acid gas.

Experiments were also made upon animals affected with the plngne for the purpose of testing the theni-poutio action of carbolic acid, by injecting a solution of the pure acid of various degrees of potency Into the veins, hut without any satisfactory offoct. It was found that by careful manipulation as much as six ounces of solution of pure carbolic acid, containing 105 grains of acid, could be injected at once without causing a fatal result, or even the manifestation of alarming symptoms.

Reports on the treatment of cattle plague were received by the Commission from Professor Varnoll and Assistant Professor Pritehard, and also from the Kdiuburgh Cattle Plague Committee. Of the numerous plans of treatment which were tested, none succeeded in curing the disease.

Having before us the several valuable reports on cattle plague which have been issued by tho Cattlo Plague Commissioners; by Dr. Smart and tho Edin�burgh committee, and also by the Norfolk cattlo plngne committee, it did not appear to ns desirable to enter into a detailed account of the symptoms and morbid appearances of cattle plague as observed by different investigators, but rather to avoid a course which would involve unnecessary repetition of much that has already appeared in print, and to confine our observations mainly to a record of our own experience.

Inquiries which were ordered by the Lords of the Council at various times during the progress of the disease, led to the discovery of many important facts relating to tbe indications of cattle plague as compared with those, of other diseases ; and in order to give duo prominence to this important section of the subject, the, illustrations which are attached to this report were for tho most part drawn from morbid parts of animals affected with other diseases. An examination of the drawings will show how very exact is the resemblance of the lesions depicted, to those which were once deemed to belong exclusively to cattle plague.

The Nature of Cattle Plague Virus {Contagiiun).

Contagious diseases are distinguished from ordinary maladies by their mysterious origin and peculiar mode, of propagation. Common diseases arise in an in�telligible manner from the operation of generally recognizable causes, and the effects do not extend beyond the individual organism; but an infectious disease is not produced by common causes, and it extends from the infected animal to others in its vicinity, independently of ordinary circumstances. Ko extremity of hardship or privation is capable of producing cattle plague or sheep-pox. Exposure and want may destroy life or occasion extreme debility, but they are incapable of causing the formation of the specific, poison which exists in either of these or other spocilic diseases.

It is a known peculiarity of the poison of infection that it undergoes rapid development; instance tho disease, of small-pox, which is distinguished by an early eruption of papulae or pimples, which soon become filled with a limpid fluid, the virus of the malady. A minute portion of this virus introduced into the system of a healthy susceptible animal occasions the production of a quantity of similar virus mnuy thousand times greater than the original particle winch was employed in the process of inoculation.

This characteristic belongs to some extent to all infectious maladies, and the excretion of the poison from a mucous surface, or from a part of (lie body having an enumctory office, is often a special feature of tho disease, such is the eruption of sunll pox, the

discuses the activity or the poison is voiy romoi'kablo, while in othoi'8 it in not developed except under favourable conditions. The oontagitem of pleuro-pneumonia is frequently only oommunioated to a few susceptible nniimils of a herd, although instances now and then occur of its rapid extension through an extensive district. Experiments upon the introduction of the exuded llnid into (lie body of ahonltliy subject have hitherto i'uilud to induce the disease ; while in respect of cattle plague the infecting poison is so much the more virulent or subtle in its intluence, that every part of the organism of a plaguo-diseased animal will convey with almost equal certainty the infection into the system or n healthy beast. Beyond the discovery of this fact, however, investigation lins not tended to elucidate tlio obscurity in which the subject lias always been shrouded.

Various theories have at different times been advanced to account for the existence of the property of infection. One method of explanation assumes the growth of now infecting material consequent upon the introduction of a particle of the virus; just as in the process of yeast fermentation, there is the development of a large quantity of ferment from tho small amount which is employed to sot up fermenta�tive action ; but there is no valid reason to couclmlo that there occurs in tho animal organism an action at all similar to that which can bo demonstrated in the instance of yeast fermentation.

This theory was advanced by Liobigmany years ago in very positive terms ; indeed ho asserted that tho changes which occur may be compared to those which take place in the manufacture of beer : the blood would thus represents the sweet wort, and the infecting mate�rial tho yeast, and the morbid products tho results of iho fermentative action. It is not probable that a chemist so distinguished intended to convey tho idea that tho blood actually undergoes fermentation, because he must have been perfectly aware that no such action occurs ; but it is undoubtedly true that his words have been literally accepted, and during the prevalence of cat lie plague in England, certain remedies, such as the sulphite and hyposulphite of soda were recom�mended on the principle that as an infectious disease, the plague was associated with fermentation of the blood, and that these agents were anti-ferments.

The theory of the material nature of the amttir/ium although supported to some extent, by the results of Dr. Bealo's microscopic researches, is inconsistent with facts recently observed in the microscopic exami�nation of tho morbid products of other diseases.

Careful examination of the blood and the various morbid secretions of animals affected with cattle plague, has shown the existence of small masses of germinal matter in which the power of originating disease lt;if a like kind has been presumed to reside. Similar masses, however, have been found in the accretions of cattle that have died from non-contagions affections, as tho example of exudation matter in fig, 2, plate 5, will illustrate.

It does not, therefore, seem desirable under such cir�cumstances, to assume the presence of an infecting germ, which is not capable of demonstration. Indeed our present knowledge of tho subject docs not fairly permit of anything more exact being given as a defini�tion of infection than, that it is a property, possessed by (be (luids and tissues of an animal affected with a certain disease!, which is capable of producing n similar disease by being introduced into (he organism of another animal.

After the effects of the poison upon the organism have ceased, it is seldom that a second infection occurs. The susceptibility to the action of that one specific influence! appears to bo exhausted, and in the course! of an ordinary life not likely to recur. Poisons of Other infectious diseases, however, will act quite as readily upon the system of the aiiiinal after its recovery. Thus an animal, recovered from cattle plague, is as much as before predisposed to quot; mouth

and foot complaint,quot; or pleuro-piieumonia ; but may bo exposed to the poison of cattle plague in any and every way without danger : indeed considerable quantities of the virus may be introduced directly into the circulation, and yet no spociflo ell'eets will follow. Certain degrees of affinities cluiraeteriso the poisons of infectious diseases; for example, tho virus of quot;mouth and foot diseasequot; will act upon the system of oxen, sheep, pigs, and oven gallinaceous poultry. Contagious plenro-pnemnoiiia is confined to the ox, while the cattle-plaguo poison would seem to bo active upon nil ruminants, although quite inert when introduced into the organism of animals of another order. These facts are interesting, and in practice very important, hut they do not assist in clearing up the dilliculties, which are probably only to bo satisfac�torily met by multiplied and niinuto investigations.

Means of communicating the Infection.

Whatever method of explanation may be accepted in reference to the essential nature of the contagiuin of cattle plague, the question wliicli most requires solution is, by what channels and under what circumstances does its intluence extend with the greatest rapidity ? No doubt exists as to the eomiminicahility of cattle plague by the means of direct contact between diseased and healthy cattle, but much speculation has been indulged in concerning the extent to which the infection may bo carried by indirect means, and especially as to tho power of prevailing winds to convey the virus to a distance. Outbreaks of cattle plague occurring in places which were distant from any centre of infec�tion were not unfrequent during the existence of the disease in Great Britain, and they were generally attributed either to atmospheric influence or accepted as evidence of the spontaneous origin of the disease. Many of them were doubtless of a kind to give some sanction to the popular idea that cattle plague infec�tion was capable of being conveyed by tho atmo�sphere. The most notable example recorded is the one in Abcrdeenshire, whore the disease is said to have overleaped a distance of 20 miles.

Numerous instances occurred in which tho cattle plague infection passed over several farms and at�tacked the stock on one at a distance. Singularly enough, that irregularity of distribution, which was looked upon as evidence of the transmission of infec�tion by the atmosphere, indicated to the pathologist rather the conveyance of tho poison by a voluntary agent, who, unlike the atmosphere, would be bound by no law compelling equable diffusion, but would pass from one point to another as circumstances might require.

Sometimes the disease has been known to extend from farm to farm': always on one side of tho road, the opposite homesteads remaining entirely free from infection. This circumstance has also been adduced as evidence of the conveyance of the poison by the atmosphere, but it is difficult to imagine such a partial extension of a contagious disease by atmospheric agency alone. If the poison of cattle plague were conveyed by the air, it would in all probability be generally distributed through a district, and not confined to a particular line or concentrated at in�tervals upon the cattle of certain localities, while those in the immediate vicinity were left untouched. Undoubtedly many instances occurred in which it was impossible to trace (he sources of infection, and in such cases nothing was more easy to assume, and at the same time diflicult.to disprove, than the influence of the atmosphere. If, however, it be remembered that cattle have frequently escaped entirely, or for a considerable period, when effectually separated only by a few yards from diseased beasts, and, on tho other hand, that the contagion of cattle plague has certainly been carried many miles by individuals and animals not themselves the subjects of the disease, it scorns at least as reasonable to spceuliito upon the unnoticed visits of persons or animnls from an infected district in explanation of the cause of n new outbreak, as upon tho more mysterious influence of a wind, which, if

Even admitting that tiio gaseous exhalations from the luiiffs and skin of diseased nnimals possess infecting power, it is most unlikely that thoy would retain their activity unimpnired by a largo adniixtiirc of atmosphero, so that unless n healthy beast were sniliciently near to receive the gaseous emanations directly from the body of u diseased one, the danger of infection by volatile particles of virus is not very imininont.

In our own experience animals have oftimos been kept in security within sixty yards of cattlo affected with the plague. On tho other hand, no extent of distance is sufficient to protect cattle from infection if communication is permitted with any place where tho plague is prevalent.

Among many instances of the sudden outbreak of cattle plague in isolated localities, one that came under observation during an inquiry in Lincolnsliiro deserves to ho recorded. While visiting an infected locality in company with the inspector, a report was received of the sudden illness of a heifer at a place some miles distant. Tho premises were approached by a road on the top of a bank by the side of a canal; the way was passable only to persons on foot; the cottage or small farm-house stood alone, and at some considerable distance from any other habitation.

So entirely isolated in every respect was the place, that it was scarcely possible to believe that the infection of cattle plague could have been carried to it. It was soon, however, discovered that the disease really did exist. Not only was the one sus�pected animal plague stricken, but two others also presented the usual symptoms of the malady. In the course of tho inquiries �which were made, it was ascer�tained that a friend of the owner living some few miles away, and who had cattlo plague among his own stock, had made several visits to the place in order to find out how the stock were getting on, and had even examined tho mouths of the animals for tho purpose of seeing whether any of the signs which he bad noticed among bis own cattle were present.

Had it not been for this timely discovery of the facts, the case would have boon quoted as an addi�tional cvideuco of tbo communication of infection by means of the atmosphere or perhaps of its spontaneous origin. It is not, liowever, to be supposed that such evidence of tbo immediate conveyance of infection can always be obtained.

Comparatively fowinstancoshave been investigated in which it was found that the disease had been introduced by an infected animal. In the majority of cases the outbreak occurred quite independently of newly pur�chased stock. This circumstance, as it elsewhere slated in this report, was especially remarked in reference to the progress of the disease in the London cow sheds shortly after its original introduction into the Metropolis. Throughout the country also the general conclusion to bo drawn from the history of a large number of the outbreaks, is that cattle plague was more frequently introduced by indirect agency than by the immediate and direct influence of infected boasts. The precise degree of risk which is incurred from indirect contact, as compared with direct association with diseased cattle, is difficult to deter�mine; nor is it of any great practical importance that tho question should be definitely answered.

Certain favoured spots in the midst of the infection escaped altogether j and with very few exccplions it was found on inquiry that these premises were so situated ns to be altogether out of the lino of cattle

transit, or that there wcro few, or no inducomonts for persons to visit them. Other premises were by their owners placed in a state of siege, and rendered praeticnlly inaccessible to nmnor beast. On a position thus protected, and upon cattle so isolated, the at�mosphere exercised no deleterious etfocts, and in respoot to them, prevailing winds were hurmless. In many instances certain medicumouts which were presumed to possess prophylactic properties, or disin�fecting agents of asserted ellleacy, were employed in conjunction with a systom of strict isolation. Where this combined method was adopted, it was usual to ascribe the escape of the cattle to tho influence of the chemical agent. Prophylactics and disinfectants have, however, generally failed when the animals have been positively exposed to infection, and they are obviously unnecessary when exposure does not occur.

The direct introduction of a cattle plague infected animal iutoaherd is doubtless the most certain method of propagating the disease; but numerous experiments have proved that the plague can be communicated by the secretions and excretions of a diseased animal ; and also by hides, horns, hoofs, flesh, and it may probably be safely added, by all parts of the organism, No matter how these parts may bo brought in contact with a healthy animal, the result will be the same, so long as the virus retains its activity.

Against the theory of the communication of cattle plague by indirect menus, it has sometimes been urged that persons who owned two herds which were placed some miles apart, and in one of which an outbreak of cattle plague had occurred, passed regularly from one herd to the other without communicating tho disease. But it must ho admitted that it is possible to pass from premises where diseased cattle are kept to others where they are healthy without coming into close contact with the animals in either case ; and, so far as our personal observation extended, the owners of infected herds did not seem to be inclined, whatever their views of infection might be, to run any unnecessary risk by going among their healthy stock after attending upon or handling those which were known to be the subjects of plague.

Without questioning tho subtle nature of the poison of cattle plague, or the extreme facility with which it may be carried to localities widely distant from each other, experience justifies tbo assertion that, in every instance, contamination is the consequenco of some absolute and gross contact with tho virus of tho disease usually unconnected with the atmosphere, which would only he likely to carry it for a very short distance, and then only under peculiar circum�stances, such as the continued prevalence of a very light breeze blowing in the same direction.

Jⁱe.riod at which the Contxujimn is developed.

A very important question occurs as to the danger of the plague being communicated by an infected animal during the incubative stage of the (..sense. Experiments made with the blood of an animal shortly after inoculation proved that tbo poison of the malady was generally diffused long before symptoms of the disease were outwardly apparent. In Dr. San�derson's experiments, the serum of an animal 48 hours after inoculation was found capable of conveying the disease to a healthy animal. Judging, however, from numerous observations, tho risk of the spread of infection at this early period in any less direct manner is very slight. In numerous instances in which infected cattle were removed from a herd, immediately that the least departure from health was observed, the further progress of tho plague was stayed.

Without attempting to define the exact time when infected cattle become capable of transmitting tbo plague to others with which they may come in contact, it may bo reasonably assumed that thoro is little danger of the spread of the disease by ordinary means before the stage of incubation has passed and tho infected beasts show sonic signs of the disoaso.

Period oj' Iticubatioii of Cattle Playiw.

The determination of the time which ordinarily elapses aller infootion before there is any outward sign of disdirlmuc #9632;. is essentinl ti the solution of many quostiona of sauitnry poliue, jurisprudonco, iiygieno and medicine. Considerable difference of opinion seems to prevail among observers in respect to the time of incubation, which should, however, be a matter easily definable by reference to experience. It is not improbable that a great deal of the want of unanimity which prevails is duo to different accepta�tions of the mcaning'of the term incubation as applied to a latent disease.

Before it can bo decided what time elapses between the introduction of the virus of a contagious disease and the outward manifestation of the malady, it must be determined what kind and amount of evidence is necessary to constitute the proof of the existence of the malady in relation to which the question arises.

The term incubation, as applied to an infectious disease, is popuhirly understood to mean the time during which the poison remains in a dormant con�dition, and the period is presumed to cease when the animal or individual begins to sicken. In reference to cattle plague an attempt has been made to \ipset this simple and common-sense view of the meaning of the term, and to establish a more exact interpretation. Thus, instead of accepting the appearance of ordinary signs of ill-health as the evidence of the termination of the incubative stage, it lias been suggested that the first indication of the existence of foreign matter with the organism, viz., the elevation of temperature of the body, should mark the cessation of the period. Such a view docs not, however, appear to possess any advantages ; and, so far from giving a more definite meaning to the term, it destroys what little distinctness it possessed before, inasmuch as it makes the determination of the time of incubation to depend upon tact and skill in manipulation, and even to a greater degree upon tbe delicacy of philosophical instruments, which are constantly undergoing improve�ments ; so that if this principle be accepted, it may ultimately he demonstrated that there is no such thing as a period of incubation at all, but that immediately on the introduction of contagium into the organism, indi�cations of disease will be recognisable. The term, if retained at all, is better left with its ordinary signifi�cation, and therefore its use in this report is to be understood as conveying the popular meaning, namely, the time which elapses between the introduction of the virus and the occurrence of illness.

With few exceptions, and those of a doubtful cha�racter, the period of incubation of cattle plague may be fixed at seven days ; that is to say, an animal suc�cessfully inoculated with the infectious matter will be tbe subject of plague at the end of a week. In several cases, signs of ill health have appeared on the fifth day ; but, making allowances for differences in strength of constitution and degree of susceptibility, an average period of seven days may be accepted as practically the time which intervenes between the date of infection anil the manifestation of positive signs of disease.

Tbe period of incubation is undoubtedly in some cases shorter when animals are infected by inoculation than when they take the disease as the result of exposure to the contagium within a cow-shed, or in consequence of direct contact with a diseased beast. It is, however, dillicult to ascertain the. precise moment of infection when the disease is conveyed otherwise than by inoculation ; hence, in the estimation of different observers, the duration of the incubative stage will vary from (gt; days to 21 days.

Opinions are. sometimes formed, it would appear, on very insufficient evidence ; as, for example) it has been alleged that the disease has appeared in a herd two days after the iutmluctiuu of an infected animal,

while in other cases it has been asserted that the rest of the cattle have remained healthy for fully three weeks after the death of the last animal attuckod. [n the first of these eases it is obvious thnt the infection could not bo the result of the assumed cause, but rather of some unsuspected induenco of previous existence. In the second case ulso it is probable that some other cause would have been diseovorcd had a strict enquiry been instituted ; that the outbreak in fact which subsequently occurred and destroyed the remainder of the herd was due to a communication of the infection in some indirect manner; probably not more than seven or eight days before the symptoms of disease were detected.

Varying Susceptibility.

The period of incubation will appear to vary con�siderably in different instances, if the date of the outbreak be assumed to be the date of infection of all the cattle which were associated together at the time, and which afterwards at intervals become affected. It generally happens, for instance, in a cow-shed that one or two animals are first observed to be affected with plague, while 30 or 40 remain apparently healthy ; and that on the following day these cases are added to by perhaps four or five fresh attacks. Day by day more of the animals become sick, the number generally increasing as the disease goes on, until by the end of a fortnight the plague has extended to every one of the cattle exposed to the infection. It would not on this account be correct to assert that the animals attacked on the last day must have had the virus lying dormant in their systems for fourteen days, because the first one. was noticed to bo ill a fortnight previously. On the contrary it must be admitted that the infection was communicated to the first animal the week before she was attacked, and probably at the same time to some others in the shed which, however, did not give evidence of disease quite so soon ; and that from these animals the poison was afterwards conveyed in various ways to the remainder of the cattle until all were infected. During the progress of disease through a herd, it lias been remarked that when a number of animals are standing together in the same building, they are not attacked in rotation. Sometimes those #9632;which are in contact with a diseased beast will quickly give evidence of being infected, but more usually the animals next attacked will be found to havo been standing at some distance; often at the other end of the shod.

The examination of a large number of cattle by means of the thermometer, on premises where the disease had recently appeared, always resulted in the detection of infected cattle in various parts of the building. Sometimes four or five infected animals would be found standing together; the next lot of eight or ten would only contain one infected animal, and in a third lot there would probably be found two or three affected with the disease in different stages. This irregularity is probably duo in some degree to the different modes of infection, but it also depends on the different degrees of susceptibility in the individual animals. In instances where animals iiave escaped for a long time after exposure to infection, it is often impossible to determine whether the immunity is owing to the fact of their not having come in contact with the virus, or to the absence of suscep�tibility to its action. Such cases, however, have been very few in reality, although, if reports were to bo accepted as always authentic, they would appear to have been very numerous.

The most remarkable case of the kind which was investigated occurred during the progress of tho disease in tho Metropolis in 18�5. The details will servo to illustrate the precise value of tho evidence which is obtainable in most instances.

A dairyman in the N. W. district had four cow*, which were kept in a shed constructed under a railway arch. On August 2nd one animal was said to be attacked with plague, and was destroyed j tho other

tliroc romiunod healthy until August 20tli, when a no(^oii(l ono gave cvidonco of boiiij^- affected, ami waa uIho killed. On September 7tli tho third animal wan attacked, and the remaining animal was then slaughtered healthy. No other animals hod been in the sheil for nino months, and as far as could be asccrtaiiu'.il tho infection miiKt have been conveyed to the lirst animal in some indirect manner. In what way it was con�voyed to the other cows there was also no evidence to show.

The particulars of tho case mo given as they wore stated by tho owner, and in reasoning upon them it imist be remembered that they are supported by evidence as good as is usually offered in substantiation of similar statements. The only fact that can be actually vouched for is that one of the two cows in the shed was affected with plague on September 9th, I860, the dato of our first inspection.

There was, however, no reason to doubt that tho owner originally possessed four cows, and that two of them were got rid of in consequence of some disease on August 2nd and August 20tli, and there was a strong probability that the disease which affected the two eows was the same which attacked tho third animal. A doubt may still remain as to the date on which the contagion had entered the system, hut if tho statements made convey the precise truth of the case, the period of incubation in tho two last cases must have been respectively 18 days. It is, however, quite possible that, assuming tho lirst cow to have been the subject of plague, the early removal of tho diseased animal prevented tho extension of the malady, and that the second cow was infected in the same manner as the first one, by indirect agency. A. similar thing might also have happened with tho third animal.

A few well-authontieated instances of the escape of a number of cows after ono or two of tho herd had shown symptoms of plague have been observed, hut in every case tho diseased animals were removed immediately that the slightest symptom of ill health was noticed; and being kept in a secure place, the development of tho disease was subsequently watched, so that no doubt should exist as to tho nature of the malady. J5y far the majority of reported single attacks, and the escape of the remainder of the herd, were, however, found upon inquiry not to bo cases of cattle plague, although bearing a close resemblance to it.

Indeed, it may be. affirmed as the result of lonj; personal observation, that in no instance where an attack of cattle plague has occurred in a herd have more than five or six days elapsed without other cases taking place, and that under all circumstances, when animals are associated together, the attacks have been found to increase numerically day by duy, until all those exposed to the infection have suc�cumbed to tho disease. Notwithstanding exceptional instances of a prolonged incubative stage of the plague, it may bo taken as a general truth that if ten days elapse, after an outbreak of disease having tho ap�pearance of tho plague, without tho occurrence of fresh attacks in the herd, the malady is not cattle plague.

Among English breeds of cattle little, or no difference exists in the degree of susceptibility to the infiuenco of the cattle plague, oontagium, nor in tho fatality of the disease. Dutch cattle, on the contrary, bear up better against the malignancy of the plague, anil appear rather less susceptible to the cotdagium,

Insusceptihiliti/.

A very important question presents itself for con�sideration in reference to the complete insusceplibility

of some cattle to tho action of cattlo-plaguo virus. That there have been instances of cattle remaining unaffected in tho midst of the disease is beyond doubt. In our experience two cows remained healthy in a shed of GO, among which the plague broke out in July 18�5, and all of which, excepting tho two in question, died or were killed, In 18()(i the same two cows stood through another visitation of the plague, which affected tho fresh stock brought into tho same promises. Several other instances of animals escaping when In close proximity to the disease have been met with.

A remarkable case in point occurred at tho Royal Veterinary College. A Welsh heifer, which had been kept on the premises for many months prior to the appearance of cattle plague in the country, was, towards tho latter part of July 18G�, exposed to tho infection by being placed within a few yards of a plague-stricken animal. No ill effects followed either at that time or on several subsequent occasions when cattle, suffering from tho plague, were brought into sheds next to the open one she occupied.

On October 20th this heifer was inoculated with virus taken from the nostrils of a cow, tho subject of tho plague, but without effect. Further exposures to infection followed, and on November 14th she was re-inoculated, the virus being taken from a most severe case of plague, and again without effect.

Steppe-cattle have been reported as not iiufrc-quently showing an equal amount of immunity, and tho same thing has been said of several other foreign breeds of cattle. With regard to the frequent, escape of Steppe-cattle, somo facts have come under our observation which may possibly explain the circum�stance. It is admitted that more Steppe-cattle re�cover from the plague than of any other breed, and, doubtless, many of those which so recover are preg�nant females. Our experience has shown that the calf in utero takes the infection from its dam, and is not always destroyed by it. Indeed, many calves and lambs were born the subjects of the plague, in cases where their dams were attacked on the eve of partu�rition, thereby proving tho hereditary transmission of tho malady. Pregnant eows and ewes often aborted when suffering from the plague, but many exceptions to the rule occurred, and at all periods of preg�nancy. Thus, on tho supposition that in-calf Steppe-cows not unfrcquently recover-, it will bo seen that their offspring are insusceptible to the infection of the plague. One case was brought under our notice by M. Priestman, which is quite to the point. A cow was attacked with the plague in the fifth month of pregnancy, and recovered. Her calf in due time was brought forth alive, and when only a few weeks old was exposed to the infection of the plague, but without any ill consequences resulting, Subsequently wo had an opportunity of seeing this animal enjoying perfect health, although herded at the time with other calves in all stages of the plague.

That cattle which have had the plague are not suscep�tible to a second attack, even though a considerable quantity of the virus bo introduced intentionally into their systems, Is generally admitted. The truth of this position has been Cully substantiated In our experience. Indeed, in no single instance have we known an animal to bo the subject of a second attack, although In numerous cases we have seen them exposed to the influence of the infection, and have purposely inocu�lated them with the virus in order to make the tost more severe.

As elsewhere shown, it. is not improbable that, this insusceptibility may continue throughout the animals' life, but whether so or not we have had no means of ascertainine.

APPENDIX II. TO THE REPORT ON THE

Symptoms of Cattle Plao�e.

Early dotoot ion of tlio cxistonco of cnttlc plague is of llii! highest iiu])�rtiiiico, whothor it bo considcroil in rolu-tion to the omploymont of remedieB, or to the adoption of means to niTost tho furthei' progross of the malady. The immediate removal of the animals which first show sij;nlaquo; of lieiiifr infected, linn in sevoral iustanoes, us previously stated, prevented tlio extension of the disease to tlio rest of tlio herd, and for this reason alone it is desirable that cattle which are suspected to have been exposed to infection, and ovon those which are placed in a position of danger, should be carefully watched, in order that the slislit-cst indica�tions of disease may be discovered directly upon their appearance. During the, prevalence of cattle plague in a district, it is not only allowable, but absolutely necessary, to accept any sign of deviation from health as a Symptom of the advent of tho plague, and to proceed at once to isolate the suspected boast; but there is a very obvious distinction to bo drawn be�tween the manifestation of symptoms of deranged health, which may be due to the action of ordinary causes, and the appearance of phenomena specially characteristic of a specific malady only. At first the signs of cattle plague were considered to bo so distinctive in their character, that it was commonly asserted the disease could not bo confounded with nay other to which cattle are liable. Certain peculiarities of gait, tho expression of the countenance, a trifling change in the usual habits, wore allegod by practical men to be specialities of the disease, easily and with certainty recognizable by those who wore accustomed to the animals. More extended experience, however, proved tho fallacy of depending upon such indications, which, although generally indicative of ill-healtli, and of much significance when tho cattle plague is within a short distance of the place, possess little or no value as aids to correct diagnosis.

Increase of internal heat.�One of the first, if not the earliest symptom of infection is a rise of the internal temperature to the extent of two to six degrees of the thermometer. Dr. Arthur Gamgoe first called attention to this fact in England, and ex�periments subsequently made by Professor John Gamgee, Dr. Sanderson, Dr. Thudicum, and others, wore confirmatory of its truth. Our own observa�tions, however, do not enable us to attach any special importance to an elevation of internal temperature as a diagnostic symptom of cattle plague. It is undeniably true that, when infection is known to exist in n, herd, the use of tho thermometer will enable a veterinary surgeon to select with certainty all the animals which have been infected more than two days; and hence in large establishments, where many cattle are collected together, the instrument will bo of the greatest assistance in indicating the cattle which should be removed. Every animal found to have tho tempera�ture elevated to 104deg; may be looked upon as an in�fected beast, and dealt with accordingly. It is also true that infected cattle with a temperature of 104^g to 107deg; will offen give only slight, if any, indications of illness : but it is very rarely the case that the animals will maintain in every particular their usual appearance when the temperature has risen to any material extent above the normal standard, which may be taken as 102deg;. Occasionally it has happened that the herdsman has pointed out an animal which ho considered to bo quot; amiss,quot; but which gave no evidence of being infected, by rise of temperature, until tho following day.

When the symptoms of cattle plague arc fully developed the temperature will frequently ho found to have fallen to its natural standard. In respect of two animals apparently In the same condition of disease, the thermometer will record in one a temperature of 101deg;, and in the other 106deg;, and during tho course of tho disease through its several stages tho tempcrnturo will fall and rise many times in each. A sudden fall of several degrees generally indicates an approaching fatal termination, but not always so, as our note book contains the records of

cases in which tho temperaturo has fallen from 10Gdeg; to 98deg;, and has again risen to 104deg; in the course of 48 hours ; tho animal ultimately recovering.

The principal nrgnmont against tho aeoeptanco of the ovidenee afforded by the thermometer as specially indicative of the early stage of cattle plague, is found in the fact that exactly similar results have boon obtained in investigations of pleuro-piieuinonia and other diseases. If cattle plague has broken out in a shed of 40 or 50 cows, perhaps at tho time of inspection five or six animals may bo found with the disease in a more or loss advanced stage ; and probably if the re�mainder bo examined by means of the thennomotcr, in eight or ton of them a temperature of 104deg; to 107deg; will be indicated. If instead of cattle plague, an outbreak of pleuro-pncumoma has occurred, the examination will bo attended with nearly identical results. In the notes of a recent outbreak of this disease in tho Metropolis tho following remarks occur in reference to a number of cows on premises belonging to a dairyman in the north of London : quot; There are now six suffering quot; with pleuro-pneumonia ; two are recovering; two quot; are in the first stage of the disease, temperature quot; 105deg;; two are very ill in the last stage, temperature quot; 104deg;; besides these there are several cows in good quot; condition which give evidence of being infected by quot; increase of temperature.quot; These observations would be equally applicable to cattle plague. In many in�stances, however, it has been remarked, after a number of cattle have been examined by the thermometer, that hud the actually diseased animals been removed previously to our inspection, it would have been impossible to decide whether the infected animals, meaning those in which the temperature had risen to 105deg; or 107deg;, had been exposed to the contagitim of cattle plague, or pleuro-pneumonia.

Elevation of temperature likewise marks the early stage of oiher contagious affections, as ovine small�pox, and mouth and foot disease, and of some non-contagious febrile affections, as bronchitis, gastro�enteritis, pneumonia, and other inflammatory diseases of horses, cattle, and sheep.

In cases of splenic apoplexy also a rise of tempera�ture to 107quot; has been observed.

The preceding remarks have not been made with the intention to decry the use of a very important instrument in the hands of the scientific pathologist, but rather to define its precise value. In human medicine the instrument has long been recognized as an indispensable aid to pathological investigations, and wo entertain no doubt that its general employment in diseases of tho lower animals would be productive of the greatest advantages. Our conclusions upon the subject may he thus stated :�

1st. In contagious diseases of animals the thermo-mcter indicates the accession of fever, which is one of the earliest symptoms of infection. It also marks tho variations in tho degree of febrile excitement during the several stages of contagious and non-contagious diseases.

2nd. The results of thermometric experiments in cattle plague, pleuro-pneumonia, mouth and foot, disease and ovine small-pox, are so closely allied as to be practically identical : hence the variation of internal temperature alone, has no diagnostic significance.

Loss of appetite, cessation of rumination, diminu�tion of milk, cold spine and extremities, a dejected aspect, frequent moaning and grinding of the teeth, are symptoms which very quickly follow tho rise of temperature, and sometimes they are its concomitants. There is also a certain restlessness to be often ob�served at the outset of the disease, and it is specially worthy of notice that; the evacuation of froces and urine frequently occurs at short intervals. At this early period of the disease, tho animal will often stand inotlonlesraquo; for a coiiHidcrable time; the appearance llltogetiier, with the depressed head, ears drawn back, and dull looking eyes, being that, of profound and melancholy reflection. In some eases marked cerebral symptoms have also been observed.

Dimmiahed secretion of milk,�Before attention

wua utd'iictcil to tlio tuet of tho intomtil tompera-turo becoming olovfttod booh ul'icr Infection hivd taken plaoo, the oeesation, or marked diminution of ilio Booi'utiou of milk whs looked upon as the earliest indication of tho plague.

Loss of milk, however, cannot be taken as a special sign of cattle plngne, booause a sudden cessation of tho secretion is often observed in pleuro-pneumonla, and a diminution of quantity is a characteristic of nearly every atFcction to which cows are .subject. As lias been remarked in reference to general indications of de�rangement of health when suspicion is aroused, signs which, under ordinary eimimstances, possess little or no signilicanee, become Important, so that if cattle plague is known to prevail in a herd, or there is reason to suspect its advent, loss of milk or any other symptom of deranged health may bo considered indicative of tho commencement of tho disease.

Very much depends upon experience. Tho detec�tion of slight changes in the usual habits of an animal requires a perfect familiarity with it in its normal condition, and long, as well as very close observation is necessary to tho attainment of tho necessary tact of observation. Ill one instance where a number of cows were in a shed in which cattle plague had appeared, the attendant, who had had considerable experience, selected day by day tho next victims before any change in their normal con�dition could bo observed by au unpractised observer. In some cases, the animals that were pointed out by him did not show any symptoms of illness, not even a rise of temperature; but in the course of the next twelve to twenty-four hours, tho elevation of tho Internal heat was noticed, and the man's prognostications were always fulfilled. Precisely similar circumstances have been remarked in out-breaks of pleuro-piicumonia among cows. A.nd it may be stated that, when animals are closely watched by those who are well acquainted with thom, and under whoso constant observation they are placed, signs of a departure from tho usual habits will be apparent at a very early period, and that although those signs are not infallible, or even distinctly suggestive of any particular form of disease, it is at least probable that the ill health which they indicate is due to the affection prevailing at tho time. Different observers will estimate the symptoms which are presented as of more or less importance according to their experience of tho precise significance of the signs exhibited ; but it is necessary to distinguish between ordinary symptoms of systemic derangement and tho special symptoms of cattle plague.

Twitchinc/ of musaks. � One of the earliest in certain instances, and, when present, most decided signs of tho disease may often bo detected hy the examiner while standing near the animal. In the town dairy establishments a peculiar sound caused by the sudden jerking of the neck chain of a particular cow will be heard at intervals, and if the beast is quietly watched it will he seen that she is the subject of occasional spasmodic shakings of the head. The tremor seems to commence at the cars, and thence to rapidly traverse the sides of the neck to behind the shoulders, where it ceases. Mr. Priestman noticed Ibis symptom very early in the outbreak of the plague, and attached great value to it as a distinguishing sign. There is no doubt that in the London cowsheds the peculiar movement of the head and neck was a thing of romarkablc significance, and the sudden rattle of tho cliaiu often directed tho inspector's attention to an infected animal that would otherwise have escaped notice.

Twitching of muscles of the neck and tbrc-quarters occurs in many cases at the early stage of tho disease, in association with tremors of tho hind�quarters and flanks. This latter symptom, howevor, has been inorofre(|uenlly noticed in an advanced stage of the malady, and is (piilo distinct from the peculiar spasmodic jorkings of the head, neck, and. lore-quarterraquo;,

which are clmractoristicof the commencement of cattle plague, and am also, it is believed, exclusively dis�tinctive of tho disease, while tremblings of the hinder parts arc common toother atfections. It is scarcely possible to indicate with precision the chiiracler of the muscular movements which are to be observed in tho early stage of many eases of plague. The symp�tom was noticed in nearly every instance in Galicla in 1857, and it was also seen constantly in the last outbreak of the disease in tho Metropolis in IHG7, and also at different times during the prevalence of cattle plague in various parts of the kingdom.

Subcutaneous emphysema. � Emphysema of tho subcutaneous areolar tissue at the upper part of the shoulders in particular was one of tho most constant phenomena associated with the disease in tho early period of its existence, and it became quite customary when making an examination of a sick animal to apply tho hand to the sides of the withers in order to detect crepitus. In addition to the emphysema, and probably in consequence of tho distention of tho skin of the part, au erect condition of the hair was observed in nearly every case ; but after a few months these symptoms became less frequent, and later on they were seen only in very exceptional eases. Subcutaneous emphysema will sometimes ex�tend over the entire body, producing extraordinary distortion, and giving to the animal an appearance of enormous bulk of carcase. Emphysema to this extent generally indicates a fatal termination, but in some few instances tho animal has recovered, and the body gradually regained its normal size.

it should be added that, this morbid condition is not peculiar to cattle plague, on the contrary it has been noticed in several non-contagious affec�tions of cattle and horses, and is not an uufrequeut accompaniment of wounds which have penetrated the lungs.

State of the circulation.�The pulse at tho com-mencoment of the attack may be quick, or small and feeble, according to the temperament and condition of tho animal; its frequency varies considerably, that is to say, from 70 to 100 or more beats in the minute. Very often the pulsations are indistinct, and the heart�throbs are unequal, a strong beat being often followed by a weak one. If the term were allowable in reference to tho character of the movements of the heart, the action might be described as hesitating or undecided in its character. It has been justly remarked that more is to be gained from observation of the manner of breathing and the peculiar character of the heart's action than from the mere calculation of the number of the pulsations per minute. Tho presence of a stranger is often sufficient to cause important alterations in the frequency of tho pulse and respiration of a cow, and in practice very little assistance can bo gained from an enumeration of tho beats of the pulse or movements of the Hanks in cattle plague.

State of the respiration.�When cattle plague is fully developed, which may be at any time between tho first and third day after the appearance of tho first indication of infection, tho respiration will be accelerated, but not always to a remarkable degree. The grunting sound which is produced during expiration is not invariably present, nor is tho occurrence of the pause, which, however, is constantly observed in plenro-pneumonia, after the expiration has commenced, Considerable discrepancy appears to exist in the recorded observations on tho frequency of tho respiration in cattle ; and it is improbable that anything like uniformity of opinion will bo attained in reference to a question which is susceptible of various solutions under different circumstances. In tho first place, the standard of healthy respiration is not easily fixed ; the being so often accelerated from causes quite unconnected with disease.

Observations which were made with great care some

years ago upon cattle which were grazing or quietly

ruminating in the field, gave a tolerably uniform result

of 14 to 16 respirations in the minute ; but in town

313

AIU'KNDIX II, TO THE HEl'OKT ON 1'HK

cowsheds where the ammala nro frequently disturbed and are in the habit of showing excitemont on the upproach of persons to whom tliey are uniiccustomcd, tlio respiration Is somowbat quicker. Mr. Priestnmn noted tlio respiration in a grout many cows in the London dairies at different times of tlio day, and found that the variation was from 18 to 27; tlio average being about. 20 per minute.

Similar variation in the number of respirations will bo observed in cattle plague. In cases coming under our notice iu Gnlicia, tliey did not exceed 2� in the minute. Often, however, the rhythm was interfered with by spasmodic action of the abdominal nuiscles.

Alvinc evacuations,�Diurrhoca sets in at various periods ; somcthnes it is ulraost the first prominent symptom, while at others it. does not appear until the animal lias been ill for a day or two. Occasional instances have been met with in which constipation lias existed during the whole period of the contiuuanco of the disease. The evacuations are usually light in colour, but. sometimes nearly black, always foetid, and oflen mingled with mucus and streaked with blood.

Condition of the #9632;mucous membranes,�The state of (ho visible mucous membranes affords valuable evidence. Within tlio vulva the condition of tlio mucous surface is always very churactoristic. At first tbcro is simple congestion ; then the colour of the membrane becomes deeper, and ultimately assumes a mahogany tint. In some instances there is also a well-marked eruption of whitish yellow points of the size of pills' heads, and an abundant secretion of an ad�hesive fluid, white in colour, which is seen to stretch across the vaginal canal in strings when the sides of tho vulva arc separated from each other. This appearance has been pretty constantly remarked in cattle plague, and when perfectly develojied may be looked upon as a very significant, symptom. Tho mucous membrane lining the eyelids is mostly in�jected, and the eyes are unusually dull and often sunken when the plagno is fully established. A discharge of fluid, which may bo either watery or gelatinous, issues from the inner canthus. In some instances this secretion accumulates at the canthus, and forms a semi-transparent mass of a jelly-like character.

An examination of the mouth is always an important part of an investigation, but the indica�tions which are observed should be analysed with the utmost caution. Not. uncommonly the buccal membrane is perfectly healthy, especially in the early stages of tho disease, and in many animals that have died of the affection no alteration in the condition of this part of the organism could be detected. Generally however tho changes which occur are very marked.

During the last outbreak in the metropolis, a record was kept of the state of the gums, lips, tongue, and fauces of animals which died or were killed on account of cattle plague, and it was found that of ninety-three which were carefully examined after death, only twenty-three presented evidence of disease ; tho re�maining seventy were quite free from any morbid condition of these parts. It should be added, however, that most of the animals had been slaughtered in the early stage of the disease ; in fact as soon as the illness was detected.

When tho mouth is implicated a slight increase of colour will be the first change likely to attract attention. The membrane will not bo much reddened or congested at the commencement, except in rare instances, but a general light redness of the surface will be noticed, and on the papilhv, at the sides of tho mouth a few distinct raw spots, caused by the removal of the epithelium nnd the exposure of tho vascular surface beneath, may ho scon. Occasionally, however, we have found tho entire buccal membrane so enormously congested as to be of a perfectly purple hue, even early in the disease.

After a short time the epithelium of the buccal membrane becomes softened and bears a pulpy look. Inside tho lower lip, and especially on tho gums of the corner teeth, there will be often observed minute

olevatod points which are sometimes very numerous, but as they quickly become obscured by more de�structive changes they are not readily detected unless the animal is under daily observation. The swollen state of the buccal membrane becomes more marked, transverse cracks appear inside tho lips, tho whole surface becomes covered with a mixture of loosened epithelium and exudation nitittor, constituting the cheesy or creamy oxudntion (see plates 12 nnd 14), and when the finger or a piece of cloth is passed over tho surface the mass comes away as a whitish film, exposing numerous small and raw patches in the vascular tissues.

Notwithstanding the very definite character of these changes, and their frequent occurrence in cattle plague, they cannot bo accepted now as they onco were as positive proofs of the existence of the disease. Similar appearances have been seen in the mouths of cattle atlbeted with other maladies, and it cannot be denied that an absolute dependeneo upon the morbid changes which relate to the mouth ex�clusively has led to many erroneous conclusions.

Skin eruptions.�Great importance was attached to the appearance, which was very general in many of tho early cases of cattle plague, of small pimples or nodides, which were spoken of as vesicles and pustules, upon the skin of the udder and the inside of the thighs; and the assumption of tho identity of the disease with human small-pox was principally based upon tho existence of this eruption. A cracked and scabby state of tho skin of tho udder, inside the thighs, and in front of the shoulders, was noticed in the majority of tho cases of cattle plague when it first appeared in tho London dairies in July 1865, but after a few months its appearance was much less frequent.

Upon the skin of the udder the eruption was often very marked, and generally much more definite in character than upon those parts of the integument which are thickly covered with hair. Careful exami�nation of tho eruption shewed that it consisted of elevation and thickening of the cuticle, and the exuda�tion of granular matter beneath it, neither true vesicles nor pustules being present.

Eruptions on tho skin of the udder are not un�common among cows, and a condition of this part very much resembling the eruption of cattle plague has been seen in several cases of a disease which proved to he non-contagious. An illustration of this form of eruption upon the udder is given in plate 7, and in this case there were other post�mortem appearances such as are seen in the most rnalignant, form of cattle plague. The disease in the mouth, tongue, and fauces might fairly be called an exaggeration of the lesions of cattle plague, hut the animal was, nevertheless, the only one of a large herd which was attacked, and besides this, repeated inoculation of healthy cattle with the matter of the morbid parts failed to produce in them the same or indeed any disease. When no eruptive condition of skin can be seen upon an examination of the surface, the removal of the hair and cuticle by scalding will often display numerous large red tinted patches on those parts where the eruption would probably take place subsequently. The redness appears to depend upon capillary congestion, and has nothing of a specific character to distinguish it from ordinary congestion of the skin.

From tho preceding observations it will be seen that all the symptoms described as indicative of cattle plague are subject to important variations depending upon peculiarities of constitution or the effects of surgical and medical treatment. Cases have boon met with in which, owing to extreme prostration, produced by the virulence of the attack, or resulting from depletive treatment, as repeated bleedings, tho mucous membranes have boon blanched instead of congested, and the ordinary secretions from the eyes, nostrils, and vagina have been entirely sup�pressed. Tho remarkable effects of blood-letting repeated every two or three hours were exemplified in an especial manner among a herd of cows in

#9632;

Cheuliiro. Nearly all the animals in the quot; shlppon quot; wore more or loss afFocted with plague, and sovoral of tliem wore dying of the disoaso, but the only symptoms present were diarrhoea with extreme pallor of the mucous membranes and great prostration. Indeed all the ordinary signs of oattle plaguo were masked by the niKcmatous state to which the animalraquo; had been brought by exee.ssivo depletion.

Other iustanees of reinarkahle modilieatiou of symptoms in consequence of the adoption of eertain forms of troatmont were also observed in different parts of the kingdom.

The extensive employment of carbolic acid was found to retard the progress of the disease, and in cases where large doses of mineral acids insiiflieiently diluted had been given, the mouth was often found to be perfectly while in colour, while extensive ideeration

reaching from the lips nearly Up to the eyes was present. Sometimes these phenomena were observable in one or two animals which had been submiUted to experimentnl treatment, while In others of the herd the ordinary signs of cattle plague would be. exhibited.

11'only one or two animals are all'eeted, and obscure symptoms should exist in them, (be dillieulty of fonning a correct diagnosis is sometimes considerable ; nevertheless, a careful inquiry into all the circum�stances of the case will generally enable the examiner to rightly determine the matter.

In the concluding port of this report an account is given of some of the most important investigations which were undertaken by direction of the Lords of the Council, for the purpose of dolermining the character of virulent diseases reported as outbreaks of cattie plague.

Post-mortem appearances as ohserved in Cattle affected with Plague.

The post-mortem appearances in animals which have died from cattle plague will vary considerably, de�pending upon the particular part of the organism which has sult'ercd to the greatest extent from the ravages of the disease.

The general diffusion of the virus over (he system necessarily leads to tbo morbid changes being widely distributed, and usually they include the integument, the mucous membranes of the digestive and respi�ratory organs as well us portions of the vascular and nervous systems. In the digestive and respiratory organs, however, the changes are most marked, and it has been very generally observed that when the structural derangements of the organs of one system have been of a very extensive character, the lesions in those of tbo other have been comparatively unim�portant; hence the great ditferences which appear in the reports of the post-mortem appearances by various observers.

Morbid changes in the stomachs and intestines.

When making a dissection of an animal which has died of cattle plague, the abdominal organs arc generally the first examined, and in them the most marked evidences of disease are usually discovered; the lesions especially of the fourth stomach, the duodenum and jejunum, the coocum, and the rectum require to be minutely investigated.

Rumen.�Morbid changes in the structure of this stomach are not commonly present, and generally the organ will be observed to be full to repletion of imperfectly macerated food. The contents are often dry, particularly when the disease has continued for an unusually long time before producing a fatal result. In some instances where gruel has been administered during the treatment of the disease, the rumen lias been found₄ to contain hard masses of dry oatmeal, equal in quantity as nearly as could be calculated to the whole amount which had been given in the form of gruel, from which only the watery portion had been removed.

Although as a rule no disease is detectable in the lining membrane of the rumen in the greater number of instances, nevertheless patches of deep congestion will often be seen, if the dark coloured portion of the epithelium be scraped away.

Actual death of small portions of the mucous mem�brane and sub-nmcons tissue has been noticed ill some few cases. The lesion is peculiar in appearance, and easily recognized. On the surface of the muscular bands in particular there may be seen a few well-defined spots with dark centres, but having elevated edges of a rose or plum colour. Sometimes these dark centres or dead tissue will bo in the act of sloughing away.

The precise cause of these occasional changes of structure has not been ascertained, probably tbey are due to the same causes which induce congestion and inflammation of the so-called villous membranes ; but some recent investigations would seem to justify the

opinion that now and then they may arise from the local action of some irritants introduced into the rumen either with the food or the medicine. Similar changes were observed during an inquiry in Norfolk respecting sonic supposed cases of cattle plague, but in which death was found to depend on the animals having eaten a quantity of the quot; bitter sweet quot; (sola-mini dulcamara). In the course also of the last autumn, during the post-mortem examination of cattle that died after eating freely of acorns, which were unusually abundant, portions of the lining membrane, and even of the muscular structure of the rumen, were found to be disintegrated, and presented the same appearances which had previously been observed in the same structures of cattle aflbcted with plague.

Sometimes congestion exists in that portion of the lining membrane of the rumen which is covered with light-coloured epithelium, in which case the hue varying from a light pink to deep crimson or claret, is at once perceptible. More commonly, however, the increase of colour is limited to the portion of mucous membrane which is protected by dark coloured epithelium, and on this part the diseased condition is seldom or never detected until the epithelium has been scraped off.

The congestion of the lining membrane, whether it be diffused or circumscribed, is in no way a speciality of cattle plague, while on the other hand, as a reference to the report on a peculiar disease among cattle in the Isle of Man will show, it always exists ill a non-contagious affection of the ox met with in that island as well as elsewhere.

lieticulum.�It is exceedingly unusual to find any trace of disease in the second stomach, ami in no instance lias there been observed any more important morbid change than simple congestion. It may be remarked in reference to this viscus that it is less atfected in cattle plague, than in many other diseases of the digestive organs.

Omasum.�Indications of disease are mostly present in the third stomach, but none of the lesions are specifically characteristic of the existence of cattle plague. On the contrary similar appearances are commonly seen in pleuro-pneuinonia, gastro-enteritiraquo;, acorn poisoning, and other allied diseases.

Generally the omasum is distended, and sometimes it is rendered exceedingly hard from an accumulation of ingesta, which will be found compressed into dry cakes between the membranous folds. In numerous cases, however, no such abnormal conditions are met with. When an attempt is made to separate the leaves of the viscus, in those instances in which prelematural hardness is present, the epithelium will bo found to come away very easily, and to remain attached as a whitish film to the hardened masses of ingesta. There will also commonly be circumscribed masses of ingesta, so closely adherent to the membrane that nothing short of persistent scraping with the scalpel will affect a separation. This condition is most frequent where there is little or no increase of the

vftscularity of the loavoraquo; of tho ouiiimuiu, uor any of those dofiued rod hu�inorrhugic laquo;potraquo; which aro frequently observed upon them.

During tho post-mortem examinations -which were made at the coinmencom�iit of the outbreak of cattle plague in England, those patches of eongostion on the leaves of the omasum were seen so frequently that they wore looked upon as almost invariable phases of the morbid anatomy of tho disease. In many instances congestion was oxtonKively ditt'used, and frequently the vessels of the mucous membrane were rendered beautifully distinct in consequence of the accumulation of blood iu them. (Plate 1.) Occasionally several distinct bright red spots, nearly circular in form, ranging in size from a pea to a half-crown, would be seen in a single fold; And in some advanced cases of tho plague the centres of these red patches had become yellowish brown in colour, or occasionally had sloughed away, leaving perforations through the folds. Several instances of such loss of structure were observed in the early post-mortem examinations, but during the later period of the prevalence of tho disease they were met with but rarely, although hundreds of animals wore examined after death all over the kingdom, and particular care was always taken that no previously known morbid condition should be overlooked.

A very remarkable instance of extensive sloughing of portions of the folds of the omasum occurred in a cow that was attacked in a London dairy in July 1805. The animal was so prostrated by the plague that the owner determined to have her destroyed, but from some inattention ou the part of the attendants the animal was not removed for that purpose, and she ultimately recovered, although she never afterwards regained her strength. After about three months she was destroyed in consequence of extensive injury dune to tho knee joints, by constant lying down. A careful post-mortem examination was made with�out any sign being discovered of the ravages of the plague until the omasum was dissected, when lesions of the most remarkable character were observed. Perforations existed in a many of tho folds ; in some there were four or five holes^ and in others nearly the whole of the loaf was thus destroyed. A representation of the extraordinary condition of these parts is given in plate 2. The drawing was made by tracing the outline of tho fold, which was spread out on a piece of glass for the purpose. The healing process so far as it had extended was quite complete. No trace of congestion existed; all the leaves in the stomach were normal in colour and texture, and even tho edges of the wounds had completely healed, and were covered with papilla; precisely as in the healthy structure.

Morbid changes of so extensive a character involving tho leaves of the omasum have very rarely been seen in any other disease of cattle, nor, indeed, are they sufficiently common in cattle plague to merit the title of characteristic lesions. The inflamed and hiemorr-hagic patches which precede the sloughing process are, however, very frequent in diseases that are not allied to plague, and they are constant in the quot; grass diseasequot; in the Isle of Man, and the quot;dry murrain quot; in Ireland. Whether sloughing ever follows in these affections has not been ascertained; but one thing which is opposed to such a probability is the remark�ably rapid progress of these affections, which scarcely leaves time for much destruction of tissue to occur. Altogether it may bo safely asserted that in neither the rumen, reticulum, or omasum arc the morbid changes, which have been detected in cattle plague, sufficiently characteristic to bo accepted as positive evidence of the existence of that disease.

Ahomusum.�It is admitted by all who have in�vestigated the morbid anatomy of cattle plague, that the changes which occur in the structure of the mucous membrane of this viseus�the fourth stomach �are among the most characteristic effects of the disoaso ; but it cannot nevertheless bo doubted that #9632; many of the appeurancelaquo; #9632;which were regarded at one

time as ravages of tho cattle plague cannot be strictly viewed as tho result of that affection. Generally, however, the mucous membrane of tho abomasum in cases of plague is much congested, tho folds being often thickened and sometimes oedcraatous. Not un-frequently many of tho folds have long and dark coloured streaks on their edges, evidently the result of a giving way of the membrane. The surface of tho pyloric portion of tho stomach is often tumid, and mottled in aspect, while in many parts shallow excavations exist, the result of sloughing. Sometimes there are dark red spots found, as a result of sub-mucous htemorrhogo, and often the surface of the membrane is studded with minute points'of a, brighter red colour. Occasionally a curdy exudation, similar in nature to that which appears in tho fauces and oesophagus is met with. The excavations, or as they are generally called ulcers, together with tho curdy exudation on the surface, often appear near to the pylorus, and at the commencement of the duodenum. Sometimes, however, tho surface of the membrane is dry, the appearance being similar to its having been scorched and curled up by heat.

In very severe eases the whole surface of tho mucous membrane is of a very deep crimson colour, variegated by numerous yellow patches of sloughing structure; hut in other instances tho prevailing tint is that of a dirty yellowish white, mottled in places with patches of pink. Now and then spots of pigment give a peculiar aspect to the internal surface of the stomach, and excite much attention ; more commonly, however, they are absent. Nearly all these morbid appearances of tho membrane of the fourth stomach have been observed iu cases of gastro-cnteritis and other allied diseases.

In an infected subject, by which is meant an animal slaughtered when free from any visible symptoms of disease, the condition of the mucous membrane of the abomasum is often very peculiar. Not unfrequently the folds of the anterior part of the organ have dark lines along their edges, and occasionally portions appear to have sloughed away. Shallow depressions are also occasionally seen in the folds, and near to the pyloric portion of the viseus. The pulpy or tumid condition of the membrane, and the peculiar mottling with pink on a yellowish white surface, are likewise often observed in the fourth stomach of fat cattle slaughtered for food. Specimens have been selected from the abomasum of healthy animals which presented appearances so exactly corresponding with those which exist in many cases of cattle plague, that experienced observers have, without hesitation, affirmed that the parts had been removed from animals affected with that disease.

It must therefore be concluded, that the morbid changes which are delected in the mucous membrane of the abomasum in cases of cattle plague are in some instances of prior existence, and altogether uncon�nected with the malady. Probably some of the most remarkable lesions are the result of mechani�cal injuries fiom foreign bodies which have been swallowed, and which are often found in this stomach. Undoubtedly very important alterations are produced in the stomach in many cases during the progress of tho plague, but, excepting the occasional deposit of the curdy exudation on the surface of a highly con�gested membrane, these structural alterations are not specially confined to this disease.

Intestinal Canal, � Throughout tho intestines evidence of congestion is more or less complete ; but the indications of disease vary to a remarkable degree. Sometimes the mucous membrane is only slightly congested and streaked with parallel lines of pigment (Zebra markings), and at others there is extensive sub-mucous hojmorrhage, and a general blackening of the membrane particularly of the por�tion lining the largo intestines. More rarely an appearance resembling that of typhoid fever of pigs is seen, while tho contents of the canal will bo extensively mixed with blood. When this is washed , away the surfuco of the membrane is found to bo

covered with fungoid masses -which sprout from the surface. (Plate 15.) In the coocum those appearances have boon especially noticed, and in many cases this part of tho intostino is much thickened, particularly at its apex, tho folliclos are enlarged, and, being filled with yellow exudation, produce tho appearance of a pustular eruption. At tho terminal part of the rectum the congestion is always very marked ; tho folds of tho mucous membrane are almost invariably of a deep red colour, tho tint being intensified by the inter�mixture of blood, Pigmontous matter is often present in the rectum as a normal constituent, and when so it, with the congested vessels, imparts to tho folds a nearly black hue. A condition of this portion of intestines, in every particular identical with that seen in cattle plague is also found in other diseases. (Plate 3.)

In pleuro-pneumonia, gastro-enteritis, malignant aphthous fever, the quot; grass disease quot; of Ireland and tho Isle of Man, the condition of the mucous membrane of the rectum in tho majority of instances so closely resembles that which is seen in cattle plague, as not to bo distinguishable from it,

Tho surface of the congested membrane of the intestinal canal is in some cases covered with white exudation, but this phenomenon is also observed in the diseases just alluded to, perhaps as frequently as it is in cattle plague.

The glands of the intestines are involved in tho general morbid changes, but there arc no special lesions of these organs resulting from cattle plague. Often they are distended with an abundance of white exudation matter, and Peyer's patches are also fre�quently seen covered with white granular matter. In a few cases they have been found much enlarged, and to be overlaid with coats of effused lymph, a fourth part of an inch in thickness.

Lesions in the other Abdominal Organs.

An ecchymosed condition, often associated with diffused redness, has been observed in the serous membrane of the abdomen, especially in tho portion connecting together the stomachs, and that forming the omentum, but no morbid changes, specially con�nected with the effects of cattle plague, appear to exist in the other abdominal organs. The liver, how�ever, is sometimes congested; but generally rather pale in colour. The gall bladder is always distended with bile, which is often thin and light in colour. ^

Distension of the spleen with blood has been noticed during tho dissection of carcases of cattle affected with the plague, but only in a few cases, and then under circumstances which made it highly probable that this condition did not depend on an attack of this disease.

Spots of congestion are sometimes mot with in the mucous membrane of the gall bladder, which are occasionally associated with shreds of effused lymph. Now and then also all the coats of the viscus have been found tinged with blood and thickened.

Generative organs.�In the female, the vagina, in a very large proportion of cases, will be found to be much congested, and often of a purple hue. It is, however, far less frequently in a hasmorrhagic con�dition than the rectum. � glutinous exudation of a whitish colour, -which sticks to the surface of the mucous membrane, is usually present. The nterus is healthy.

In the male, a similar congested condition to that of tho vagina will be found to pervade the mucous membrane of the propuse. It is not, however, so constant, nor so well marked. Exudation matter will also bo present in some cases, but only to a very small amount. Lesions observed in, the Organs of the Respiratory System.

When tho destructive action of tho disease is very apparent in tho alimentary canal, it may bo expected that comparatively slight morbid changes will be delected in tho respiratory and circnlntory organs ; and under any circumstances the lesions observed in tho thoracic viscera arc not to be compared in

severity with those which arc found in I lie digestive system.

L^arynx, trachea, und bronchial tubes.�There will bo found in most instances in these parts very decided traces of morbid action. Congestion occasionally pre�vails throughout. Often sub-mucous haunorrhago changes the normal colour of the membrane to dark red or nearly black ; hut the most peculiar morbid con�dition is a deposit of a diphthei'itic exudation of more or less firmness of texture upon the mucous surface. Sometimes this deposit is confined to the larynx and upper part of the trachea, at others it extends as a fine film down to the bronchial tubes, and not uncommonly it assumes the form of tho same kind of curdy exuda�tion which is scon in tho fauces and on tho buccal memb'.-ane generally. The congested condition of tho mucous membrane, and exudation of a baud-like mass of fibrous material, are shown in tho drawing (plate 4) of the tongue and larynx of a cow which died of pleuro-pneumonia complicated with gastro�enteritis. The appearances were considered to resemble so exactly those which nro frequently seen in tho same parts of animals affected with cattle plague, that it was deemed advisable to illustrate them. Identical morbid changes have also boon found in malignant aphthous fever, and other fatal diseases of cattle.

Idlings.�In uncomplicated cases these organs will be found to be free from organic changes, unless tho inter-lobular emphysema which is almost constantly present be so considered. When the lungs arc first exposed the appeiirauco produced by the white lines of air-dis�tended areolar tissue traversing the pink surface in all directions is very peculiar. It is not in every case, however, that emphysema is developed to this extent; but oven when apparently absent, it will generally be found to exist in some portions of the lungs,�most probably in tho anterior lobes. Occasionally also one lung will be found in an emphysematous condition, and the other congested. The extensive diffusion of emphysema is, however, so frequent that it may be considered as one of the most constant lesions met with in cattle plague.

No pathognomonic significance, however, can be attached to it, as it often occurs in other affections. In tho quot; grass diseasequot; of tho Isle of Man it was seen in its most developed form ; while singularly enough in a similar disease in Ireland it was only occasionally apparent to a very slight extent,

Interlobular emphysema is also not uncommonly present in the lungs of apparently healthy cattle, and it is also sometimes associated with the deposit of tuberculous matter in tho disease known as quot; grapes quot; (scrofula). The illustration (plate 13) was taken from the lungs of a cow in good condition, slaughtered in tho Metropolitan Cattle Market; and although all tho other organs were carefully examined, no appearance of disease was anywhere detected, Tho entire lungs were in the condition depicted ; emphysema existing to quite as great an extent as had ever been seen in the worst form of cattle plague. Complications of contagious pleuro-pnoumonia with cattle plague were met with at various times. In some cases this lung disease was recent, affecting only a portion of the anterior lobes, while in other instances the greater part or the whole of one lung was consolidated.

Morbid conditions of the Organs of Circulation.

Heart.�This organ is usually empty, or contains a small quantity of semifluid blood. Very often, but not invariably, the muscular tissue is flabby and soft. In some instances of advanced cattle plague the heart has presented no peculiar appearances which would enable an anatomist to distinguish it from the same organ of a healthy animal. Occasionally the external surface of the heart, especially about the auricles, has been found to be blackened by extravasated blood, A remarkable and far more frequent morbid condition of tho interior of the left ventricle was, however, observed in the post-mortem examinations which were made during the first few months of the outbreak of the plnguc, viz., tho effusion of Wood�ecchymosis � In

patobes beneath the lining meinbraiio, causing lt;lio peoulitir spotted appearance represented In plate 11. It is remarkable that this condition of the heart was

less seldom seen in the Inltor jmrt of the prevalouco of cuttle plague. Ecchymosls of the left ventricle has been ft'equently observed In animals that have died from pleuro-pneumonia and other diseases, and it is rarely absent in (ho quot;grassquot; disease, of the Islo of Man. The drawing, phito II, was taken from the heart of a cow which died from plenro-pnoiimonia. Indeed it would seem that, the morbid appearance depicted, so far from being peculiar to cattle plague, is oven less frequent in that affection than in other diseases.

Lips, Tonyuc, and Ffintoes.�Excepting the morbid appearances in the pharynx and larynx, there will be but little evidence obtained by a post-mortem exami�nation to that which can bo gained by an inspection of the mouth of the living animal. The peculiar cracked condition of the epithelium of the gums and lips, apparent during life, will also bo found on a post�mortem examination at the root of the tongue, where it is frequently most marked, as well as in the fauces and the pharynx.

The palate, or roof of the mouth, in many cases is the seat of severe lesions, the epithelium being removed in large patches exposing raw surfaces (plate 6). In some instances the excoriation extends over the greater part of the structure, and from the front of tlie mouth backwards to the velum palati, the entire palate will have an appearance of one large abrasion. A dose examination often leads to the detection of slight excoriations in different parts of the membrane covering the roof of the mouth, even when no disease exists on the lips, gums, or tongue. Very commonly, however, and particularly during the latter part of the outbreak, all the tissues of the mouth were found to have entirely escaped the action of the disease, and only rarely wore those changes seen which at the commencement used to be almost in�variably present.

In reference to the morbid condition of the mouth which was considered to be, so characteristic of the disease us to merit the title of the quot; Cattle I'lagne mouth,quot; it is necessary to observe that a similarly diseased state has been frequently seen in other and non-infectious diseases ; the lesions therefore can no longer be accepted as indicationraquo; of plague.

Recently excoriations of the membrane of the palate were observed in cattle which died from eating freely of acorns. Some of the specimens gave evidence, of structural changes quite as extensive as those which were detected in the most severe forms of cattle plague. (See plate, 16, and 17). In other parti�culars also the post-mortem appearances were allied to those of the plague ; and when the disease first appeared some considerable alarm was created in various parts of the country, owing to the resemblance which existed between the symptoms and morbid appearances resulting from acorn-poisoning and those of cattle plague.

Several diseases which have been at various times investigated, are also distinguished by the presence of the alterations of structure which go to make up the quot; cattle plague mouth.quot; These affections are more particularly alluded to in another section of this report.

It having been established that no speciality charac-(erized the post-mortem appearances of the membrane lining the mouth and its appendages, inquiry was next directed to the microscopic characters of the exu�dation found on the lips, tongue, and fauces, and also sometimes in the trachea and oesophagus, with the view to ascertain whether the morbid product con�tained any elements which were characteristic of cattle plague.

Microscopic Appearances.

Exudation from Mucous Surfaces.�The so-called quot; curdy,quot; quot; cheesy,quot; or quot; branlikequot; exudation ho frequently seen on the mucous membrane of the lips, gums, posterior part of the tongue, lances,

oesophagus, and trachea, will bo found to present tolerably uniform microscopic characters. The ele�ments are mainly, largo granular corpuscles, masses of germinal matter, smaller bodies somewhat similar in appearance to pus corpuscles, and masses of epithe�lium with many baetoriaand vibriones. Very generally the epithelial scales are collected together, sometimes in concentric masses which are not readily separable. The granular bodies are often of considerable size, especially in the exudative matter from (he mucous membrane of the respiratory and digestive systems of young animals. So constant and uniform in character are these masses of exudation matter that they were thought to bo special products of the cattle plague; but the subsequent discovery of them in large numbers in the exudative matter from the mouth and fauces of a cow which died of malignant aphthous fever, at once negatived this idea. Subsequent investigations upon tho products of month and foot disease also proved tho existence of similar bodies in the exudations which take place in that very common affection. Illustrations of the microscopic characters of the secretions from a calf which died of rinderpest, and from a cow which was attacked with a disease resembling cattle plague, but afterwards ascertained by experiment to be a non-in�fectious disease, are given for tho purpose of showing tho similarity of the elements. (Plate 5, tigs. I and 2.)

The condition of the Milk.�Granular bodies similar in structure, but of smaller size, are found in the milk of cows affected with plague ; they occur abundantly as soon as the disease is fully developed, and remain for a long time, in some cases, after recovery. In one instance (sec plate 5, fig. 3) they were detected in the milk of a cow which hud recovered from the plague nearly four months previously, and which at the time of the examination was in good condition, and giving a full quantity of milk.

Plate 5, fig. 4, gives a representation of the micro�scopic appearance of the milk taken from a cow suffering from plague. In different specimens a groat variation in the proportion and size of the oil globules is to be observed ; in some they arc collected in masses, while in others they are numerous but of small size. The number of the granular bodies is also subject to variation, in some specimens they will be found scattered irregularly over tho field of the microscope, but in others they will be so abundant as to constitute the most prominent objects, being so much larger in size and darker in colour than the milk corpuscles.

Samples of milk from cows affected with pleuro-pneumonia have since been found to contain these masses of germinal matter in abundance ; and they have also been seen, to as great an extent, in the milk of animals suffering from mouth and foot complaint.

Alterations in the Muscular Tissue.�Examina�tion of the flesh of cattle which died of cattle plague, or were killed while affected therewith, led to tho detection of appearances more or less definite in character according to the extent of the progress of the disease and the severity of the attack. In the early stages of the disease, particularly in mild attacks and in animals in good condition, there were, however, no pathological changes discoverable in the flesh. Comparisons were frequently made of the flesh of cattle affected with the plague in the incipient form, with that of healthy oxen, and no difference whatever could be seen. Even the butchers admitted that in many instances it was. impossible to decide whether an animal was the subject of cattle plague or not, by an inspection of the carcase.

Decided changes in the appearance of the flesh however, were observed when the disease assumed a virulent form, and under such circninstances it was not difficult to distinguish the flesh of a diseased animal from that of a healthy one. The colour of the mus�cular tissue varied from the brightest crimson to the darkest red, _ verging upon a chocolate colour ; tho latter tint being most common in nnimalH which died in an advanced state of the disease. The bright red hue was more characteristic of the second stage of the malady, a condition in which animals were frequently slaughtered for food. In our journeys of inquiry ir.

the country, it was not unusual to scosuch quot;floryquot; looking moat boing convoyed, to a railway station with the view in all probability, to its ultiinnte tmnsit to a wholesale meat market. Meat #9632;which presents obvious and easily detectable signs of baring nmlcrgono morbid changes, indicated by alteriilions of eolour and texture, is donbtless mnvholesome ; but the experience of the last few years aflbrds no ground for the belief that tho llcsh of cattle nll'ected with the plague In the first stage is unlit for food. Til appearance the cni'cases of such animals were perfucrly natural; and during tho timo of tho greatest prevalence of tho cnttlo plague, many tons of meat the product of infected cattle were sent to market and sold for luunan food.

Parasitic Bodies in the Muscles,�Attention was lirst called to tho presence of parasitic organisms in tho muscular structure of animals atfectod with cattle plague by Dr. Fenwick in January 1866. These bodies had been previously met with by different observers, but their existence to an extraordinary extent in cattle plague gave some sanction to the idea that in this disease tho conditions were especially favourable to their development.

Dr. Fenwick, in his letter to the quot;Timesquot; dated Jan. 3, 1866, thus speaks of these parasitic bodies : quot; The entozoa to which I refer arc usually about , Jj-quot; of an inch in length, but occasionally three or tbur quot; times as large. In the heart they are cither round, quot; oval, or elongated at one end, with the projection quot; terminating in a small bulb. In the other muscles quot; they often resemble a common oaitli-wonn, are quot; divided into segments, and tilled with granules. quot; In one fine section of the heart, weight less than quot; one tenth of a grain, I counted 15 of these minute quot; bodies ; if this bo multiplied by the weight of the quot; heart itself, some idea will be formed of the vast quot; amount of parasitic growth in this organ alone. quot; But when it is considered that tho entire muscular quot; structure is affected in a similar manner, it is evi-quot; dent that this condition must exercise nn important quot; influence on tho health of the animal.

quot; These bodies are in most respects similar to quot; those described by Mr. Rainey, as observed in the quot; muscles of pigs, and it is therefore only on account quot; of the vast numbers In which they occur in tho quot; animals destroyed by cattle phigue, that. 1 think quot; them worthy of remark.quot;

Dr. Cobbold took objection to these bodies being classified among ontozoa, and in his paper published in the quot; Lancetquot; of January 27,1866, ho observes:�

quot; These bodies are by no moans new to science. quot; Similar or analogous organisms arc to be met quot; with in a great variety of animals, nnd likewise in quot; the human body. They have been described under quot; a variety of titles, such as worm nodules, worm quot; nests, eggs of tho common fluke, young measles, quot; corpuscles produced by muscular degeneration, quot; psorospermte, stages of growth of gregarime, quot; amoeboid bodies, and so forth. In so far as the quot; higher animals are concerned, Dujardin was the quot; first to describe them in the mole. This animal, quot; however, having boon fed upon earthworms (whoso quot; perivisceral cavities were previously known to be quot; constantly liable, to harbour such parasites) there quot; was no difficulty in accounting for tho source of quot; the psorospcrms. In 1853 Ilessling discovered quot; psorospcrmial sacs in the muscular substance of the quot; heart, not. only of the ox, but also of the sheep nnd quot; roe. By him they were regarded as evidence of quot; muscular degeneration. About ton years pre-quot; viously, Mieschcr is said to have found similar quot; bodies in tho muscles of the mouse. In 18.57, quot; Rainey described precisely similar structures taken quot; from tho flesh of swine ; and, in hiraquo; able memoir, quot; he went so far as to maintain that these bodies quot; were neither moro nor less than tho curly stageraquo; quot; of development of the common pork-measle.quot; quot; Leuckhart found these organisms in the intestines quot; of a trichinised dog, also in a sheep and pig quot; severally fed with trichina;, in the muscles of

quot; another pig fed with psorosperms, and likewise, I quot; believe, in the liver of various rabbits.quot;

quot; Valuable, however, ns are the foregoing records, quot; perhaps, in a pathological point of view, none equal quot; in interest tho observations of Liudemann at quot; Nischuey-Novgorod. This medical officer discovered quot; psorospermnl sacs attached to tho hair of a girl quot; who was being treated in tho hospital for chlorosis.quot;

Respecting the nature of the parasites, Dr. Cobbold says, quot; Lot nny unprejudiced observer compare tho quot; corpuscular contents of these sacs with the non-quot; ciliated zoosporcs of the grape fungus, and ho will quot; not fail to observe a most marked similarity between quot; the two. Tho placing of these bodies along with quot; the entozoa, properly so called, is out of tho quot; question, their characters in no respects conforming quot; with those of helminths, even in the earliest phases quot; of development of the latter. It is best to regard quot; them ns parasitic protozoa, having moro or less quot; striking vegetable affinities.quot;

Dr. Beale, in his report to the Royal Commis�sioners, gives an elaborate account, with many Illustrations, of the structure of these organisms, which he has no doubt are of an animal nature. Dr. Beale's conclusions are thus stated:�

quot; 1. That in almost all, if not in all animals dying quot; of cattle plague, entozoa or entozoon-liko bodies quot; exist in considerable numbers in the voluntary quot; muscles and In the heart.

quot; 2. They are occasionally found, but in compa-quot; ratively small numbers, in animals apparently in quot; perfect health when killed.

quot; 3. These, or closely allied species, have been quot; known for moro than 20 years, but their nature has quot; not yet been dctemiiued. They have been found quot; in tho ox, sheep, deer, pig, mouse, and perhaps quot; other animals.

quot; 4. In the muscles of a calf killed by cattle quot; plague, under six months of age, these bodies wore quot; found in immense numbers,

quot; o. They vary in length from less than the _TffVff quot; of an inch to at least, a quarter of an inch. They quot; arc for the most part embedded in the contractile quot; material of the elementary muscular fibre, but they quot; are occasionally found free.

quot; 6. They are for the most part spindle-shaped, quot; and the external investment or envelope exhibits a quot; very delicate and peculiar structure, being com-quot; plctely covered with delicate hair-like processes.

quot; 7. The mass within appears granular by low quot; power, and exhibits a division into numerous seg-quot; ments, but it is found to consist entirely of minute quot; bodies resembling one another, possessing very quot; definite characters, less than the j�Vvt of an inch in quot; their longest diameter, nnd of peculiar form, being quot; oval, flattened, tho body slightly curved laterally, quot; with one extremity blunt and the other rather quot; abruptly pointed.

quot; 8. The entire worm-like mass increases in size '� as these small bodies multiply in number, probably quot; by division and subdivision within tho cyst.quot;

That these bodies are generally present in cattle plague is certain ; and there is no difficulty in demon�strating their existence in tho majority of instances. All which is necessary is to place a small fragmont of muscle upon a glass slide and separate it into (ihres by means of needles, adding a drop of water before the covering glass is applied.

On submitting the preparation to examination under a low power objective, the fibres of the muscle are seen to be generally healthy in appearance, while in various parts of the field small oblong bodies of a worm-like form, and distinguished from the muscle by their darker colour or rather greater opacity will be observed. Ill the heart these bodies�psoro�spcrms�arc commonly lying five among the fibres; but in the voluntary muscles they are for the most part inclosed within the sarcotemma, in tho manner represented in plate 8, fig 1.

The most favourable situations for the oblaiiunent of good examples arc tho muscles of the heart, the

psoas inuocles, and espocially in portions of muscular Btnicture taken from tho submaxillary region.

Dr. Fenwick states that ho found psorospcrms in every specimon of muscle from animals affected with plague which ho examined. Dr. Bealo failed to find them in only one instance. In our own investigations they have been detected in a great number of cases, but sometimes specimens of muscle taken from several animals in succession of tho same herd, undoubtedly the subjects of plague, appeared to ho quite free from them.

A remarkable statement in connexion with these parasitic bodies in tho muscular tissue was commu�nicated to us by Mr. Fodarb, of Buckland, near Dover, viz., their gradual disappearance after tho muscle had been removed from tho body for some time. Careful experiments were made directly this statement was received, with tho view to ascertain to what extent the peculiarity really might have affected tho correct�ness of observations upon the specimens of muscle previously examined. Large and dark-coloured psoro�spcrms were kept under tho microscope in a moist condition, and examined at frequent intervals. No change of importance was observed for tho first 24 hours, but during the next 12 hours the borders of some of them became very much paler in colour and more transparent. This transparency increased for another 12 hours, and after that time no further alter�ation took place. The exact position of the bodies being known, they could bo distinguished, although very indistinctly, by a careful adjustment of tho light. They would, however, have escaped observation in a specimen of muscle seen for the first time; and hence, although it did not appear from tho investigation that there is positive disappearance of the psorospcrms, it was evident that after some hours a considerable proportion of them became so pale as not to be distinguishable, except in a previously prepared specimen, in which their precise situation was known to the observer.

The discovery of this peculiarity is important, and may probably account for the discrepancies which have been remarked in the results of examinations undertaken by different microscopical observers in order to determine the presence or absence of these parasitic bodies. If specimens of muscle are examined at different periods by two equally competent observers,

ono might assort that thoy contained no parasites, while tho other, who had commenced his invostigation soon after tho death of tho animal, might have detected them in largo numbers.

Admitting however that tho psorospcrms are present in every instance in the muscles of nnimals aft'ectod with cattle plague, numerous microscopic examinations have shown that they exist to as groat an extent in the muscles of cattle affected with other diseases. Thus they were seen by us in great numbers in n ease of malignant aphthous fever, adverted to at page 343 on account of the remarkable resemblance of the morbid changes in the mouth, fauces, amp;c. to those of plague. Portions of muscle cut from the base of the tongue in tho case in question were found to be infested with organisms in every respect identical with those seen in the muscles in cattle plague. (Plate 8, fig I.)

Microscopic examinations of muscle in cases of pleuro-pneumonia gave exactly similar results (plate 8, figs 2 and 3). In mouth and foot disease they are also present; and more recently psorospcrms have been found well developed and abundantly numerous in cases of scrofula in cattle (plate 9, fig 1). They exist also in many specimens of pig's flesh (plate 9, fig 2)., and are to be met with both in heathy cattle and sheep.

These investigations, however, have not thrown any new light upon the origin of psorospcrms.

From the results of experiments which have been made for the purpose of determining whether these organisms can be transmitted to healthy animals by feeding them with the infested flesh, it may bo generally assumed that, although animals appear to have been thus infected, the presence of psorospcrms is not usually the result of such a mode of conveyance, as they occur especially in animals which are not carnivorous.

Finally, the results of the inquiry, while they are positively opposed to the idea that the worm-like bodies, or psorosperms, have any special reference to cattle plague, either as a cause or effect of the disease, tend to prove that they are developed in much greater abundance in the muscles of cattle and sheep affected with malignant diseases than they are in the same tissue of healthy animals.

Treatment of Cattle Plague.

As previously stated in this report, immediately that the serious nature of the calamity which had fallen upon tho stock of the country was realized, a desire arose for the employment of remedial measures with the view to cure the disease, despite the experience of continental authorities, who by numerous experi�ments had long since ascertained the utter inutility of curative measures, and not only so, but who had unanimously recommended the adoption of the sys�tem of slaughtering diseased animals, and isolating the healthy, as the only method of exterminating, the plague. In spite, also, of the maintenance of this doctrine by the Veterinary Department, tho demand for remedies for the cattle plague became most urgent. Many physicians and surgeons, veteri�nary surgeons, farriers, and cow-leeches, besides agriculturists and persons whose occupations were in no way connected with medicine, were found to suggest, and frequently to carry out, plans of treatment which they believed would prove to be efficacious.

The Government was fairly inundated with letters cntitaining recommendations for tho treatment of cattle affected with plague, not only from various parts of England ; but also from the Continent. Some of tho suggestions were afterwards tested, when, in obedience to almost universal desire, different methods of treat�ment were tried, but others of them were too absurd to deserve the slightest consideration.

It was a singular fact that most of tho suggested remedies were asaerted to be infallible. Cattle plague was epoken of by some persons nlaquo; mere inflammation of tho stomach and intestines, to be treated by tho

means which not unfrequently prove successful in such a disease of tho digestive system. Others boldly advanced the theory that the fatality of the plague was merely due to the soreness of the mouth, and that therefore the treatment should be mainly directed to the cure of the lesions of this part, and to the support of the animal by diet artificially adminis�tered. Sometimes a method of treatment exclusively of a stimulant character was proposed, while on tho other hand the employment of excitants was strongly opposed, and depletive measures were asserted to be the most efficacious.

lleported recoveries under the administration of favourite remedies were frequently found upon inves�tigation to be altogether incorrectly stated. Animals in districts where plague existed, whose health had suffered from ordinary causes, were looked upon as being affected with cattle plague, and their recovery from a simple illness was directly quoted in proof of the efficacy of a certain system of treatment. Occa�sionally it appeared that even perfectly healthy animals were treated under the impression that they were affected with cattle plague, and in very many instances, cattle which were said to have recovered from tho pest were afterwards fatally attacked with the malady. Such cases were, however, not uncommonly alluded to as instances of relapse, or of a severe and long-continued attack.

Many of tho prescriptions forwarded to the Veteri�nary Department contained a multiplicity of agents which long since had entirely fallen into disuse� gums, balsams, and spices which are only alluded to

CAT'ri,E PLAGUE IN GKEAT UUITAIN.

In tho older works on disoases of cattle. Somo of the remedies, which wore confidently offered as specifics for tho disease, wore ridiculous in their imturo ; others worn absolutely disgusting. Among tho latter a remedy which was alleged to bo a certain cure, was composed of common soot and gunpowder, which were ordered quot; to bo mixed with a quart of tho animal's own urine.quot;

Tho most remarkable part of our experience in reference to tho originators of many of the suggestions for treatmeut of cattle plague was gained in inter�views with persons who spoke most decidedly of tho beneficial efiecta of their nostrums, In nearly every instance we ascertained at once that the individuals who made (ho most positive assertions were quite ignorant of everything connected with cattle ; and seldom did it appear that the treatment so confidently recommended had ever been tried by those who advanced it. quot;We were thus forced necessarily to the conclusion that a great many well-meaning persons had left their ordinary avocations, to deal with a question which was altogether out of their province, and upon which they were quite incompetent even to speculate consistently.

With the view to test the efficacy of various reme�dies, it was early proposed by physicians and surgeons out of number, as well as by other persons, to erect suitable places all over the country in which diseased cattle might bo kept while under treatment. As has been already explained, a proposition to establish a sanatorium in or near London, on an extensive scale, found favour with the City authorities, and through their influence the question was brought to the notice of the Government. The objections to the existence of such a focus of infection were so palpable, that, after some discussion, the idea was abandoned. This did not, however, arrest the course of public opinion, which was indiscriminately in favour of every attempt being made to euro the diseased cattle, and impatient of arguments on the other side.

Notwithstanding the repeated assertion that no sufficient efforts were made Ly tho veterinary pro�fession to cure the disease, it is certain that during the early part of its prevalence, treatment was per�sistently applied, until experience demonstrated tho incurable nature of the malady. Indeed, in no country in Europe have such sustained efforts been made to arrest the course of the plague by medical treatment as in Great Britain. It is not indeed hyperbolical to assert, that all the medicaments and every method of treatment which had over been applied for diseases of cattle in this country were bad recourse to and with an almost uniformly negative result. Even long after veterinary surgeons had despaired of curing tho plague, physicians and surgeons were found to condemn the opinion that tho only way to get quit of the disease was quot; to stamp it out.quot; They still urged that further trial should be given to medical treatment, and this under their own immediate superintendence.

With a view to ascertain the extent to which remedial measures had been applied by veterinary surgeons, nearly 1,400 official forms were issued from the Veterinary Department ; the returns to these showed that between nine and ten thousand animals had been treated in different parts of tho country. Nearly 60O of the returns were received from veteri�nary surgeons and inspectors who had tried different remedies. An nnalysis of tho various plans of treatment was issued from the Department, but owing to the very complicated nature of the system of treatment adopted in many cases, it was found difficult to arrange the remedies in appropriate groups. The following classification, however, convoys a tolerably correct idea of the methods which were used.

1. Antiseptics, combined cither with tonics, stimu�lants, carminatives, laxatives, febrifuges, stypiics, astrin�gents, sedatives, diaphoretics, or diuretics, wi Ih counter-irritants and dietetics.

2.nbsp; Tonics, combiuod oitiior with stimulants, carmi�natives, styptics, laxatives, astringents, or antacids.

3.nbsp; Antiphlogistics, including bleeding, laxatives, sedatives, narcotics, and also counter-irritants, and followed by tonics, stimulants, and astringents.

4.nbsp; Speciid treatment. This was generally experi�mental. It included hot air baths, cold air baths, vapour baths, hydropathy, amp;c., and also the intro�duction of medicines beneath the skin.

The results of tho employment of these several means varied so little, that for all practical purposes they may bo looked upon as uniform j a fact in itself suggestive of the ineffieacy of all tho methods which were adopted.

Under the antiphlogistic system tho greatest amount of success was attained, the reported recoveries amounting to 27^- 453 per cent.

Tho antiseptic was next in order,

tho reported

recoveries reaching 2() '�C� per cent.

Tho tonic and stimulant plan and the experimental or special treatment were each followed by reported recoveries to tho extent of 2�*858 per cent., and con�sequently they would appear to have been tho least successful of tho methods employed.

These returns, however, only tended to confirm our independent observations, namely, that under the most opposite systems of therapeutics, animals recovered in about the same proportion.

So far, indeed, as the real success attending the various plans of treatment is concerned, these returns possess little or no value. Tho recoveries, on tho average, somewhat exceeded 26 per cent., being far greater than either ourselves or other independent in�vestigators had obtained In his comments upon this success, tho Secretary to the Veterinary Department rightly observed, that quot; in attempting to reconcile this quot; anomaly, it must be borne in mind that a natural quot; tendency exists to exaggerate, even unconsciously, quot; the effects of a favourite system of treatment, and quot; further, that in the zeal for subjecting cases to quot; treatment at the earliest moment, animals have often quot; been selected which are at the time free from quot; disease, and probably remain so for a considerable quot; period, in fact so long as to cause them to bo quot; returned as cases of recovery.quot;

Although never for a moment doubting the cor-rectness of the opinion which we had held from the beginning as to the incurability of the cattle plague, we, notwithstanding all which has been said to the contrary, put no difficulty in the way of trials being made, excepting in those instances in which it was seen that immense mischief was likely to accrue. A number of veterinary surgeons were requested to test particular plans of treatment, while others were asked to give trial to special medicinal agents with a view to ascertain their prophylactic power.

To carry out the object tho following circular was sent to selected members of the veterinary pro�fession :�

quot; I am very desirous that trial should be given to some special remedial agents, hereafter to bo decided upon, by selected members of the profession, who possess the necessary facilities for the treatment of cases of cattle plague, and as such I am induced to ask your co-operation. Should you kindly agree to undertake this investigation, it will be necessary that you should ultimately report all tho details as well as the result of the treatment,

quot; I am also desirous of instituting a series of cx-periinenls on the use of medicinal agents to cattle which have boon herded with those Buffering from quot; cattle plague,quot; that their supposed prophylactic power may be tested.

u igt;.y.�'J'liis conunuiiieatioii is not to bo considered as official, but. nltogother of a private! nature.quot;

Fifty-throe veterinary surgeons gave a ready response to this request, and to many of them the carrying out of special forms of treatment was confided, Tho repovts ns a whole only tended to prove the inutility, to a greater or lesser extent, of every medicinal agent which had been employed, either for curing or preventing the disease ; thus giving additional confirmation to our opinion.

Besides these independent proceedings, tho Eoyal Commission early determined on an oflicial inquiry as to the effects of treatment upon the disease, and Professor Varnell and Assistant-Professor Pritchard, of the Royal Tetorinary College, were selected for the purpose. The report furnished by these gen�tlemen shows that out of fil'ty-two animals admitted into the College Infirmary, only four recovered. The details set forth that 34 animals, treated with thera�peutic agents of every variety of action, died ; that 11, left without the exhibition of medicine, also died ; 2, treated hydropathically, died ; 1 was slaughtered, and 4 recovered. These untoward results were in part attributed to tlio fact that in many of the cases, the disease was very far advanced before the animals reached the infinniu-y, and further that tho weather was unusually hot during the greater part of the time the experimentalistraquo; were engaged in the inquiry.

A Cattle Plague Committee was also organized by the Eoyal Commission to undertake the treatment of the disease in Scotland. The Committee consisted of Dr. Andrew Wood {cltairman), Professor Dick, V.S., Dr. J. A. Hunter, Dr. H. D. Littlejohn, Dr. D. Mae-lagan, Dr. L. Playfair, C. domains, V.S., Sir James G. Simpson, M.D., Professor Strangeways, V.S., and Professor J. Wilson.

The Committee, in their report, described the results which followed the adoption of four classes of remedies which thoy had agreed to give trial to under the following heads.

1.nbsp; quot; Diaphoretic and stimulant, including treating by means of tlio vapour bath, tho administration of oil of turponlino in gruel, the employment of infusion of coffee every six hours, or the exhibition of carbonate of ammonia in doses of half an ounce two or three times a day.quot;

2.nbsp; quot; Acid treatment, including the internal use of diluted muriatic acid, or of vinegar, either agent to be given in gruel.quot;

3.nbsp; nbsp;quot; Bestomtive treatment without drugs, including general hygiene, regulation of diet and temperature, but rigidly excluding all medicines,quot;

4.nbsp; quot;Prophylactic treatment, including tho daily use of sulphite of soda, or M'DongaH's solution, or of the two combined, in the drink water.quot;

The table of general results, contained some remark�able statements in reference to the comparative effects of medical anil dietetic treatment, thus,

quot; 1. Cottagers' cattle treated with mashed food, re�covered to die extent of 73^-7 per cent.quot;

quot; 2. In larger stocks, where the animals were allowed dry food during convalescence, the recoveries were �p� per cent.quot;

quot; J). Cattle treated with a mixed diet, mashes and hay, only 22^-2 per cent, recovered.quot;

quot; 4. When medicine was given, and dry food alone allowed, the recoveries were only 13-� per cent.quot;

The extent to which the percentage of recoveries was Influenced by circumstanceraquo;, so frequently ignored by persons who rely mainly on the effects of medicine in the euro of cattlo plague was thus clearly shown.

Tho Royal Commission, in alluding to the proceedings of the Edinburgh Committee, remarked that tho results obtained by its investigations quot;show that by judicious quot; feeding with soft mashes of digestible food, tho quot; proportion of recoveries has boon considerable, and quot; in some places largely increased. This is consistent quot; with tho pathology of the disease. The influence quot; of a proper choice of food is litre paramount; as to quot; drugs, with tho exception of some remedial means quot; to treat urgent symptoms, and ammonia as a dif-quot; fusible stimulant, the Edinburgh Committee do not quot; recommend them.quot; quot;If,quot; said the Royal Commission, quot; wo could always reckon on 73'7 per cent, of re-quot; coverics, the cattle plague would lose its terrors, quot; but this cannot bo anticipated as a general result. quot; The number of cases indeed is far too small to quot; servo as a safe basis for calcnlation.quot;

The beneficial effects of well selected diet has been commented on by all observers of the progress of cattle plague, both hero and on tho continent.

Mr. R. C. Webster, writing from Kherson, on the treatment of the disease, observes that quot;immc-quot; dintely the malady appears, or is suspected to quot; exist, no more hard food is to be given to the quot; animal, but, in lieu of this, drenches of meal and quot; water, to which a little salt should be added. Sour quot; drenches, tho lees of kvass (a sour drink made of quot; fermented rye bread), also mucilaginous remedies, quot; such as mashes of buckwheat, barley-groats, and quot; bran, amp;c., should be given. If the animal does not quot; cough, add a suflicient quantity of vinegar and quot; muriatic acid to the mashes to give them a sourish quot; taste. Pulped apples, cherries, pumpkins, carrots, quot; or turnips, likewise peas, beans, lentils, and similar quot; pulse, may bo given according to the season of the quot; year. If the animal suffers from constipation, which quot; frequently happens, emollient and oil clysters may quot; be used.quot;

Further with regard to tho beneficial results which sometimes attend tho treatment of the plague, and the several causes which operate in their production, the breed of the cattle must not be forgotten. Dutch cows, for example, generally suffer much less than English, and consequently, the remedies which are tried upon them often yield results which, how�ever satisfactory in one sense, are entirely fallacious in another.

A remarkable instance of the recovery of Dutch cattle from the plague came under our observation in the spring of 18�6 in the metropolis. In the course of our search after cases, twenty Dutch cows were unexpectedly found to be suffering from the plague in various stages. On notice being sent to the Local Authority, the inspector of the district promptly attended, and gave orders for tho slaughter of the worst cases at once. The other animals, four�teen in number, were permitted, for some unexplained reason, to live, and it was afterwards ascertained that all of them had recovered. Tho only treatment adopted by the owner was tho frequent administration of gruel; no other diet, liquid or solid, being allowed from the time the animals were attacked until they had recovered from the disease.

We come now to speak of some special remedies employed in the cure of cattle plague, which found more or less favour with the pnblic. First it may be stated that next in efHcacy to dietetics, antiseptic treatment, may be placed, Is'ot unf'requently the con�tinued employment of antiseptics was found to retard the course of the malady, and thus to prolong the animal's life. On the assumption that in cattlo plague the blood undergoes a change allied to that which is induced by fermentation, the sulphites of soda were recommended, and by some persons they were believed to be almost infallible, both in the prevention and cure of the disease. On a similar principle, Condy's fluid, carbolic or crcsylic acid, chlorate of potash, bicarbonate of potash, carbonic acid gas, chlorine, peroxide of hydrogen, creosote, tar, yeast, animal charcoal, amp;c. were administered,

Sulphite and liyposulphite of soda___As cniiy as

I860, Professor Polli of Milan called attention to the use of sulphites and hyposulphites in zymotic diseases, and subsequently, at the request of the Italian Minister of Commerce aiul Agriculture, he quot;published instruc-quot; tions Cor their nso in aphtha epizootica, ylos/in-quot; throne, anthrax fever, and typhus fever of cattle.quot;

In Oct. 18(gt;5, the Professor forwarded a comnuini-cation to Mr. Simon, Medici! Ofliccr of the Privy Council, in which he recommended for the treatment of cattle plague that quot; from eight to twelve ounces quot; of the sulphite of soda should bo given daily, with quot; two to three ounces of common salt, dissolved in quot; two quarts of water, to he administered in two quot; or three draughts, in the morning, at noon, and quot; in the evening, and always at a distance of an quot; hour at least from the animal's meals.quot; quot; The quot; liyposulphite,quot; says Professor Polli, quot;cannot bo quot; substituted for the sulphite, but the bisulphite quot; dissolved in water with common salt forms a good �lt; substitute in from six to eight ounce doses. If,quot; ho adds, quot; the animal refuses to drink or to take quot; in any manner the sulphite, the same salt increased quot; one-third more may bo given by enema and at the quot; same intervals of time.quot;

A statement to the same effect appeared, on Oc�tober 14th, iu the pages of the quot; Medical Times ;quot; and during this same month the attention of tho Government was called to the employment of tho quot; sulphite of soda by Dr. Andrew Smart, Edinburgh, and to the hyposulphite by Dr. J. E. Wilkinson, Sydenham, as preventive and remedial agents for the plague. Dr. Wilkinson gave especial preference to the hyposulphite over the sulphite, as he believed its action to be better suited to the state of the organism of animals suffering from the disease. Sub�sequently this agent found great favour with the public, chiefly through the recommendation of it by Mr. J. T. Noakes, Brocklcy, Kent, a well known breeder of shorthorn cattle, who was of opinion that he had preserved his herd against the plague by its use. Experiments both with tho sulphite and hypo�sulphite of soda for the prevention and the euro of plague-stricken cattle wore early made at the Royal Veterinary College, and also by several of the veterinary surgeons who had been selected to give trial to special forms of treatment, but without any real benefit accruing. Few agents were used more extensively at one time than these salts of soda by agriculturists and cattle owners, but even with this extensive trial they were found to fail.

Salts of potash, fyc.�In common with other alkaline salts, the salts of potash were largely employed both with, and without other medicinal agents,�chiefly diffusible stimulants. The chlorate and bi-carbonate were mostly relied on. No real good, however, was derived from their use.

Tho same observations may be made with reference to the employment of the acetate and tho sesquU carbonate of ammonia.

Mixed salts of soda, potash, and magnesia.�A com�pound formed of�#9632;

quot; Chloride of sodium, 3 oz. quot; Nitrate of potussa, 2 oz. quot; Carbonate of potassa, 3 oz. quot; Chlorate of potassa, 2 oz. quot; Sulphate of magnesia, 4 oz.quot;

dissolved in two quarts of boiling water and given lukewarm quot;to an ox of mature ago and strength,quot; was recommended by Dr. li. II. Allnatt, Frant, Sussex, to supply the Iojs of the salts of the blood caused by the quot; aerial poison which produced tho cattle plague.quot; This gentleman was among those who early favoured the public with his views quot; On the Nature and Treat�ment of Cattle Plague,quot; in the form of a pamphlet in

17966.

which ho strongly condemned the votorinnry advice given to the Government, and contended for tho ctir-ubility of the plague and the prophylactic property of medicine. quot;If,quot; writes Dr. Allnatt, quot;true propliylaetie quot; measures had been adopted from the begiiining, more quot; than half the now dead host of our cattle would have quot; been saved.quot; And again, quot; wo liavo been gravely quot; advised by one, who, it appears, is deemed an quot; authority, that the plague, ' having been imported quot; ' from tho Steppes of Ilussia, is not amenablo to any quot; ' kind of treatnicnt,' and so tho only remedy sug-quot; gested by tills dogmatic assertion has been tho quot; surrender of tho suffering animals to the barbarous quot; operation of the pole-axe. Thus our country, from quot; pure ignorance, is being decimated of her flocks and quot; herds, and no foundation laid for future famine.quot;

No trial of Dr. Allnatt's remedy was made by us, and whether it proved successful in his hands, or in that of others, we have had no means of knowing.

Inhalation of oxygen gas.�The inhalation of this gas was tried by Dr. Angus Smith, who was of opinion that it relieved the breathing to somo extent, but it did not appear to be otherwise of use.

Tho lloyal Commission, in alluding to tho inhala�tion of oxygen gas, remarks that quot; there was so much quot; diilicult.y in giving the gas that he. Dr. Smith, quot; attempted to introduce it by giving the animals quot; water charged with peroxide of hydrogen to drink. quot; This was also useless.quot;

Besides the inhalation of oxygen gas, the vapour of vinegar was used, at the suggestion of Dr. Bencc Jones, in conjunction with tho exhibition of various remedial agents. The experiment formed part of tho treatment adopted at the lloyal Veterinary College. It proved, however, of no real advantage.

Carbonic acid gas.�This remedy found great favour with Dr. J. Parkin, who in a pamphlet entitled quot; The Cause, Prevention, and Treatment of quot; the Cattle Plaguequot; contended that the disease had not been imported : that it had a spontaneous origin, and that its spread throughout the country was due to its epidemic nature. quot; Not only is the quot; cattle plague a true epidemic,quot; writes Dr. Parkin, quot; but what is more, it will subside after a time of quot; its own accord, even if all tho healthy and all the quot; sick wore mixed promiscuously together.quot;

For tho cure of the disease, he says, quot; the gaseous quot; form of carbon is that on which the greatest reliance quot; is to bo placed. * * * One very good method quot; of administering the gas by the month is to pour a quot; bottle of soda water down the animal's throat, care quot; being taken to prevent the escape of the gas. This quot; should be repeated every two or three hours until quot; the urgent symptoms are relieved. If more con-quot; venient, yeast, brewers' yeast, may bo substituted quot; for the soda water, or it may be given in combina-quot; tion with it. * * * If a stimulant be required, quot; as is tho case in the latter stages of the disease, quot; instead of the soda water, a bottle of porter or ale, quot; if old and well np, may be employed instead.quot;

For obvious reasons we did not ask those veterinary Burgeons who had promised to give assistance in conducting a scries of experiments in the treatment of animals affected with the plague, to try bottled porter and soda water, although the dose ordered by tho doctor for an ox might have been comfortably taken by a man, especially if engaged in dosing sick cattle.

Slt;ilts of iron.�Much good was anticipated by some persons from tho employment of the different preparations of iron. It was even asserted that animals which drank at chalybeate springs were proof against the plague ; and that the mere placing of rusty iron in water troughs would give immunity. Ex�perience soon demonstrated the fallacy of these statements, and showed that neither a prophylactic nor curntivo power belonged to any of the salts, or other medicinal compounds of iron.

The use of sulphuric acid in conjunction with tho sulphatu of iron being more extolled than other com�pounds of the metal, wo requested two or three

vctorinmy surgeons to give it a, full trial Animals wore accordingly daily dosed with it on some farms where the plague had hroken out, to ascertnin its prophylactic power, while on others it was adminis�tered to the plague-stricken cattle. In neither case did benefit accrue.

The sesqui-chloride of iron in the form of a tincture found favour with Dr. Druitt, on the ground that it possessed tonic properties, was well calculated to restrain excessive discharges, and to deodorize and disinfect the contents of the alimentary canal.

In practice, however, it failed ; and iron in every form was soon abandoned.

Arsenic. � Conjoined with various therapeutic agents, or given singly, arsenic received a fair trial. Like many other potent remedies, it seemed at first, in some cases, to be useful, and hence it was tried on an extended scale. In a large majority of instances, however, it failed completely in alleviating the symptoms of the disease.

Mineral acids.�Groat benefit was said to have been derived from the employment of these agents in different parts of tho continent, and letters reached this country in the autumn of 1865 from Russia and Poland speaking in high terms of their use. One gentleman who wrote from Russia said that he had arrested the progress of the plague, in his herd by giving the animals water to drink made sour by tho addition of sulphuric acid. This statement coinciding with the views entertained of the pathology of plague by many persons in England gave rise to a free use of mineral acids. Sulphuric, hydrochloric., nitric, nitro-hydrochloric, and other combinations were tried at the Royal Veterinary College ; by tho Edinburgh Committee, and by various surgeons and veterinary surgeons in their independent experiments.

An important experiment with mineral acid was made at our request by Mr. Claywortb, M.R.C.V.S., Spilsby. Two animals on a farm, which had not at the time been visited by the plague, were daily dosed with sulphuric acid for a week. They were then removed to another premises, and exposed to the infection, the acid, in drachm doses sufficiently diluted, being continued. The administration of the agent was carried on for a fortnight, at the end of which time both animals succumbed to tho disease, without tbe least mitigation of the symptoms having been observed.

Injection into the veins.�This plan of combating the effects of tho plague was tried by Dr. Sanderson, who employed bisulphite of soda for the purpose;-and by Mr. Crookes, who used both the sulphite and bisulphite of soda, and also diluted carbolic acid. None of the experiments however, were sufficiently successful as to lead to their further prosecution.

Besides the injection of antiseptic agents into the circulation ; it was proposed by Dr. Markham and by Dr. Crisp to inject defibrinated blood. Whether experiments of the kind were undertaken, we are unable to say, but the recommendation was worthy of trial. The sarao thing may be said of Dr. Richard�son's proposition to inject an artificially prepared quot; chyle into the veins, quot;made by subjecting (he quot; ordinary food of cattle to artificial digestion out of quot; the body.quot; It was intended that the fluid thus ob�tained should be injected into the circulation at a temperature of 90deg; Fahrenheit, No experiments of tho kind were, we believe, made.

quot;t'he hypodermic method of treatment�Tho in�troduction of mediclnol agents beneath the skin, was tested at tho Eoyal Veterinary College, by Dr. Denco Jones and the Professors of the institution. It was aho tried by other investigators in various parts of tho country. Dr. Sanderson gave trial to it in his experiments of inoculation ; but rather as a pre�ventive than u curative means.

The agents employed at the college were tincture of opium, tincture of assafoatida, and tincture of quassia. Dr. .Sanderson used n solution of the hi-sulphitc of soda, and Mr. I'ricstman, M.R.C.V.S. tried chloroform.

A certain amount of success attended tho hypo�dermic plan of .medication in some cases, but not suffi-cieut to justify its gonernl adoption.

The vapour bath.�The merits of the vapour bath wore spoken of in high terms hy a Russian stock-owner and farmer�II. F. Fouling�in tho following letter to Her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Peters�burg :�

quot; Sir,nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Taluoo, Sept. 8, 18G5.

I beg to bo allowed to make known, for the benefit of all, a remedy against tho ' typhus bovilis ' now raging in England. quot;When this disease broke out in tho Ukraine during tho Crimean War, it was of such eminent service to mo that of 60O head of cattle I lost but 6 per cent. The remedy is simply the following :�As soon as the first symptom of the malady (dryness of the skin) shows itself, tho diseased animal should bo placed in a vapour bath, the moist temperature of which should bo such as not to cause too great a difficulty in breathing. Then the animal should bo rubbed dry ; covered over with several woollen blankets, and put in a stall thoroughly sheltered from draughts ; the greatest care being taken to prevent its catching cold. This is of the utmost importance in the treatment. Cooling draughts and food easily digested are then to be given. This simple treatment has already twice saved me in Russia from great losses. For tho last one and thirty years I have farmed and bred cattle. Tho first thirteen years I spent in Mecklenburg, and the last eighteen in Russia, whore I managed the large estates of Count A. Bobrinsky. I then remained abroad for a short time, and now for three years I have leased a farm belonging to Count P. Schouvalotf. Both estates are in the government of Kieff. From my heart I trust this simple treatment may be of as much service to my fellow-farmers in Englond as it has heen to me, raquo;nd I entreat your Exeellencj', in the general interest, to cause the greatest possible publicity to be given to this treatment. The vapour bath I used was of a very primitive construction, and consisted of a room, the floor of which was not level, but raised at one end, so that the animal could bo brought by degrees into a higher temperature. The steam I obtained by means of an oven covered with iron plates, on which water was poured after the room had been already heated to a temperature of thirty-five degrees Reaumur.quot;

(Signed) H. P. Peuling. His Excellency Sir A. Buchanan, K.C.B., amp;c.quot;

The experience which was gained in this country of the action of the vapour bath in cattle plague did not, however, support Mr. Feuling's recommendation of it. In many cases where it was tested the only apparent effect was an increase in the severity of tho symptoms.

Altered circumstances must, however, be taken into account; Russian cattle do not often suffer from the plague so severely ns tho cattle in this country; a fact which may possibly account for the remarkable difference in the results of tho application of the bath.

Tho Edinburgh Committee arc reported to have used the vapour bath with some amount of success, Bcs'.des those who were energetic in their advocacy of the sweating system as a cure for cattle plague, many advocates for i(s employment as an universal thera�peutic agent were found. Vapour baths, more or less perfectly arranged, were therefore used as adjuncts to other plans of treatment, both homccopathic and allopathic. Among other persons, Mr. Sweetland of Ilendon creeled a very complete one at considerable expense, and fairly tested its use. In alluding to this bath, Mr. Howard Reed, in his paper on the plague, published in the Royal Agricultural Journal, says, quot; a chamber was prepared with tho floor rising quot; to one end. The animal stood with his head quot; at the upper end in tho neighbourliood of a quot; supply of fresh air. Tho laquo;nmedicated vapour of

laquo;' boiling water kept tho temporaturo up to 120deg;, and �* to tho animals thomsolvos this was incioasod by a quot; covering of three blankets, through which the por-quot; spiratiou poured. Tho duration of each bath was quot; half an hour; some animals wore bathed threo quot; times, but out of eight cases tried no cure resulted.quot; Failure also attended tho use of tho vapour bath at tho Royal Veterinary Collego.

The Turkish bath.�Tho use of tho hot air bath proved equally inefficacious as that of tho vapour bath. Trial was given to tho Turkish bath by several persons, and among them by the Right Honour�able tho Speaker. It was also used at the sanitarium which was set up at Nowcastle-upon-Tyne.

Early in January 1866, we were informed by tho Speaker that tho employment of tho Turkish bath had proved most unsuccessful in the treatmont of his own cattle. Mr. Stevenson, veterinary surgeon, Newcastle, also reported about tho same time, that placing animals in the bath was found in almost every instance to hasten their death. A similar result was recorded by other experimenters,

Mr. fVorms's cure.�Among the remedies which found the greatest favour with tho public may be named the one introduced by Mr. Worms. As a resident and large coffee plantation owner in Ceylon Mr, Worms had become familiar with a disease affect�ing the cattle of that country, which he considered to be identical with cattle plague, and which he had found in very many instances to yield readily to treatment. This gentleman was consequently very desirous of giving trial to the same method here, and while staying at Egham Lodge, near Windsor, he availed himself of an opportunity, afforded by an out�break of the plague on tho farm of Mr. Anderson at Datchett, of so doing. Within a few days of this experiment, viz. on February 5th, 1866, a letter was published in tho quot; Times,quot; setting forth that quot; five of quot; the animals which had been attacked were well in quot; twenty-four hours after his, Mr. Worms', able treat-quot; ment. Since then eight more have been taken with quot; the disease, and are perfectly well. Two other cows, quot; which were ill five days before Mr, Worms had quot; arrived, and which the latter told Mr, Anderson quot; would not recover, are since dead,quot; Mr, Anderson, it was added, had quot; great faith in Mr. Worms' treat-

These instances are quoted as examples of tho numerous failures which attended tlio attempts made to cure the cattle plague by Mr, Worms' .system. So groat, indeed, was the exeitoment on tho subject, that hundreds of converts were to bo found in every part of tho country. The adage that quot; drowning men catch at strawsquot; has rarely received a more full con�firmation than it did with reference to this matter. Little, however, was to be expected from an odor�iferous mixture of onions, garlic, and assafrotida, of which the medicine was chiefly composed. One con-sequenco did follow, and that was n rise of a pound per ton in the price of onions, and a scarcity of assafootida in the drug market, so sudden was tho demand for these agents.

In a pamphlet entitled quot;Cure of the Rinderpest,quot; published by Mr. Worms, it is said that quot; in order to quot; discover the disease, tho animal's mouth should be quot; opened, and the breath smelt. If tJie breath be at all quot; offensive, the medicine should he given without a quot; moment's delay. It is also advisable to examine quot; the dung, which, when tho animal is affected, quot; becomes peculiarly offensive. After tho medicine quot; has boon administered, tho animal shonld be kept quot; warm, and the stable or shed well ventilated and quot; disinfected with chloride of lime. All infected quot; animals should at once bo separated from those in quot; good health.quot;

Medicine.

quot; Take a pound of small red pickling onions, and quot; a pound of garlic, peel them, put them together quot; into a mortar, and reduce them to a fine pulp ; to quot; this pulp add a pound of ground ginger, and mix quot; thoroughly,

quot; Take three-quarters of a pound of assafootida, quot; pour sufflcitnt water over it to cover it, then allow quot; it to boil till no sediment remains, carefully re-quot; moving all hard portions. Pour this decoction of quot; assafootida over the pulp of onions, garlic, and ginger, quot; and stir tho whole mass thoroughly. Add to this quot; eight quarts of rice water, and allow it to cool. quot; This is sufficient for 14 full-grown animals.quot;

An outbreak of cattle plague occurring at thjuncture at Lord Leigh's, Stoneleigh Abbey, his lordship telegraphed for Mr, Worms to go down, ansuperintend the treatment of the animals. In thinstance it also appeared, from communications to thdaily papers, that tho disease was at once arresteTwenty-four animals were reported as being restoreto health, and taking their food as usual, in tweutfour hours from the exbibition of the medicine.

The third trial was made at Mcntmore, on cattbelonging to Baron Meyer do Rothschild. Here alat the outset tho public learned that success attendethe treatment. The success, however, proved to bvery short lived. It turned out that many of thso-called cures had been made on animals which hnot^yct sickened with the plague, and that the realdiseased cattle were not benefited by the treatmenThe ultimate loss, therefore, both to Lord Leigh anBaron Rothschild proved very heavy.

In Mr. Anderson's case the result was precisesimilav. In a private letter, dated February 12tli, 186Mr. Simpson, M.R.C.V.8, Windsor, writes, that orquot; ginally Mr. Anderson had thirty head of cattlequot; cows, heifers, and calves ;�at this time he hquot; not a single one left. All, including the ' thirtequot; ' cured animals,' have succumbed to the plaguquot; The last three I saw put into a grave this ai'tequot; noon.

The quot; animal is to be fed, during two days, three times a quot; day, with thick rice gruel, and, at each meal, may quot; have a handful of sweet hay. Should tho animals quot; bo nccustomed to roots, they may on the third day, quot; have a quarter of their allowance in two meals with-quot; out rice ; on the fourth day, half their portion, and quot; so on,quot;

APPKNDIX II. TO THE llEPOUT ON THE

Chloroform inlmlatioiiB avovo first advocated by Or. S. Dickson, \y1io drew attention to tho valao of

chlorofurm as ti febrifuge iraquo; liiraquo; coiiimuiiicaiionsto (lraquo;o daily papora at tho bogtuning of 18()�. quot;Thovo is no quot; fover, writea Dr. Dioksou in his first Icttor dated January 4th, 18(56, quot;for which in man 1 liavo not quot; found ohloi'oform, aw a rale, ono of tho first of quot; febrifViges. And there can bo no possiblo inistnko quot; horo, for its fobrifugal influenco #9632;where it agrees, is quot; all but instantaneous.quot; Alluding to his desire to give trial to tho agent in cattle plague, ho wiys in an appendix to his work quot; On the Fallacies of tho quot; Faculty,quot; published subsequently to the letters alluded to, that quot; .some years ago, when pleuro-quot; pnoumonia was rii'o among cattle, a herd of quot; cows on a farm in Berkshire was attacked by iho quot; then dreaded ' lung disease.' Every ono of tho quot; 18 beasts composing this herd was subjected to tho quot; usual veterinary treatment. All save one perished. quot; That solitary cow, after having, like tho others, quot; been bled, purged, and blistered, was given up for quot; lost by tho vetorinarinn in charge. A friend of tho quot; proprietor, who chanced to bo there on n visit, '^; proposed a trial of chloroform. A ootton handker-quot; chief, saturated with an ounco of chloroform was quot; put into a nose-bag, and duly buckled to the quot; animal's head and nose in the usual manner. When quot; the beast fell to tho ground the bag was removed, quot; and in ten minutes alter, when the insensibility quot; produced by the chloroform inhalation had passed quot; away, the poor cow, notwithstanding its previous quot; medical punishment, rose vip cured.quot;

With reference to the application of chloroform inha�lations in cases of cattle plague, Ur. Dickson states that the quot; first five animals so treated were not chloro-quot; formed by a professional person. These five beasts quot; were all subjected to the inhaling process at my quot; instance by Anthony Hammond, Esq., of Westacro quot; Park, a magistrate for the county of Norfolk.quot; In describing his proceedings in a letter to Ur. Dick-son, Mr. Hammond says, quot;the subject of the first quot; case treated in this manner was a cow. On re-quot; covering from the trance she was a different crea-quot; ture, her whole appearance was changed. Ona quot; opera/ion sufficed for her cure.quot; In the second case, the chloroform was used twice wilh the interval of a day between the inhalations ; this animal also recovered. Of the other three cows similarly treated, two recovered and one died, deferring to the fatal case, Mr. Hammond states that the death of this animal was due to quot; the yardman, who overstuffed her, she quot; being at the time much constipated.quot;

Six other cows were subsequently treated in tho same manner, four of which died and two recovered. These cases Mr. Hammond describes as quot; virulent,quot; and the deaths, he says quot;may bo in a great measure quot; attributed to the cold easterly wind now pre-quot; vailing.quot; quot; Possibly,quot; adds Dr. Dickson, quot; the quot; inhaling process on a first trial or two was not very quot; skilfully performed.quot;

The same appendix contains letters from the Rev. J. F. Francklin, M.A., Vicar of Whaplode, Lin�colnshire, and Mr. H. W. Ulyth, Sussex Farm, Lynn, a magistrate for the county of Norfolk. The first-named gentleman says, in his communication dated March 13th 1866, that he tried the effect of chloroform, quot; under the quot; sanction of an inspector, upon a beast which was quot; dying, belonging to a farmerquot; in his parish, and that the quot; farmer also used the same means to another quot; beast which was suffering from tho plague, and quot; both animals are alive at present.quot; He adds, quot; two quot; farmers in Holbeach whoso yards were, affected quot; used chloroform as advised by Dr. Dickson and *' Mr. Hammond, and in all the cases�in ono yard quot; there were 16 beasts ill of the plague�success has, quot; up to this time, marked the treatment.quot;

Mr. lilyth writes, quot; Between the 3d and lOth of quot; March the whole of my grazing and store cattle quot; had to be sold or slaughtered in consequence of quot; the plague having broken out in my yarda. On quot; tho l�th, my six cows showed unmistakcable signs

quot; that the fever was upon thern, I then immediatoly quot; applied tho chloroform to three, and two days nfter-quot; wards to nil six. Following your diroetioiiH, wo quot; udministered tho dose as often as tho fever re-quot; turned, which it did at intervals varying from 12 to quot; 24 hours. It took 10 days to effect the first euro, quot; and 16 to cure tho whole. I know it is high quot; treason to talk of curing the plague, I will therefore quot; only say that my cows are apparently restored to quot; health after a violent attack of fever, such as I saw quot; in cattlo condemned, soino to die by tho butcher's quot; knife, and some to bo shot and buried seven feot quot; deep in the ground under bushels of quicklhno.quot;

In a letter, bearing date April �th 1866, forwarded by Dr. Dickson to tho quot; Morning Advertiser,quot; ho says, quot; I have this morning heen favoured by quot; Mr. G. Collins, tho Agent to Mr. Legh, Cheshire, quot; with some details of tho effects of chloroform in the quot; rinderpest on farms belonging to that gentleman.quot; From these details it appears that seven out of ten animals recovered and three died. Mr. Collins states, that quot;one beast on the farm of Mr. G. Stevens' quot; did well for a time, when turpentine was given. quot; It lias since died ; and on another farm where, after quot; the chloroform, new hay was allowed, anil where quot; there moreover was great inattention to the animals, quot; of twelve very bad cases only four recovered.quot;

Alluding to the employment of inhalations of chloroform to the animals belonging to Mr. Hugh Ayltner, West Dercham, Norfolk, Dr. Dickson says quot; that of 79 cases for which this energetic febrifuge quot; was used, 41 made a good recovery. To prevent quot; pecuniary loss, the remaining 38 being in a bad state quot; were killed, a measure justified by tho state of the quot; hw, which denies the farmer compensation for all quot; animals allowed to die a natural death. Some few of quot; these beasts had they not been settled by the rifle quot; might possibly have escaped. As it happened how-quot; ever, more than one half of tho animals submitted quot; to tho chloroform treatment recovered.quot;

An investigation of these cases, undertaken by tho direction of the Lords of the Council, showed that tho cattlo plague was first observed among Mr. Aylmer's stock on April 4th 1866, at which time it was illegal, unless sanctioned by the Lords of the Council, to treat animals affected with the plague. Notwithstanding this, tho herd being a valuable one, treatment was carried out, day by day ; and on this fact becoming known at about the beginning of May, tho Veterinary Department of the Privy Council was instructed to make enquiry into the matter. At this juncture a memorial was forwarded to the Lords of the Council praying that a licence to treat the diseased cattlo might be granted, as the success of the means employed had been such as to justify a continuance of their use. The report of the enquiry, ordered by Lords of the Council, dated May 24th 1866, set forth that Mr. Ayl�mer's herd originally numbered 90 animals, and that at the time of the outbreak of the disease it was divided into three lots, each being placed on a separate farm, known respectively as tho quot;Abbey,quot; quot; Fen,quot; and quot; White House farms'.quot; The plague was observed on the Abbey farm on April 4th, and on the following day it was believed to have broken out at the Fen farm, distant about a mile and half. Be this as it may, seven days afterwards, viz., April 12th, the plogue made its appearance at tho White House farm.

Six healthy oxen were killed and sold to tho butcher as soon as the discovery was made. The first five animals also which were attacked at tho Abbey farm were not subjected to treatment, but wore killed and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the law.

At tho time of the supposed outbreak on the Fen farm, nine in-calf heifers were kept there in an enclosed yard, perfectly isolated and surrounded by high walls, with closely boarded doors. Ono of the animals showed symptoms of ill-health on April 5tn, and was thereupon removed from the others. No treatment was adopted, and the animal died

tyro dayraquo; afterwards. The remaining eight heifers continued well, however, until the 13th of April, when nil of them are said to have given indications of being attacked with the plague. The circumstance of so many animals being slmultnneously affocted, out of so small an original number, is probably without a prece�dent in the history of cattle plague, and as every one of them is said to have recovered after a few inhala�tions of chloroform, it may be reasonably donbted, when all the circumstances are fairly considered, whether the animal which had died was the subject of the plague.

The report also showed that 18 animals were then under treatment, and that three of this number had been so from April 19th and 25tli, and May 6th respectively. It further set forth that these three animals were found on examination to be only then. May 23rd, in the early stage of the plague, thereby proving that the treatment had in these instances been commenced long before the attack.

In accordance with the request contained in the memorial, the Lords of the Council reserved seven animals for treatment at the White House farm, by Order dated June 2d 1866. One of these was then suffering from the plague, but the others gave no indi�cations of the disease. They had, however, been exposed to the infeation. The diseased animal, an eight-months-old heifer, was the only one remaining alive of the three alluded to as having been placed under treatment prior to the attack of the disease. She continued to inhale chloroform until Juno 16th, when her recovery appeared to be complete, although she was left in a very debilitated condition.

The history of this ease is very remarkable. The inhalations of chloroform had been begun on April 19th, and continued until June 16th ; no less than 73 doses of the agent having been given during this period. When inspected on May 23rd, this heifer was found to be suffering from the cattle plague only in its early stage, and therefore she must necessarily have been quite free from the disease when first subjected to treatment on April 19tb. Under these circumstances no inference can be drawn as to the remedial value of chloroform in this particular case.

The other six reserved animals were not attacked, which would seem to show that chloroform, being used so continuously and in such large quantitiea on the premises, had acted as a disinfectant.

Reverting to Dr. Dickson's statement quot; that of 79 animals treated, 41 made a good recovery;quot; it may be observed that as several of them were not the sub�jects of cattle plague, although taking chloroform inha�lations, it is difficult to estimate precisely how much of the final result was due to the curative influence of chloroform. That the antiseptic or disinfecting properties of the agent, as also the good nursing bestowed on the animals, and the adoption of a carefully regulated dietary, than which nothing could be more perfectly carried out, had a material influence in bringing about this result, cannot be doubted.

In addition to the experiments which were had recourse to on Mr. Ayhner's farm, inhalations of chloro�form were fried in several parts of the country. They were also nsed in the county of Norfolk on some sheep BufTering from cattle plague, but none of the experi�ments were carried out in a manner to lead to any correct conclusions of the value of the agent being drawn from them.

Before, therefore, the question of the therapeutic cflReacy of chloroform in cattle plague can be decisively answered, it will be necessary to seek for evidence of a much more precise character than any which has yet been obtained.

It was rightly observed by the Royal Commis�sion, that quot; no remedy can be pronounced success-quot; fill until its actual operation has been accurately quot; and repeatedly watched, or else until it is known to quot; have bepn followed by uniformly favourable rcHults quot; in a very large number of cases.

Chloric athct; as a remedy for cattle plague, was fairly tested by Mr. I'ricstman in the London cow sheds. Of 45 cows which were treated under Mr, I'riestnnin'b personal inspection 25 recovered; 21 being Dutch,

and 4, English cows. In other experiments, how�ever, the diseased cows had to be Hlaughteretl, chiefly in consequence of the diflieulty of getting the instruc�tions properly carried into effect. The modicino was exhibited in doses of two ounces every eight hours. In the cases in which the animals showed a desire to take food, they were allowed bran mashes, boded linseed, and oatmeal gruel, in modernte quantities, but all solid food was strictly interdicted. It was observed that a disregard of this injunction was fol�lowed by an increase of the severity of the symptoms in animals which were seemingly progressing favour�ably. Indeed partial restoration led their owners to give them what they considered a more sustaining diet, and thus unwittingly to add to the danger of the attack.^

Homoiopathic Treatment.�In the earlier period of the outbreak of cattle plague, believers in homccopathy anticipated great results from its adoption ns a pre�ventive and curative means. Exaggerated reports of the effects of homoeopathic medicines upon cattle affected with plague were quickly promulgated, and were largely credited.

Dr. Hamilton, in his report upon the treatment of cases of cattle plague in South Ilollnnd, states that under allopathic treatment, chiefly consisting of the use of mineral acids, combined with tonics, and the employ�ment of disinfectants, 1,752 animals had recovered, out of 6,093 which had been attacked up to October 28, 1865. Further, that homveopathio remedies, arseni-cum, phosphorus, and rhus toxicodendron, were much more successful; the recoveries amounting to 72 per cent., while under the allopathic system 42 per cent, only were saved.

This favourable result of both systems, doubtless depended in part on the fact, which was observed in England, viz., that Dutch cattle wore as a rule less virulently attacked by cattle plague than English beasts. Treatment of cattle plague animals led neces�sarily to an extension of the disease in Holland, and consequently it was finally found necessary there as well as elsewhere to have recourse to the stamping-out system to stay the progress of the plague. The adoption of this was quickly followed by the cessation of the malady, but not until enormous losses had been incurred.

Numerous experiments with homoeopathic remedies wore also tried in this country under the direction of a committee composed of the Duke of Marlborough, Earl Amherst, Earl Grosvenor, Lord Ebury, and several other noblemen and gentlemen. The Boyal Commissioners likewise took steps to ascertain (he effects of homoeopathic treatment of animals affected with cattle plague, and veterinary surgeon T. W. Mayer, Royal Engineer Train, was selected to watch experi�ments carried out in Norfolk. Forty-five animals were placed in succession under the management of Mr. Moore, a veterinary surgeon of great cxpenenco^ in the hommopathio treatment of the diseases of domestic animals. From Mr. Mayer's report of the experiments, it appears that every care was taken in reference to diet and general hygiene. The excreta were removed immediately, and nothing but soft food allowed the animals. Attendants were em�ployed day and night in administering the medicines at short intervals; in fact, an amount of time and attention was devoted to carrying out the directions of the superintending veterinary surgeon, which would not have been demanded by any allopathic practitioner, and most certainly in most instances would not have been willingly accorded.

Mr. Mayer's report further showed that, of the 45 animals treated, 40 died, and 4 recovered, while one showed so little indication of disenso, as to ho un�registered by him as a case of plague.

Equally discouraging were the results of homoeo�pathic remedies in other parts of the country j and it may be said of this, as of each method of medicinal treatment employed, that, when fairly tested, it failed completely to cure the cattle plague.

Upon the general question of tho curability of cattle plague little more need be said. Alaquo; has been already observed, veterinary authorities in this

326

AfPBNDIX II. TO THE laquo;BrOUT ON THE

country were severally censured, not only by owners of stock, but also by many moinbors of the medical profession, because they abandoned all hope of era�dicating the disease by the employment of modieino, and advised what was designated the butchering system instead. The objectors failed to compre�hend that the problem which was given to the veterinary profession to solve, was not how to treat the disease, but how to eradicate it. Most veterinary practitioners would have found it more instructive and also more remunerative, to attempt to cure cattle sick of the plague, than to kill them ; nevertheless, they carried out the Orders of Council at the expense of their practice.

Experiments in the thefapentio treatment of cattle plague arc unquestionably of great interest to medical science, and past experience clearly indicates the direction in which they might bo carried with a hope of advantage ; but it must bo admitted that in the

interests of the country such inquiries ore to be depre�cated, except in very special cases, and under remark�ably favourable circumstances.

As elsewhere stated, rapid extension of the disease may bo anticipated whenever medical treatment is generally adopted, and every life saved is gained at the expense of others lost in consequence of the spread of infection. The danger would doubtless bo mate�rially lessened if a proper system of procedure of universal application were organized, and all diseased cattle kept for treatment within cordons, and subjected to the same regulations which are enforced on the continent. .Under any conditions, however, it is to bo feared that great risk of establishing the disease in the country would bo incurred. Indeed, past experience quite justifies the recommendation of the quot; stainping-out system,quot; as the only effectual method of dealing with cattle plague.

Preventive Measures.

The incurability of the cattle plague, was no sooner recognized by the public than attention was directed to moans by which, it was hoped, the disease might bo prevented. Several of the methods employed have already been alluded to, but others remain to bo described. In general terms, preventive measures admit of being classified under three distinct heads :�#9632; Ist. Those which render the uninfected animals

proof against the action of the virus. 2d. The keeping of animals out of the reach of the

infection. 3d. The neutralisation of the poison by the use of disinfectants.

For the attainment of the first object, the follow�ing methods were adopted : Inoculation with cattle plague matter; Vaccination with ordinary cow-pox lymph; Administration of antiseptic medicines es�pecially carbolic acid, far, camphor, sulphite and hyposulphite of soda, and permanganate of potash; In�halation of sulphurous acid, chlorine gas, oxygen, amp;c.

Inoculation toith the virus of Cattle Plague.

The introduction of the matter of an infectious disease for the purpose of securing man or animal against a subsequent attack of the same disease is based ni)()n the assumption that the organism is not sus�ceptible a second time to the influence of the Con-tagium, and that the artificially produced disease is more benign, ergo, less dangerous to life than the naturally contracted malady.

A permanent objection to the adoption of the system, however, presents itself; for inoculation tends to perpetuate the disease in the country where it is carried out, and hence unprotected individuals are liable to receive the malady from the inoculated, and in a form as virulent as that which is naturally induced.

About the year 1720, inoculation as a preventive of natural small-pox of man, was introduced into England from the East, where it had long been practised. It slowly made its way at first, but in about 26 years it had risen so much in public estima�tion as to lead to the erection of a Small-pox Hospital, on the site now occupied by the station of the Great Northern Railway at King's Cross. The erection of this hospital marks, not only nn epoch in the history of small-pox, but also of the cattle plague; this disease having broken out in this country in 1745. Doubtless the inoculation of man for the mitigation of small-pox, soon led the way to the inoculation of cattle to secure them against a naturnl attack of cattle plague, a disease which was considered by Dr. Layard and others, to be of a variolous nature.

Cattle inoculation appears to have been begun in 1754. In Holland the system wos carried out to a greater extent than here, having found favour with Camper, who did much to promote it. To Munnicks belongs also much credit, as it was to him that Camper intrusted the completion of experiments which ho had begun. Camper is, however, believed to have obtained

his views of inoculation to lessen the malignancy of small-pox of man by his visit to England in 1748, a little before the devotion of his talents to the practice of physic.

History does not record the name of the original operator, or chief promoter of cattle inoculation in England, although mention is made of experiments conducted by Dodson, Layard, and Bewley. In 1757 Layard speaks of experience having shown that inocu�lation was a most certain and safe method of preventing the quot; contagious distemper of horned cattlequot; and in his essay on the subject, ho narrates several successful cases. He also gives directions for the preparation of the animals by bleeding and moderate diet, as well as for the proper performance of the operation, and the subsequent treatment of those inoculated. No doubt can therefore exist as to the part Layard took in pro�moting this system of mitigating the plague.

Much valuable information is given by Dr. San�derson in his report to the Eoyal Commission on the subject of cattle inoculation, part of which we here repeat. Dr. Sanderson says that according to F. Un-terberger. Director of the Veterinary School at Dorpat, quot; inoculation was first recommended as a prophylactic quot; against cattle plague in the Steppes by Walz in laquo; 1803, subsequently by Viborg in 1809, and still quot; later by Jessen in 1834, and by Spinola in 1846.quot;

In the year 1852 the Russian Government ap�pointed a commission to inquire into the best means of extinguishing the cattle plague. After receiving much valuable information the commission concluded quot; that the employment of measures of quarantine to quot; prevent the diffusion of cattle plague by contagion quot; could not be entertained so long as the land of the quot; disease could not be defined with certainty,quot; and recommended, after adverting quot; to the favourable quot; results which had been obtained in other countries quot; by inoculation, both in former times and more quot; recently, that experiments should be made with quot; reference to it. In adopting this course, they were quot; much influenced by the treatise of Professor quot; Jessen ' On the complete eradication of Cattle quot; Plague.'quot;

The experiments were commenced in 1853, first in tho Governments of Kharkov, Orenburg and Koursk, and subsequently in Cherson and Viatka. Tho most striking results were obtained in Kharkov and Koursk, where 60 died and 999 recovered out of 1,059 animals that were inoculated. Further experi�ments were undertaken in Cherson in 1854 under the tho supervision of Professor Unterberger himself, who determined to employ virus taken from animals in which the disease has assumed an cxantkematous character, by which means he thought that the end he had in view, namely, that of obtaining-n mitigated virus, would be promoted.

The results of the first experiments, which were made in the south of Russia near Odessa, exceeded Untcrbcrger's expectations. Of 64 animals inocu�lated with the selected virus only one apparently

327

suffered any constitutional disturbanco ; quot;a second quot; died, but not of the plague.quot; To test the pro-tectivo power of this modified system of inocula�tion, 20 of the experimental cattle, with 11 others which had subsequently been inoculated with the smne description of virus, were sent to quot;Helenentbel, a quot; German colony in the neighbourhood where cattle quot; plague raged in a malignant form; here every quot; possible test was applied, but all tho animals re-quot; mained healthy. As, however, 32 uninoculatcd quot; animals passed through tho same tests with similar quot; immunity no conclusion could be derived from the quot; results.quot;

In 1854 some allied experiments were performed by Unterborger and Jessen and with a similar result as to the mitigated character of the inoculated disenso. These animals, ns well as those inoculated in 1853, remained healthy on being subject to counter tests. Subsequently, however, viz., in 1855, cattle plague broke out among somo animals inoculated after the same manner on their being sent into Bessarabia to test its protective power. This result was, however, attributed to a want of sufficient care in tho selection of the virus, and Unterbergcr adds that he was confirmed in this view by tho result of the final test experiments which he made in 1857 in tho Govern�ments of Kharkov, Mohilow, and Smolensk. These test experiments consisted of exposing twelve inocu�lated bullocks and two uninoculalcd calves to tho contagion by placing them for two nights quot;in a quot; stable in which many animals had died of the quot; disease and in which the bodies of the dead animals -quot; and the discharges of the living were exposed.quot; In addition to this the twelve bullocks were re-inocu�lated and one of tho calves inoculated in the usual manner, quot;and at the same time the virulent dis-quot; charges were rubbed into their nostrils.quot; A few days subsequently quot; they were all exposed again to quot; the contagion by being put into a stable with quot; diseased cattle. No effect following in eight days, quot; they were fed out of the hides of oxen that had quot; died of the disease, and had their noses rubbed with quot; infected blood. After remaining two weeks, all quot; excepting the calf which had not been inoculated quot; remained healthy.quot; This calf sickened with the plague on the llth day subsequent to tho second exposure, and died three days afterwards.

It was thus hoped that the protective value of this system of inoculation, the non-development of con�stitutional symptoms by the use of the mitigated virus, was fully established ; but in 1862 a series of experi�ments made at Dorpat proved most disastrous in their results. Further experiments were subsequently made in the south of Russia with reference to which Unterberger observes, quot; every illusion as to the value quot; of inoculation as a prophylactic was dispelled from quot; the scientific mind when Professor Roschnow pub-quot; lished his report on the observations made in the quot; inoculation establishments in the provinces of quot; Cherson and Orenburg in 18G4.quot;

The conclusions ultimately arrived at wore :�

quot; 1st. That inoculated cattle in which the opera-quot; tion docs not give rise to the symptoms of quot; plague must not be regarded as protected.quot;

'^nd. That the loss which is occasioned by suc�cessful inoculation is relatively great.quot;

quot; 3rd. That the mitigation of cattle plague virus, on quot; which there were reasons to build such great quot; expectationa, has not proved to be of value.quot;

Unterberger further records his opinion that ordi�nary inoculation ought not to be employed in the Steppes without the special permission of private stock owners, for the reason that tho inoculated disease is quite as contagious as that which is pro�duced by natural infection ; and that in countries in which it is impossible to organize a quot; veterinary police quot; the danger of the spread of the cattle plague is in proportion to tho extent of the inoculations.

Professor Jessen dissents from such conclusions being deduced from (ho experiments. quot;Ho believes laquo; thut animals which havo been inoculated, even if

quot; tlioy hnvo not oxhihltod thereafter marked signs of quot; cattlo plague, may yet bo protected j und m regards quot; mitigation of (he virus by successivo inoculationraquo;, quot; he thinks (hero are as many facts in favour of it quot; ns against it. Referring to the oiroumstanoe that quot; between Novomber 18�7 and Deeomlier 1801,719 quot; cattle were inoculated, of which 39, or five and a quot; half per cent, died, he asks the question, would quot; not every stock owner in the Steppes gladly quot; sacrifico so small a proportion of his young cattlo quot; if ho could protect his herds from rinderpest?quot;

Allusion has already been made to tho eircumstanco that for the purpose of giving incrensed facilities for carrying out oxperimontnl inoculation, several insti�tutions huvo been established in Russia. One of these is founded at Salmysch, province of Orenburg, a second at Bondarewka in Cherson, and n third at Karlowka. Tho Bondarewka institution is under tho superintendence of Professor Roschnow, and that at Karlowka of Veterinary Surgeon Mnx llaupach. These institutions do not appear to have been well supported, although it is said that the experiments havo been attended with success. From tho experi�ence gained at Karlowka, Raupach concludes quot; that quot; inoculation is the only important means of sup-quot; pressing cattlo plague, and is further of opinion quot; that veterinary police regulations never have been quot; of any advantage and laquo;ever will be, for in Austria quot; tho epizooctic has not been kept out, or prevented quot; from spreading, and remaining for many years in quot; spito of the most stringent measures of quaran-quot; tine and of isolation and the application of the quot; poloaxe.quot;

*nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;*nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;raquo;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;raquo;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;raquo;

quot;When an animal is brought to the institution for quot; inoculation, the owner is required to state the quot; value and to pay one fifth to defray the expenses laquo; of its keep during the eight weeks that it remains quot; in the establishment. At the end of this time if it quot; recovers it is restored to the owner in good con-quot; dition, if it dies from any cause in the institution quot; or from cattle plague at any subsequent period, he quot; is entitled to the full value originally set upon it. quot; Every animal is marked with a peculiar brand on quot; leaving the establishment. Raupach says that quot; during the eight years (1857-65) that the institu-quot; tion has existed, not a single branded animal had quot; died of cattle plague, although many of thcni had quot; been kept for several weeks with herds decimated quot; by the disease, of which three outbreaks had quot; occurred since 1857.quot; It appears that in all 1,119 animals have heen inoculated in this institution during the eight years alluded to.

Among the most successful cases of inoculation which have hitherto been obtained in Russia, are those of the cattle belonging to the Grand Duchess Helena Paulownu. The inoculations were undertaken by Raupach on tho Duchess' estate at Karlowka, and quot; were performed in two series. The animals of tho quot; 1st series were inoculated in three batches, viz., on quot; the 12th, 21st, and 29th Juno 18S4, and those of quot; tho second series in five batches, viz., on July 27th, laquo; August 9th, 18th, 26th, and September 17th. Six quot; yearling calves of the Steppo breed wore first quot; inoculated, June 12th, with virus taken 34 hours quot; previously from an animal affected with natural quot; cattlo plague, All became ill and one died.quot;

quot;June 21. Thirty-six yearling calves wore inocu-quot; latcd from three of the first batch. Distinct and quot; severe symptoms appeared in all; in 21 on tho 7th quot; day, 13 on the 8th day, nud 2 on tho 9th clay. quot; Five died.quot;

quot; June 29th. A hundred and thirty-six animals, quot; comprising 129 oxen from two and a half to three quot; and a half years old, nnd 16 steers were inoculated quot; from two of tho second batch. Thirty-five took quot; ill on the Cth day, 44 on tho 7th, 36 on the 8(h, quot; and 21 on the 9th. Five died.quot;

quot;August 26. Ten animals, including two oxen, quot; six steers, and two bull calves were inoculated quot; from the last batch. One was affected on the 6tli quot; day, two took ill on the 7th, and seven on the 8th, quot; None suffered severely and all recovered. N.B.� quot; All the animals above mentioned wore of the Steppo laquo; breed.quot;

quot;On the same day four oxen of pure Devon breed quot; -were inoculated with the same virus. Well marked quot; symptoms presented themselves, followed by death quot; between the 6th and 9th day after inoculation.quot;

quot; September 17. Twelve year-old Steppe oxen quot; were inoculated with virus which had been taken quot; 15 days before from one of the six steers of the last quot; batch! Eleven took ill on the seventh day, and one on the eighth. One died.quot; Thus, it appears that out of 333 animals, including the lour Devons, which were inoculated in four months, 24 died.

To these particulars we add the quot; Conclusions of quot; the Russian Commission us to the inoculation of quot; Cattle Plague,quot; published in 186.5, and transmitted to the Foreign Office by Her Majesty's Minister at St. Petersburg. The extract is taken from Dr. San�derson's report.

quot; After stating their opinion that Cattle Plague is quot; analogous to typhoid, a gastric fever (differing from quot; it in the existence of general catarrhal infiainina-quot; tlon of the mucous membranes and particularly of quot; the alimentary canal); that the place from which quot; it originates cannot bo ascertained ; that the disease quot; although communicable through the air, can only quot; be so communicated to a very short distance ; that quot; it is neither so infectious nor so malignant in the quot; southern provinces as elsewhere ; that it is milder quot; in summer and winter than in spring and autumn; quot; and that the cattle of the Steppes of Southern quot; llussia, and of the Kirghis and Calmuck breeds are quot; not only less liable to the disease but pass through quot; it more easily than others; the Commissioners pro-quot; ceed to discuss the results of the experiments on quot; inoculation, as follows :�

quot; 1. There are facts which have appeared to some quot; to afford proof that the virus of cattle plague is quot; capable of mitigation by transmission, as however, quot; in the latest experiments it was found that no quot; mitigation of the symptoms produced by inoculation quot; was obtained oven when virus of the 15th trans-'� mission (that is, virus which had been transmitted quot; through 15 series of animals) was employed, -wo quot; are inclined to affirm that mitigation cannot be quot; obtained by this method.

quot; 2. With reference to the question how long the quot; virus of cattle plague is capable of retaining its quot; activity, the experiments do not lead to a definite quot; conclusion. In some cases, it was found to have quot; lost its power after a few days ; in others, effects quot; were produced even after eleven months. Experi-quot; ments have shown that the symptoms resulting quot; from fresh and old virus arc different, whereas quot; when old matter is employed the reaction is very quot; slight and in many cases no effect is observed, the quot; inoculation of recent virus usually produces a violent quot; attack.

quot; 3. Animals in which inoculation has produced a quot; severe attack of disease are rendered thereby insus-*' ceptiblo of future attacks, but those that have been quot; slightly affected are found not to bo always sccuro quot; from second infection. Our experiments do not quot; enable us to limit the duration of the protection

laquo;' afforded by inoculation, ns they aro confined to a quot; period of six years. It may possibly ho indoflnito.

quot; From a paper appended by the commissioners to quot; their conclusions, and approved by the Minister of quot; the Interior, it appears that the Kussian Govern-quot; ment has not entirely abandoned the employment quot; of inoculation.

quot; Although the experiments hitherto made are quot; insufficient to justify the Government in recom-quot; mending inoculation as nn infallible means of pro-quot; venting the development of natural cattle plague, quot; the commission think that there is no objection to quot; permitting private individnnls to establish institu-quot; tions for inoculation with the consent of the owners quot; of stock in the neighbourhood, and in situations quot; which aro at a distance from drove-roads, provided quot; that the inoculations are under the direction of quot; skilled veterinarians whose duty it would bo to quot; report their proceedings periodically.quot;

In countries bordering on Russia the results of inoculation have not unfrcquently been most dis�astrous ; thus it is recorded by M. M. Renault and Imlin�who were commissioned by the French Government to investigate the outbreak of cattle plague in 1856, and who visited for that purpose both Prussia and Austria, and also Hungary�that a large proprietor of cattle, residing in the neighbourhood of Posen, determined to give trial to inoculation, and that of a hundred cows operated upon, every one died.

Professor Seifman of the University of Warsaw is strongly opposed to the system of inoculation. He says of it, that quot; experience has taught us that inocuraquo; quot; lation is of no use except with cattle of the breed quot; which come from the Steppes. These animals, as quot; we well know, take the disease in a much less '� virulent form, and a full 50 per cent, recover. quot; Inoculation is merely of service as immediately quot; causing the beast to sicken and thereby hastening quot; the chance of curing an animal by immediate treat-quot; ment; but up to the present time there is certainly quot; nothing to show that the inoculated animal takes quot; the disease in a milder form.quot;

Experiments in inoculation were in this country quite barren of good results, as in every case the disease resulting from the smallest quantity of virus which could be used proved on the whole to be as destructive to life as when taken in the ordinary way.

Dr. Sanderson inoculated eleven animals, nine yearlings and two cows, with cattle plague virus ; five died and six recovered.

In Dr. Sanderson's experiments also, the serum of inoculated animals taken 17 hours after the rise of temperature was found to cause the disease when injected beneath the skin of healthy animals.

At the Royal Veterinary College several animals were inoculated with cattle plague virus largely diluted with milk and also with water ; but the disease which was induced thereby nevertheless manifested its usual virulence and terminated fatally in each instance. Some experiments in this direction were olso carried out by the Edinburgh Committee, but without satisfactory results.

Mr. Duguid inoculated four calves, two of them with lachrymal secretion diluted with ten times its volume of milk, but without inducing a less fatal or virulent form of disease.

With reference to the mitigation of cattle plague virus by passing it in succession through the system of a number of animals, technically called removes, it need scarcely he said that no sufficient opportunity was afforded in this country for determining this question. The plan has been found to succeed with the virus (lymph) of sheep-pox. and other variolous diseases ; and it is not improbable it might do so with the cattle plague virus. It will be seen however that the Russian Commission reports that no mitigation was observed in virus of the 15th transmission ; but this militates very little against the view of its ultimate mitigation by a continuance of the same process. In countries in which the disease is indigenous the plan

ought to be persovorod in, and ospocially should ad�vantage bo taken of tho now well established fact that the cattle plague is not exclusively a bovine disease. Goats and sheep are highly susceptible to the action of tho virus, and it is through tho systems of these animals that those trausmissions should bo made. Analogous reasoning with regard to variolous maladies would warrant a trial being given to experiments of this kind. It is not only possible, hut even highly probable, that tho malignancy of the virus would bo so far destroyed by removes of tills description, that when brought back to cattle it might be used without danger to life, and at the samo time bo equally pro�tective against a natural attack of the plague. In countries which have hitherto been visited by cattle plague at long intervals, experiments of inoculation and tho puriiication of tho lymph, otherwise miti�gation of the virus, cannot with duo regard to national interests bo undertaken ; but in the laud of the pest, things of this kind are to bo regarded as being both legitimate and patriotic. Rendering animals insus�ceptible to the natural disease has been the great object which Jossen has long laboured to accomplish.

As part of this question numerous experiments have been made in Russia to determine at what time the activity of the virus is so far lessened as to permit Its being used successfully but with safety to the life of the inoculated animal. quot; For this purpose quot; twenty animals which had been inoculated at quot; Bondarewka with lymph (virus) which had been quot; kept for six or seven months, were subjected to quot; experiment, six being re-inoculated with fresh quot; lymph, and the remainder exposed to natural quot; infection ;quot; ton of the animals contracted the plague, and five died.

quot;Professor Roschnow inoculated fourteen animals quot; with various specimens of virus which had been quot; preserved in capillary tubes for periods varying quot; from one month to eleven months without result in quot; any of the cases.

quot;Other experiments were made in the same year, quot; 1863, l)y Professor Rawitsch in conjunction with quot; Professor Jessen ; Rawitsch arrived at the follow-quot; ing results with which, however, Ids coadjutor did quot; not concur.

quot; 1st. Inoculation with old virus was ineffectual:

quot;2iidly. Animals inoculated with old virus, sub-

quot; sequently contract the disease when re-

quot; inoculated or exposed to natural infection : quot;

Srdly. Inoculation with fresh virus was attended

in the Institution (the establishment in the

province of Cherson) with very considerable

mortality, but in a neighbouring village, where

an epizootic of cattle plague had prevailed for

some time, 80 animals were inoculated of which

only 16 died.

4thly. Cattle which recover from the disease after

inoculation, could not be again infected by any

exposure.

Another important question bearing not only on the

subject of inoculation but on fresh outbreaks of the

disease, long after its disappearance from a farm,

is the length of time that the virus will retain its

special property of giving rise to tho disease. Tho

Russian Commission reports that the experiments

hitherto had recourse to do not lead to any definite

conclusion. In the hands of Professor Rawitsch

successful inoculation has followed the use of virus

seven months old, and Jessen is reported to have

produced the plague by using virus which had been

carefully preserved for eleven months. Unterberger

says that quot; virus which had been .kept not less

quot; than a year and a half, acted and was protective.

quot; It was thought that it had been mitigated by time as

quot; of many hundred animals inoculated with it only

quot; one per cent. died. The inoculated nninials resisted

quot; tho most varied tests.quot;

A few experiments only in this direction were made by us, but in every case with a negative result. We were chiefly led to tho performauce

of thorn from observing that the cattle plague often reappeared on farms where it had ceased ibr many weeks, and in districts which were believed to bo porfectly free of the malady. These outbreaks were very perplexing, anil in some of them the most searching enquiry failed to throw any light upon tho cause. In one ease in particular no less than five mouths elapsed between the cessation of the disease and its reappearance on the farm, and that too at a time when cattle plague had been nearly exterminated in the country, and no cases of the disease were known to exist within a distance of six or seven miles. Communication between these places appeared to be the most unlikely thing possible.

For the purpose of determining tho point as far as circunntances rendered it possible, cattle and sheep were subjected to experiments with cattle-plague matter of various ages. First, some virus which had been taken in Goliciain 1808 from the eyes and nostrils of an ox affected with the plague and carefully pre�served between plates of glass, was introduced into the system of two heifers and a sheep. No marked effects were anticipated from the use of this matter; but as a microscopic examination of it showed that the mucous corpuscles and masses of germinal matter were quite perfect in form, it was thought worth while to test its properties, for which purpose it was softened with water and used for inoculating the three animals named. The subjects of the experiment were kept under daily examination for upwards of a week, and during this time no symptom of disease appeared, Tho temperature rase two degrees on the third day from that on which the operation was performed, but on the following day it had returned to the normal standard, and no other sign of the introduction of the virus afterwards appeared. Inoculations were also made with matter taken in 1865 and in the summer of 1866, the age of which was two years, 18 months, and 15 mouths respectively. In each case the result was negative, although large quantities were employed.

When these experiments were made, in the latter part of the spring of 1867, no virus of less age, excepting that which was quite fresh, was obtainable. Thus the question of the duration of the malignant quality was not finally settled, and no further investi�gations upon the subject have been made since. With�out further investigations it would not be safe to hazard an opinion, but it is at least probable that cattle-plague virus does not retain its activity unimpaired for many months when kept in a dry state. It is not, however, unlikely, indeed there are many reasons for the state�ment, that in the carcase of a buried ox the vims may retain its power for a much longer time. Indeed outbreaks of cattle plague are asserted to have occurred from the exhumation of carcases of cattle which had died of plague two years before.

Vaccination as a preventive of Cuttle Playue.

This system had its origin in the belief that cattle plague was not only an exanthematous afleotion, but one closely allied to, if not identical with, variola.

Some distinguished members of the medical profes�sion having revived this ancient view of the pathology of the disease, vaccination was ar once seized upon by the public with an avidity which would have done honour to a better cause.

At this crisis in the history of the cattle plague, the course adopted by tho Medical Committee of tho Royal Commission gave considerable support to the opinion of the plague being a variolous disease. The Committee went as far as to issue a circular, giving instructions on the manner that the vaccination of cattle should be performed. Tho circular set forth that as

quot; Many persons interested and others occupied in quot; the treatment of cattle have sought for infbrmn-quot; tion on the mode of conducting vnccinatieii, it has quot; been deemed desirable to issue the following quot; suquot;gestioiis towards facilitating tho performance quot; and promoting tho success of the operation,quot;

Al'I'KNDIX II. TO THR URPOHf ON THK

'* Mode of performing the Operation,quot;

quot; The vaccination of the cow with the lymph naturally and casually developed on the species is, in general, a successful oporntion, but unfor�tunately such lymph is rarely procurable. quot; The retro-vaccination of the cow with humanized lymph is a tlitt'orent affair, and to ensure but a moderate amount of success, when indiscriminately performed, needs more attention to many particulars than is generally supposed.

quot; In the first place it is necessary to shelter the animal from cold and wet.

quot; In the next place it is desirable to employ recent liquid lymph, conveyed in capillary tubes, or con�veyed in well developed vesicles on a child's arm. quot; It is important also to select certain regions for the operation.

quot; Those regions are the most eligible which possess the thinnest skin, are void of hair, not likely to be subjected to friction, and yet afford facility of access in operating and inspecting.

quot; In the milch cow the back part of the udder, the thin lax skin on each side of the vulva, or in close proximity to its cutaneous margins, are parts most eligible. In the dry cow and in the female calf the teats and udder will be available, although the parts above mentioned are more convenient of access. In the male the perinasum and the scrotum afford the best sites. But in individuals difficult to manage the inside of the ear, or some part of the neck, or behind the shoulder denuded of hair, and possess�ing some of the above-named requisites, may be chosen.

quot; The modes of operating, like those on man, vary, each having its advocates and advantages: quot; First. By incision. quot; Secondly. By puncture.

quot; Thirdly. By scratching or abrading the cutaneous surface.

quot; 1. Incision has advantages as regards celerity of execution and facility of introducing the infecting, as well as abstracting the resulting lymph. It may be effected by a small scalpel, or short bistoury, or, still better, by the Danish vaccinator.* quot; The incision should be made from half to three quarters of an inch in length into the skin just deep enough to make the edges of the wound slightly to gape. Wait till the oozing of blood has ceased, then apply the lymph into and open the edges of the incision. The Danish vaccinator re�sembles a small ' Valentine's knife,' or the steel pen usually found in a pocket case of mathematical in�struments�only this has a cutting edge. The instrument being well charged by applying its point to the liquid lymph discharged from the capillary tube, or oozing from the punctured vesicle on the child's arm, is made to penetrate the skin to the requisite depth, not drawing much blood. The lymph by this means is deposited at the time of making the incision. With a little practice, half a dozen incisions are quickly made and charged. quot; 2. Puncture.

quot; This is best suited to the practice of inserting the end of a doubly charged vaccine point, which may bo broken off from the shaft, and allowed to remain in the puncture for a quarter of an hour. quot; Scratching.

quot; This is tedious, but in thin skins is often advan-¹ tagcous for the application of lymph preserved on ^; large or small ivory points. The lymph,previously ^; moistened, is rubbed off the point into the scratched ¹ surface. From four to six clusters of scratches ¹ should be made, thus�

quot; Results of the Operation.

quot; About the fourth or fifth day after the operation quot; a slight redness and elevation with some hardness quot; and heat may be discerned. Those phenomena quot; gradually but not uniformly increase till the sixth quot; or seventh day, when a small central crust fills the quot; incision and plugs the punctures.

quot; On the scratched surface the exuded and dry quot; lymph occupies the furrows, or more or less over-quot; spreads the abraded surface.

quot; The vesicles now become more and more elevated quot; and extended till the tenth or eleventh day, when quot; they flatten and rapidly decline, more or less covered quot; with a thick blackish-brown crust.

quot; Unless the skin be thin and very fair, no areola quot; is visible, but the margin of the vesicle is felt hard quot; and tense. When the areola is visible on a fair quot; skin it is often not more than three or four lines in quot; width.

quot; Although the vesicle assumes the form usual in quot; man, as determined by the mode of operating, its quot; margin is, from the thickness of the skin of the quot; animal, solid, and if punctured will yield only blood. quot; Lymph can be procured rarely before the ninth or quot; tenth day, and then only by removing carefully the quot; central crust, and waiting patiently for its exuda-quot; tion through the original puncture.

quot; Vesicles raised by very slight punctures or super-quot; ficial abrasions of the cutis resemble more closely quot; those on man, and yield lymph earlier, but they are quot; liable to earlier rupture or abrasion, and yield but a quot; scanty supply of turbid lymph.

quot; It not unfrequently happens that the stage of quot; progressive papulation is indistinctly marked or quot; apparently arrested, so as to lead to the apprehen-quot; sion of failure, when suddenly the characteristic quot; form of the vesicle appears, and it advances to quot; maturity.

quot; It is not rare, however, to find among several quot; papulse some of them arrested in their progress, and quot; prove abortive. When this event befalls the major quot; part or the whole of the punctures or incisions, a '� repetition of the operations in the same site may quot; nevertheless succeed.

quot; During the progress of the disease scarcely any quot; constitutional symptoms are observed ; sometimes quot; an acceleration of the pulse may be detected.

quot; The retro-vaccine lymph obtained from these quot; operations, little as it is, should be used as far as quot; possible for other vaccinations.quot;

The great demand for vaccine lymph soon led to the manufacture of a spurious article by a class of per�sons ever ready to trade on public credulity. Points charged with a compound of collodion and croton oil, or some similar irritant, were sold by the gross, and more than one person in London is said to have profited largely by the transaction. The Northwich hundred of Cheshire likewise witnessed the nefarious practice of persons travelling from farm to farm, carrying an irritating mixture in quart bottles, with which to quot;vaccinatequot; cattle. In several instances the cattle plague showed itself in about eight days afterwards in the herd ; its outbreak depending, as is believed, on these persons visiting diseased and healthy stock indiscriminately. It is said that they operated upon a thousand animals at least, making large in�cisions on the lower parts of the neck or shoulders, and wetting the wound with the fluid. The charge made by them was two shillings and sixpence per head, so the sum realized was considerable.

The extent of these and other impositions, in connection with vaccination, which were practised upon the farmers, especially those of Cheshire, may be judged from the fact that out of a total number of 92,664 cattle vaccinated in the entire kingdom, the re�turns received by the Veterinary Department showed that 28,213 had been vaccinated in that county ; 22,564 prior to being attacked with the plague, and 6,649 after a declaration of the symptoms. These figures in themaelves afford evidence of the extent of

quot; These, if executed by a large modification of Weir's quot; vaccinator, are done with much more celerity than quot; with a single pointed instrument.

the delusion, for if oil the vaccine matter tvhioh was available at the time in the kingdom had been collected for the exclusive benefit of cattle, it would have been insufficient for the vaccination of so largo a number of animals within the week or two devoted to the operation.

There is no doubt, however, that many cattle were properly vaccinated in vorious parts of the country, and so numerous were the applications for lymph that it was found absolutely necessary for the National Vaccine establishments to refuse all comers. Five shillings for a well-charged point were given in many instances, and as much as a guinea a head is said to have been paid for legitimate vaccination.

In many instances vaccinated animals were re�ported as having escaped the plague on premises where others took the disease and died, a circum�stance which tended to keep alive the excitement. Indeed it was not until negative evidence of this kind was opposed by positive proof of the inefficacy of the operation as a means of protecting cattle against the plague, that the vaccination mania, which con�tributed largely to the spread of the cattle plague, began to subside.

Among the causes which combined to make vacci�nation a means of extending the plague may be men�tioned the relaxation of all precautions on account of a belief in the absolute security of vaccinated animals; and the not unfrequent employment, under an erro�neous impression, of the contaminated secretions of animals affected with cattle plague instead of vaccine virus.

Indeed the positive inoculation of animals with cattle plague virus was performed by many persons under the belief that this was vaccinating them.

Strange as it may appear, even some country surgeons, among others, were found to speak of the artificial introduction of the virus of cattle plague as vaccination. Coming from a cow, they seemed to think that the matter must necessarily have some of the properties of vaccine lymph, and as the use of cow-pox lymph on the human subject gave security against small-pox, so they believed this matter would give equal immunity to cattle without in any way endangering their lives.

In order to determine if possible the important questions of the susceptibility of cattle to the action of humanised vaccine lymph, the effects produced upon its quality, and the extent of its protective influence, if any, against cattle plague, a circular was prepared by the Veterinary Department, and for�warded to each inspector, who was a member of the veterinary profession. The questions asked were� 1 st. The number of animals vaccinated ; 2dly. The number successfully vaccinated ; 3rdly. The source whence the lymph was obtained ; 4tlily. The number re-vaccinated ; and 5thly. The number in which vaccination failed altogether.

A large number of returns were received, and an attempt was made to classify the answers, so as to take only those of value ; but all that was actually gained by this proceeding was proof of the suscep�tibility of a certain number of cattle to the action of vaccine lymph.

Taking, however, the cases most to be depended upon, it appeared that out of 7,692 animals properly vac�cinated, 4,188 were successfully vaccinated, and 1,775 resisted the influence of the vaccine lymph entirely. These figures leave unaccounted for 1,729 animals.

No doubt can now be entertained of the inutility of vaccination, even to lessen the susceptibility of cattle to the plague, and therefore it is unnecessary to describe in detail the experiments which wc:.'o carried out by ourselves. Suffice it to say that these in�vestigations established, beyond all possibility of doubt, days before the great medical authorities had yielded to the evidence of facts, that successfully vaccinated animals were as liable to a fatal attack of cattle plague as those which had not been

vaccinated. Indeed, that vaccination so far from protecting the system against the action of the cattle plague virus, did not in the least degree mitigate its severity nor lessen the fatality of the disease.

Similar opinions wore arrived at by Dr. Mur-chison, who at the outset had been among the most energetic promoters of vaccination. The variolous nature of cattle plague being thus exploded. Dr. Mur-chison lost no time in making the fact known to the public. In his letter to the Times, bearing date January 30th, 1866, he says, quot; The points of resem-quot; blance between cattle plague and small-pox are so quot; striking that certain observers were led to hope that quot; vaccination might protect cattle from tho prevailing quot; disease. The experiment, I believe, has now been quot; fairly and fully tried; and, although the first quot; accounts appeared favourable, there is sufficient quot; evidence that vaccination confers no permanent pro-quot; tection from the plague. It is well that this fact quot; should be generally known by publication in the quot; Times. Rigid isolation and the suspension of all quot; movement of living cattle must still be the pre-quot; ventive measures on which we mainly rely.

quot; In reply to a correspondent, whose letter appears quot; in the Times of to-day, I may state that neither quot; Mr. Ceely nor I ever maintained that cattle plague quot; and human small-pox were identical. We merely quot; pointed out that the analogy between the two dis-quot; eases were sufficiently close to call for the experi-quot; mental inquiry above referred to.

(Signed) quot; Charles Murciiison, M.D.quot;

Antiseptic agents as preventives of Cattle Plague. The administration of certain chemical agents which possess the property of arresting decomposition of organic bodies was at one time advocated as a pro�phylactic with as much zeal as vaccination. Like several other alleged preventives of cattle plague, the antiseptic system was founded upon an assumption which was not capable of proof; vaccination, on the contrary, was defended on the plea of the analogy existing between cattle plague and human small-pox.

As stated under the head of quot;treatment,quot; Dr. Wil�kinson, of Sydenham, was among the first to recom�mend the exhibition of hyposulphite of soda as a preventive as well as an effective remedy for the disease, and, that Mr. J. T. Noakes of Lewisham adopted the system, with some modification as to tho manner of administering the agent. Mr. Noakes ad�vised the solution of five pounds of the salt in 100 gallons of water ; the animals to be allowed no other drink except this medicated fluid.

Bisulphite of soda was tried by Dr. Sanderson, both by giving it in the form of a draught, and injecting it under tho skin. Various other chemical agents were used with the same object. Condy's fluid, charcoal, carbolic acid, vinegar, camphor, creosote, and tar among other things, had their advocates, who claimed for each agent a special pre-eminence over all others. All experiments however in which antiseptics were fairly tried, finally terminated unsatisfactorily.

In favour of many preventive measures it was alleged that many animals remained healthy under their use in the midst of an infected district. Negative testimony of this kind is, however, of little value when it is known that equally good evidence might be adduced in favour of doing nothing. In numerous instances it happened that cattle continued in health for some time when surrounded by tho infection although no particular precautions were taken to pro�tect them from its influence, so that some persons, judging from a limited experience mainly formed from such evidence, even held the opinion that cattle plague was not a contagious disease. These people wore in tho habit of adducing in support of their views facts of the same kind as those which were urged in proof of the protective effects of vaccination, or the uso of hyposulphite of soda and other antiseptics.

The positive evidence which has been obtained proves that neither vaccination nor the administration

Miscellaneous preventives.

As a mattor of more historical interest mention may bo made of sonio oxpedients which wore had rocourso to to void off the plague. Some of these had their rise in ignorance and others in superstition; while not a few, although having their origin in sciontifio knowledge, were nevertheless perfectiy imprnetioablo. Among the latter may bo named the construction of the cattle respirator or inhaler, by Mr. White, Surgeon, Finchley, Middlesex. This instrmnent wns intended to be fixed to the heads of nil the cattle and sheep in an infected districtthat the animals might respire only such air as had been disinfected. To effect this, the instrument was so contrived as to cover tho nostrils, leaving the mouth free. Over the nostrils layers of of canvas were secured, and these wore iopt wet by Condy's fluid or by diluted carbolic acid. In the description of the inhaler, issued with directions for its use, the inventor slated that quot; the canvas is kept con-quot; tinually wet with a disinfecting fluid which is quot; caused to flow very gently on it by being absorbed quot; by tho process of capillary attraction from a rcser-quot; voir secured to the animal's forehead.quot;

Tho burning of tar so as to keep up continuous fires around farm premises was practised in many places. In our visits to the Northern Counties, we saw several farms on which nil the cattle had been swept away, notwithstanding the rigid adoption of this expedient.

In some parts of the country also the use of chlorine was carried to an extent as even to be prejudicial to the health of cattle. This was especially the case in Lancashire, in which county the constabulary were appointed by the justices to cany out the dis�infection of shippons�cowsheds�with a view to prevent attacks of the plague. Tho system, which was strongly recommended by Mr. Stone, Chemist, Manchester, consisted of keeping up a steady and continuous disengagement of chlorine gas in the sheds occupied by the cows. The materials for the purpose, contained in a quot;pair of bottles,quot; were sold to the farmers by the police for a shilling, and upwards of 1,300 pairs were reported at a meeting of the magis�trates, held in April 1866 at Salford, to have been disposed of in 19 districts. The reports sent in by the police spoke strongly of tho advantages of the system, and many people were led to conclude that cattle plague could not possibly show itself on the experimental premises.

Several farms were, however, visited by us in which we found tho plague to bo existing ; but failures of this kind were always attributed to a neglect of the directions which were given. In numerous quot;ship�ponsquot; wj also found the cows to be suffering from the effects of the gas. Among other symptoms induced thereby were frequent cough, accelerated breathing, weeping eyes, impaired appetite, and diminished yield of milk. Relief followed a partial discontinuanec of the inhalation of the chlorine, or a daily removal of the animals for a limited time from the sheds.

Washing animals day by day with Condy's fluid, or sprinkling them over with solution of chloride of lime was also relied upon as a prophylactic by many persons.

Tarring the noses of cattle at short intervals was most extensively practised in all parts of the country, and oven advocated by persons whose position and learning might have been regarded as a warrant for believing they could not cncoitrago such an ignorant and filthy proceeding. Hanging bags filled with cam�phor around the nooks of cattle was also largely practised in some counties, thus reviving the anti�quated practice of attempting to keep off infection from man during the existence of a contagious disease.

Many things had recourse to ns preventives differed but little in fact from nailing an old horse-shoo upon the threshold of the cowshed, or hanging up a stone with a hole through it over the backs of the cattle,

or charming away tho disease by incantations ns was practised in Cheshire,

England, however, was not ulono in practices of this kind. They were shared by numerous persons on the Continent and especially in Holland. Among other beliefs which sprung up in that country was one that certain cattle, distinguished by particular marks, were insusceptible to cattle plague infection. A Dutchman�possessor of the secret�came to England and made application to tho Government for reward for the discovery. He proposed to visit tho most valuable herds of this country, and pick out tho privileged animals for tho purpose of establishing a breed of cattle that should resist all attempts to infect them with the plague. It need scarcely be added that his patriotic services wore declined.

Isolation as a preventive of Cattle Plague,

Isolation, when strictly enforced, is generally effec�tive in preventing the spread of a contagious disease, but owing to tho difliculty of ensuring its perfect adop�tion, success in an infected district is often only partial. Presuming that no indirect communication takes place between plague sick and healthy cattle, it is not necessary that any great distance should intervene, probably not more than fifty to sixty yards. As has been previously stated, strictly isolated animals have remained healthy when only separated a very short dis�tance from others affected with the plague, while no amount of space afforded immunity when communica�tion was kept up by persons passing to and fro.

In many parts of Shropshire and Cheshire cattle were put into pits excavated for the purpose and roughly covered with a thatched roof. In many of these pits the animals were kept for weeks and even months. In other parts of the country they were lowered into coal mines that they might be protected from contact with tho contagium. The Duke of Hamilton among others is reported to have had recourse to this expedient. Such a system of isolation, however, could not be generally adopted; nor would it be necessary except under circumstances which might render the preservation of a herd a matter of tho first importance.

The value of perfect isolation was early learned by most of the owners of the improved breeds of Short�horns, Herefords, Devons, amp;c., and being strictly enforced, the country was fortunately spared a loss which might have taken an age to repair. It is a notable fact that, with few exceptions, the most valuable herds of pedigree cattle passed unharmed through the storm, although threatened on all sides with danger. Mr, II, 11. Dixon, in his paper on quot; Rinderpest precautions and remedies,quot; published in tho journal of the Eoyal Agricultural Society, 1867, records among other cases the following, which we quote as an example of the means whieli were success�fully adopted. quot; Major Gunter's Wetherby farm was quot; in a deeply infected parish, and cattle were dying quot; or being slaughtered almost daily close up to the quot; park gates for months. Chloride of lime was used quot; liberally, but the Major's main reliance was on the quot; very strictest observance of tho isolation principle. quot; The Duchesses and the rest of the cattle were quot; divided into several lots of two each, and placed in quot; small sheds all over the 600 acre occupation ; the quot; yards attached to these sheds were netted round quot; the bottom so as to keep out dogs, hares, rabbits, quot; and other ' travellers.' The herdsman and his quot; assistants never went near any other cattle or person quot; engaged about cattle on any pretence whatever, and quot; if the Major had been out hunting, or anywhere else quot; in the country, he never entered the sheds until he quot; had changed his clothes. One valuable bull was quot; slaughtered after a slight accident, rather than run quot; the risk of bringing a veterinary surgeon to attend quot; upon him ; and when the butcher came for fat quot; sheep, they were driven out of the field for him, quot; while he waited with his dog in the road.quot;

The advantages of isolation were also shown in a. remarkable manner during the progress of the cattle

plague in the sheds at Lodge Farm, Barking, in August 1867. Immediately on the dotcetiou of the disease a cordon was drawn round the sheds in which the cattle had not yot given ovidonce of illness. The attendants wore imprisoned in the shods, and the food and other things which were required were placed at n distance from the ontraucos, whence they were fetched by the attendants belonging to each shed. Disinfeetunts were extensively used, and no one was permitted to enter any of the buildings but those who were employed about the animals. Persons who were compelled to enter the infected sheds, either for the purposes of inspection, or slaughter of condemned ani�mals, were strictly kept from going near to the places where the healthy cattle were located. By rigorously adhering to this system nearly half the cows on the farm were saved, The arrangements were much facilitated by the plan of buildings which had been originally carried out. The shods wore placed between two and three hundred yards apart, and wore con�veniently adapted for accommodating the men re�quired to attend upon the animals ; thus rendering unnecessary any coramunication between the occupants of the separate buildings.

To effectually carry out a system of prevention it is essential that all the approaches to the premises should be protected by lime, or similar disinfectants being so strewed about that persons entering must pass through the material. In this manner the risk of the conveyance of virus by moans of the individual's boots is lessened if not quite prevented. Sawdust, saturated with carbolic acid, will be in some cases preferable, as the scattering of lime in wet weather is inconvenient. Under all circumstances the cattle should he approached as little as possible, and especially should access to them bo forbidden to all strangers and idlers. The utmost caution is often necessary to prevent the visits of persons from in�fected premises, who are naturally prone to make visits of inquiry, and often, even with the best in�tentions, do an infinite amount of mischief. It is further desirable to prevent the entrance of animals of all kinds, and in particular to guard as far as possible against the incursions of stray dogs.

The value of sequestration has long been under�stood ; even Bates, in 1714, directed that quot; the quot; persons looking after such animals as were ill quot; should have no communication with those which quot; were well,quot; and that quot;as soon as the cows were quot; perceived to refuse their meat, or have any other quot; symptom of the distemper, that they should be quot; immediately separated from the others.quot;

On the Continent, as is well known, sequestration forms the chief means of prevention. It is enforced with a rigour which could not be adopted in this country. Even the military are employed to keep the cordon which is drawn around an infected premises.

The stamping out #9632;process.

When cattle plague appears in a herd, slaughter of the diseased animals is at once to be recommended. In many parts of the country the following plan was found to work exceedingly well when the disease appeared in a largo herd. As soon as an animal was observed to be the subject of the plague it was removed and destroyed, and the remaining animals were divided into groups of a size corresponding to the extent of the farm, but if possible not consisting of more than three to six animals. Each group was separated by as groat a space as could be allowed, and the animals carefully watched. If, as nearly always happened, another ease occurred, the diseased animal could at (ho worst oidy infect three to six others, instead of perhaps thirty or forty, and to prevent as far as possible even this minor catastrophe all the animals of the group in which the attack occurred were immediately slaughtered. When�ever this method of dealing with the plague was rigidly followed the results were most Hatisfactory. Some�times half the herd would altogether escape infection.

In a country where cattle plague prevails ex�tensively this modification of the quot;stamping outquot;

system might bo established with benefit; its adoption, however, could hardly bo consistently advocated in the event of a merely local outbreak of plague, as this ought to be summarily arrested by the immodiato slaughter of all the animals which had been exposed to the infection.

Notwithstanding the iminodinto loss which arises from destroying all the carcases, and the apparent waste of animal food, there is no doubt that the perfect eanying out of the stamping-out process in�volves the burial of all the animals, diseased or apparently healthy, with as little delay as possible. In this way the cattle plague in Franco and Ireland was quickly eradicated. In every instance of a local outbreak the saeriflco of all the animals and the entire destruction of the carcases on the premises will bo found most economical in the end, for the reason that one source of danger of the extension of the plague by the means of the blood and offal of slaughtered boasts, as well as by the less direct agency of the slaughtermen, will bo avoided.

As previously stated in this report, the praetico of allowing the healthy cattle on infected premises to bo slaughtered and dressed by butchers frequently proved a very fruitful cause of spreading the disease.

It was by persevering in the quot; stamping out pro�cess quot; that Great Britain was ultimately freed of the cattle plague, and not our country only, but also Holland and Belgium. It is somewhat remarkable that Dr. Layard should claim the merit of having origi�nated the system of killing and burying the diseased animals as a means of arresting the plague in 1747, and still more so that he should assert that the ex�ample set by England at that time was followed by the Continent. When or where the destruction of the diseased animals was first begun it is perhaps impossible to determine, but Bates speaks of its adop�tion on the Continent, and says that he, himself, put it in practice in getting rid of the cattle distemper of 1714.

Disinfection as a means of destroying the virus of Cattle Plague.

It is obvious that unless some means can be devised for the destruction of the virulent properties of the contagium which may remain about premises where the diseased animals had been kept, it will be im�possible to eradicate the malady, even by the destruction of all the susceptible animals, as early introduced healthy stock would bo at once exposed to the infec�tion. To neutralize the poison is the primary object, but it must be confessed, that most of the methods which have been used are more or less unsatisfactory in their results, and it could hardly bo otherwise in the present state of the subject of disinfection.

The actual nature of the contagium of cattle plague is quite unknown. Whether it is a material of extreme subtilty, or only a property of matter developed into activity under certain conditions, is not yet ascertained, and therefore the moans employed for neutralizing its effects are of necessity empirical in their application. Chemical agents can only be properly termed dia-infectants when thoy have been proved to possess the power to render the poison of an infectious malady perfectly innocuous. That such a power does exist in many agents is quite certain ; but practically the amount of potency which is required to produce the effect is generally suflficient to prevent the application of the agent to the living animal, except in so diluted a form that its efficacy becomes more than doubtful. It does not for example follow that, because the admix�ture of carbolic acid in concentrated solution with a certain quantity of cattle plague virus renders it inert, the same eflcct will result from the contact of the vapour, diluted with many volumes of atmospbere when brought in contact with the mucous surfaces of the body.

It is even doubtful what ainoiint of concentration is necessary to ensure the full action of the agent used ; ami no accurate experiments have been per�formed in order to determine how far the attenuation of a so called disinfectant may bo carried without

impairing ite properties. In the disinfection of promises, no attempt has been made to oscertain what kind of chemical treatment, independent of a cleansing process, would suffice to destroy the infecting power of the excreta and other morbific matters which are ordinarily found in a shed in which animals have died from plague. The ordinary proceeding under such circumstances includes, as an essentitU preliminary to the disinfecting process, a thorough cleansing and washing; and as a fact it may be stated that this in itself has occasionally been found quite sufficient to prevent the communication of the malady to healthy animals introduced shortly afterwards into the shed. It is therefore in such instances left alto�gether doubtful whether the destruction of the virus is due to the use of carbolic acid, chloride of lime, or other reputed disinfectants, or to the cleansing process which has been effectually carried out. The disin�fection of the sweepings, and the excess of fluid which runs from the premises during the cleansing is seldom attempted until these matters are either shovelled into a manure heap or turned into a drain. In order to fairly test the properties of a disinfectant it might be used in the form of powder, vapour, or fluid; or in each of these states, if necessary, to an infected shed from which nothing had been previously removed. If after an application of a certain solid or fluid in this manner, it were found that healthy animals could be introduced with impunity into a shed previously occupied by an infectiously diseased beast, the agent which had thus proved its potency might be properly called a disinfectant. No such experiments have however been performed, and in the present state of the question, the term disinfection really includes the entire process of cleansing, in the course of which certain chemical agents are employed.

The agents which are principally used as disin�fectants are chloride of lime, quick lime, charcoal, carbolic acid, cresylic acid, tar, nitrous acid, sulphurous acid gas, and chlorine. Chemists have not decided among themselves which of these agents are true dis�infectants, and it is certainly almost impossible to define their action in such a manner that all may be included in one class. If, for example, disinfectants are alone those agents which destroy organic matter, as charcoal, lime, or chlorine ; other chemicals which preserve it, as carbolic and cresylic acids, must of course be excluded from the list; while so far as actual and direct chemical action is concerned, it is impossible to prove that any agent has a special affinity for something (quot;contagiumquot;) the material existence of which yet remains to be demonstrated. The whole question of the value of particular chemical agents is one of observation, and experience alone can determine what is, or is not, capable of rendering the virus of an infectious malady inert.

In practice, the disinfection of the premises is not usually attended with much difficulty, and although it is probable that more than is actually required to be done is included in the following suggestions, yet the method is recommended because it has been found effectual in presence of somewhat severe tests, which have been sometimes unintentionally applied by the owner of the place.

The first step in the process should be the spreading a quantity of fresh coarsely powdered quicklime over the litter and manure (about a fourth part of their weight), which are then to be removed and placcd'.in heap. Next, the walls and woodwork of the building should be well syringed with a mixture of chloride of lime or carbolic acid in water, in the proportion of one pound of chloride of lime to a pailful of water, or one part of carbolic or cresylic acid to fifty parts of water. Immediately afterwards the floor should be swept and scraped, and if required the woodwork may also be scraped; the sweepings being mixed with quicklime, so as to make a compost of which one half at least is lime. In this state the mixture may be carried to the manure heap. If no mixture with lime be made, the sweepings should be at once buried. The whole interior of the shed or building

should then be thoroughly washed; raiia, wood�work, and floors with hot water containing one pound of common soda to each bucket of water. After this a second washing should take place with a mixture of one part of carbolic or cresylic acid, or one part of chloride of lime to forty parts of water, and the floor should be covered with quicklime. Finally, the doors and windows and all air holes being carefully shut, the building may bo fumigated with sulphurous acid, readily made by burning ordinary brimstone in several parts of the floor, estimating the quantity of sulphur required according to the dimensions, and plan of ventilation of the place. One pound of brimstone will be sufficient for a properly built shed capable of holding twenty oxen or cows; if however the place cannot be completely closed, three or four times that quantity of sulphur may be required. This plan of cleansing and disinfecting premises, if well earned out, would almost ensure safety. In one instance, where the system was adopted, healthy cattle were placed in sheds so disinfected immediately on the com�pletion of the process without Injury, although two days previously several animals suffering severely from cattle plague had stood in the stalls.

It will be observed, in reference to the method suggested, that it is based on no assumption of the special activity of any chemical agent, the disinfecting process being rather made subordinate to the mechanical removal, by sweeping, scraping, and washing, of all matter in which the virus of an infectious disease is likely to exist. It is hardly necessary to add to these remarks that the common plan of lime-whiting places without a previous good cleansing and washing cannot be depended upon for the destruction of morbific matter. Inducing a false idea of security is indeed worse than useless.

under some circumstances disinfection or even the efficient cleansing of a building is quite impracticable, and the only remedy adapted to such an emergency is to pull down the place, and effect the destruction of the materials by fire. The alternative is not generally a matter of much importance, as those sheds and pens which cannot be disinfected in an ordinary manner are always badly constructed and much dilapidated, con�sisting mainly of walls formed of half-rotten timber, dried furze, thorn-faggots, broken hurdles, and covered with straw thatch. To attempt the purification Of such places would be mere waste of time, and the result, under the most favourable circumstances, would be very doubtful. The application of fire to substances which are saturated with the morbific fluids of disease is not only the surest method of destroying the poison, but also in the aggregate the most economical which can be adopted, and should be had recourse to when it is found impossible to disinfect every part of a build�ing which has been exposed to the emanations and discharges from diseased and dead animals.

An important question arises in most outbreaks of cattle plague as to the period which should be allowed to elapse after a building has been disinfected before fresh cattle are introduced into it. In answer, it may be stated as a matter of fact, that if the process has been effectually canied out, fresh stock may be put into the place at once without risk of infection ; indeed it is only the existence of a doubt as to the complete�ness of the disinfection that renders delay necessary. However, when time is not a primary object, pru�dence would indicate that the place should be' kept freely open to the air for two or three weeks, that

nature's deodorizer and disinfectant�ozone__may

complete the process which art had begun. At the expiration of a fortnight the safety of the building may be tested by the introduction of two or three animals, which should be kept in it for ten days before others are put with them. If no signs of infection are apparent after this experiment the place may be deemed perfectly safe.

Presuming, however, that cattle plague is prevalent in the district at the time, it will be further neces�sary, in order to fairly test the efficacy of the means which have been employed to purify the place, that all

newly introduced animals shall be submitted to a quarantine of ten days on some other part of the premises, otherwise in the event of an outbreak of cattle plague among them it would bo difflcult to decide whether the catastrophe was duo to imperfect disinfection and cleansing, or to a previous infection of the animals themselves. Neglect of this precaution 1ms often led to serious loss.

Disinfection of carcases of infected animals, and also of the manure and other substances which may be impregnated with the virus of Cattle Plague,

The proper disposal of the carcases of animals which have died or been killed on account of cattle plague, and the disinfection or destruction of manure and fodder are matters of the utmost importance. In the absence of positive and direct evidence, it is im�possible to calculate the exact extent of the mischief which was caused in the late outbreak by want of caution in the removal and disposal of dead animals, and of various substances which had been in contact with them. No doubt^ however, can exist that the spread of the plague was much facilitated in those counties and districts where the greatest laxity prevailed in reference to these subjects ; and it is not un�reasonable to assume that the serious loss which occurred in localities where there was the greatest want of care in the disposal of carcases and manure was something more than a mere coincidence. Great difficulties had to be encountered in many parts of the country in providing proper places for the reception of carcases, and in large towns the matter assumed ou several occasions an aspect of some importance, on account of the danger likely to arise to the public health if dead cattle were not speedily removed from the neighbourhood of human habita�tions. Effectual means of destroying carcases were not wanting ; but the real difficulty was the convey�ance of them to a convenient place without incurring the risk of spreading the infection on the route. Preparatory, therefore, to a decision as to the best means of finally disposing of the carcases, it was necessary to determine the most secure method of conveying them, and also all substances which might contain the cattle plague virus, to the place where they could be destroyed or utilized.

With the view of insuring as far as possible the adoption of an uniform system in the Metropolis, where the difficulties of getting rid of carcases and manure were occasionally almost insurmountable, a circular of instructions was issued from the Veterinary Department to the Metropolitan inspectors, directing that the carcases of infected cattle, before being removed from any premises, should be thoroughly mopped over with a mixture of 4 lbs. of chloride of lime to three pailfuls of water, and also that the mouth, nostrils, and the openings of the anus and vagina should be plugged with tow dipped in the same mixture. After being thus treated, the carcases were to be conveyed in carts to places of burial, or to horse-slaughterers' establishments, or manure works. An inspector was appointed to visit all places to which dead cattle were taken, in order to superintend the disinfection of the ingesta, focccs, and offal. These precautions were all that could be carried into effect to lessen the danger attendant upon the removal of carcases from infected premises where no facilities existed for burying or otherwise disposing of them.

Even greater difficulty was found in getting rid of the manure and fodder of infected cattle. The restrictions which were imposed upon the removal of such substances from quot; infected premiwsquot; were attended in some instances with such serious incon�venience to populous neighbourhoods, that it was found necessary to relax them so as to allow of the removal of manure after disinfection to proper places, where it could be buried, or spread upon land, and at once ploughed in. Attemptlaquo; were made in a few instances to bum the sweepings of cow-sheds, but the process was so prolonged in consequence of the amount of moisture In the material that tt wtw seldom

resorted to when other means of effecting the object could bo devised. It cannot bo doubted that the removal of infected substances of any kind from premises where cattle plague either prevails, or has recently prevailed, is attended with a risk, which can only be justifiably incurred when it is impracticable to destroy or utilize them on the spot. The risk, however, is reduced to a minimum by the adoption of the system of disinfection which has been sug�gested, and the treatment of the manure with freshly-burnt lime.

Carcases and substances capable of, carrying infec�tion should, even after disinfection be removed in carts so constructed as to prevent the escape of any portions of the materials during their transit.

Fodder, including hay and straw, in bulk, which may have been exposed to the morbid emanations from diseased cattle, should bo fumigated with sulphurous acid, and then used for horses only,

Disposal of carcases of infected animals.

Four methods of dealing with carcases of cattle which have died or been killed in consequence of cattle plague are available under different circum�stances, viz., burial, burning, conversion into manure, or boiling. Either plan of destruction is quite effectual if properly carried out; but the processes differ in respect of the facility of performance. During the prevalence of the cattle plague each method was tested, and under different conditions each was found to possess certain advantages. It is, therefore, impossible to recommend any one plan as exclusively and universally applicable.

Burial of carcases.�When proper facilities exist on the premises, the plan of burying carcases is attended with very little trouble, and probably also with slight risk of spreading the disease. If the proceeding is conducted in the manner directed by Order of Council, the carcase being covered with quick lime, and afterwards with six feet of earth, there is no danger, under ordinary circumstances, of nuisance or injury arising. Indeed experience tended to prove that in several Instances, even when the burial was less efficiently carried out, the infection was not of necessity communicated to animals which were placed on lands in the immediate vicinity of the graves. Since the subsidence of the cattle plague, also, animals have been grazed over the precise places whore carcases are known to have been imperfectly buried, and yet no ill effects have arisen. For obvious reasons, however, burial of carcases should not be permitted unless all precautions are taken, not merely to prevent the propagation of the disease to cattle, but also to obviate the nuisance and danger to public health consequent upon the contamination of the air or water with animal impurities.

If the soil be of a porous nature, burial of carcases in the vicinity of dwellings, or near to the sources of water supply, should always be interdicted. Even when the subsoil is a stiff clay, the practice of burying carcases near to dwellings is not safe, ou account of the frequent occurrence of cracks in the clay during hot weather, allowing the escape of noxious vapours. A rocky subsoil is particularly unfavourable for the proper burial of carcases, and in very many instances it was found impossible to dig to a greater depth than two or three feet. This difficulty may, to some extent, be met by heaping the soil on the carcase until It is covered with the requisite amount of earth ; but very great care is necessary to bury effectually in this manner.

Considerable nuisance was found to arise in several places during the prevalence of cattle plague on account of neglect of the necessary precautions. In every instance of the kind, where an inquiry was made by direction of the Lords of the Council, it was found that the imisance was duo to the disregard of the provisions of the Order of November 23, 1865, relating to the proper disposal of carcases. When graves were dug of sufficient depth in proper localitlclaquo;, and the carcases completely covered with

quick-limo, no annoyance was Bubscquontly ex-pcriencod.

Frequently, however, it was found nocessmy to employ means for the removal of the uuisanoo arising from imperfect burial. In such cases lime, churcoal, or carbolic acid were freely used. Sometimes the surface soil had to be removed to a depth of a foot or more, and quick-lime or powdered charcoal put into the space, the soil being afterwards replaced and rammed down. This plan was always recommended when offensive gases escaped, either in consequence of deep cracks in day soils, or of superficial burial of the carcases in porous ones.

When the water of wells was found to bo tainted, lime or charcoal was thrown in ; and as a matter of necessity the use of the' water was discontinued.

Upon the general subject of the burial of carcases it may be said that under favourable circumstances, and when efiiciently done, the plan is convenient, and un�accompanied with any great risk of spreading the disease. Its adoption, however, is restricted by certain necessary conditions, including proper depth and character of soil; distance from dwellings and sources of water supply, sufficient quantity of quick-lime or charcoal, and command of the necessary labour. The latter in many parts of the country was difficult of ob-tainment, and even now and then impossible to be pro�cured. Carcases were often left unbaried for days in consequence of the owner not being able to induce his men to dig holes for them, or to assist in removing them. The neighbouring farmers also, from fear of infection, often declined to aid, or to allow their servants to aid the owner in getting rid of the dead beast. Had the cattle plague continued its ravages in this country, it is not improbable that it would have been found necessary to appoint men in ench district to carry out the necessary details in the proper disposal of carcases. Such an arrangement would have been quite practicable, and in many respects highly advantageous.

IJurning Carcases.�The destruction of carcases by burning was effected in some parts of the country without much difficulty,'and with no ill-consequences beyond the temporary nuisance arising from the effluvium which was given off by the burning animal matter.

Mr. Sweetland, of Hendon, tested the system of burial, and also that of burning the carcases of cattle, and his experience was quite in favour of the latter method. The plan which he adopted was exceedingly Bimple and effectual. A trench was dug in the ground to the depth of three feet, over which rough beams of timber were placed so as to represent a huge gridiron. A fire was lighted underneath the beams and the carcases of the cattle, previously covered with gns tar, were thrown upon them. Combustion took place very readily, and no complaint was made of annoy�ance being experienced in the neighbourhood.

At first the carcases were thrown whole upon the gridiron, but it was found that during the process of combustion they sometimes exploded with great violence. To avoid this result it was found necessary to cut the carcase into quarters, or at least to open the abdominal cavity and the larger stomachs and intestines before throwing it upon the fire.

Mr. Sweetland's calculation of the relative cost of burying and burning carcases showed that the actual expenditure was nearly equal in each case. In favour however of the process of burning the value of the ash which is left may be adduced.

The cost of burning thirteen carcases was as follows:�

The expense of burial was computed at 6laquo;. 6laquo;?. per carcase ; viz., for men's time and beer, 5s., and 1laquo;. 6laquo;?. for lime.

The cost attendant upon the burial or burning of carcases will vary according to the extent of facilities which exist in different localities, the amount of labour required, and the value of timber. The number of car�cases to be destroyed would also materially affect the question of expense. Destruction of carcases by fire could bo most economically affected in districts where a large number of animals were killed by the disease, so as to render the constant use of the furnaco necessary; but where the cattle plague prevails to a slight extent, and a single carcase has to bo got rid of now and then, it would hardly be thought desirable to have recourse to the plan of burning in pref'eronco to burying.

The particular advantages of the system of burning carcases are, the complete destruction of all organic matter, and consequently of infection ; the attainment of a product (ash) which is of considerable manurial value in return for the expenditure, and the avoidance of all subsequent danger or nuisance arising from the slow decomposition of animal matter, as in the case of improperly buried carcases.

The burning of carcases is not to bo claimed, how�ever, as a modern practice ; it constitued one of Bates' recommendations in 1714. His advice to the Govern�ment of the day was, quot; that all such cows as are now quot; in possession of Messrs. Itatcliff, Rufford, and Pullen quot; �dairymen at Islington, whoso cattle were first quot; seen diseased by Bates�bo bought, killed, and quot; burnt, or at least that the sick be burnt, and the quot; well be kept and secured on the grounds where quot; they now are, that such of them ns sicken or die of quot; the distemper may be burnt.quot;

Boiling Carcases.�In favour of this method of destroying carcases of infected cattle, it may be urged that in large towns, where it is impossible to bury or burn them, they can be conveyed to horse-slaughterers' premises, and there effectually destroyed. During the time of the greatest prevalence of the cattle plague in London, the destruction of carcases by boiling was the only available method. No facilities existed for burying or burning them, and the manure manufacturers, under the impression that the sale of their manures would be injuriously affected, declined to receive them, so that it was absolutely necessary to make arrangements for their removal, after being disinfected, to the knackers, where the hides were taken off, the viscera emptied of their contents, and the bodies cut up and thrown into covered coppers. The fat, as the most valuable product, was preserved; the bones and boiled flesh were used for manure, while the liquor was generally run down the sewers. The hides with the horns and hoofs and contents of viscera were disinfected under the direction of com�petent inspectors. The great objection to this system is apparent in the fact of a portion only of the animal being boiled; the hides and hoofs being sold for the purposes of manufacture, and the blood and manure sent into the country ; hence the necessity which existed for the establishment of a system of super�vision over the disposal of these things. In spite, however, of all the vigilance which could be exercised, large quantities of manure, and parts of diseased ani�mals, were improperly removed from the Metropolis, and led to outbreaks of the disease in the country.

Conversion of carcases into manure.�Immersion of the carcases of diseased cattle in sulphuric acid, is undoubtedly an effectual method of destroy�ing infection, while the componnd which results may safely be employed in agriculture. Other chemical processes are also equally eiTectivo in neutralizing the animal poison, and utilizing the greater part of the animal body ; but the conversion of entire carcases into manure is perhaps the most convenient method of disposing of them. In many parts of the country where largo manure manu�factories existed, the plan was adopted with advan�tage. The carcases were convoyed in carts or barges to the place, and immediately skinned, cut up, and

thrown into loaden tanks filled with sulphuric acid. Curtain parts of the imimal were not treated with the acid, mid in this lies the chiet' objection to the process. Hides, and the ingosla removed (Vom the stomachs and intestines, require to bo disin�fected under proper supervision, in order that no risk of infection shall bo incurred throngh their removal. There is, however, the previous disin�fection of the carcase to bo taken into account, and also the presence of sulphurous acid fuines in the manufaetory, so that even should any of the hides or manure escape notice, the probabilities are that they would bo rendered hannloss by the gases, with which the air of the place is generally extensively mixed. In the event of another out�break of cattle plague if the system wore generally adopted, it would bo worth while to make special arrangements for the conveyance of carcases to the manufactories, and to have proper persons appointed to superintend the process of destruction. The general result would be the obtaimnent of a large (luautity of valuable manure, at the time it is most needed to compensate for the loss of a vast number of manure-producing animals. Experience proved that no risk was incurred in the use of artificial manure manufactured from the carcases of diseased cattle, and the prejudice which at one time prevented its employment soon ceased to exist.

The positive advantages which belong to each method of disposing of carcases of cattle which have died or been killed on account of cattle plague, or of any other infectious or contagious disease, are modified by local conditions ; and under different circumstances either method may be the best.

Burial of carcases is most convenient when there is plenty of space, good depth of tenacious soil at a reasonable distance from dwellings and water sources, and likewise an abundant supply of lime, and command of labour.

Burning carcases is superior to burying them when there is a sufficiently open space and abundance of fuel.

Conversion of carcases into manure is the most economical method of destruction, in the vicinity of large manure works.

Boiling carcases, although quite effectual in respect of those parts which are exposed to the action of boiling water, is rendered a complicated pro�cess ; it is also imperfect in its operation, on account of certain parts having to be separately treated. For these reasons it is a method of disposing of carcases, which is only to bo adopted when other plans are either attended with great inconvenience, or are quite impracticable. It is in fact the most complicated, expensive, and altogether the least satisfactory of the four plans suggested.

All methods of destroying carcases of infected cattle are of necessity complicated with arrangements for the removal of them to the place where they are to be disposed of; and quite irrespective of the method of destruction which may be finally determined upon, it is imperatively necessary, in order to avoid the risk of spreading the disease, that they should bo disinfected in the manner previously directed, or in some equally effective manner, before being moved. It is also very important that their removal he in proper vehicles ; and that every precaution bo taken against their coming in contact with the road way, gate posts, fences, or trees, to which virus might bo transferred, and subsequently infect healthy cattle. After use the vehicle should bo thoroughly cleansed, washed, and disinfected.

Disposal of manure.

In the manure, litter, and fodder of animals affected with cattle plague, contagion undoubtedly exists in a

most active form. How long tho poison may resist the effects of decomposition of vegotablo sabstancos, is not known ; but it can hardly be questioned that after a eortiua time manure from infected animals ceases to possess any virulent properties, otherwise outbreaks of cattle plague must have resulted from the use of such manure in various purls of the king�dom, especially in localities where it was heaped up in the yards prior to being put on feeding grounds without any attempt at disiafectioa. Fresh manure is indubitably more dangerous than old inul rotten manure, and therefore requires more energetic treat�ment. Questions of the best method of disposing of manure are principally important in reference to large establishments. If the quantity bo small it can mostly be dug into tho ground without difficulty ; but on large farms, where the manure is not only consider�able in quantity, but most important in its uses, tho best manner of dealing with it can only be determined after careful consideration. Many disinfectants or antiseptics applied to manure, practically render it nearly useless, by retarding decomposition, or by driving oil' the ammonia. Tho most eflfectivo system of dealing with tho manure, however, is that of adding to it in its fresh state, day by day, an equal quantity of quick-lime. It may bo further remarked that on farm premises where, during the existence of the cattle plague, the litter used in the buildings occupied by tho diseased animals together with the evacuations has been thrown into the fold yard instead of being daily destroyed or disinfected, it is necessary that the whole of it should bo thrown into a heap, each alternate layer being mixed with lime, or in place thereof well saturated with diluted sulphuric acid. After lying a few weeks the heap should bo turned, when in a few more weeks it may bo safely used as dressing even for pasture land. At particular periods of the year, however, and on special farms, much of this trouble may be spared by scattering quicklime freely over tho manure in the yard and then carting it forthwith to tho arable land and ploughing it in as before advised.

By this method the ordinary decomposition is pre�vented, and instead of ammonia, nitrates are formed, and the compost is rendered harmless, while its manuriai value is considerable. By the adoption of one or other of these plans, all difficulty respecting tho removal'anil disposal of manure would be entirely obviated.

Daring the late outbreak of the plague, as has been previously stated, much mischief arose from a neglect of gathering up the dung in meadows in which cattle were at pasture at the time of the attack, and also from not adopting means of destroying tho materics morbi of tho disease by spreading lime upon tho surface. Things of this kind ought never to bo neglected. It fortunately happens that the applica�tion of lime in quantities of 40, 50, or even more bushels, per acre, according to tho nature of the soil, greatly improves tho pasture, while it effectually destroys the contagium of tho plague. With some farmers tins fact was sufficient to induce them to give heed to the necessity. With others, however, we could only succeed in getting it dono by pointing out the desirability of getting rid of the smell of the evacuations. It is well known that the offensive smell of excreta does not arise from the presence of tho materics morbi of an infectious disease, never�theless by many, perhaps by most persons, offensive smells are regarded as the exclusive source of mis�chief. In dealing therefore with an infectious disease practically, it is of the first importance to take ad�vantage of this opinion, and in urging the use of a deodorizer) to see at tho same time that selection is made of one which is a disit/J'ectunt,

APPENDIX II. TO THE KEPOMT ON TUJ.;

Consideration of the Measures to be adopted for the purpose of preventing the

Introduction of Cattle Plague.

When cattle plague exists among the Ktock of a country precautions will naturally bo taken to prevent its extension. When however the country is actually free iroin the post, but prospectively threatened with it, the means -which are adopted will refer entirely to its exclusion. No very great dissimilarity exists between the two positions; in each tho object is to prevent the conveyance of tho virus from its centres, and the only real diffcronco is to bo found in the degree of facility with which measures of sanitary police can bo enforced.

The continuous and increasing demand for foreign cattle and sheep, to add to the home supply of food for the people, will necessitate tho bringing of animals from greater distances than formerly, and thus augment the risk of introducing the cattle plague. Apart from the necessity to seek supplies from fresh sources, a temptation is already offered to cattle dealers to go into countries where the plague is rarely absent long together, by the lowness of the price of the animals and the facilities existing for their removal by railway to the ports of Western Europe. Profitable investment was of itself sufficient to induce our opulent Cattle Importers to send a vessel to Eevel in 1865 for the express purpose of bringing both cattle and sheep from Russia,� a circumstance to which we probably owe the in�troduction of the cattle plague at that time. AVhether other importations of Russian cattle will take place by the same means may be questioned, now that the continental railway system has been made more complete; but that cattle will come here direct from Russia cannot bo doubted. The immunity from the cattle plague which existed in England for so many years subsequently to free importations of animals being allowed, depended in a great measure upon the conti�nental railways being still restricted to the confines of Prussia and the German States. Now, however, that state of things is completely altered, as already direct railway communication has been made with infected countries.

Four chief lines have been brought into operation.

The first of these, starting from K�nigsberg, East Prussia, enters Russia by way of Kovno, and proceeds thence to Wilna, where it joins the main line from Warsaw to St. Petersburg, Vitebsk, and Riga.

The second extends from Berlin to Bromberg, and thence into Poland, joining the first-named line a few miles south of Warsaw, and uniting with other lines, traverses Poland.

The third, passing from Breslau, runs to Cracow, and thence through Galicia via Lemberg to Czernowitz in Buckowina, and onwards to the frontier of Mol�davia. By its further extension this line will ulti�mately reach Odessa, and unite with the railways of Southern Russia.

The fourth runs from Vienna to Pcsth, and onwards to the banks of the Danube opposite to Servia. At Pesth this line is united with the dif�ferent linos of Hungary, and also with those coming from Transylvania.

It will be seen that a danger of tho introduction of cattle plague attaches to all these lines of railway, but especially to the one which traverses Galicia. The completion of this line to Odessa will open up facilities for carrying on nn immense trade in cattle, and bring the very home of the plnguc in direct communication with Central and Western Europe.

Under existing circumstances, absolute security against the introduction of foreign cattle diseases is probably not to be obtained. Even the extreme measure of total prohibition of imports of stock from the continent would not effect it, as there would yet remain the danger of contact witli portions of diseased animals, or with persons or substances which are capable of carrying the infection. Setting aside, how�ever, all considerations of social or commercial necessity, it cannot bo doubted that the entire

exclusion of foreign live stock would bo tho most effectual of all the plans which have been suggested for the purpose of obviating tho risks which must, to some extent, be encountered while foreign animals are admitted; and laquo;s we have seen, these risks are likely to bo augmented rather than diminished year by year.

Prohibition of imports of foreign stock, however it might be defended on sanitary grounds, is practically impossible. Tho really important inquiry is there�fore, under what conditions can the necessary supply of foreign animals bo obtained with the greatest amount of security to the cattle and sheep of this country. To this inquiry answers of an exceedingly discrepant character have been returned by the repre�sentatives of different interests, including producers of home-bred animals, importers of foreign stock, and consumers. The recommendations which have been advanced vary from the one extreme of slaughter of foreign animals at the place of debarkation, to the other, of their unrestricted movement all over the country after they have passed tho necessary veteri�nary examination at the port where they are landed. Consumers are alternately ,in favour of either view, as the arguments preponderate on one side or tho other, their interest in the matter not extending beyond the question of an abundant and cheap supply of meat.

It may be therefore concluded that the generality of consumers are likely to be found on the side of an unfettered trade in cattle, whether foreign or English, and opposed to restrictions which interfere with the facility of transit, and furnish a plea at least for raising the price of moat, even if they do not really render it necessary.

Restrictions on the importation of shins mid meat, and also of hay and straw which may have been in contact with diseased animals.

Hides of cattle and sheep are not very likely to introduce infection, because they are generally either dried, salted, limed, or otherwise prepared before they are imported, and after being landed in this country are not in the ordinary course of trade, likely to be brought in contact with home-bred stock. That some risk, however, is incurred in the importation of hay and straw, and also of fresh meat, from countries where cattle plague exists cannot be doubted. The danger, however, may be partly met by restricting the movement of the fodder under bond, which would prevent its being used except as food for horses. No plan of disinfection could be applied to such sub�stances or to meat without rendering them practically useless for their intended purpose.

Establishment of separate Markets for the sale and slaughter of Foreign Animals.

Cattle and other animals, intended for immediate slaughter, constitute by far the most important part of the stock imported from the continent, and therefore the question of prevention of the introduction of cattle plague relates especially to them. Store stock, if admitted at all, must be dealt with on a totally different system to guard against infectious diseases.

In reference to imported fat stock, tho recommen�dations of agriculturists, and others who are specially interested in the preservation of home-bred animals, are always in effect the establishment of separate stations where foreign animals may be kept, sold, and slaughtered, and whence they shall not be moved alive. In every port in tho kingdom where foreign animals arc landed, except London, this system has, in fact, for some time past been adopted, but exclusively in re�ference to cattle. Sheep and pigs, if not brought in the same vessel with foreign cattle, are allowed to go free. In the port of London the alternative plan, �one tantamount to making the whole Metropolis an infected place, and allowing all cattle tobe moved into

it, but none out of it,�has boon, as n matter of absolute necessity, carried into effect, ponding the ulthnato dooision on the establishment of a separate market for the sale and slaughter of foreign animals. The system of confining cattle to tho area of the Metropolis has hitherto proved most oifoctual in limiting the spread of cattle plague. During the last outbreak in 1867, in the oast of London, the disease, although it had advanced to some con�siderable extent before it was discovered, owing to the efforts which wore mado to keep it secret, was eradicated before it had reached beyond Harking ; whereas, had tho removal of cattlo from tho Metropolis been permitted it is highly probable that a repetition of the experience of 18C5 would have boon the result.

The system of a separate market for foreign stock has not yot boon tested in a positive manner, as no outbreak of cattlo plaguo has occurred in any of those places where foreign cattlo are slaughtered within a defined part of the port. Tho consequenees to tho stock in the neighbourhood, of an outbreak of the disease among foreign cattlo within such area, is still therefore a subject of speculation. Considered in the abstract, tho establishment of separate stations for foreign stock would afford tho greatest attainable amount of security against tho communication of imported disease to home-bred animals in the imme�diate vicinity ; but it does not follow that the result would be the attainment of the greatest amount of security, for tho stock of the whole kingdom. So much depends on a clear comprehension of the meaning of this apparent contradiction, that it will be necessary to explain by means of illustration.

According to the present arrangements, foreign and homo-bred stock in the port of London are brought in contact with each other in tho Metropolis, and it is therefore a fair presumption that tho home-bred cattle within the Metropolis are exposed to the danger of infection to a much greater degree than they would be if all foreign animals were restricted to certain places by the water side : under the existing circum�stances the danger ceases at this point. Granted that an outbreak of cattle plague in the Metropolis is far more likely to occur under tho present system of foreign cattle traffic than it would be if English and foreign cattlo were kept from contact with each other, the stock of the country generally, judging from previous experience, is comparatively safe, and tho disease, in the Metropolis would be easily arrested.

Irrespective, however, of cattlo plaguo, the con�stant existonco of plouro-pneumonia and mouth and foot complaint renders it advantageous to the rest of the country that the Metropolis should be treated as a permanently infected place, out of which no animals but those which can be guaranteed to be free from infection should bo allowed to pass. Into this practically infected place it is considered that foreign stock may be consistently carried by railway from tho several landing-places within tho port, after being detained sufficiently long to permit the ill effects of the voyage to subside, so as to enable tho veterinary inspector to form an opinion of the animals' sanitary condition. If after the expiration of several hours detention no symptoms of infectious or contagious disease arc manifested, it is in the highest degree improbable that a latent infection will be developed to such an extent during the short period which is occupied in transit by railway from the landing-places to the Metropolitan stations as to bo communicated to other animals which may be grazing in pastures adjacent to any portion of the route. It is therefore almost n matter of certainty that foreign animals which arc landed in tho port of London, even at itraquo; most distant point, if found to be free from disease after being detained for not less than twelve hours, may bo safely conveyed, so far as cattle on the route are concerneel, by railway to the Metro�polis. Assuming, however, that cattle plague breaks out, the danger would be practically confined to the stock within tho area of the Metropolis,

U u

On the other hand if foreign stock woro provontod moving out of a certain defined space, or number of defined spaces, in the port of London, and the re�strictions which now apply to tho Metropolis were removed, tho risk of infecting tho animals in tho Metropolis would bo lessened; but in tho event of an outbreak of cattle plaguo occurring among tho im�ported animals in tho foreign market tho infection would easily be carried by various moans to cattlo in the Metropolis, and probably long before it would be detected many infected animals would have been sent by their owners from out of the cowsheds into the Metropolitan market, and from thonce distributed over the country. Therefore, although tho risk of cattle plague infection would bo lessoned in respect of cattle iu the Metropolis by the establishment of a separate market for foreign stock, tho danger of an extensive spread of the disease would bo increased in the event of the malady being imported. For these reasons the present system of regulating the cattle traffic in the port of London is thought to be, in a strictly sanitary point of view, more satisfactory than tho alternative plan of a separate foreign market associated with tho removal of restrictions which prevent tho movement of cattle out of tho Metropolis.

If the latter system be hereafter established it will become necessary to exercise a much more strict supervision over tho cattlo in the Metropolis and in the Metropolitan market than has hitherto boon done, with the view to prevent the sending of infectiously diseased animals into the country. It is scarcely necessary to allude to tho well-known fact that immediately on the appearance of a fatal infectious disease, such as pleuro-pneumonia or cattle plague, the course usually adopted by tho owner of the animals is to send those which arc apparently healthy to the Metropolitan market; and unless proper steps are taken to remedy the evils of this system, by altogether prohibiting and effectually preventing tho removal of animals from promises whore an infectious disease exists, the establishment of a separate foreign market in the port of London will prove to bo more injurious than beneficial to the interests of the agriculturists of the country.

It has frequently been asserted that the Metro�polis under the existing system occupies an excep�tional position, and that the arguments which are urged in opposition to the establishment of a separate market for foreign cattle in London, are not employed when the question refers to any of the outports. An answer to this statement must include an admission of its truth: London docs occupy an exceptional position in regard to other ports, and the arguments against the establishment of a separate foreign market, in connexion with the free movement of cattle from the Metropolis, which is always understood to be one of the conditions, do not apply, except in a very limited sense, to other places in the kingdom where foreign cattlo are landed. It may, indeed, bo safely affirmed that in no other town in the kingdom are there so many foreign cattle of various breeds landed as in London, and that no market is so likely to bo a centre of infection as tho Metropolitan market; hence the necessity of enforcing restrictions upon the movement of animals from the limits of the Metropolis.

In place of the proposed system of so-called quot; safety markets,quot; tho efficacy of which in preventing the spread of cattle plague seems doubtful, and the effects of which on the importation would probably bo seriously deterrent, a modification of the system at present in force might be carried into effect by the adoption of the following regulations :�

1st. All foreign cattlo should be dealt with in the same manner; no regard being had to cither the place or tho country from which they come. Cattlo imported from Spain or Portugal, if not likely to introduce cattlo plague, are likely to bring in pleuro-pneumonia and other contagious diseases.

Exportations from any particular country, with tho exception perhaps of Spain and Portugal, afford no security whatever of the cattle having boon fed or 2

APPKNmX II. TO THE ItKPORT ON TIIK

reared in that country, llungiiriim cattle, for ex�ample, are often sent to France, exposed in markets, ami, if not sold, exported from France to England. Besides -which the ports of IJelgiura, Hollaml, and Hanover, mid particulnrly Hamburg, are practically to he regarded as places of omharkntion only for cattle and shoop whloll have boon brought direct from Eastern Europe.

2iKlly. Foreign cattlo imported into London should ho moved, as now, from the several landing-places by rail to the Metropolitan market. They ought all, however, to go direct to the market lairs, and to no other place. Their sale should take place in the lairs, and they should all he slaughtered at the adjacout slaughter-houses, and under no circumstances bo allowed to go to butchcl's' slanglitor-housos.

3rdly. The time of their being kept at the several landing-places before being examined by the Customs Inspectors should be extended to 18 or oven 24 hours. This latter-named time is much to be preferred.

4thly, The period now elapsing between the sale of foreign cattle and their slaughter should be shortened from ten to seven days at the longest.

5thly. All foreign shoe]) should bo dealt with as cattle, and without regard to their coining in tho same vessel or not. The present system affords little or no security against the introduction of disease, as both sheep and cattlo arc often congregated together at the place of export up to the hour of their being put on board separate vessels.

6thly. Although no great objection is to be taken to sheep being moved from the landing-places to licensed lairs contiguous to the Metropolitan market, nor perhaps to their being sold within the market area, or slaughtered at private slaughter-houses, still they should not be allowed to leave the Metropolis, nor should our English sheep or cattle when having once been exposed in the Metropolitan market.

7tlily. The time for keeping sheep alive should not exceed that which is allowed for cattle.

8thly. The importations both of cattle and sheep into the other ports of the kingdom should continue to be into defined parts of such ports. Hero tho animals should be sold and slaughtered. The regula�tions with regard to examination and period for keeping them alive to be the same as in London. It will be seen that this plan prevents any port becoming one of transit, and thus inland towns are deprived of a supply of foreign cattle and sheep as living animals.

This difficulty can, however, be easily surmounted by some of the ports, where no markets and but little demand for meat exist, being specially set apart as quarantine and transit ports. Harwich, Lowestoft, Grimsby, Ilartlepool and Sunderland arc well adapted for the purpose. Importations into these must be also within a defined area. The cattle and slice)) shouhl be inspected on landing, and from time to time during; the quarantine. All being right, the quarantine may bo reduced to the lowest possible time, say seven days, at the termination of which the animals are to be re�moved by rail only to a specified town direct�Man�chester for example. On quitting the trucks they should be taken to a place contiguous to, if not within the railway premises, specially set apart for their

sale and slaughter, as at a port which is not one of quarantine but of slaughter.

Under no circumstances should London, Hull, Newcastle, and some other places, bo allowed to transmit foreign cattle or sheep.

9thly. All ships employed in the cattle trade should be licensed, or some other means adopted to limit the number of animals put on board. Tho overcrowding now practised is a crying evil, and attended with much cruelty and suffering. Means ought likewise to exist by which tho owners should be compelled to cleanse and disinfect the vessels to the satisfaction of the Customs before leaving the place of import for a fresh cargo of cattle.

EstabUshment of quaranline stations for the reception of store stock imported from the Continent.

It is not probable that any extensive trade in foreign store stock will ever bo carried on in this country. Under certain conditions it may become necessary, however, to introduce animals for a special purpose ; but ordinarily, England is more likely to export breeding animals than to import them.

Tho arrangement of a quarantine station for store stock would be attended with numerous and, in some respects, insurmountable difficulties ; and in the event of an outbreak of an infectious disease among the ani�mals, a considerable sacrifice of property must result.

Under any circumstances it would be necessary,

1st. To provide separate landing-places and lairs for different cargoes, otherwise the animals which had remained for the full period might be infected on the day of their departure by contact with newly imported animals.

2nd. A considerable extent of pasture land would be required for grass-fed cattle and sheep, and par�ticularly for milch cows.

3rd. Sheds and pens must be erected in such a manner that different lots of animals may be kept quite separate from each other.

4th. Food and water must be supplied by different attendants to each lot, or the owner of certain animals would reasonably complain of the risk of communica�tion of infection to their stock in the event of a conta�gious disease appearing in another quarantine station.

5th. Slaughter-houses must be attached to each station, and there must also be liming pits for skins, and arrangements made for tho effectual disposal of carcases hy one of the methods previously recom�mended.

6th. Disinfection of all sheds and pens where animals have been kept must be efficiently carried out before other animals are introduced. If disease breaks out among cattlo on the pastures, it would he necessary to lime the land and leave it unoccupied for at least 28 days.

Altogether, the difficulty of maintaining the neces�sary regulations with sufficient strictness, the risk of spread of infection should cattle plague break out, and the expense attending the detention of cattle and sheep for a period of three or four weeks, constitute serious practical objections to the general adoption of the quarantine system. The establishment of one or two stations, however, is necessary to meet emergen�cies which are of occasional occurrence.

Cases of Malignant Aphthous, Gastric, and Gastro-enteuic Disease simulating Cattle Plague in the Symptoms and Post-mortem Appearances.

That the forming of a correct diagnosis of disease is, at all times, of the greatest importance, and more especially when a virulent and infectious malady like cattle plague is prevailing, will he readily admitted by every pathologist. The necessity which exists for the adoption of stringent restrictions immediately upon the detection of such an infectious and life-destroying malady as the plague, renders an error of opinion a matter of serious moment. For this reason, as well as for others having a scientific basis, it was im-

portant to ascertain what symptoms, if any, of those which are ordinarily found in cattle plague could be accepted as positive indications of its existence, and also by what morbid appearances, especially of the internal organs, the disease was essentially characterized.

Practical men, that is, persons who are familiar with the habits of cattlo and accustomed to form their opinions of tho nature of a disease simply upon the evidence afforded by the sick animal's aspect,

aiul such palpable changes in the function of organs us cim bo easily detected, and perfectly nnderstood without a knowledge of pathology, pvofessed never to feel any doubt as to the existence or otherwise of cattle plague. Seientifie men, on the contrary, and especially those who devoted themselves to an in�vestigation of tho phenomena of tho affection, failed altogether to acquire tho same confidence in their own judgment; and as their acquaintance with tho peculiar features of the malady became more ex�tended, tho difliculty of arriving at a correct con�clusion increased so much that, ultimately, symptoms and morbid appearances came to be estimated as secondary in importance to the evidence obtained from a strict inquiry into tho history of tho case.

Indeed cattle plague had not long existed in England before it was discovered that some of the symptoms which were thought to bo most distinctive of the disease werequot; not constantly present. This was es�pecially tho case with regard to tho condition of tho mucous membrane of the mouth, which often remained unchanged in colour and perfectly free from excoria�tion to the time of death. Experience also gradually developed tho additional truth that nearly all tho morbid changes wrought by tho disease were at different times associated with other affections of cattle, a fact which rendered the dithculty of form�ing a correct diagnosis very great. Portions of the viscera of cattle were early forwarded to tho Eoyal Veterinary College for our examination, in which lesions existed which could not be distinguished from those of plague, although the animals had died under circumstances which rendered it very unlikely that they had been the subjects of that disease. Throughout the whole period of the cattle plague, as well as after the stamping out of the disease, similar speci�mens also reached us. Among those -which possessed the most interest were an aphthous condition of the mouth, pharynx and oesophagus. A liaemorrhagic state of some of tho folds of the omasum, associated with intense congestion. A petechiai condition of the abomasum, with softening of its mucous membrane and copious exudation into its follicles near to the pylorus. Two or three examples of emphysema of the folds of this stomach, and several of black coloured sloughs on the free edge of its folds. Patches, more or less diffused, of inflammation of the small intestines, often associated with effusion into Pyer's patches and the intermediate portions of the mucous membrane. Sloughing of the ilio-crecal valve. A haemorrhngio state of tho cn;cum, with congestion radiating from points in an arborescent manner. Zebra markings of the colon with congestion, more or less intense. Extravasation of blood at tho terminal portion of tho rectum. Effusion of lymph into the larynx. Petechiai condition of the windpipe. Emphysema of lung. Ecchymosis of tho base of tho heart and its ventricles. A highly congested state of the vagina, and copious exudation from its surface.

As can be readily understood, gastro-entcric diseases, arising from ordinary as well as from special causes, more closely simulated the plague, both in their symptoms and lesions than other affections.

Cases of this kind occurred in nearly every part of England, and many of them were returned to the Veterinary Department as outbreaks of tho cattle plague. Investigations of all such cases took place by order of the Lords of the Council; and the extent of these inquiries is shown by the circumstance that visits had to be made to Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Lin�colnshire, Huntingdonshire, Buckinghamshire, Hert�fordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, and Cornwall, ami also to Berwickshire in Scotland. Malignant aphthous and gasvro-cntoric disease, more or less severe, were mot witii in all tiiCHC counties. It is worthy of note that the ma�jority of these cases occurred on the decline of the plague, when tho malady, in fact, had boon extermi�nated over a considerable portion of the country.

Each ease was tested by an application of tho laws which may be said to specially relate to the cattle plague, or to regulate its spread. 1st, its non-spontnneous origin ; 2(1, limited period of Incubation ; 3d, short duration; 4th, groat fatality; 5th, constant spread by infection ; (Jth, development in unlimited quantities of oontagium, and 7th, early production of a rise in the internal temperature of an infected animal.

Besides tho application of tests of this kind, in order that no doubt might remain in reference to a question of such importance, the crucial lost of inoculation of healthy cattle with tho matter of the diseased animals was had recourse to in many instances in which the lesions could not be dis�tinguished from those of tho plague. These inocu�lations were always attended with a negative result, although in several cases an amount of matter was introduced into tho system of a single beast which would have sufficed to infect a large herd if the disease had been cattle plague. The conclusion, therefore, arrived at was often tho very opposite to that which would have been deduced from tho evi�dence afforded by an ordinary investigation of the symptoms and tho post-mortem appearances.

One of the most notable of these cases was in�vestigated in Warwickshire almost eoincidently with the discovery of the cattle plague in the Metropolis. The herd numbered upwards of 100 animals; tho major part of which were more or less the subjects of malignant aphthous fever. Two or three of them died, but the others recovered after a few days illness. On the occasion of our visit wo had much difficulty in getting the owner of the cattle and the veterinary surgeons in attendance to coincide in our opinion that the animals wore not suffering from tho quot; now diseasequot;�cattle plague. Curative or preventive treatment was had recourse to in each ca.^e, and as the deaths were so few an impression was created in the neighbourhood that the plague was a disease which would yield readily to medical treatment. This opinion held sway until cattle plague did in reality visit the district, some few weeks afterwards, when the tale told was a very different one, and when for tho first time the opinion which had originally been given by us was admitted to be correct.

It must not bo inferred, however, that aphthous and gastro-enteric diseases were tho only ones which simulated plague ; for experience showed that several other affections, either from a pecu�liarity of type, or an unusual malignancy, were sus�pected, especially at the outset, of being cases of this disease. The following list comprises the ad�ditional maladies which were icported as attacks of plague :�Malignant- catarrh ; mouth and foot disease ; inflammation of tho rumen ; inflammation of omasum; impaction of ingesta in the omasum ; inflammation of the abomasum; enteritis; peritonitis; poisoning by nitrate of potash; poisoning by water dropwort; poisoning by bitter-sweet; excoriations of inoutb and fauces by irritating agents; pleuro-pneumonia (pul-monic post) ; splenic apoplexy ; luemolosepsis ; luemestosia, and parturient apoplexy.

Many cases of cattle plague are distinguished by a complete combination of all the symptoms and all the morbid characters of the disease, and in respect to thoin no hesitation is required in forming a correct diagnosis. These definite examples, however, cannot bo said to constitute a majority of the attacks, and certainly they are not illustrative of cases in reference to which an investigation is usually required,

In the parficulnrs which follow of selected cases of disease, illustrative of the general statement wo have made, it will be seen that lesions identical with those met with in cattle plague were found on making of post-mortem examinations of animals which had sunk from at lacks of disease of the very oppo�site nature to the plague. A case of this kind oc�curred to an Irish cow, one of a lot purchased shortly

APPENDIX II. TO THE RBPOBT ON THE

Hi,

boforo tho nttnck. On tho arrival of tlio nowly pur-ohased animals at tho furm, two of them were taken fi'oiu tho others and placed in a shod with three of tho old stock, and after an interval of ten days one of the two�the cow in question�was observed to bo ill. Tho leading symptoms were described as general dulnoss, loss of milk, disclmvgo of saliva, with an abraded state of the membrane of tho mouth, lips, and gums. After three days illness tho animal died.

Tho disoaso being thought to bo cattle plague, nil investigation was instituted three days after the animal's death, and a fortnight subsequently to the introduction of tho Irish cattle upon tho farm. It was first ascertained that tho cattlo plague did not exist in tho immediate neighbourhood ; and next, that the cows which had been in the same shod with the sick one gave no evidence of infection. The temperature in each of them was below 102deg;. An inspection of tho remaining stock on tho farm, in�cluding the Irish cattlo, showed that they were all free from disease. These facts were important, because in no instance where an outbreak of cattlo plague oc�curred in fi herd did an inspection at tho end of a week fail to detect in some of the animals a rise of temperature, as well as, in most cases, other and more obvious signs of infection.

Tho preliminary inquiry being concluded, an ex�amination of the carcase of the cow, which was exhumed for the purpose, was made, when some very remarkable lesions were detected. In tho nbomasum and intestines tlio morbid appearances were precisely like those of cattlo plague. Tho condition of the mouth was, however, the point to which tho chief significance was attached ; the swollen and cracked epithelium of the lips, gums, and boundaries of the fauces was in every respect identical with the con�dition which is so frequently seen in the plague. Ono peculiarity, however, was observed, which was the absence of any disease in tho palate. Pursuing the examination along the trachea an altogether new set of morbid appearances were detected ; the larynx and trachea were intensely inflamed, and tho smaller bronchial tubes so completely filled with coagulated blood as to render the lungs almost solid to the feel. This unusual condition of the respiratory organs led to closer inquiry, and it was ultimately discovered that a strong irritative fluid had been given to the cow under circumstances that ren�dered its part-passago down the trachea inevitable. The diseased condition of the mouth was now easily to be explained, as was also that of the fourth stomach and intestines. Supposing, however, that in conse�quence of a dispute between inspectors, the head of this animal, with the abomasum and portions of the intestines, (precisely the parts which would be se�lected,) had boon submitted for inspection, an erro�neous conclusion could hardly have been avoided by a pathologist accustomed to be content to decide simply upon an amount of evidence which would thus have been afforded him.

Another case somewhat allied to this occurred in the immediate neighbourhood of London. The viscera sent for examination consisted of the stomachs and intestines, larynx, trachea, lungs, and heart. In the rumen patches existed from which the epithelium easily separated, showing the membrane beneath to be intensely inflamed. In other parts of the viscus the mucous membrane had undergone no change. The omasum was in a similar condition to the rumen. Some of its folds were inflamed throughout, and others only in patches. The abomasum was equally inflamed with the other stomachs, and thickly set with spots of submueous htemorrlmgo, especially near the pylorus. The intestines, largo and small, presented a similar patch-like character of inflammation.

Effusion of lymph had taken place into the larynx and upper part of the trachea (Plate 4), Lower down tho mucous membrane of the trachea and bronchial tubes was highly congested and studded with points of sub-mucous hfEmonhagc. The lungs were em-physemalous to a remarkable extent (Plate 13), and

ecehymoscs existed in both ventricles of tho heart, particularly in the loft ono (Plate 13).

Tho animal had died after three days illness, having been attacked originally with tho disoaso known as parturient apoplexy. Nothing which had been admi�nistered by the veterinary surgeon in attendance could account for tho lesions met with in tho alimontary canal in particular ; but on a strict inquiry being in�stituted it was found that tho bailiff had taken upon himself to supplement the treatment by administering large dozes of nitrate of potash in solution. Hero again were many of the lesions of cattlo plague ; those existing in the larynx, trachea, lungs, and heart being especially noteworthy.

In connexion with these cases�one of aphtha and the other of parturient apoplexy,�in which death may be presumed to have occurred rather from the exhi�bition of irritating agents, than from tho disease itself, mention may bo made of a supposed outbreak of cattlo plague in tho county of Norfolk, which proved also to be another instance of death from poison.

Twenty Irish bullocks, part of an original lot of 120, which had been brought directly from Wexford to Norfolk, wore purchased by a dealer at Norwich Market, and re-sold two days afterwards to three different persons residing in tho same district ; 12 to A. ; 7 to B., and 1 to C. The ono sold to C. was added to others, so as to make a lot of 12, Tho 12 bullocks bought by A. were turned into some meadows to graze, and while here, a bull, which had been for many months on tho farm, broke pasture and got to them. He was allowed to remain. The 13 animals were shifted, on tho fourth day after the arrival of the Irish cattle, from the meadows to a quot; piece of seeds quot;�clover layer. On the night of the second day they broke out of this field, and some of them were found on the following morning in a small plantation adjacent. In consequence of this they were all returned to the meadows. Two days sub�sequently, and eight from the date of their coming on the farm, one of the Irish bullocks was observed to be ill. It was not removed, however, from the others, until the following day, when it was seen by the Inspector, who thought the case was one of plague. On the second morning following the attack, another of the Irish bullocks gave indications of severe illness, and during the day, a third was attacked, but not so severely, while some of the others were looked upon with suspicion. The leading symptoms in the two extreme cases were diarrhoea, associated with slimy and bloody evacuations ; staggering gait ; great de�pression of strength ; hurried respiration, accompanied with frequent moaning ; abdominal tympany ; total loathing of food ; quick and tremulous pulse; mucous discharge from the eyes and nostrils, and salivary discharge from the mouth.

The second bullock died in about 36 hours from the attack, which confirmed the Inspector in the view he had taken of the nature of the disease. As no cases of cattle plague had, however, existed in tho county for very many weeks, other professional assistance was sought, and a post mortem examination made of the animals which had died; certain parts being reserved for subsequent inspection. The in�vestigation left some doubt on the minds of the consulting veterinary surgeons as to tho nature of the disease, nevertheless the Inspector had the bullock first attacked killed and buried, and returned the out�break as one of cattle plague to the Veterinary Depart�ment. He also gave notice to the Committee of the local authority, who at once enforced the law in so far as declaring the place to bo an infected one.

An official investigation being ordered, on our arrival on the premises 14 days from the date of the purchase, we first made ourselves acquainted with all the facts connected with the history of the animals which seemed likely to bear upon the cause of the disease. We next examined the living animals, in�cluding the third one which had been attacked. This animal was found to be convalescent. All the others were also free from disease. In none of tho healthy

animals did tho tomporaturo register higher than 102quot;4, while in tho convivleseont one it was ovon loss than this, being 101-4.

Tho parts loft for our examination, of tho bullock which had died, consisted of the third and fourth stomachs, and portions of the small intestines, with tho coecum, colon, and rectum. Tho lesions met with were as follows. In the third stomach the vessels of nearly every Ibid wore turgid with blood, so as to show their divorgonco from centres of congostiou, while hero and there some of them had given way, and produced sub-mucous extravasations. The mu�cous membrane of the fourth stomaeh was inflamed throughout ; the inflammation being more intense near to tho pylorus. On somo of the folds of this stomach also, sub-mucous haemorrhage had taken place. Tho small intestines wore deeply congested, chiefly in patches. In the coecuin a similar state of things existed; but in addition to the centres of congestion, the so-called quot; zebra markingsquot; wore well developed. The rectum was intensely inflamed, especially at its terminal portion (Plate 3).

The carcase of tho animal which had been killed was next examined, it having been disinterred for the pur�pose. The following lesions were found. Mouth and throat.�Abrasion of the palate, particularly at its posterior part (Plato 6). Claret-coloured patches on the buccal membrane, covered with exudation matter; base of tongue highly congested (Plate 4); throat ulcerated in three or four places, the sloughs being about the size of the tip of the finger. Larynx intensely inflamed, and having similar sloughs to the throat. Two of these sloughs were situated at the base of the epiglottis, and a third partly on the inner surface of one of the arytenoid cartilages. Trachea and lungs congested, with ecchymosis of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes. Heart; extra�vasations underneath the membrane in the left ventricle. (Esophagus unchanged, except at its terminal portion, where excoriation existed. Rumen; circular-shaped sloughs of dead tissue, about a dozen in all, situated upon tho muscular bands and the parts of the viscus free from papilla; ; here and there patches of congestion. lieticnhcm in similar condition to the rumen, excepting that the sloughs did not assume any special form, but involved many of the septa forming the sulci. Omasum; lesions allied to those of the rumen and rcticulum, but only a few of tho folds affected. Abomasum congested to a slight extent. Small intestines more deeply congested than the abomasum ; ileo-coocal valve ulcerated. Large intestines; patches of congestion ; zebra markings very distinct.

The #9632;post-mortem examination thus showed that in both animals most of the ordinary cattle plague lesions were present, and that in one of them, ad�ditional lesions were met with in the throat, larynx, rumen, rcticulum, and omasum, which at one time were believed to be perfectly characteristic of the plague. The state of the rest of tho herd, however, together with the history of the cases, militating against the view of the disease being cattle plague, search was made for the cause of these remarkable lesions, when it was discovered that on the occasion of the animals breaking into the plantation some of them had eaten freely of tho Solanum dulcamara, two or throe plants of which had entwined their branches, bearing fully matured benies, among the low growing shrubs. Tho inquiry was further ex�tended to the bullocks bought by B. and C, when it was found that in both instances they had boon mixed with other cattle on tho respective farms, and that they, as well as the old stock, were in perfect health. This fact gave additional confirmation to the opinion of the true cause of the disease, and of its non-infectious character.

Among many other cases illustrative of the lesions of cattle plague being often associated with non-infectious diseases, mention has to be specially made of a cow which died of the malady known as malignant fever, or anthrax. In this (use, which

took place in one of the Midland counties, death followed very rapidly, and selected portions of the viscera were sent to the Veterinary Department for examination. The mouth, tongue, fauces, larynx, portions of the abomasum, intestines, and skin of the udder, presented such marked evidences of the plague that an inspection of the cattle on the farm was ordered by tho Lords of the Council to bo made without delay. It was found that the remainder of the herd gave no signs of being infected either with cattlo plague or any other disease.

Meanwhile a minute examination of the morbid parts was made. The posterior part of the tongue and fauces afforded examples of the creamy or curdy ex�udation, and the epithelium presented that soddened, crooked, and excoriated condition, which together form the special morbid appearances of these parts in typical instances of cattle plague (Plate 10). Tho secretion from the fauces, ami also from the lips, was examined microscopieally, and found to contain an abundance of the large masses of germinal matter of the same kind as had been previously seen in the exudation of cattle plague (Plate 5, fig. 2.) Small portions of muscular tissue taken from the base of the tongue were also examined and found to be exten�sively infested with psorosperms (Plate 8, fig. 1). The skin of the udder likewise presented on eruptive condition which could not be distinguished from that which occasionally occurs in the worst form of cattle plague (Plato 7).

8o remarkable were the morbid appearances in this case, that notwithstanding the entire absence of any infection among the other animals, it was deemed advisable to test the nature of the disease by inoculation, and accordingly, some healthy cattle and sheep were inoculated with the exudation matter. No results, however, followed, nevertheless the ex�periment was twice repeated without any disturbance of the animals' health being occasioned. No doubt could now exist of the correctness of the eonclusioii which had been arrived at from the inspection which was made in the locality, although it must be admitted that it was in direct opposition to the one which would have been come to had the evidence been limited to a mere inspection of the changes which hail taken place in the structures sent for examination.

An allied case to this, which also occurred in one of the midland counties, was brought to our notice within a few weeks ofquot; tho death of the preceding amimal. The symptoms were so characteristic of cattle plague, that not only the inspector, but two other veterinary surgeons who saw the case, did not hesitate to pronounce it to be one of plague. The animal was destroyed on the fourth day of illness, and a careful/)oslt; wraquo;rtolaquo; examination made. The lesions were chiefly confined to the mouth and throat. Exco�riations existed on the lower lip, palate, and root of the tongue (Plates 4 and 10). The buccal membrane throughout was deeply congested, and covered with exudation matter (Plates 6, 12, and 14). The larynx was in a similar condition, and lined on its inner surface with lymph deposits (Plate 4). These appear�ances, together with the condition of the alimentary canal, were considered amply sulliclent to confirm the opinion which had been given. Our investigation, however, led to the contrary conclusion, and the case was reported to the Lords of the Council as not being one of plague. This opinion received conlinnation from the fact that all the other animals on the farm remained perfectly well, and that no other case of disease occurred in any contiguous place. Indeed, cattlo plague had been eflectually stamped out several months in the locality in which this supposed outbreak of the disease occurred,

A third case happened within a week or two of this one, and again in the Midland counties, but far removed from either of the other places. The animal, a bullock, was one of a herd of twenty-two. They were coiilined to the fold yard at night, and grazed during the day on the contiguous meadows. There were also on the premises four dairy cowa and a calf,

u 4

occupying a shod near to tho fold yard, and sovonty-oight bullocks grazing on other meadows not far distant. Cuttlo plague had not existed within two iniloB of the farm, and no casu of the disease had boon known in the district for upwards of six months. On tho animal being taken ill it was first soon by un assistant to tho inspector, and on tho next day by the inspector himself. Tho general symptoms which were present, especially tho inflamed and excoriated condition of tho lower lip and mouth, led at once to tho conclusion that tho case was one of plague. Another veterinary surgeon was sent for, whoso opinion agreed with that which hud been given. Prac�tical men also affirmed that there could be no doubt as to the nature of the illness. The animal was killed and buried, and the � case reported to tho Veterinary Department. By tho time of our arrival at the farm, the local authority had given instructions for the slaughter of tho twenty-one remaining bullocks, which was then being can-led into effect. A careful examination of the viscera of those already slaughtered was made, but no disease detected. Tho temperature of the animals still remaining was taken, and in no instance found to exceed 101-8. The cows and the calf also gave no indications of illness.

The anterior part of the lower jaw of tho diseased animal had boon removed and preserved for our in�spection. It presented extensive abrasions, particu�larly of the gums (Plate 14), which were also highly congested. Notwithstanding this, we sought for more evidence of the true nature of the disease, and had the carcase disinterred. The examination showed excoriations of the palate (Plate 6), and a sloughing condition of the mucous membrane of the tongue, at its posterior part. The fauces were intensely con�gested and covered with exudation matter, which filled up the openings of the tonsils (Plates 4 and 10). Tho larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes wore also much inflamed, and effusions of lymph had taken place into them. The lungs were congested. The heart was healthy, and no disease of the other thoracic vis�cera existed. The digestive organs upon the whole were but slightly diseased. Some of the folds of the omasum were congested, and so also were those of tho abomasum. Patches of congestion existed both in the small and large intestines ; the turgid state of the vessels being most considerable at tho terminal portion of the rectum. The opinion arrived at was that the case was not one of cattle plague. No other animal, either on the farm or in the district, was subsequently attacked.

It was thought that the disease might possibly have been brought into tho premises by four newly pur�chased Welch bullocks a few days before the illness of the r.nimal in question. These bullocks, however, were found on examination to bo in perfect health. It should bo added that fourteen out of the seventy-eight bullocks had free access to those among which tho disease occurred. These, however, were spared by tho local authority, and so also were tho cows and tho calf, as they did not absolutely form part of the herd in which tho case occurred.

A fourth, fifth, and sixth case of the same kind occurred in three different herds in the county of Essex, which created great alarm, us they all hap�pened within the period of three weeks, and within a distance of little more than half a mile of each other. Each case was returned as an outbreak of the plague by the inspector.

Herd 1.�The animal attacked was one of twelve bullocks and a calf, which were at pasture near to many others. The attack was so sovoro that tho animal died on tho third day of illness, and on the first of being seen by the inspector. On the following day, about twenty hours after death, it was dis�interred for our examination. Copious exudation covered the buccal membrune, which was deeply congested in patches, having its epithelium also cracked and broken up. Tho palate was much ex�coriated over its whole extent, as was also the dorsum of the tongue, and the walls of the fauces, the follicles

being filled with exudation matter (Plates 4, 6, and 10). Tho larynx was greatly congested, and its lining membrane covered with exudation. Tho trachea contained a good deal of bloody spume ; its lining membrane was hannorrhagic. Tho lungs were congested, and tho loft one emphysomntous (Plato 13). Heart free from occhymosis. Pharynx and upper part of the laquo;esophagus in an aphthous condition. Rumen and reticulum unchanged. Omasum con�gested in patches (Plato 13), some of tho folds being healthy. Abomasum inflamed in patches, and its folds covered hero and there with much exudation matter. Duodenum inflamed at its origin, and the other small intestines also, here and there along their course. Ileo-coecal valve much inflamed ; largo in�testines in a similar condition, but, in addition, having their follicles in several places filled with exudation matter, so as to give tho surface a cribri�form appearance. Terminal portion of the rectum greatly congested (Plate 3). Liver healthy ; gall bladder full, and its coats congested. Kidneys and bladder healthy, A microscopic examination of the exudation taken from the throat showed large numbers of granular colls (Plato 5, fig. 18).

Although tho history of the animals, and also a careful investigation of all facts of tho case failed to show even a probability of the disease being plague, it was deemed right to have recourse to the test of inoculation. No disease followed this test, nor was any other animal of the herd attacked.

Herd 2.�Consisted of upwards of sixty animals. One was attacked. It was ordered by the inspector to be killed, but died in tho interim. The carcase was buried. It was not disinterred, as the inquiry showed that the animal was not likely to have been affected with the plague. By this time, also, the further evidence obtained in the case of the animal belonging to Herd 1. had satisfied us that the disease was not infectious. Subsequently, however, to the attack, tho owner, fearing others might become dis�eased, slaughtered the whole of them. This, how�ever, was not done expeditiously, so that between the slaughter of tho last ten animals and the date of the illness of tho bullock which died no less than twenty-five days elapsed. During this time every animal continued healthy.

Herd 3.�Consisted of three animals. One was attacked, the symptoms being identical with those seen in the other cases. The animal was killed and buried. For the reasons previously assigned, no imst mortem examination was made.

We select another case, which occurred in Lincoln�shire. In this instance, tho animal was one of eleven, all of which had been bred on the farm. Cattle plague had not existed in the neighbourhood for upwards of twelve months, and had at no time visited this farm. The inspector having doubts as to the nature of the disease, did not have the animal destroyed until tho fourth day of illness. On arriving at the farm we found all the other animals with which the affected ono had been horded to bo free from disease. Tho post-mortem examination showed tho lips, mouth, and palate to be much congested, and excoriated. A copious exudation covered the surface. The larynx and upper portion of the tra�chea were much congested. Lungs emphysomatous. Heart healthy. The rumen, reticulum, and omasum healthy. Abomasum deeply congested in patches, especially on its folds, with petochial spots in abun�dance on other parts of tho viscus. Small intestines congested here and there. Zebra markings and patches of congestion in colon, llectum, bladder, and liver healthy. Gall bladder filled with thick and dark-coloured bile.

Besides these examples of isolated cases simulating cattle plague both in their symptoms and lesions, several others occurred in different parts of tho country, and especially in the northern and midland counties, which were officially investigated. To par�ticularize those cases would, however, only be to repeat details such as have boon already given. Tt

is a somewhat notoablo circumstance that in the majority of those cases, consultiitioiis were hold between veterinary surgeons, which rosultod in tho disease being declared to bo cattle plague. It is diiflcult to account for this, excepting on the ground that tho plague was believed by many to bo an epizootic affection, which could bo carried through tho inodiuni of the atmosphere to far distant places, us well as spread in tho immediate locality by infection, and fur�ther that it often had a spontaneous origin. Veterinary surgeons wore not singular in entertaining these erroneous views. They were held most tenaciously by many members of the medical profession, and also by the public. So far, indeed, as the public was concerned it may bo reasonably doubted whether it was over convinced to tho contrary. It is also not too much to say that tho medical profession as a body ultimately yielded only to the force of circum�stances. With many of them it is to bo feared that after all they were merely convinced, not converted by the truths, attaching to tho outbreak and spread of the cattle plague.

It will have been observed from tho foregoing par�ticulars that in the majority of tho cases of disease which were investigated, the non-infectious nature of the malady was apparent from the circumstance that only one animal of the herd was attacked, tho rest continuing in good health. Exceptional instances, however, were met with in which the disease appeared to assume for a time tho character of an infectious malady, and rapidly to extend to several animals in succession. Subsequent events, however, proved that the resemblance was only fortuitous.

Reference may now be made to some cases of the kind alluded to. We select first for illustration an outbreak of a fatal disease among a herd of cattle in Yorkshire. The animals had been reared on the farm, and had continued in good health until within a fortnight of the time of the attack, when they were removed from pasture to the straw-yard. From the account which was received at the Veterinary Department, it appeared that two of the animals were attacked with a disease resembling cattle plague, and that after a short illness both died on the same day. Two other animals of the herd were attacked with exactly similar symptoms in the course of a few more days, and in one of them tho condition of the mouth was so similar to that which was presumed to bo a pathognomonic sign of plague, that taken in connexion with the other evidences, such as diarrhoea, loss of appetite, increased breathing, tremulous pulse, cold surface of body, staggering gait, and great prostration of strength,�symptoms which had existed in all,�no hesitation was felt by the inspector in deciding that the animals were the sub�jects of the plague. The sick animals were promptly destroyed and buried; and another was slaughtered by a butcher.

The investigation, which was made within a week of these occurrences, showed that the disease from which the cattle had died was gastro-entcritis. At the time of the inspection all the remaining animals of the herd were in perfect health ; the highest tem�perature of any one being 102'4. No case of cattle plague had existed in tho locality for many weeks, and at the time of this occurrence the plague had nearly ceased in the country. The four buried animals were, nevertheless, exhumed and examined. One only gave any evidence of disease of the mouth, and this evidently depended upon local inflammation, pro�bably of a catarrhal character, as it was associated with enlargement and suppuration of the submaxillary glands. Many of the morbid appearances of cattle plague were detected in tho abomasiim, intestines, and respiratory organs. Among tho so-called characteristic morbid appearances was the existence of black markings (sloughs) on the edges of the folds of the abomasum. This lesion is undoubtedly very frequently present in cattle plague, but it is also often met with in gastro-cnteric diseases. Indeed similar black mark�ings have been observed in healthy animals, par�ticularly when some hours have elapsed before the

post mortem examination was made. In cases where carcases, when exhumed, wore found to bo rapidly docomposing, this peculiarity of tho mucous tissues was not unfroquoiitly present; there can, (herefore, bo little doubt that in many instances it is tho result of chemical post-mortem changes, and not an indica�tion of any special disease.

Case 2.�This case ditlbred but little in its leading features from the preceding, although the disease was of another kind. Tho animals, eleven in num�ber, had all been bred on tho farm, and no cattle plague had at any time existed in tho immediate locality. The first animal attacked was a milking cow, which died after an illness of twenty-four hours duration. Two days after her death a second cow was attacked, which also sunk within twenty-four hours. A third animal, a bullock, was taken ill on the same day, and died in sixteen hours from the attack. Four days subsequently to the illness of the bullock, a heifer succumbed to the disease after an illlness only of three hours. With these deaths the disease ceased, and at the time of our visit�tho cases having been reported as cattle plague�the remaining animals had every appearance of health. The post mortem examination of the second cow which died, showed that the abomasum was in a hannorrhagic condition; that the mucous membrane of the small intestines had given way, filling tho canal with quot; spoilt blood.quot; The racsenteric glands were charged with black blood. The largo intestines were much congested, as were also the uterus and vagina. Tho spleen was completely engorged with blood. No hesitation was felt in assigning tho death of the animals to that peculiar blood disease known as splenic apoplexy. Apropos of this disease, it may be stated that in a similar outbreak which occurred in Norfolk, we found the temperature of one of the animals which had been attacked a few hours before our arrival to register 107'2.

Case 3.�This case, on investigation, proved also to be one of those remarkable blood diseases to which both cattle and sheep aro so prone. At tho time the outbreak took place, there were a large number of animals on the farm, but the disease was confined to one small herd. Nearly three weeks elapsed between the attack and the death of the first animal, and that of tho others, when four died and one was killed in the course of three days. Three more were also affected, but the attack being a mild one, they ultimately recovered. None of tho others suffered. One animal only was examined by us jwst mortem. The mouth, throat, and larynx were so enormously congested, that death must in part have resulted from asphyxia.

Appearances, The trachea thickly studded with petechhe. Lungs congested. Heart ; left ventricle, blackened from ecchymosis. Peritoneum covered with spots of cxtravasatcd blood. Rumen congested, par�ticularly in one large patch. Reticulum healthy. Omasum congested in patches. Abomasum healthy. Intestines healthy, excepting coocum, whore ecchy�mosis was also existing. Liver healthy. Spleen per�fectly normal. Here again many of the lesions of cattle plague were met with, although the disease essentially belonged to a totally different class of maladies.

Case 4.�Tho outbreak in (his instance occurred in one of tho southern counties. Again, no cattle plague had existed within many miles of the place for several months, and our preliminary inquiry satisfied us that tho disease could not be plague. Two animals died, out of a herd of throe, within four days. Tho symptoms, as described, were remarkably like those of cattle plague. Both animals were examined, having been left unburied for the purpose.

No. 1. Eyes bloodshot. Gums around the molar teeth much congested, but otherwise mouth free from disease. Larynx healthy. Trachea hannoirhagie and much congested ; no floeculi of lymph. Lungs emphy-scmatous (Plate 13). Ecchymosis at the apex of tho heart and within the loft ventricle (Plate 11). Rumen congested in patches, Reticulum normal, Omasum

intensely congostod throughout, and contentB hard and dry (Plato 1), Abomnsum slightly congested. Small intestines healthy ; largo congested, particularly the coocum. Zobra markings in anterior portion of the rectum. Vagina congested. Uterus healthy.

No. 2. Mouth congested, associated with slight excoriation of the palate. Fauces and larynx con�gested. Trachea free from congestion, excepting at its upper part. Lungs and heart normal. Rumen much congested. Omasum congested, contents par�tially dry and hard. Abomasum much congested; many blood spots on the folds. Small intestines congested ; large, free from congestion, except at the terminal portion of tlio rectum, whore the vessels were enor�mously distended �witji blood.

The animals had evidently died from gastro-onteric disease, tlio result of ordinary causes.

Case 5.�Occurred in Bucks. In this instance, also, two animals were attacked out of three on the farm. One died after an illness of five days, the other was killed on the belief that it was suffering from the plague. The other�a cow�continued well. No cattle plague existed anywhere at the time in the county or near thereto. The cases were again remarkable for the great similarity of the symptoms to those of the plague. Not only was the mouth reddened, and the epithelium cracked and abraded, but a discharge of a viscid kind came from the eyes and nostrils. Diarrhoea was also present, and both twitchings of muscles and tremors existed. One animal also had subcutaneous emphysema. Before death the mouth became of a claret colour, the breath offensive, and the respiration quick and jerk�ing, accompanied with moaning. The post mortem examination was limited to one animal, which was disinterred for the purpose. The lesions were found to bo remarkably like those of cattle plague. The alimentary canal was the chief focus of the disease, the omasum and abomasum being much inflamed. The contents of the former were hard and dry, and closely sticking to the mucous membrane in several places. The contents of the large intestines were liquid, the mucous membrane duly injected, and follicles in places filled with exudation matter. Ordinary congestion only was present in the thoracic organs.

Case 6.�This supposed outbreak of cattle plague took place in North Lincolnshire, in one of the best short-horn herds of the county. The disease first showed itself among four pure-bred cows, which were kept at grass during the day and came into a fold-yard at night. In the same yard were some loose boxes, which were respectively occupied by a young bull, a cow, and two bull calves. As soon as the first animal was observed to be ill she was removed from the Others to another part of the premises and placed in a loose box adjoining one occupied by a very valuable bull, as no suspicion of cattle plague was then entertained. On the next day the veterinary surgeon, who was consulted, expressed an opinion that the disease was probably plague, when it was decided at once to kill and bury the animal, and disinfect the several places she had occupied. The other three cows were also removed to a distant part of the farm, and isolated.

Six days from the date of the attack of the cow, the young bull exhibited symptoms of illness. He was at once taken from the loose box to a quarantine shed ; and as the symptoms of the disease were not quite characteristic of the plague, he was placed under medical treatment. He died on the ninth day of the attack. During the timo of his illness, a second of the four cows was attacked, which at once settled the matter that the cattle plague had really broken out in the herd. Investigation was asked for and obtained. Arriving on flic premises on the fourth day of the illness of the second cow, a rigid inquiry was in�stituted, which soon created a doubt as to the disease being plague, no cases of which were known to be existing at the time on the south side of the Humber. Fifteen days had now elapsed since the first cow was attacked, and the two remaining cows were still in

health. The thermometer registered the heat of each as being under 102deg;. Not only were these animals free from infection, but also the cow and the two bull calves in the boxes in the yard, as well as the bull near to which the first sick cow had been placed. Every other animal of the herd was likewise found to be healthy.

On examining the cow, she was found to be rapidly sinking. The leading symptoms wore, pulse tremulous and nearly indistinct; respiration accom�panied with moaning, and numbering 25 in the minute ; surface of the body cold ; internal temperature 100-6 ; abdomen tympanitic; diarrhoea, the evacuations being pale coloured, and occasionally stained with blood; vagina discoloured ; conjunctiva injected ; mucous discharge from nostrils ; epidermis peeling from the muzzle ; buccal membrane of a claret colour, and covered with exudation ; extensive excoriation of gums and palate ; fetid odour, amp;c. She was re�cumbent, and had made no effort to rise during the last 24 hours. We learned also that the symptoms had gradually increased in severity from the first. Notwithstanding the similarity of the symptoms to the plague, we decided that the malady was malignant aphthous fever, and as the disease was not infectious, so most likely no other case would occur. The sequel fully proved the correctness of the opinion, as the disease ceased with the death of this animal.

Case 7.�An outbreak of a malignant disease, which not only resembled cattle plague in many of the symptoms and morbid appearances, but also presented some of the characters of an infectious malady, occurred in the latter part of 1867 at Hartford, in Cheshire. The first animal was attacked on August 12th and died on August 17th.

A second, a young stirk, fell ill on August 25th, and died the same day.

A third, a cow, was attacked on September 3rd, and died on September 7th.

A fourth, a cow, was observed on September 6th to be affected with the same disease. A consultation took place in this case, which resulted in the cow being destroyed on September 9th, by order of the Inspectors, as a plngue-infccted animal. The official inquiry, which was instituted on September 11th, led to the conclusion, quite irrespective of the symptoms presented by the sick animals, or the lesions which had been observed after death, that the disease was not cattle plague. That the lesions were re�markably similar to those induced by cattle plague cannot, however, be doubted. In fact, several expe�rienced inspectors in different parts of the country, after making an examination of the diseased viscera, agreed in the opinion that the lesions were entirely due to that disease.

All the evidence which was obtained during the investigation was, however, opposed to this conclusion.

First.�Cattle plague had ceased in the district eighteen months before the outbreak of the disease in question, and no fresh stock had been introduced on to the farm for the last nine months.

Secondly.�Since the discovery of the infection on August 12th up to the day of the commencement of the inquiry, a period of 30 days, only four animals, out of a herd of 30, had succumbed. All the others remained healthy. Indeed none of them indicated a rise of temperature.

Thirdly.�Two of the cows attacked had suffered from cattle plague in 1866, and had recovered. There were also eight others on the farm.

In accordance with this evidence, an opinion was unhesitatingly given to the effect that the disease was not contagious in its nature, nor in any way allied in its pathology, to cattle plague.

Subsequently to the conclusion of the inquiry, two or three other animals of the herd were attacked, after which the disease ceased entirely.

Case 8.�The last case which wo select for illus�tration was one which created a good deal of interest. It occurred in Scotland, sixteen months subsoqliontly to the plague having been oU'ectually stamped out in

that couutiy, and about two montlw at'tov its ox-termination in England.

Tho animals which formed tlio subject of the official inquiry wore 30 yonrling Hhort-horns, which had been purchased in Yorkshire by a large cattle dealer, and forwarded by railway to Berwick, with a number of older animtils, inuking in all 112, From Berwick the 30 yearlings travelled by road to the farm of tho gentleman for whom they had been bought, going part of the distance with 13 older animals, part of the 112, sent by the dealer to another purchaser. Arriving at tho farm the yearlings were put into a fold-yard, and supplied with oat straw and water only. They are said to have been overdriven, and to have been found wet from perspiration on the morning following their arrival. They remained two nights and one day at tho farm, and were then removed to another, distant about a mile and a half. Hero they wore pastured during tho day on a piece of quot; old seeds,quot; and also on some meadows containing much rough grass. At night were brought into tlic fold-yard and fed principally on oat straw. Thoy are also said to have had a somewhat scanty supply of water. Nino days after their arrival at the last-mentioned farm, two or three of them gave indications of ill health. On tho following morning four were decidedly ill. They were seen by a veterinary surgeon (not the inspector of the district), who, recognizing symptoms allied to those present in cattle plague, sought tho assistance of another veterinary surgeon. The next day both veterinary surgeons attended again, and as two of the four animals were now dead, post mortem examinations were made, which confirmed the opinion which had been pre�viously entertained of tho nature of the malady. The inspector was at once communicated with. He arrived the following morning and found that a third animal was dead and another attacked. Another 2gt;^ostmortem examination was made, which resulted in the inspector agreeing with the other veterinary surgeons that the disease was cattle plague. The two sick animals were therefore killed, and buried forthwith, and the outbreak reported to tho local authority, who declared the place infected, and sent police to see that the infected herd was confined entirely to the fold-yard, that all communication with surrounding farms was cut off, and all cattle traffic stopped in the district.

Before leaving the promises the inspector isolated two more of the animals which he thought gave some indications of being affected. Six days after�wards these animals wore returned to the others, they having been in the interim inspected by two of the Professors of the Edinburgh quot;Veterinary College, #9632;who thought there was not sufiiciont evidence of the existence of the plague in the herd. On the same day, however, that these two animals were returned to the herd, another was attacked so violently that the Professors were again sent for. Accompaniod by a third�the Professor of Cattle Pathology�they again attended, and after an examination of the dis�eased animal, and a re-inspection of the entire herd, they agreed that the disease was cattle plague. On the following day, tho affected animal died. 'The local authority now sought an oflicial inquiry, that among other things a post mortem exumination might be made of this animal. In the mean time a respite of tho other animals was granted. On our arrival at tho place, the second day after tho visit of the Edin�burgh Professors, wo found that two more of the animals had been attacked, and one of the convalescents had also relapsed. These animals received our first atten�tion, which, however, did not satisfy us that they were the subjects of cattle plague. The symptoms wore those of gastro-enteric fever. The tempera�ture of each was respectively 102, 102-4 and 102'8. The temperature of all tho other animals, 21 in number, was next taken, and in no instance was it found higher than 102'8. In tho convalescent animal alluded to, it only registered 101'8. The inquiry was continued on tho following day. Tho local authority having ordered that the three sick animals

should bo at once slaughtered, we wore thereby enabled to make four post mortem examinations. The lesions met with in the three slaughtered animals varied slightly, but were on tho whole fully confirmatory of tho view wo had taken of tho nature of the disease. Congestion more or less diffused existed in the mouth, stomachs, and intestinal canal of all tho animals. In one the omasum was filled to repletion with dry and hard ingesta.

The lesions existing in tlie animal which had died were:�Mouth highly congostod in patches, and covered here and there with exudation matter; separation of the epitliolium from the palate in spots, showing the membrane beneath intensely congested ; surface and root of the tongue, the velum paluti, boundai-ios of tho fauces and larynx, in similar con�dition to the buccal membrane ; the trachea was of a bluish-black colour, chiefly as the result of post mortem changes ; it contained, however, effusions of lymph. Right lung congested. Heart healthy. Kumen congested in patches, from which tho epithelium easily separated. Reticulum healthy. Omasum con�gested, but not to a very great extent. Abomasum congested, more especially near tho pylorus, where also some exudation matter was met with. Small intestines congested in patciios throughout their whole course. Ileo-coocal valve claret coloured. Zebra markings in tho colon; terminal portion of the rectum much congested. Liver healthy ; gall bladder full. Kidneys healthy. Spleen covered with small hcemorrhagic spots.

The report made to the local authority led to the lives of the remaining twenty-one animals being spared; and with a view to arrest the further progress of the disease, instructions were given for the future management of the animals. Especial attention was directed to an entire ehaugo of food. No other case occurred, and, from the date of our visit, all the animals went on to the entire satisfaction of their owner.

In concluding this narrative of these cases it may be stated that their importance justified our testing the opinion formed of the nature of the disease by submitting some animals to the test of inoculation. Immediately on our return to town, three animals� two heifers and a steer�were inoculated with matter obtained from the nostrils of one of the diseased animals. No effects followed in either instance. Strict inquiry was also made with regard to the state of the rest of tho 112 animals, when it was found that without a single exception they had continued in perfect health from the time of purchase down to tho date of our investigation.

Besides such cases as here narrated, it has occasion�ally happened that an affection resembling cattle plague in many important particulars has broken out in a herd of cattle, and destroyed some of the animals at in�tervals of a fortnight or longer, and then ceased. Tho reverse of this Las also occurred. Thus it will be seen in the report on tho alleged outbreak of cattle plague in the Isle of Man, that au account is given of an affection, which in its morbid appearances closely resembled cattle plague, attacking animals almost simultaneously at distant points, but not manifesting a tendency to spread in the same herd. In every case of this disease that was investigated, how-over close might be the resemblance in the symptoms and post mortem appearances to the plague, the history of the malady invariably furnished positive evidence of its non-contagious character.

Many more instances of outbreaks of anthrax, gastro-cnteritis, enteric fever, amp;c. might have been added to this record had it been necessary, but suflicicnt have been adduced to prove that in all investigations, the evidence dcdncible from the symptoms and morbid appearances must be accepted with caution, and that more importance should be accorded to the facts appertaining to the history of the animals and the attending circumstances of tho case.

Our communications with several Continental Veterinary Authorities enable us also to slate that

their oxporiouco coincides -with our own. During the deoliue of cattle plnguo in Belgium, some caselaquo; of malignaut disease occurred in the Zoological Gardens at Liege which wore thought to be cattlo plnguo, but subsequent events disproved the idea.

Two stags and some foreign sheep wore first attacked, and these animals, in consequonco of the similarity of the disease to cattle plague, wore at once killed and buried. Strict precautionary measures were adopted for the safety of the other animals, and stops were also taken by Professor Thiernesse, who was despatched to the spot, to isolate the whole establishment. The disease soon ceased, but in order to test its true nature recourse was had to tho inocu�lation of a calf with matter obtained from one of the diseased animals. No effects followed.

Later on, an outbreak of the plague was believed to have taken place near to Antwerp, which created much anxiety for fear of tho re-introduction of the malady into England. Professor Thiernesse, was re�quired to investigate tho disease and officially report upon its nature. At our special request the Professor has kindly favoured us with his views of the nature of the malady. The following extract from Ids letter contains the chief particulars.

quot;Brussels, Jan. 1868.

quot; It does not appear to me that the disease which broke out at some farms at Antwerp in December last was really tho cattle plague, despite the resemblance it bore to that disease.

quot; According to my view, the disease is a form of sporadic typhoid fever, or gastro-cnteric fever, similar to the affection which has recently been observed in England, and which has been mistaken lor the plague. 1 am the more induced to believe the disease has been spontaneouly developed under the influence of local causes, as it has followed a course so irregular to that of cattle plague, and also because all inquiries have completely failed to show the possibility of the con�tagion of the plague having been taken to the locality.

quot; Between the end of December 1866 to the 22d of April 1867 a malady appeared from time to time near to Antwerp, having much resemblance to cattle plague, which, however, only destroyed 10 animals during tho whole of this period, but 30 others were slaughtered for fear of its spread. The disease then ceased entirely, and no similar cases occurred until Decembor 1867. On this occasion 21 animals have been attacked, and 12 have been killed as a precautionary measure.quot;

In our communications also with Professor Hering, Stuttgardt, wo called his attention to the frequent oc�currence of cases in England in which lesions identical with those seen in cattle plague were met with. In reply he stated quot; that the same fact had been observed in Wurtemburg and other German States, and that only a few days prior to the date of his letter, an op�portunity hud been afforded him of examining the car�case of a cow which had died in consequence of injuries done to the oesophagus, in some rude attempts made by unprofessional persons to remove a portion of turnip from tho canal; and that in addition to the lesions which he discovered, consequent on these injuries, he found the abomasum and small intestines much inflamed, and here and there the commencement of ulccration of the mucous membrane. He adds, that the condition of the parts was so peculiar that had cattle plague been existing in the country many persons, ignorant of the facts of tho case, would have regarded the lesions as proofs of that disease.quot;

quot; Similar lesions of the stomachs and intestinal canal, he says, are not unfrequently met with in the neigh�bourhood of towns, where cows are kept on the garbage

of tho place.quot; He further adds, that quot; it is now admitted by scientific investigators, that cattlo plague cannot be recognized by a more study of tho symptoms presented by an animal, nor by nn examination of tho lesions discoverable after death.quot;

Tho following conclusions may bo taken as express�ing tho general results of tho inquiries which were instituted by us during the existence of the plague from June 1865 to January 1868 :�

First. That no one symptom or lesion, nor even the combination of several of the symptoms and lesions ordinarily seen in cattle plague, can ho accepted as positive evidence of the existence of the disease, without the concurrent testimony of all the essential conditions under which the malady has been developed, and especially without direct proof of tho disease being in�fectious in its nature.

Secondly. That it is not always possible, upon tho evidence afforded by the most minute post mortem examination, aided by microscopic ob�servation, to decide whether or no an animal had been the subject of cattle plague, presuming that the question arises in reference only to a single case of disease, and that no proof is obtained beyond that which is afforded by an inspection of the morbid parts.

Thirdly. That in certain exceptional instances, even the examination �f n diseased animal both during life and after death, will not enable tho inquirer to assert positively, and without risk of error, that the disease is cattle plague, or some non-eontagious affection, tho symptoms and lesions of which closely resemble those of plague.

Fourthly. That notwithstanding tho obscurity which often attends the manifestation of the cattle plague, owing to some peculiarity of con�stitution of the animal, and the varying effects of certain local influences, the question of the existence or non-existence of plague in a herd of cattle may be absolutely and with certainty decided, if the inquiry be of a sufficiently com�prehensive character to include not only the symptoms and post mortem appearances of the disease, but also all the facts connected with its origin and progress, together with the probable source of infection, period of its incubation, and such other circumstances attaching to the history of the diseased animals as will present themselves to the mind of the inquirer in the course of his investigation.

Cattle plague takes a uniform course, and rarely spares a single animal of the herd in which it appears. The number of attacks always increases as the disease advances, a single case being followed by three or four others at tho end of a short interval, seldom more than four or five days. These additional attacks are succeeded by a still greater number, necessarily vary�ing according to the size of the herd. Without exception, whenever cattle are congregated in large herds, they will be struck down rapidly if the plague be among them. Small herds do not succumb so quickly in proportion. The infection will often occupy as long a time in spreading through a herd of seven or eight animals, as it will through one of twenty or thirty. The reason of this is obvious, namely, that where few animals are collected together there is a less amount of active poison in circulation, and a less probability of its being brought into immediate or constant contact, except under peculiar conditions, with the unaffected portion of tho herd.

Digest of Acts of Parliament and of Orders issued by the Queen in Council or by the Lords of the Privy Council relating to the Cattle Plague.

1848-1864.

At tho time of tho outbreak of tho Cattle Plaguo in England in the year 1865, tho power of tho Com-missionors of Hor Miijesty's Customs to deal with foreign animals imported alive into Great Britain was given and regulated by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 28th day of July 1836.

This Order was issued under the authority of tho Aet 11 amp; 12 Viet. e. 105., dated 4th .September 1848, and intituled quot; An Aet to prohibit the impoi'tation of quot; sheep, cattle, or other animals, for tho purpose of quot; preventing tho introduction of contagious or in-quot; fectious disorders,quot; #9632;wherein power is given to Her Majesty, from time to time, by Order in Council, to pro�hibit the importation into the United Kingdom, or into any port, of cattle, sheep, horses, or other animals, in order to prevent contagion in this country, as also to make, by Order in Council, regulations for subjecting such animals to Quarantine, or for causing the same to be destroyed, or for destroying hay, straw, fodder, or other article whereby contagion may be conveyed, and generally to make such regulations, with respect to tho importation of such animals, as may bo necessary to prevent the introduction of any contagious or infectious disorder.

The Order in Council of the 28th of July 1856 so issued under the authority of such Act of Parliament, orders that if any sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs, when imported, shall appear to be infected with any con�tagious or infectious disorder whereby contagion or infection may be conveyed, they may be seized and detained by the officers of Her Majesty's Customs at the port of import, together with all or any of the sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs brought in the same vessel, and all hay, straw, fodder, or other article by which it shall appear that infection or contagion may be conveyed, the circumstances of such seizure and detention to be forthwith reported by such officers to the Commissioners of Customs ; and if it be certified to the Commissioners by any veterinary surgeon appointed by them to inspect such animals that any of them are labouring under any such disorder, then the Commissioners may cause such animals as are so certified to be forthwith destroyed, and the Commis�sioners are thereupon to give directions cither for destroying or for further detaining all or any of the sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs which may have been so imported in the same vessel with those so certified, together with all such hay, straw, fodder, or other article, or for restoring the same to the owner, and upon payment by tlie owner of tho expenses incurred by the Commissioners in respect of the detention.

A second Order in Council, issued by Her Majesty under the authority of the same Act of Parliament, and dated the 17th of November 1863, provides for the disposal of the carcases of sheep, cattle, horses, or animals which may have died during tho voyage and remain on board tho vessel at the time of her arrival in any port of tho United Kingdom.

This latter Order provides that it shall be the duty of the master of the vessel to report the fact of such carcases being on board to the Collector or Principal Officer of Customs at the port, immediately upon the arrival of the vessel, and no such carcase shall be dis�charged or landed without the permission in writing of such Collector or Principal Officer of Customs ; and it shall be the duty of the master of the vessel, if required, again to proceed to sea and throw overboard all the Carcases within such time and at such place, or at such distance from the nearest shore, and at such a state of the tide as directed.

Tho Order also prohibits the importation of any sheep, cattle, horses, or other animals on board any vessel the master of which shall not comply with these regulations, and all such animals which shall bo

This Act, after reciting that sheep-pox or Variola Ovina then prevailed in the United Kingdom, and making it a penal offence to expose for sale animals suffering therefrom, as also to depasture infected sheep, or to expose for sale meat unfit for human food, gives power to the Privy Council to make Orders and Regulations for quot; prohibiting or regulating tho re-quot; moval, to or from such parts or places as they quot; may designate in such Order or Orders, of sheep, quot; cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of moat, quot; skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any quot; animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles quot; likely to propagate infection; and also for tho quot; purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or quot; other place, or any waggons, camp;rts, carriages, or quot; other vehicles; and also for the purpose of directing quot; how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any quot; animals, parts of animals, or other things seized quot; under the provisions of this Act, are to bo disposed quot; of; and also for the purpose of causing notices to quot; be given of the appearance of any disorder among quot; sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any quot; other Orders or Regulations for tho purpose of quot; giving effect to the provisions of this Act, and quot; again to revoke, alter, or vary any such Orders or quot; Regulations; and all provisions for any of the pur-quot; poses aforesaid in any such Order or Orders con-quot; tained shall have the like force and effect as if tho quot; same had been inserted in this Act ; and all persona quot; offending against the same shall for each and every quot; offence forfeit and pay any sum not. exceeding quot; twenty pounds, or such smaller sum as the said quot; Lords or others of Her Majesty's Privy Council quot; may in any case by such Order direct.quot;

This Act then provideraquo; that all Orders issued under its authority are, within 14 days of being issued, to bo published twice in the London Gazette, and if they apply to any particular place, then they are also to bo twice published in some newspaper circulating in the County in which tho place is situated.

Copies of the Orders are also to be laid before both Houses of Parliament.

The Act contains provisions respecting the recovery and application of penalties, and for protection of persons acting in execution of tho Act. or of any Order under it, and a saving for the rights of tho Corporation of the. City of London.

The Act provides for appeal to the Quarter Sessions on security being given. Tho appeal is to be made, within 4 months, and 10 days notice, staling the nature and grounds thereof, is to be given to the party against whom the appeal shall bo brought, the Quarter Sessions being empowered either to hear the appeal in a summary way, or to adjourn it to the following Sessions.

November,

On the M of November 1865 nn Order was passed revoking the Order of the 29th of September 1865 isolating the Island of Lewis, and prohibiting the re�moval of any cow, heifer, bull, bulloek, ox, calf, sheep, or lamb into the North Western District of Scotland from any other part of Great Britain.

The North Western District of Scotland is defined to mean sind embrace the whole of the county of Argyll in Scotland, and the whole of Scotland lying to the north and west of the Caledonian Canal.

This is not, however, to affect the movement of any cattle from any port or place within the North Western District of Scotland to any port or place within the same, or within any other part of Great Britain.

The maximum penalty for every offence against the Order is 20/.

An Order dated the 23d of November 1865 consoli�dates and amends most of the previous Orders, and extends to all parts of Great Britain. It revokes the Orders dated 24th July 1865; 11th August 1865, relating to the isolation of diseased animals; 11th August 1865, extending the provisions of the Order of 24th July 1865 to England and Wales; 18th August 1865; 26th August 1865; 22d September 1865 ; and 31st October 1865 ; with the exception of so much of the Order dated 24th July 1865 as empowers the Clerk of the Council to appoint in�spectors within the Metropolitan Police District.

It defines quot;animalquot; to mean cow, heifer, bull, bullock, ox, calf, sheep, lamb, goat, or swine.

It provides for the appointment of inspectors by Local Authorities within their several districts in a similar manner as in the Consolidated Order of the 22d of September 1865, and defines Local Authority in like manner as is defined in sucli last-mentioned Order.

Inspectors are to furnish their Local Authorities with reports of the steps taken by them for car�rying out these regulations, and the Local Autho�rities arc to certify as to the number of days their inspectors are engaged in the performance of their duties, and the number of miles travelled, in such manner as a Secretary of State may direct, and the inspectors are also to furnish the Privy Council with such information as is required. These regulations are similar to those contained in the Consolidated Order of the 22d of September 1865, as are also the regulations as to the notice to be given to the Local Authority hy persons having diseased animals, and the definition of the different officers to whom such notice is to be given.

This Order also contains clauses similar in purport to those contained in the Consolidated Order of the 22(1 of September 1865, with regard to the power of entry by inspectors for the purpose of inspection : and power to inspectors to cause premises to be cleansed and disinfected, and to cause disinfection or destruction of fodder, manure, or refuse matter.

All diseased animals are to bo kept separate, and not sent to a market or fair, or exposed for sale, or be sent or carried by any railway, or by any ship or vessel coastwise, or be placed upon, or driven along, any highway or the sides thereof.

This Order then prohibits the removal alive, either of any diseased animal, or of any animal that has been in contact with a diseased animal, without the licence of an inspector, or, if no inspector has been appointed for the district, without the licence of the Justice of the Peace acting in and for the jurisdiction within which such animal may bo. It then provides that auch licence is to be in writing, and is to only permit the removal of such animal to some place where it

can bo conveniently kept apart from all other animals Until such inspector or Justice is satisfied that there is no reasonable probability of such animal propagating the disorder.

This Order also contains a clause similar to that contained in the Consolidated Order of the 22d Sep�tember 1865, as to exposure of diseased animals on commons or unenclosed lands, and in districts for which an inspector has been appointed their exposure in any field where in the inspector's judgment the animal may propagate the disorder.

The inspector is empowered to direct any suspected animal to be kept separate, and in case the inspector does so direct an animal to be kept separate, and if such direction is disobeyed, the inspector has power in that ease, and in that case only, to seize and slaughter such animal.

The Order then provides in a manner somewhat similar to the Consolidated Order of the 22d of Septem�ber 1865, for the burial of diseased animals as soon as practicable in any convenient place, with their skins, and with a sufficient quantity of quicklime or other dis�infectant, and covered with at least five feet of earth ; or the carcases may, in districts for which an inspector has been appointed, be otherwise disposed of, with the consent of the owner, in manner directed by the inspector; the inspector having power to cause the carcase to be disinfected, when necessary, previous to its burial or other disposal.

The Local Authority may prohibit, by notice published in a newspaper, for a time specified in the notice, the removal of animals, or some speci�fied description thereof, either absolutely or under such conditions as the Local Authority may impose with a view to prevent the spreading of the disorder, to any market or fair, or to any place whatever within their jurisdiction for the purpose of exhibition or sale.

Where a Local Authority having published such a prohibition in its district, complains to a Secretary of State that in consequence of the Local Authority of some adjoining district neglecting to publish a notice with a view to a similar prohibition within its juris�diction, there is reason to apprehend the spreading of the disorder, the Secretary of State may publish the notice, which is to have the same effect as if published by the Local Authority. A proviso is added to this clause, to the effect that animals which have been on a person's own premises for fourteen days previous to the sale may bo sold on such premises.

Power is further given to the Local Authority by notice published in a newspaper within their district, and also by notice published in a newspaper within adjoining counties, to exclude from their districts animals, or some specified description thereof, either absolutely or under such conditions as they think fit ; a copy of such notice is to be sent to the Clerk of the Council, who is to publish the same in the London Gazette. There is, however, a proviso, excepting animals moved by railway through such a jurisdiction ; and allowing the movement, with the licence of two Justices acting for the jurisdiction to which the notice applies, of any such animals from premises beyond the jurisdiction to other premises within the jurisdiction in the same occupation.

Notices under this Order may be revoked, renewed, or modified by the Local Authority or a Secretary of State respectively by further notice published in a similar way.

This Order then provides that during the Cattle Plague in the City of London, or the Metropolitan Police District, cows, heifers, bulls, bullocks, oxen, or calves exposed in the Metropolitan Cattle Market, are, before leaving the market, to be marked for im-inediate slaughter (by cutting the hair off the end of the tail), and are to be slaughtered within seven days, and if removed beyond the Metropolitan Police District are to be slaughtered within forty-eight hours after removal.

This Order was to remain in force until the 1st of March 1866.

county in Sessions assembled. The acts of the Local Authorities under tho Con�solidated Order of the 23d of November 1865 arc con�firmed, and in addition to the powers contained in such Order, further power is given to the Local Authority to regulate by notice published in a newspaper tho movement of cows, heifers, bulls, bullocks, oxen, or calves within their district, the Order excepting from this clause the removal of such animals by railway, or if brought by sea, their removal to the nearest convenient railway station for the purpose of carrying them through or out of such jurisdiction.

The Order then provides for a Local Authority revoking, renewing, or varying either their own or any previous Local Authority's notice by a further notice duly published.

The notice required to be given by persons having diseased animals in England to the Clerk of the Jus�tices for Petty Sessions as provided in the Consoli�dated Order of tho 23d of November 1865, is hereafter to be given to the Clerk of the Peace of the County.

This Order came into force on the 3rd of January 1866, and was to remain in force until the 1st of March 1866.

An Order, dated the 20th of January 1866, states that the disorder is generally designated as the quot;Cattle Plague quot; or quot; Rinderpest.quot; It applies to Ireland only. It defines quot;animalquot; as meaning any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, ox, calf, sheep, lamb, goat, or swine, and any horse kept in tho same tield, house, stable, or building with any cattle.

This Order, after providing that in all provisions to be enforced in the Police District of Dublin Metropolis the words quot; County Inspector of Constabulary quot; are to signify one of the Commissioners of the Dublin Metro�politan Police, and quot; Constable quot; is to signify a Super�intendent or Inspector or Acting Inspector of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, and quot; Potty Sessions

Courtquot; is to signify any of tho ofiices of tho Divisional Justices of such district, orders that notice bo given of the disease to tho nearest constabulary station, or if within the Dublin Motropolitiin Police District to one of tho Superintendents of tho Metropolitan Police.

A power of entry is given to tho constables to enter and inspect, and tho constable is to report the result of each visit to the Petty Sessions Court.

It is then ordered that the constable, on obtaining information of disease, is to communioato by the next post, or by telegram if possible, to the Chief Secretary, or the Under Secretary to tho Lord Lieutenant, who is immediately to order a competent person to proceed as inspector, without delay, to inspect. The inspeetor the same day is to forward a report to such Chief or Under Secretary, stating whether in his opinion tho animal is or is not affected with the disorder.

Tho constable is also to communicate to tho nearest Magistrate tho report which he has transmitted to the Chief or Under Secretary, the Magistrate having power to issue an order (to be in operation for three days, or until the inspector finally reports freedom from the disorder, and subject to such conditions as lie thinks proper), prohibiting the removal of tho diseased animal, and requiring all other animals to be kept separate and apart from it.

If the disease is reported in a district not marked out as an infected district, the Lord Lieutenant is to send without delay two or more competent persons to mark out a certain line round the place and they are to lay down the same upon the ordnance map, such place being distinguished by well-defined boundaries, and to be called quot; An Infected District,quot; and they are also to forward a description marked on the ordnance map to the County Inspector of Con�stabulary, whose duty it is without delay to cause a notice describing the boundaries to be posted in all public places within ten miles of the infected district, and from the date of the publication of the first of such notices no fair is to be held in such district, nor is any animal whatsoever to be moved out of it. Animals, however, if certified by tho inspector to be fi'ee from disease, may bo slaughtered and the carcase sent out of such district (excepting the skin and ofhil). Animals carried by railway through such a district are excepted from this pro�hibition.

The skin of any animal dying or slaughtered within such district is not to bo removed until disinfected and the permission of tho inspector obtained.

The police are to prevent the egress of all animals from the infected district, and the transit or passage through (except by railway), and ns far as possible to prevent any animal approaching tho boundaries of tho district, and to prevent the carrying out of any forage, litter, or manure therefrom.

The police are also to cause all frecal matter dis�charged by infected animals to bo collected, as also all litter or other refuse, in the place where tho diseased animal is located, and either to bury it at least four feet deep, or to burn it and bury the ashes.

All dogs in an infected district are to be chained or shut up and prevented from passing out of tho district.

The district is to remain an infected district so long as any case of disorder exists within it, and for twenty-one days after the last case of death, or re�covery, to he certified by the inspector, and until the inspector has certified that all proper precautions have been taken to disinfect.

Tho inspector has power to order any animal certified by him in writing to bo labouring uniler Cattle Plague to bo slaughtered and buried six feet deep and covered with lime in such a spot as he may select, and in cases where it is necessary to carry tho carcase any distance for burial tho inspector is to use all practicable means to prevent infection.

The carcases to bo buried unskiiinod, and the hides so scored as to prevent their being used.

The movement of cattle on rnilwayB is stopped until 25 March 18G6.

The second part of tho Act relates principally to tho levying of rates and expenses of Local Authorities, and to legal proceedings taken under the Act.

Expenses incurred by Local Authorities in pur�suance of this Act, iuclnding compensation for animals slaughtered, aro to bo defrayed out of tho local rate as defined in tho before set out schedule, or out of a separate rate to bo levied in all respects in tho same mauuur us the local rate, and included under tho term quot; local rate.quot;

Tho person rated, if not the owner of tho premises in respect of which ho is rated, may deduct half the rate from die growing rent due to the owner.

quot; Owner,quot; for this purpose to mean tho person entitled to the rackrent, or who would be entitled to receive tho rackrent if such promises were so let; ��rackrentquot; to include any rent not less than two thirds tho not annual value of tho premises out of which the rent issues.

Every Local Authority has power to levy a local rate to the amount required for the purposes of this Act, but every rate or increase of rate levied under this section (the three preceding paragraphs) is in all precepts for tho levy thereof to be described as a separate rate or separate item of rate, and when collected from the individual ratepayers it is to bo collected as a separate rate or specified as a separate item of rate.

Where, before the passing of this Act, any person has suffered so great a loss of cattle by Cattle Plague as to entitle him in tlio opinion of the Local Autho�rity to n remission in whole or in part of any rate due from him for tho purposes of this Act, such remission may be granted by the Local Authority.

The balance (if any) of a voluntary rate, raised for tho purpose of paying for cattle slaughtered to pre�vent the spread of Cattle Plague, may, with the consent of the managers of sucii voluntary rate, be applied by the Local Authority (after satisfying itself that the rate has been duly expended for the purpose aforesaid) for the purposes of this Act, and in such case the sums proved to the satisfaction of such Local Authority to have Leon paid by any person to such voluntary rate, and to have been duly accounted for, are to bo deducted from any rate payable by such person under tho provisions of this Act.

The owner of an animal slaughtered under the provisions of this Act, is not to be entitled to recover in respect of insurance any sum which, together with the amount received under the pro�visions of this Act, exceeds the sum he would other�wise have been entitled to receive in respect of the insurance.

The Local Authority in counties in Scotland is to give notice to the Commissioners of Supply of tho sums necessary under this Act, which amount is to he assessed and collected by the Commissioners of Supply according to the real rent of lands and heri�tages as appearing on the valuation roll for the year, and pay over the same to tho Local Authority, and the Local Authority in burghs in Scotland are in like manner to assess and collect the amount required, and all such assessments are to be payable by the tenant, who is to be at liberty to deduct one half from his rent, and all the provisions in regard to recovery of assessments in Act 20 amp; 21 Viet, c.72, intituled quot;An quot; Act to render more ettcetiial the Police in Counties quot; and Burghs in Scotland,quot; are to be held to be in�corporated with this Act,*

When the rate exceeds (irf. In the pound, a Local Authority has power for the purpose of defraying any further expenses under this Act, to mortgage tho local rate for any period not exceeding seven years j

* This is section 21, alluded to in the before-mentioned Schedule (page 359),

and in cases where it exceeds 9d, in tho pound, tho Treasury has power to extend the term of mortgage to any term not oxeeeding 14 years.

The clauses of tho Commissioners Clauses Act, 1847, with respect to mortgages created by the Com�missioners, are incorporated with this Act, and any mortgagee or assignee may enforce payment of his principal and interest by tho appointment of a receiver. In tho construction of those clauses tho commissioners to mean quot; the Local Authority,quot;

Power is given to the Public Works Loan Com�missioners, as defined by quot; The Public Works Loan Act, 1803,quot; with the approval of the Treasury, to advance to any Local Authority, upon tho security of the local rate, without any further security, to be repaid, with interest, within any period as aforesaid, any sums of money to be applied by such Authority in carrying into effect the purposes of this Act,

Every Local Authority is to report to the Privy Miscei-Council the state of the Cattle Plague in their district, ^lancou8-and give such other information with respect to the Cattle Plague, as the Privy Council may require.

Any Local Authority may purchase or hire land for burying animals dying of Cattle Plague or slaughtered under this Act, and in tho case of seaports for pro�viding proper places for the slaughter of cattle, which under this Act cannot legally be removed therefrom alive, and for that purpose the jjrovisious of quot; Tho Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845,quot; relating to the purchase of lands by agreement, are incorporated with this Act.

The maximum penalty for disobedience of this Act Lewa Pro. or of any Order of the Local Authority made under J^J^L it is for each offence 20/,, and where tho offence com- Clauses, mitted is in respect of more than four animals, a penalty not exceeding 5/. for each animal may be imposed instead of the penalty of 20Z.

The Local Authority in Scotland may give informa�tion to the Procurator Fiscal, who may apply to the Sheriff to enforce, by warrant, the carrying out of its Orders.

In Scotland, all thejudicial powers given to Justices and Quarter Sessions, or to Magistrates in boroughs, by this Act, may also be exercised by the Sheriff of the county or the Sheriff Substitute.

4. The Couvt may atyourn the Appoal, and may makt) an Order thoreon as they think just: But nothing in this Section of the Act respecting Apponls is to art'ect nny enactments relative to Ap�peals in cases of summary convictions or adjudien-tions in the City of London or the Metropolitan Police District.

The Act then confirms the Orders of the Privy Council made in pursuance of 11 amp; 12 Viet. e. 107, and of the Orders made and notices published by Local Authorities, under such Orders : And it authorizes the payment of all expenses incurred, previous to the passing of this Act, by any Local Authority in publishing any notices or advertisements under nny of such Orders. Such expenses are to bo deemed to have been duly charged on nny rate out of which such expenses have been defrnyed ; or such expenses may be paid in like manner as expenses incurred pursuant to this Act.

The Act was to continue in force until the 1st of June 1867, and tho end of the then session of Parlia�ment, and no longer, except in so far as respects tho power of levying rates for repaying any sums borrowed under its provisions.

Tho Act contains a proviso that it shall be law�ful for Her Majesty in Council at any time to suspend its operation as respects tho slaughter of cattle.

An Order, dated the 23d of February 1866, con�tinues so much of tho Consolidated Order of 23d No�vember 1865 and of the Orders of 16th December 1865, tho 20th January 1866 amending the Consoli�dated Order of 23d November 1865, and the Order of the 6th February 1866, as is not inconsistent with the provisions of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, as also any notices and orders of Local Authorities under such Orders.

The said Act having altered the Local Authorities, this Order provides that the powers given by the said Orders and this present Order to the Local Authority, shall be exercised by the Local Authority ns con�stituted under such Act only, save that, in any place where no Local Authority shall be duly constituted under the Act until after this Order comes into operation, then, until the constitution of a Local Authority under the Act, the Local Authority for the purposes of exercising the powers of the said Orders shall continue to be such as is defined in the Orders dated the 16th of December 1865, and the 6th of February 1866.

This Order revokes so much of such last two mentioned Orders as is inconsistent with its pro�visions.

March. An Order of tho 3d of March 1866 gives to the members of Her Majesty's Royal Commission, dated the 29th of September 1865, the power of reserving animals ordered to he slaughtered under Tho Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, for experimental treatment.

The object of the Order dated the 14th of March 1866 is so far to revoke the Order of the 3rd of November 1865 as to permit the return pf sheep belonging to persons who occupy lands within the North Western District of Scotland, which were wintering without that district. It defines the North Western District as in tho Order of the 3rd of No�vember 1865. quot;Local Authorityquot; it defines ns in The Cuttle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and the word quot;Inspectorquot; it defines as nny inspector ap�pointed under any Privy Council Order, or under The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and it provides that nny person who occupies lands within the North Western District of Scotland may remove to such lands any sheep of which he is the owner, and which are presently wintering on farms without suoh dis-17966.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Z

Local Authority, and subject to the conditions con-tainod in such licunco.

Every licence is to state tho place where tho sheep havn been wintering and the intended route, and the Order provides that no such liconco is to be signed until a cortilicate, signed by an inspector, has boon produced, certifying that the sheep are free from disease, and that tho county in which they have boon wintering is free from Cattle Plague j such licence is not to bo given, however, if the route passes through a county, which, tho Local Authority has reason to beliovo, is infected with Cattle Plague.

The maxiinum penalty for every offence against tho Order is 20/.

On the 17th of March 1866 an Order was issued Ordor of regulating the cleansing and disinfection of pens, j^�Uif' carriages, trucks, and boats used for holding or istw. carrying animals (defined to bo bulls, bullocks, cows, oxen, heifers, calves, sheep, goats, and swine).

The maximum penalty for every offence against the Order is 51.

An Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated tho Order In 24th of March 1866, prohibits the importation into the MMairah' United Kingdom of cattle (defined to include bulls, islaquo;laquo;-cows, oxen, heifers, calves, and sheep) from tho Netherlands, or which have been on board the same vessel with any such cattle, and gives power to the Commissioners of Customs to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such cattle landed anywhere in tho United Kingdom.

A further Order of Her Majesty in Council of the Order in same date continues in operation, until the 16th ofg'jf^Jh' April 1866, the second paragraph of the seventeenth is�b. section of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, which paragraph prohibits the movement of cattlo (bull, cow, ox, heifer, or calf) on any railway before the 25th of March 1866.

On the 24th of March 1866 was issued an Order Ordorof which applies only to England and Wales, the object jjMaroh' of which was to consolidate as far as practicable all ism. former Orders and to amend and add to them, and is divided into three parts, together with two schedules. Part I. with tho first schedule, and tho regulations in Part II. which relate to the isolation of infected places, and the rules with respect to infected places, were to come into force immediately.

The residue of the Order was not to come into operation until the 16tli of April 1866.

The definitions of various terms differ from former Pakt I. Orders; among others, for instance, the word ^1)cnmtlon9-quot; Cattlequot; is made to mean bull, bullock, cow, ox, heifer, or calf; quot; Animalquot; to mean cattle as above defined, sheep, lambs, goats, and swine.

Movement of Hides nnd Skills, Aft

Where cattle arc moved out of tho district of a Local Authority it is nocessaiy to have ono of these licences, but a Local Authority has power, in casos of cattlo moved within its district, to make regulations for granting licences in such form as the Local Authority pleases, provided that the conditions of such licences are not more stringent than the con�ditions of the before-montioncd licences.

Cattle brought by land from Scotland into England may be moved in England with the same licences that authorize their removal from one district to another in Scotland.

It is forbidden also to drive or allow cattle to stray into any enclosed field without the consent of the owner or occupier.

Hides, skins, horns, and hoofs of animals are pro�hibited from being moved by highway, railway, canal, river, or other mode of conveyance unless effectually covered.

Tho following are however excepted,�

1.nbsp; nbsp;Hides, skins, horns, or hoofs imported from

India, Australia, South Africa, or America :

2.nbsp; Hides, skins, horns, hoofs, or glue pieces that

have been effectually limed for manufacturing purposes.

The burden of proof as to those exceptions is thrown on the person charged with illegally removing.

The Local Authority are empowered to make Orders to prevent the propagation of disease by means of dogs, and may order stray dogs to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of.

Pens, carriages, trucks (to include any horse-box or other vehicle used in the carrying of animals), and boats, carrying animals for hire are ordered, each time they are used, to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in such manner as the Board of Trade may direct.

For the purpose of carrying into effect the provi�sions of this Order power is given to any inspector or other officer, if authorized to do so by any General or Special Order in writing of the Local Authority, to enter any premises in his district where he has reasonable grounds for supposing diseased animals are, or have been, or have been buried or otherwise dis�posed of, as also into any railway premises, amp;c. to ascertain whether the pens, carriages, trucks, amp;c. have been duly cleansed and disinfected, and any person obstructing him is to be considered guilty of an offence against this Order.

Any officer has power, if authorized by the Local Authority, as also has any constable or police officer, to inspect any railway truck, cart, boat, amp;c. in which animals, hay, manure, amp;c. are carried, and to examine the person in charge of the same, and if there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that such removal is in contravention of this Order such officer may apprehend without warrant the person in charge, and take him before a Justice, who is to inquire into the case in a summary manner, and if satisfied that such suspicions are reasonable, may cause, by writing under his hand, such animals or articles to be detained, and the person in charge to be brought before two Justices as soon as practicable. The two Justices are to adjudicate in a summary manner, and are empowered to direct such animals or articles to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of. Animals while detained arc to bo supplied with requisite food and water, and the expenses thereby

Tho person in charge of any nninial being moved (requiring a licence) is, on being required, to produce to any constable, police officer, or officer authorized by the Local Authority, the requisite licence.

The penalty for offending against this Order is for each oftenco not to exceed 201. If the offence is with respect to more than four animals the penalty is not to exceed 51. for each animal, instead of tho penalty of 201; and where the offence is with respect to dung, offal, hay, amp;c., a further penalty not exceeding 10/. may bo imposed for every half ton in weight after tho first half ton.

Any Local Authority may appear before Justices, amp;c., by its clerk, or by any agent authorized by it in writing under tho hands of two of its members� railway companies or other corporate bodies by their secretary, or by any member of their board of management or by any agent authorized in writing, under the hands of any two meinbors of such board.

The following Orders were repealed, so far as Part hi. respects England and Wales, on and after the 16th of SXj.'j⁰'' April 1866.

An Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 9th Order in of April 1866, continues, until the 10th of May 1866, deg;Mmcn the provisions of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, isea. 1866, which would otherwise have become void on the 15th of April 1866, relating to the slaughter of animals affected with Cattle Plague, and of those in con�tact, and the payment of compensa- tion for the same.

On the 11th of April 1866 was issued a Consoli- Order of dated Order for Scotland, which for the most part n�'i⁰' is #9632;'similar to the Consolidated Order for England isw. and Wales, dated 24th March 1866.

The following are tho material differences:�

It came into force on the 16th of April 1866, and applies to the whole of Scotland except the North Western District, as defined in the Orders of 3d No�vember 1865 and 14th March 1866.

APPENDIX III. TO THE KEPOBT ON THE

Any burgh which is nssessod to tho police rate in Scotland may bo annexed to a county in like manner as a borough assessed to tho county rate in England may be annexed to the county under tho Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866.

Tho restrictions as regards movement between sunset and sunrise are oxcoptod from operation within tho limits of a burgh, in tho samo manner as within tho Metropolis or any other city or town in tho English Consolidated Order.

The Local Authority have power, not only to make such Eegulations as they may think fit with regard to movement within their own district, as in the English Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866, but also to regulate such movement from one part of a farm beyond such district to another part within it.

Cattle brought by land from England into Scotland, may be moved in Scotland with the same licences that in England authorize their removal from tho district of one Local Authority to another.

The Order revokes on and after tho 16th of April 1866, so far as regards Scotland, the following Orders: Tho Order of July 24th 1865, of November 23d 1865, of December 16th 1865, of January 20th 1866, of February 6th 1866, and of February 23d 1866, and all notices of the Local Authorities thereunder are then to cease to have any effect.

The North Western District of Scotland, which is excepted from the operation of the provisions of this Order, before detailed, is to be subject to the pro�visions of the Orders of 3d November 1865, and 14th March 1866, such Orders being modified to the following extent ;�The regulations under which tho licences for the removal of sheep into the North Western District of Scotland aro to be issued con�tained in the last-mentioned Order are varied, and the present Order provides that the licence is to state the place in which tho sheep have been wintering, and the intended route, and before any such licence is signed a certificate signed by an inspector or other officer appointed for the purpose by the Local Autho�rity of the county in which such sheep have been wintering is to be produced, certifying that such sheep are free from disease, and that the farm upon which they have been wintering has been free from Cattle Plague for twenty-eight days, and is not within ten miles of an infected place. Further, the licence is not to be signed if the route passes through, or within ten miles of, an infected place.

A Local Authority may make Orders for preventing the propagation of disease by means of dogs, or by the introduction of bones or artificial manures, dung, hay, straw, fodder, or litter, or any articles which, in the opinion of tho Local Authority, are likely to propagate disease, and may order stray dogs and such of the said articles as may be introduced in contra�vention of the Orders of the Local Authority to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of.

No animal is to be removed into any county or district without the licence in writing of the Local Authority of such county or district.

The Order, then, contains a general power to any Local Authority within the North Western District of Scotland to adopt any of the foregoing regulations, not then made applicable to that district.

The forms of licences for the movement of animals are very similar to those contained in the English Consolidated Order of tho 24th of March 1866, the principal difference being in the Store Stock Licence.

The English licence provides that the person signing be quot; one of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace,quot; and the Scotch licence a person quot; having quot; jurisdiction by virtue of appointment by the Local quot; Authority.quot;

On the 14tli of April an Order was passed, the object of which was to isolate the district of South Wales and Monmouthshire from the rest of England and Wales. For that purpose tho Order prohibits cattle (defined to bfl bull, bullock, cow ox, heifer, or

calf) being brought into that district by land, and provides that no cattle brought therein by sea are to leave the place at which landed alive, but aro to bo slaughtered within 48 hours from the time they aro placed on shore.

Tho penalty is as in tho Consolidated Order of 24tli March 1866.

Tho Board of Trade, on tho 16th of April 1866, Board of issued regulations for the cleansing and disinfecting raquo;no A^jfr of pens, carriages, trucks, and boats used for the pur- isoe. pose of carrying animals (meaning bulls, bullocks, cows, oxen, heifers, calves, sheep, lambs, goats, and swine).

An Act of Parliament (29 amp; 30 Viet. c. 15), dated 20 amp; soviet, tho 23d of April 1866, was passed, amending and^0-lls' explaining the Act of 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 107. These two Acts are to be read as one Act, and this Act and the principal Act, in so far as it is amended by this Act, are not to extend to Ireland.

quot; Privy Councilquot; is to mean the Lords and others of the Privy Council, or any two of them.

This Act confirms the Orders of 24th March and 11th April 1866, and empowers tho Privy Council to make the like or any other Orders which they may deem it expedient to make, for preventing the spread�ing within Great Britain of contagious or infectious disorders amongst animals, and may in any such Order direct the slaughter of animals affected by such disorders. And the Privy Council may require Local Authorities to carry such Orders into effect, and may authorize Local Authorities to make regulations.

Penalties and forfeitures in England are to be recovered as under 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 43; Appeals maybe had in manner provided by 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 107 one half of the penalties to be paid to the person suing, and the other half to be applied in manner directed by 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 107.

Penalties and forfeitures in Scotland are to be recovered in manner directed by the Summary Proce�dure Act, 1864, and the term quot;Justice or Justicesquot; is to include any Magistrate having jurisdiction in Scotland under such Act.

Any Order or regulation of the Privy Council is to bo valid if published once in the London Gazette, and if it relates to any particular place it is also to be published (at the expense of the Local Authority), in a newspaper circulating in that place, or in such other manner as the Privy Council may direct.

Orders and regulations of the Local Authority are to be published in manner directed by the Privy Council (at the expense of the Local Authority).

Orders of the Privy Council may be proved either by a copy of the Gazette, or by a copy purporting to be printed by the printers of Her Majesty, and Orders and regulations of the Local Authority in any of tho following modes :

First, by the production of a copy of a newspaper containing a copy of such Order or regula�tion ; or. Secondly, by the production of a printed copy of such Order or regulation purporting to be cer�tified to be a true copy by the Clerk of the Peace where the Authority are Justices in General or Quarter Sessions assembled, or by the Clerk of Supply in the case of counties in Scotland, or by the Town Clerk in the ease of an Authority having a Town Clerk or other Officer or by such other Officer as the Privy Council may prescribe. And any such Order or regulation is, until the contrary is proved, to be deemed to have been duly made and issued at the time at which it bears date, and in tho case of an Order declaring a place to be an infected place by reason of the existence therein of^ any infectious or contagious disorder amongst animals, the Order itself is to be conclusive evidence of the existence of such disorder.

No stamp duty is to be payable on, and no fee or other charge is to be made for, any appointment, certificate, declaration, or licence,

An Order dated the 27tii of April 1866 permits the removal, under certain regulations, to the Metro�politan Cattle Market at Islington, for immediate slaughter, of foreign cattle, (which, by the Consolida�ted Order of the 24th March 1866, are prohibited from being removed alive from the town or place where landed, except by sea,) brought by soa from any place out of the United Kingdom to any place on the rivers Thames or Medway westward of the Nore Light, from which place there may be a railway on which cattle can bo taken by trains without change of carriages to within 500 yards of the said Market. The following are the regulations :� They are to be landed under the control of the Cus�toms, and convoyed without stopping, except for watering, from the place of landing to the Market; They are to be carried in special trucks, distinctly marked or coloured, and which are to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected ; and After the truck has been used, cleansed, and dis�infected, it is to be immediately returned to the place from which it brought the Cattle. The maximum penalty for an offence against the Order is 5/.

By an Order dated the 27th of April 1866, special provision is made to enable the Local Authority of the county of Westmoreland to make regulations for the admission of cattle and other animals into that county. Such regulations, however, are not to interfere with the conveyance of any animals by railway into, through, or out of the county.

The penalty is as in the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866.

May.

An Order of the 5th of May 1866 contains special provisions and regulations for the movement, until the 1st of June 1866, of cattle bought for immediate slaughter in the Liverpool New Cattle Market at Stanley, Liverpool, to Birkenhead. This Market was licensed under the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866, and by such licence, which was to be in force till the 1st of June 1866, cattle might not bo taken alive beyond the limits of the municipal boundaries of the borough of Liverpool, or, as regards cattle moved to the township of Birkenhead, otherwise than in the manner provided by the above Order. This Order provides that such cattle may be moved into the part of the township of Birkenhead hereafter described, so that they are conveyed along the shortest route from the market across the River Mersey to one of the landing-places at the Woodsidc or the Birkenhead Ferry, and from such landing-place, by the shortest route, to the public slaughter-house belonging to the Birkenhead Improvement Commissioners, and there be slaughtered within 48 hours after their arrival. The part of the township of Birkenhead above referred to is bounded on the east by the River Mersey, on the north and west by the north-westerly side of Argyle-stroct and Wilbraham-street, and on the south by the boundary line between the townships of Birkenhead and Tnmmere.

The penalty is ns in the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866.

On the 9th of May 1866 Her Majesty in Council ordered that the sections of The Cattle Diseases Pre�vention Act, 1866 (28 amp; 29 Viet. c. 2.), relating to the slaughter of aniinals affected with Cattle Plague, and of those in contact, and the payment of compensa�tion for the same, be continued hi force until the 30th of Juno 1866.

The Order of Council of the 26th of May 1866 order of continues the regulations contained in the Consolidated SPISS?*' Orders of 24th March 1866 ami 11th April 1866,18(10. which would have ceased on the 1st of June 1866, and makes additional regulations with regard to the landing of foreign cattle, the movement of cattle, and the cl�imsing of pens and the movement of hay and straw.

All lambs, sheep, goats, and swine brought in the same vessel with any foreign cattle, are to be dealt with in all respects as such foreign cattle.

The Local Authorities are, with all convenient speed, to make regulations with respect to the move�ment of commonablo animals on, to, from, or through commons and wastes, and the depasturing of the same. With regard to the cleansing and disinfection of pens, it is provided that it shall bo sufficient if they are thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in the manner directed by the Board of Trade {Board of Trade Order of \Qth April 1866), once in every 24 hours during the time when used for any animal, and at such other times as the Board of Trade shall require.

A Local Authority has power to make a regulation requiring tho delivery of the licence to a police constable, or other duly appointed person, at the ultimate destination, in exchange for some document acknowledging tho receipt to be signed by such policeman or other person, in a form to be settled by such Local Authority.

All tho regulations in force relating to cattle only, contained in the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866 and in every subsequent Order amending, ex�plaining, and continuing the same, except the Orders herein-after mentioned, and except regulations relat�ing to foreign cattle, and cattle brought by sea from any part of the United Kingdom into England, are made applicable to sheep and lambs in the counties of Buckingham, Cambridge, Chester, Essex, Lincoln, Northampton, Nottingham, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Somerset,

The following are the Orders excepted; The Order dated April 14, 1866 ; The Orders dated April 27, 1866, respectively ; The Orders dated May 5, May 26, and May 31,

1866, respectively; The Orders dated June 7 and 22, 1866, re�spectively ; The Orders dated July 19 and 31, 1866, re�spectively ; except so far as any provisions in any of such Orders apply to sheep and lambs.

In addition to the several parts of animals mentioned in the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866, the hair or wool of cattle, sheep, and lambs is to be included.

Every regulation of the Local Authority made in conformity with an Order of the Privy Council, where there is no other provision, is to be published in a newspaper circulating in the district of the Local Authority.

The penalty is as in the Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866.

An Act dated the 10th of August 1866, continues the Act 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 107, and the Acts 16 amp; 17 Viet, c. 62 and 29 amp; 30 Viet. c. 15 amending the same, until the 1st of August 1867 and end of then next session.

An Act (29 amp; 30 Viet. c. 110.), dated the 10th of August 1866, was passed to amend The Cattle E'iseases Prevention Act, 1866, (29 amp; 30 Viet. c. 2.) therein called the Principal Act, and is to be construed with that Act, and is to continue for the same time, and is to be called The Cattle Diseases Prevention Amend�ment Act, 1866.

It gives power to a Local Authority to borrow money from the Public Works Loan Commissioners for Cattle Act Expenses, (defined to mean all ex�penses incurred by a Local Authority in pursuance of the Principal Act, including any compensation payable in respect of cattle slaughtered in pursuance of the Principal Act, and including the payment of any moneys borrowed under this Act or the Principal Act, or any interest on such moneys,) where the estimated amount of the sum required to be levied for payment of those expenses (whether incurred before or after the passing of the Act) exceeds tho sum that would be raised by the levying of a rate of one shiUing in the pound on the rateable value of the property assessed to the local rate within the district of the Local Authority. The Act gives the Public Works Loan Commissioners power to lend such Authority such sums as may bo required, subject to the following conditions;�

1.nbsp; Every loan is to be made with tho sanction of the

Commissioners of the Treasury :

2.nbsp; The interest is to be at the rate of three pounds

and five shillings per centum per annum ;

3.nbsp; Tho repayment of tho loan is to bo mode by such

number of equal annual instalments, not exceed�ing thirty, as the Commissioners of tho Treasury may determine in their Order sanctioning tho loan :

4.nbsp; Tho said Commissioners may, if they think fit,

authorize tho postponement, for a period not exceeding two years, of any payment of prin�cipal or interest becoming due within tho first three years:

5.nbsp; The repayment of any loan, and tho interest

thereon, are to be secured by a mortgage of the local rate, and it is not to bo incumbent on tho Public Works Loan Commissioners to require any other security :

6.nbsp; Every Local Authority has power to levy and

is to levy such rates as may bo requisite for tho purpose of repaying any loan and the interest thereon :

7.nbsp; The sanction of the Commissioners of tho Treasury

to a loan is to be conclusive evidence that such loan is authorized by this Act; and no objection is to be made by any ratepayer to tho validity of any mortgage for securing any loan under this Act, or to the application of tho proceeds of any local rate to the payment of the principal or interest of such loan :

8.nbsp; The Commissioners of the Treasury may, by

agreement with the Local Authority borrowing any money under this Act, commute into an equi�valent annuity terminable at the time fixed for the liquidation of the annual instalments afore�said, the payments secured by any mortgage under this Act or any portion of such payments. The precept or wan-ant issued by a Local Authority for a local rate is to specify the proportion (if any) which is required for Cattle Act Expenses, and the Board of Guardians Orders are to state the amount in the pound of contribution required for those ex�penses ; and the Overseers are to specify the amount collected for Cattle Act Expenses on the receipt given to the ratepayers for poor rates.

The treasurer of any Local Authority may advance moneys for payment of Cattle Act Expenses.

The statutes applicable to the rates mentioned in The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, are to be applicable to the rates levied for Cattle Act Expenses. An error in the statement of the amount of Cattle Act Expenses in any precept, warrant, amp;c, is not to invalidate it; but the party aggrieved may appeal to the Justices in petty sessions, and the Justices may rectify the error and award compensation, tho amount of such compensation to be deducted by the Appellant from any local rate or contribution to local rate there�after levied on him.

The punishment for forgery of licences, amp;c. is a penalty not exceeding �20, or imprisonment with or without hard labour for a period not exceeding three months, on summary conviction before two Justices, in the manner and subject to the appeal provided in tho Principal Act.

On the 11th of August 1866 an Order was issued by order of the Lords of the Council, which, after reciting that C⁰¹quot;¹laquo;' of quot; the ' Cattle Plague' which has lately prevailed liao. quot; among cattle in Scotland, has now ceased therein,quot; provides that all the restrictions regulating the move�ment of animals within Scotland, as also for the holding of markets, fairs, auctions, exhibitions, or sales of cattle within Scotland, be suspended; this however is not to interfere with the granting of fat stock or store stock licences for the removal of cattle from Scotland to England, or elsewhere beyond Scotland.

Cattle and other animals may be introduced into Scotland from England by land, provided a licence has been obtained from the Local Authority of the county of Berwick, or of Roxburgh, or of Dumfries, into whichsoever of these counties the animals have been first introduced.

In the event of Cattle Plague breaking out in any district in Scotland, the clerk to the Local Authority is

No such licence is to be granted by the Privy Council unless the Lords of the Council are satisfied that no case of Cattle Plague has occurred in the county where such market is to be held within one calendar month prior to the date of such licence, nor unless the market is situated at a distance ex�ceeding 10 miles from any infected place, and no licence is to be granted permitting such a market to be held in any port or other place into which foreign animals are imported.

The penalty for an offence against the Order, and the powers of officers under it, are the same as in tho Consolidated Order of 24th March 1866.

The county of Somerset was, by Order dated the 9th of November 1866, execpted from the provisions of so much of the Order of the 8th of August 1866 as imposes restrictions on the movement of sheep and Iambs, and from the provisions contained in the Order of the 18th of September 1866 prohibiting the holding of markets (except with a licence), fairs, auctions, exhi�bitions, or sales of sheep and lambs, in that county.

Autiiorltitlaquo;, Prevention Act, 1866, relating to Local Authorities

CATTLE PLAGUE IN QKEAT BUITAIN.

385

Where an inspector makes such a declaration of the existence of Cattle Plague, ho is with all prac�ticable speed to send a copy to the Privy Council, and deliver the declaration to the Local Authority, who is to inquire into the correctness thereof, and if it appears to them that Cattle Plague existed as de�clared by the inspector, they are to so determine and declare, and are to prescribe the limits of the in�fected place ; but if it appears to them that Cattle Plague did not exist as declared by the inspector, and the same is certified to them in writing by one or more duly qualified veterinary surgeons they are to so determine and declare, and thereupon the place comprised in the inspector's declaration or affected thereby is to cease to be an infected place.

Any Local Authority as to any place within their district, and the Privy Council as to any place in Great Britain, may by Order declare any premises in which Cattle Plague exists at the date of the Order, or has existed within 7 days before that date, with or without a further area, to be from and after a time specified in the Order an infected place.

The area of an infected place may in all cases of a declaration by the Privy Council include, with the premises in which Cattle Plague has been found to exist, such an area as to the Privy Council seems requisite ; and the area of an infected place may in all cases of a declaration by a Local Authority include, with the premises in which Cattle Plague has been found to exist, all lands and buildings lying contiguous thereto being in the same occupation, and within the district of the Local Authority, and also (except in the Metropolis) an area comprised within one mile from the boundaries of those lands in every direction, but no more.

A Local Authority may include in the area of an infected place any adjoining part of the district of another Local Authority, with the previous consent of that Local Authority in writing signed by their clerk, but not otherwise.

The area of an infected place may in any case be described by reference to a map deposited at some specified place, or by reference to townships, parishes, farms, or otherwise.

An Order of a Local Authority declaring a place infected is to be published by the Local Authority by notices posted in and near the infected place, and iu such otner manner (if any) as they think expedient; and an Order of the Privy Council to the like effect is to bo published in like manner by and at the expense of any Local Authority to whom it is sent by the Privy Council for publication; but any want of or defect or irregularity in publica�tion is not to invalidate any Order.

With respect to the Metropolis the Privy Council may by Order extend the limits of an infected place beyond the boundaries of the premises where Cattle Plague is declared or found to exist.

An Order of the Privy Council relative to an infected place is to supersede any Order of a Local Authority inconsistent with it.

The following rules are to have effect with respect to infected places :�

1.nbsp; No animal is to be moved alive out of an

infected place:

2.nbsp; The hide, skin, hair, wool, horns, hoofs, or offal

of any animal, or any part thereof, shall not be moved out of an infected place without a licence signed by an oflftcer of the Local Authority appointed to issue licences in that behalf, certifying either that the thing moved has not formed part of an animal affected with Cattle Plague, or of an animal that has been in the same shed or stable, or in the same herd or flock, or in contact with an animal so affected, or that has been disinfected:

3.nbsp; The carcase of an animal, or a single portion of

raw meat weighing more than 20 pounds, is not to be moved out of an infected place without a licence signed by an officer of

179G(5.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;³

the Local Authority appointed in that

behalf, certifying that the carcase or meat

moved is not the carcase or part of the

carcase of an animal affected with Cattle

Plague :

4. Any dung of animals, and any hay, straw, litter,

or other thing commonly used for food of

animals or otherwise for or about animals,

is not to be moved out of an infected place

without a licence, signed by an officor of the

Local Authority appointed in that behalf,

certifying that the thing moved has not been

in contact with or been used for or about any

animal affected with Cattle Plague, or that it

has been disinfected:

But with respect to the Metropolis the Privy

Council may from time to time by Order vary these

provisions.

The rules of this Act with respect to infected places are not to restrict the moving of any animal or thing by railway through an infected place, such animal or thing not being stopped within the infected place.

The Privy Council may from time to time by Order make rules with respect to infected places not inconsistent with the rules of this Act, and rules so made are to be deemed rules of this Act with respect to infected places.

The Act then enacts that it shall be the duty of every Local Authority and of the police to enforce and execute the provisions of this Act, and of any Order of the Local Authority or Privy Council there�under relative to infected places, and to do all such things as are necessary or expedient to secure, as far as may be, the effectual isolation of infected places in r-espect of the movement of animals and things. Any constable may proceed as follows :�

1.nbsp; He may apprehend any person found committing

an offence against the rules of this Act with respect to infected places, and he is to take any person so apprehended as soon as con. veniently may be before a Justice of the Peace to be examined and dealt with accord�ing to Law ; and a person so apprehended is not to be detained in custody by any con�stable, without the order of a Justice, longer than is necessary for bringing him before a Justice, or more than 24 hours at longest:

2.nbsp; He may require that any animal or thing moved

out of un infected place in contravention of

those rules be forthwith taken back within

the limits of that place, and may enforce and

execute such requisition.

The Local Authority by whom an infected place

is declared may at any time after tlie expiration of

28 days from the disappearance of Cattle Plague in

that place by Order declare the place to be free from

Cattle Plague, and tlie Privy Council may at any

time by Order declare any place to be free from

Cattle Plague.

The clerk of a Local Authority declaring a place to be an infected place, or declaring a place to be free from Cattle Plague, is forthwith to report by post to the Privy Council the fact of such declaration having been made.

Where, under this Act, an inspector makes a decla�ration which constitutes a place an infected place, he may also, if the circumstances of the case appear to him so to require, deliver a notice under his hand of such declaration to the occupierH of all lands and buildings adjoining thereto, any part whereof respec�tively lies within one mile of the boundaries of the infected place in any direction, and thereupon the rules of this Act with respect to infected places are, until the determination and declaration of the Local Authority relative thereto In this Act provided for, to apply and have effect to and in respect of those lands and buildings as if the sinne were actually within the limits of the infected place.

The following is the form of Notice of Declaration to adjoining Occupiers :�

I hereby require you, as an occupier of lands and buildings adjoining to such infected place, part [or the whole] whereof lies within one mile of the boundaries of the infected place, to take notice that in consequence of the declaration aforesaid the rules of the said Act with respect to infected places will, until such determination and declaration of the Local Authoi'ity as aforesaid, apply and have effect to and in respect of the lands and buildings of which you are occupier as if the same were actually within the limits of the infected place.

(Signed) A.B.

The inspector of the Privy Council or the inspector of any Local Authority has power to order the slaughter of any animal to ascertain tho nature of any disease, suspected to be Cattle Plague, under which such animal may be labouring, and the owner is to be compensated in the manner provided by The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866.

The Act then gives power to the Privy Council to declare by Order that such of the provisions of this Act, and of any Order of the Privy Council under it, as relate to the Metropolis, or any of those provisions, shall also extend and apply to any town, eity, parish, or place.

Every Local Authority and every Inspector ap�pointed by a Local Authority is to make such reports to the Privy Council as the Privy Council from time to time require.

The Act then empowers a Local Authority to with�hold compensation in respect of any animal slaugh�tered, where the owner or person having the charge of such animal has been guilty, in relation to such animal, of any act in contravention of any of the former Acts or this Act, or of any Order, regulation, or licence of the Privy Council or a Local Authority, or has, in relation to such animal, failed to comply with the provisions of any Act, Order, regulation, or licence in respect of the giving of notice of disease, or in any other respect.

The expenses incurred by a Local Authority in pursuance of this Act, other than for compensation for animals slaughtered, are to be defrayed out of the local rate, as defined by The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and not out of a separate rate, and in every such case the following provisions are not to extend and apply to the local rate, namely:�

The provisions of section 18 of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, relative to the deduc�tion of part of the rate by a person not the owner of premises.

Tho provisions of the same section relative to the describing, collecting, or specifying of the rate as a separate rate or separate item of rate.

The provisions of The Cattle Diseases Preven�tion Amendment Act, 1866.

The Local Authority of a county in Scotland may pay in respect of animals slaughtered in consoquonco of being aflfected with Cattle Plague in the interval between the passing of The Cattle Diseases Preven�tion Act, 1866, and the constitution of the Local

Authority, such compensation as would have been payable in respect of tho same animals if the Local Authority had been duly constituted at the time of the same being slaughtered ; and, if necessary for the purpose of making payment of such compensation, the Local Authority is to have and be entitled to exor�cise tho same powers of assessing and levying money as are competent to Local Authorities in reference to local rates or Cattle Act Expenses under any of the former Acts.

The Commissioners of Supply of a county in Scot�land may assess and collect the local rate mentioned in section 21 of Tho Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, either on and from the tenants of lands and heritages, as therein provided, or on and from the proprietors thereof (and that, notwithstanding any�thing in this Act, either with or without relief against the tenants for one half of the assessment), according as it may be declared in tho resolutions imposing tho same, and with the like powers in regard to the recovery of assessments as are men�tioned in that section.

Expenses incurred by Local Authorities in exe�cuting any Order of Council between the passing of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and tho date of the Order of Council of 24th March 1866, are to be deemed to have been incurred in pursuance of the last-mentioned Act; and the expenses incurred by Local Authorities in executing any Order of Council made under this Act are to be defrayed as such Order directs, and in absence of any such direc�tion are to be deemed expenses incurred in pursuance of this Act.

Each Local Authority is to cause an account of Ratoin their expenditure in compensation for animals slaugh- ^'k tered to be made up to Michaelmas and Lady Day in each year, commencing with the half year ending Michaelmas 1867, or to such other half yearly days as the Poor Law Board direct.

Where from such half-yearly account of a Local Authority it appears that their expenditure in compen�sation in any half year exceeds tho rate of ninepence in the pound per annum on the annual rateable value of the property in the district, the Local Authority may apply to the Poor Law Board for an audit of their accounts for that half year, and the Poor Law Board are to direct an audit accordingly.

With respect to such audit the following rules are to have effect:�

(1.) The auditor is to be appointed by tho Poor

Law Board : (2.) The auditor is to receive such remuneration as the Poor Law Board direct, and the same is to be paid by the Local Authority, and is, with tho expenses of or incident to the audit, to he deemed part of the expenditure of tho Local Authority in compensation : (3.) Tho audit is to be held at a place approved by the Poor Law Board and at the time fixed by the auditor, being as soon as may be after the application for the audit : (4.) Tho auditor is, fourteen days at least before holding the audit, to give notice of the time and place for the holding thereof by adver�tisement in a newspaper circulating in the district, and by a written notice delivered to or served on the clerk of the Local Authority: (5.) The clerk of the Local Authority is to attend the audit, and produce to the auditor all books, bills, vouchers, and documents re�lating to tho account: (6.) Any ratepayer in the district may be present at tho audit, and may object to the account: (7.) Tho auditor is, as nearly as may be, to have the like powers, and be under tho like obligation, to allow and disallow items in the account, as the auditor in tho case of an audit under tho authority of the Poor Law Board of the account of an overseer; and there may bo an appeal by any person

aggrieved by tho decision of the auditor in like manner, as nearly na may be, as in tho case of Buch lust-incntugt;mgt;cl audit: (8.) When the auditor has completed his audit, ho is to sign the account, and is also to sign and deliver to tho Poor Law Board and to the Local Authority a certificate of tho amount allowed: (9.) Subject to tho foregoing provisions, the Poor Law Board may from timo to time make such regulations respecting tho audit as they think fit. If on any such audit it appears to the Poor Law Board from tho certificato of tho auditor that the expenditure of tho Local Authority in compensation within tho half year of account has oxcecdod the rate of ninepence in the pound per annum on the annual rate�able value of tho property in tho district of tho Local Authority, the Poor Law Board is to make a general Order, directed to the several Local. Authorities whose districts adjoin to tho district of the Local Authority on whose behalf tho Order is made, and to tho several Local Authorities whose districts are locally situate (wholly or partly) within tho district of tiie Local Authority on whose behalf the Order is made or within such adjoining districts, and is thereby to require those several Local Authorities to contribute a sum of money to meet such excess of expenditure ; but so that no Local Authority is to be required to contribute any sum of money beyond an amount suf�ficient, together with any cattle rate raised in the district, to bring the charge for the year up to nine-pence in the pound on the annual rateable value.

The sums to be so contributed by Local Authorities are to be assessed on them by the Poor Law Board in proportion to the annual rateable value of the property in their respective districts, to be deter�mined according to the valuation lists, or, where there are none, on such other basis as the Poor Law Board direct.

Tho sum to be so contributed by a Local Authority is to be a debt due from them to the Local Authority on whose behalf the Order is made, and the Order of the Poor Law Board is to be for all purposes con�clusive evidence of the existence and amount of such debt.

The money to be so contributed by a Local Autho�rity is to be deemed expenditure in compensation for animals slaughtered, and is to bo raised accordingly by the local rate or a separate rate, in manner provided by The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866.

The amount when raised is to be paid to the treasurer or other proper officer of the Local Autho�rity on whoso behalf the Order of the Poor Law Board is made.

An Order of the Poor Law Board under this Act is not to be liable to be removed into a court of law by Certiorari or otherwise, nor is an Order of the Local Authority, nor a rate made to carry into effect the provisions of this Act relative to contribution, to be liable to question in a court of law on the ground of its having been made wholly or partly in furtherance of any such Order of tho Poor Law Board.

The Act gives the Privy Council power by Order to regulate the landing in Great Britain of foreign animals, (that is to say, animals brought by sea from any place out of tho United Kingdom,) and to define the parts and limits of the Ports where such animals may be landed, and to prohibit or regulate the re�moval, and regulate the disposal, by slaughter or otherwise, of such animals.

The Act also gives the Local Authority power to provide, erect, and fit up proper places for the sale of such animals, lairs for and slaughter of the same, and for such purpose empowers them lo purchase or hire land or buildings ; and section 2(5 of Tho Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, is to bo deemed to extend to such purchase or hiring, and to enable the Local Authority in that behalf, and.the Local Autho�rity may charge for the use of such places such rates

as they shall appoint, with tho approval of the Privy Council; and all expenses of tho execution by Local Authorities of tho powers of this section are to be deemed expenses incurred by tho Local Authority in pursuance of this Act.

The Act then enacts that it shall bo tho duty of cleansing every Bailway or other Company, and every person jtjffiLt, carrying animals for hire, to thoroughly cleanse and disinfect, in such manner as the Privy Council by Order direct, all pens, carriages, trucks, horse-boxes, vohiclos, and boats used for the carrying of animals, and gives power of entry to inspector, amp;c., whore he has reasonable grounds for supposing that any such pen, amp;c., is to be found, and in respect of which tho requisitions of any such Order are not complied with.

The Act further enacts that if any person exposes piouro-for sale in a market or fair cattle affected withPleuro- PjJwunoiiU, Pneumonia, or sheep atfected with Scab, he shall bo doomed guilty of an offence against this Act, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the Justices before whom ho is charged that ho did not know of the same being so affected, and that he could not with reason�able diligence have obtained such knowledge.

The Privy Council may by Order give directions Disin-respecting modes of disinfecting.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;footing.

An Order of the Privy Council affecting only a Publication particular place, or declaring a place to be an infected ordonTAo place, or to be free from Cattle Plague, and a licence under an Order of the Privy Council, or a revocation of such a licence, issued or made either before or after this Act, is not to bo deemed an Order or Regulation made by the Privy Council within the meaning of section 7 of The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1866, relating to the publication of Orders made by the Privy Council.

Such Orders, licences, or revocations are to be deemed to be and to have been valid if a notice of the issuing thereof is or lias been published once in the London Gaaette.

Any such Order, licence, or revocation is to be published by and at the expense of any Local Autho�rity to whom the same is sent by the Privy Council for publication in some newspaper circulating in the district of the Local Authority, or in such other manner as the Privy Council direct.

Any instrument made under this Act, or under any Forms. Order of the Privy Council thereunder, may be in writing or print, or partlyin writing and partly in print. The before-mentioned forms, or forms to the like effect, are to be deemed sufficient.

If any person does any of the following things he Offences, is to be deemed guilty of an offence against this Act, that is to say :�

(1.) If he does anything for which a licence is requisite under any of the former Acts or this Act, or any Order of the Privy Council thereunder, without having obtained a li�cence : (2.) If where such a licence is requisite, having obtained a licence in that behalf, he does the thing licensed after tho licence has expired : (3.) If he uses or offers or attempts to use as such a licence an instrument not being a complete licence, or an instrument untruly purport�ing or appearing to be a licence, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the Justices be�fore whom he is charged that he did not know of such iiicompletenessor untruth, and that he could not with reasonable diligence have obtained such knowledge : (4.) If, with intent to evade any provision of any of the former Acts or of this Act or of any Order of the Privy Council thereunder, he fabricates or alters, or offers or utters know�ing tho same to be fabricated or altered, any declaration or certificate made or issued or purporting to be made or issued under or for any purpose of any of the former Acts or this Act or any such Order : (.5.)

If he obtains or endeavours to obtain any such licence, certificate, or instrument by means of any false pretence, unless ho shows to the satisfaction of the Justices before whom he is charged that he did not know of such falsity, and that he could not with reasonable diligence have obtained such knowledge : (7.)

The penalty for an oifence against this Act or any Order of Council thereunder not enumerated above, is to be as provided by section 27 of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, (namely, a penalty not exceeding 20/., and where any offence is committed in respect to more than four animals, a penalty not exceeding 5/. for each animal may be imposed instead of the penalty of 201.) ; and where any such offence is committed in relation to offal, dung, hay, straw, litter, or other thing, a further penalty not exceeding 10/. may be imposed in respect of every half ton in weight of such offal or other thing after the first half ton.

With respect to jurisdiction for the trial of offences, the offence is to be deemed to have been committed, and the cause of complaint to have arisen, either in the place where the same actually was committed or arose, or in any place in which the person charged or complained against happens to be.

Also on the 20th of August 1867 an Order, to be Ordwof called The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order ofS��' August, 1867, was issued.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;1867.

The action is to be tried in the county or place where the cause of action arose, and not else�where.

The defendant may plead generally that he acted under this Act, and may give all special matter in evidence. On the trial the plaintiff is not, to be per�mitted to go into evidence of any cause of action not stated in his notice.

The plaintiff is not to succeed if tender of sufficient amends is made by defendant before the commence�ment of the action ; and in case no tender has been made the defendant may, by leave of court, at any time pay into court such sum of money as he thinks lit, whereupon such proceeding and order is to be made by the Court as may be made on the payment of money into court in an ordinary action,

If the plaintiff do not obtain judgment, the defendant is to receive such full and reasonable indemnity as to all costs, amp;c., as may be taxed and allowed by the proper officer, subject to review; and though a ver�dict is given for the plaintiff, he is not to have costs against defendant unless the judge certifies his approval of the action and verdict.

No such animal is to be removed alive from the field, stable, cowshed, or other place where it is; provided that where such animal is not actually affected with Cattle Plague, it may, subject and according to the foregoing provisions of this article, and with a licence from the Local Authority, be removed thence to some place within the district of the same Local Authority, where it can be conveniently slaughtered, or where it can be kept apart from all other animals until the Local Authority are satisfied that there is no reasonable probability of its propagating Cattle Plague. Where an offence is committed with respect to an animal against any of the two last-mentioned sets of rules, the Local Authority may cause such animal to be slaughtered and buried, and may recover from the owner in a summary manner all expenses so incurred. All animals affected with Cattle Plague, whether they have been slaughtered cr have died, are to bo buried by tho owner as soon as practicable, with their skins slashed in such a manner as to prevent their being made of any use, and with a sufficient quantity of quick lime or other disinfectant, and covered with at least six feet of earth, or are to be otherwise dis�posed of as directed by any regulations made by tho Local Authority and approved by the Privy Council.

No such dung or other article is to be removed from the premises where an animal affected with Cattle Plague has been, except for the purpose ot being so destroyed or disinfected and dealt with, and with a licence of an inspector specifying the place at which it is to be destroyed or disinfected and dealt with, nor is it to be moved beyond the limits of the district of the Local Authority in which tho premises are situate without tho consent in writing of the Local Authority into whose district it is moved.

If removed in contravention of this regulation, in addition to its being an offence on the part of the occupier of the premises from which it is removed, and also the person moving the same, the Local Au�thority may cause tho same tobe dcetroyed or dis�infected, and may recover from the occupier in a summary manner all expenses so incurred.

The Order prohibits the holding of markets, fairs, Markets, exhibitions, or sales of cattle except as follows :� raquo;nd Sales!quot;'

other Imuls in the same occupation, situate in tho districl, into v/liicli tlio cattlo aro movod within 500 yards of tho boundary of tho district out of which they wo moved.

^ Cattle also are forbidden to be moved within the district of u Local Authority without such a licence as the Local Authority proscribe ; provided, as fol�lows :�

1. Tho conditions of any such licence are not more stringent than the conditions of tho foregoing licences.

�. No_ regulation of a Local Authority is to autho�rize the owner or purchnserof any cattle, or his bailiff or agent, to consent by his signature or other act to the movement of such cattle.

8. No licence, is necessary for movement within tho district for a distance not exceeding 500 yards from lands to other lands in the same occupation.

Each Local Authority is to send to tho Privy Council a list of the names and addresses of all persons appointed by thorn to grant licences for the movement of cattle, within seven days of their appointment, and the Privy Council may, if they think fit, at any time direct the removal of the name of any person from such list.

Cattle may be moved to a market, exhibition, or sale licensed by the Privy Council either with a Market Licence or a Market Pass ; these are to be delivered to an officer appointed by tho holders of the market, exhibition, or sale, and tho officer is to retain, number (for identification), and carefully preservo such li�cence or pass, and produce the same on demand to an inspector of tho Privy Council, or an inspector or other officer of the Local Authority, or to any police officer (a refusal to do so being an otience against this Order). In the case of an exhibition or sale such a licence or pass is not to bo given except for move�ment from places allowed in the licenco of the Privy Council for tho holding of the exhibition or sale.

Cattle to be moved from a licensed market, exhi�bition, or sale must have a Market Pass to be given to the owner or purchaser by the before-mentioned officer of the market, exhibition, or sale.

In the case of an error being discovered in a licenco for movement after it is granted, any two Justices may by writing subscribed to or indorsed on the licence, correct the error.

None of the previous regulations relating to tho Movement of Animals are to extend to the Metropolis.

Cattle may be moved from Scotland into England with a Movement or Market Licence.

The Order then gives power to Local Authorities to make regulations as to tho movement of animals on, to, from, and through, and the keeping thereof on, commons and wastes.

It is to be considered an offence for persons to drive cattle, or allow thom to stray, into an inclosed field, without the owner's or occupier's permission.

The Order forbids, from and after the 30th of Sep�tember 1867, foreign cattle being landed elsewhere than at parts of ports defined by special Orders of tho Privy Council.

Foreign cattle are to bo marked, within 12 hours after being landed, by tho owner, consignee, or other person landing them, at his own expense, by clipping the hair off the eud of the tail, and in such other manner as the Privy Council direct; and they aro not to be moved alive out of the limits of the defined part of the port at which they arc landed, except in accordance with the provisions of an Order of Council relating specifically to that port.

The following cattlo aro exceptod from the fore�going regulations as to Foreign Animals, namely, cows brought from the Channel Islands or tho Isle of Man, in vessels plying between those islands and England, and not having touched since last leaving England, or those islands, at any place elsewhere than in those islands or England, and not having on board any cattlo except cows born in one of those islands and

not previously removed from those islands, and the following provisions are to apply to such cows :�

1.nbsp; nbsp;In order to entitle any person to the above benefit

in respect of any cows, the master of tho vessel on board which tho same aro so brought, la, on his arrival in port, to deliver to the person appointed by the Local Authority for the pur�pose, or, in default of such appointment, to tho officers of Her Majesty's Customs, a clearance cocket under tho hands or hand of the Principal Officer and Controller of Her Majesty's Cus�toms fet tho place in one of those islands from which such cows are exported, describing the same as being bona fide the produce of, and as having never previously been exported out of the Channel Islands or tho Isle of Man (as the case may be) ; together with a certifi�cate in writing under the hand of the Governor or Lieutenant Governor of such island, certify�ing that the shipper of such cows has made proof before a Magistrate within such island, in the manner required by tho laws relating to the Customs, that such cows are actually quot;the produce of and were born within the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (as the case may bo), and have never previously been removed or ex�ported therefrom ; and also a certificate under the hand of some veterinary surgeon prac�tising within such island, and countersigned by a Magistrate having authority within the same, to the effect that to the best of his knowledge and belief such cows are free from Cattle Plague, and from every symptom com�monly supposed to indicate the presence or approach thereof, and from contagious disease of any kind, and thaf to the best of his knowledge and belief Cattle Plague never has existed and does not at the time of granting such certificate exist in such island.

2.nbsp; No such cows are to be removed from the port

or place alive without a certificate from the Local Authority that they have been examined by some officer appointed by the Local Autho�rity for that purpose, and that they are free from Cattle Plague.

3.nbsp; nbsp;Such certificate is not to exempt such cows

from any other regulation of this Order with respect to the movement of cattle or other�wise ; save that the same may be accepted in the case of a Movement Licence by the person authorized to grant the same, as sufficient for the purpose of the granting thereof, and in the case of a Market Licence, by the Justice, or other person authorized to grant the same, as equivalent to the declaration of the owner or his agent. But this exception is not to apply to any such cows landed at a part of a port defined as before mentioned. Sheep, goats, and swine, brought in the same vessel with foreign cattle, are to be subject to the foregoing provisions respecting foreign cattle.

Hides, skins, hair, wool, horns, and hoofs of animals are not to be carried by any mode of conveyance, unless effectually covered.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; '

The following, however, aro execpted :� (1.) Hides, skins, hair, wool, horns, or hoofs im�ported into the United Kingdom from India, Australia, South Africa, or America: (2.) Hides, skins, hair, wool, horns, hoofs, or gluo pieces, that have been effectually limed for manufacturing purposes: But proof that any of the above come within either of these exceptions is to lie on tho accused.

Any officer authorized so to do by a Local Autho�rity, or any constable or police officer, may stop and detain any animal which is being moved or which he has reasonable grounds for suspecting is being moved in contravention of this Order, and may apprehend' without warrant, tho person in charge and bring him before a Justice, who is to inquire into the case in a summary manner, and has power by writing to direct

the animal to bo detained, and tho person in charge lo bo brought before two Justicos.

Such two Justicos are to adjudicate in a summary manner, and if satisfied may direct tho animal to be slaughtered and buried, or otherwise disposed of as they think most expedient for preventing tho spread of Cattlo Plague.

In like manner any such officer or constable may inspect vehicles used for carrying animals, hay, or articles used for or about animals, and may examine tho person in charge, with a view to ascertain whether any animals or articles are being moved in contravention of this Order; and such officer may, if ho has reasonable grounds for suspecting that such animals or articles are being carried in contravention of this Order, apprehend, without warrant, tho person in charge, and bring him before a Justice, who may pro�ceed as in tho preceding paragraph, the two Justices having power to direct tho animals or articles to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as they think most expedient for preventing the spread of Cattle Plague. The failing to produce (when demanded by a proper officer) tho requisite licence for moving any animal or thing is to be considered an offence against this Order.

The officer detaining any animal under this Order is to cause it to be supplied with requisite food and water, and tho expenses thereby incurred may be reeovered in a summary manner from the person in charge of the animal or from its owner.

For the purpose of carrying into effect the pro�visions of this Order, any inspector or other officer may, if authorized by the Local Authority by general or special order in writing, enter any premises within his district, where he has reasonable grounds for sup�posing that cattle affected with Cattle Plague have been, or have been buried or otherwise disposed of.

To refuse admission to or to obstruct or impede such inspector or officer is to be considered an offence against this Order.

An Order of Council, to be called The Metropolitan order of Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867, was also passed gX^jf on the 20th of August 1867, and was to take effect, ism. except as therein expressly otherwise provided, from and immediately after the 15tli of September 1867 (which time is in the Order referred to as the com�mencement of this Order).

Words in this Order have the same moaning.as in The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867. It first provides that no cattle are to bo moved out of or within the Metropolis except in accordance with its provisions, and that no licence granted (under any other Order of Council) for the move�ment of cattle from a place beyond the limits of the Metropolis is to authorize the movement of such cattle through any part of the Metropolis,

No cattle are to be moved alive out of the Metro�polis ; but where a person occupies a farm or any other contiguous premises partly within and partly without the Metropolis, he may, with a licence from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis or of the City of London, move from one part of such pro�mises to another cattle not affected with Cattle Plague, which have been in his own possession 28 days or upwards immediately previous to the date of such licence, and have been marked in such manner as the said Commissioner of Police directs.

No cattle are to be moved along a highway, thoroughfare, or public place within the Metropolis, except for 500 yards from part to part of the same form, or to water, without such a licence, stating the number and description of the cattle and the place of their destination.

Cattle, to be moved to tho Metropolitan Cattlo Market, must have a licence of the Commissioner of Police as aforesaid ; which licence is to be delivered up to the officer of the market appointed to receive it, and'the same is to be retained, numbered, and carefully preserved by him.

The cattle are not to be moved from the market without a Market Pass to be given to the owner or purchaser by an officer of the market appointed for the purpose. The following is to be the form of the Market Pass:�

Cleansing and Disin�fecting of Pens and Trucks, 4c,

boat, required to be cleansed and disinfected, is to bo cleansed and disinfected once in every 24 hours during the time when it is used for any animal, in

By sweeping out and effectually removing all dung, sawdust, litter, or other matter, from tho pen, carriage, truck, horse-box, vehicle, or boat, and then by thoroughly washing the same with water, and then by applying to the floor and to all parts above the floor of the pen, carriage, or truck, and to the sides, floor, and ceiling of the hold of tho boat, and to every other part of the boat with which animals or their droppings come in contact, a coating of limewash made up by mixing good freshly burnt lime with water,

APPENDIX III. TO THE BBPORT ON THK

Proprietors of slaughtor-liouses in Iho Metropolis are not to receive for slaughter any cattle which have been in the market without the proper Market Pass, nor any cattle which have been brought to the Metro�polis under a licence granted otherwise than by virtue of this Order without receiving; the licence under which they have been moved, anil on the Saturday of every week all the Market Passes and Licences received during the week are to be delivered by such proprietors to the Chief Officer in charge of the police station of the district in which the slaughter-houses are situate.

With respect to foreign cattle (except cattle excepted by The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867, namely, cows from the Channel Islands and the Islo of Man,) brought by sea to tho port of Londort, the following regulations are to have effect:�

(I.) All such cattle are to bo landed in such man�ner, within such times, and subject to such supervision and control, as tho Commis�sioners of Customs from time to time direct. (2.) If the place of landing is not within the Metropolis, and such cattle are not slaugh�tered at the place of landing, they are to be removed thence by railway to the Metropolis, and not otherwise or elsewhere ; and they are to bo brought along the railway in trucks or carriages exclusively set apart or used for tho purpose of conveying foreign cattle, and coloured with a special colour, or other�wise distinguished by a mark, approved of by tho Privy Council, to designate them as so appropriated, and such trucks or carriages are. after they have been used for the pur�pose ot conveying any cattle to the Metro�polis, to be cleansed and disinfected in manner provided by the said Consolidated Order. The penalty for using a truck or carriage in con�travention of these regulations is to be not exceeding 5/. for each time of use.

Foreign cattle within the Metropolis are to bo slaughtered within 4 days after landing, exclusive of the day of landing, unless they are taken to the Metropolitan Cattle Market within such 4 days, and in any case they are, until taken to be slaughtered, to be kept in lairs licensed for their reception by the Privy Council.

Dung of animals, as also hay, straw, litter, or other thing commonly used for food of, or used about animals, may be moved out of an infected place within the Metropolis (but not out of the Metropolis) with a licence signed by an officer of tho Local Authority appointed in that behalf certifying that the thing moved has been disinfected.

If any cattle or tilings are moved contrary to the provisions of the Order, the owner and the person directing or permitting the removal, and the person or Company in charge of or removing or conveying the same, shall each be deemed guilty of an offence against the Order; and if the proprietor of a slaughter�house fails to comply with any provision of the Order he shall be deemed guilty of an offence against the Order.

The Order then confirms licences granted before, and in force at, the commencement of this Order, which licences are to be available as if granted under this Order.

The expenses incurred by the Local Authority of the City of London in executing this Order are to bo defrayed out of the Consolidated Sewers Uato.

iSeptember.

Board ofnbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; The next Order passed was one by the Lords of

or^laquot;sep.^rdcr ^tho Committee of Privy Council for Trade, dated the

tombor 1807. 2d of September 18�7, revoking, from the 15tli of

September 1867, their Order made the 1st of June

1866, relating to (lie cleansing and disinfecting of

pens, carriages, trucks, and boats.

CouSoiiof 9ⁿ ^tho ^llth of September 1867 was passed a Con-u soptemlaquo; solidated Order of Council for Scotland, to bo called bcriwff,

The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order (Scotland) of September, 1867. Except tho regulations as to foreign cattle, which wore to take effect from and after the 30th of September 1867, this Order took effect from and immediately after tho 15th of Sep�tember 1867, and contains nearly tho same provisions as The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867, relating to England and Wales. The following differences may bo mentioned :�

It extends to Scotland only, except where other�wise expressly provided.

It rescinds all licences of the Privy Council for tho holding of markets, exhibitions, or sales.

It provides that cattle may be moved from England into Scotland with a Movement or Market Licence, or a Market Pass.

It suspends until the Privy Council otherwise order the provisions as to Markets, Exhibitions, and Sales, and the general regulations as to Movement of Animals.

^ It contains an article as to Penalties, as follows :__

Every person guilty of an offence against this Order shall, for each such offence, incur a penalty not exceeding 2.01; and where any such offence is com�mitted with respect to more than four animals, a penalty not exceeding 5/. for each animal may be imposed instead of tho penalty of 201. And where any such offence is committed with reference to any dung, offal, hay, litter, straw, or other thing, a further penalty not exceeding 10/. may be imposed for every half ton in weight of such dung or other thing after the first half ton.

Tho forms of the Movement and Market Licences, and tho Market Pass, are very similar to those in the English Consolidated Order, as also the declaration of the owner or his agent to accompany the Market Licence for the movement of home cattle, and the declaration to accompany the Market Licence for the movement of Irish cattle. In the first-named form of declaration, however, as prescribed by the Order, in addition to the declaration stating that the cattle have not during the 28 days been in contact with any animal suffering from Cattle Plague, are the words, quot; or on any premises within an infected place.quot;

The regulations with respect to the landing of Order of foreign cattle in England, Wales, and Scotland, con- Ss�L tamed in The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of blaquo; iw. August, 1867, and The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order (Scotland) of September, 1867, which were to come into operation from and after the 30th of Septem�ber 1867, were, by an Order dated the 26th of Sep�tember 1867, postponed until the 15th of October 1867.

October, On the llth of October 1867 the Lords of the Order.of Council, by 14 separate Orders of Council, defined ^JVf l⁰' parts of the following ports within which foreign isoV. cattle may be landed, namely, Cowes, Dover, Falmouth, Hartlepool, Harwich, Hull, London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Plymouth, North Shields, Shoreham, South�ampton, Granton, and Lcith.

The Order relating to the port of London (which was to take effect from and immediately after the 4th of November 1867,) defines three parts within which foreign cattle may be landed, namely, one at Thames Haven, one at Odams's Wharf, (on tho Plaistow Marshes near the Victoria Docks,) and one at tho Victoria Docks.

The Order prescribes the routes by which the cattle, when removed from such defined parts, are to be moved:

From Thames Haven�

By the London, Tilbury, and Southend Itailwny to Forest Gate, near Stratford, thence by the Great Eastern Railway to the Metropolis ; From Odams's Wharf�

Along a siding of the North Woolwich Railway,

which is part of the Great Eastern Railway,

to the Barking-road Station, thence by the

Great Eastern Railway to tho Metropolis j and

From the Victoria Docks�

Along sidings running direct on to the North Woolwich liailway, which is part of tho Great

Eastorn Railway, to tho Barking-road Station, thence by the Great Eastern Railway to the Metropolm.

All foreign cattle so conveyed by railway, are to bo brought along the said railways -without stopping, and are to be discharged, from the trucks in which thoy have been convoyed, at a station or place within 1,000 yards of tho Metropolitan Cattle Market at Islington, and are to be driven i in mod lately, upon being so discharged, to such market or to tho lairs belonging thereto, or to such other lairs as may bo licensed by the Privy Council for tho reception of such cattle. All cattle within the limits of tho de�fined parts before mentioned, are to be deemed to bo foreign cattle, and are to bo subject in all respects to tho provisions of this Order.

At Southampton two parts are defined,�one for the landing of foreign cattle for slaughter, and the other for the purposes of quarantine.

The usual provisions are to apply to foreign cattle landed in tho part for slaughter, but those landed in the part defined for quarantine are subject to special provisions. They are to be landed in strict conformity with such regulations as the Commis�sioners of Customs with the sanction of the Lords of tho Council prescribe for that purpose, and are to be placed in' pens, sheds, or other receptacles properly prepared for their reception by the consignees or other persons, and approved for that purpose by the Customs, and are to be kept therein at the sole expense of the owner or consignee, subject to the supervision and control of the Customs, and in ac�cordance with any regulations made by them, for such period not exceeding 28 days, as the Lords of the Council may from time to time prescribe in respect of the country or place from which any such cattle may be imported, and if any such cattle have been landed and kept as aforesaid, then the same may be moved to any place out of the limits of such last-mentioned defined part with the licences required, and in the manner prescribed by The Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867, or any other Order of the Lords of the Council, under Tho Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts ; but no licence is to be granted for tho removal of any such cattle from beyond those limits, except upon production to the person granting such licence of a certificate of an officer of Customs at the said port, certifying that they are then healthy and free from the Cattle Plague. AH cattle within such last-mentioned defined part are to be subject to all the regulations applicable to foreign cattle landed within such defined part.

The Orders defining Granton and Leith contain, in addition to the usual clauses hereafter mentioned, a special provision in each Order allowing the foreign cattle landed in the defined parts of such ports to be removed out of such defined parts to the Public Slaughter-house at Edinburgh by the following routes :�From the defined part of the port of Granton �Along tho Caledonian Railway, by the shortest route of that railway, from Granton to tho Lothian Road Station of the Caledonian Railway in Edinburgh, thence, by the shortest way, from the southern end of tho buildings of the said station, through property of the Caledonian Railway Company, across Castle Bains and along Semple-street, part of Fountain-bridge, and part of Ponton-street, to the Edinburgh Public Slaughter-house. From the defined part of the port of Leith�Along the Caledonian Railway, by the shortest route of that railway, from Leith to the Lothian Road Station of the Caledonian Railway in Edinburgh, thence (as in the route above described) to the Edinburgh Public Slaughter-house. Each of these two Orders also provides that such cattle are to be brought along the said railway, without stopping, in trucks exclusively set apart for convoying foreign cattle, and coloured with a rod stripe, 2 feet wide all round, and such trucks arc, after thev have been used for conveying any cattle to tho E.linburgh Public Slaughter-house, to be cleansed and disinfected : Cattle other than foreign cattle within the defined

parts of such ports are not to be removed therefrom alive, except to the Edinburgh Public Slaughter-house as above mentioned.

Each of these defining Orders, except that relating to London, and with tho special provision in that relating to Southampton as to one of the defined parts, provides that all foreign cuttle landod within the defined parts of such ports are to bo slaughtered within four days after landing, exclusive of the day of landing, unless they are taken to a licensed market or sale within tho defined part within such four days, and thoy are to be so taken if a market or sale is held there within tho said period of four days, but if there is no such licensed market or sale within that defined part, or if no such market or sale is held there within the said period of four days, th'sn all such foreign cattle are to bo slaughtered within the defined part within the said period of four days. Further, that cattle other than foreign cattle within the defined parts of the said ports are not (except as regards tho Edinburgh slaughter�house) to bo removed therefrom alive.

The Order dated the 23d of January 1867, licensing Ordorof the port of Southampton for tho landing of foreign nodolSraquo; cattle under tho provision of Her Majesty's Order in 1807. Council of the 10th of November 18C6, as also the Order of the same date licensing certain pens and sheds at Southampton for tho reception of such cattle ; and the Order of the same date, containing regu�lations with respect to the removal of foreign cattle from such pens and sheds, were revoked by Order dated the 11th of October 1867.

On the 15th of October 1867, 3 separate Orders, Orders of containing the usual provisions before stated, were is October issued, defining parts of tho ports of Glasgow, Mid-¹⁸laquo;⁷' dlesborough, and Portsmouth, and on the 22d of Order of October 1867 an Order defining a part of the portJao�� of Grimsby, within which foreign cattle may be isw-landed.

On the 23d of October 1867 an Order was issued Order of which, after reciting that no case of Cattle Plague 23 October had been reported to the Privy Council as having ¹⁸⁸⁷-occurred in Great Britain beyond the Metropolis, since the 24th of August 1867, in effect removed, from and after the 4th of November 1867, except within tho Metropolis, the restrictions on the movement of cattle, and abolished the use of licences and passes for their movement in England and Wales; and also removed the restriction which prevented a person from selling on his own promises cattle which had not been in his possession for 28 days immediately before the sale. Licences granted by the Privy Council for the holding of markets, exhibitions, and sales, in force at tho commencement of this Order, were to continue in force, as if the conditions, pro�visions, and regulations, applicable under this Order, had been referred to therein instead of those of Tho Consolidated Cattle Plague Order of August, 1867. Nothing in this Order is to extend to the Metropolis.

An Order issued on the 28th of October 1867 Orderof declares certain premises on Hackney Marsh, in the ^October county of Middlesex, to bo free from Cattle Plague, M⁶'-and that the same shall cease to be an infected place.

November.

Her Majesty by an Order in Council dated the 4th Order in day of November 1867 revoked the following of J^�]^ Her Orders; those dated the 10th November and 1867. 28th December 1866, making regulations for sub�jecting animals to quarantine on their arrival in Great Britain, that dated the 24th March 1866 pro�hibiting the movement of cattle on railways, and those dated tiie 9th April, 9th May, 1 lib June, 26th July, and 10th November 1866, and the 26th February and 17tli May 1867, continuing (lie provisions of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, respecting slaughter and compensation In case of Cattle Plague.

	Veterinary Department, Privy Council Office, 18th July, 1868. Sie, In accordance with the instructions of the Lord President, I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Lords of the Council, a further Report on the recent outbreak of cattle plague in Great Britain, to which is added an Appendix, embodying, as far as possible, all information of importance relating to the disease. The Statistics, (Appendix No. I.,) as regards cases of disease which occurred prior to the 31st of December, 1866, were prepared by Mr. Clode of the Registrar General's Office, at that time Superintendent of the Statistical Branch of this Department: these have since been completed under my direction. The manuscript tables which are kept in this Department, and of which those printed in the Appendix above referred to represent only summaries, comprise the most ample details, and record the progress of the plague in respect of each owner's stock reported on in Great Britain. A map is appended, showing the extent to which the plague prevailed in each county in Great Britain; also diagrams indicating the number of attacks reported each week, and the duration of the disease up to the end of 1866. The Medical Report, (Appendix No. II.,) which has been prepared by the Veterinary Inspectors attached to this Department, forms the most complete record of the medical history of rinderpest in this country that has hitherto been published, and will be most valuable for reference in case of any future outbreak. The Digest of the Laws and Regulations, (Appendix No. III.,) prepared in this Office, was, by direction of the Lord President, submitted to Mr. Reilly, the legal adviser of this Department, for revision. The Appendix No. IV. contains Returns showing Expenses incurred in connection with this outbreak of cattle plague. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, The Clerk of the Council.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Alexander Williams.

	REPORT

	APPENDIX

	CATTLE PLAGUE IN GREAT BUITAIN During the Years 1865,1866, and 1867.

	Epizootic or contagious diseases amongst cattle have existed from a very early period, and have visited this country on many previous occasions, but it is doubtful whether a visitation of the rinderpest or cattle plague indigenous to the Russian Steppes occurred previous to 1714. It is extremely difficult, from the sparse records kept of previous plagues, to be sure of the identity or non-identity of these plagues with that of the one under consideration, but there is every reason to believe that the epizootic which attacked the cattle in this country in 1714, and again from 1745 to 1757, was true rinderpest, and identical with the disease which was the cause of the late outbreak. So far as our information goes, it appears to be more than probable that this, as well as the former outbreaks of plague among cattle, was introduced into this country from the Continent. The outbreak in 1745 lasted 12 years, and the conclusion derived from the experience of it, with regard to the checking of the disease, appears to be identical with that of the present day. As a result, the outbreak which occurred 12 years later was confined to the localities in which it first appeared by the immediate slaughter of the animals. From 1757 to 1865 it does not appear certain that rinderpest visited this country, although outbreaks of disease amongst cattle have appeared on several occasions. That the disease which caused the outbreak now under consideration was the rinderpest of the Russian Steppes, and that it is a highly contagious fever due to the presence of a specific animal poison, as stated in my former Report, does not now appear to admit of a doubt. That it possesses characteristics allied to the exanthemata, or eruptive fevers, seems equally proved, and, however difficult it may be to show that it was introduced into England, it is much more probable that it was so introduced, than that it should have spontaneously arisen here. That it was so introduced from abroad is generally accepted by those who have made the disease a subject of careful study, and any theory as to its spontaneous origin must be based upon views which would upset our ideas of diseases in animals not only as to the class to which rinderpest belongs, but also as regards the analagous class of diseases in the human subject. There can be no difficulty in proving the extremely contagious nature of rinderpest; but there is the same difficulty in proving how the germs of the disease were introduced in 1865, as there has frequently been in showing how the analagous human diseases have been introduced into any particular locality. There can scarcely be any subject more interesting, and yet of which so little is known, as that of the mode of propagation of contagious or infectious diseases ; and, as the late outbreak of cattle plague has afforded opportunities for its study which rarely occur, it appears desirable to record the result. We should simplify this subject very much, and at the same time represent the opinion of many of the scientific men who have brought forward their views, if we were to discard the term quot; infectious,quot; and speak of those diseases as quot; contagiousquot; only. To suppose that the virus of any of these diseases is, as stated with regard to cattle plague in the first report of the Royal Commissioners, quot; volatile,quot; in the scientific appli�cation of that term, would involve the theory that the germinal matter is unorganized, whilst many of the known properties of the virus of cattle plague are inconsistent with such a theory. That the virus consists of organic matter in an organized state, and that its particles are of such infinitesimal proportions that we have hitherto been unable to detect their form or size under the highest powers of the microscope, can scarcely admit of a doubt; a 3



	vi and, therefore, it may be inferred that a particle of this matter, so small as to be incapable of detection, might at any time, under certain conditions, produce the disease. The opportunities, therefore, for its propagation are, practically, unlimited. Not only may the virus in a moist state be carried from one animal to another by direct and indirect contact, by a stream of water, amongst food, and in many other ways, but, as it retains its properties when dried, and we know that organic matter is nearly always present in the air we breathe, it is not difficult to imagine how easily it may be carried about in all directions by currents of air, and inhaled into the lungs. At the same time, it is quite possible to believe that its general diifusion may be prevented by its specific gravity, or by some other unascertained cause. So far as we have been able to obtain evidence, the above-mentioned theory has been sufficient, in almost every instance, to account for fresh outbreaks of cattle plague in this country, and there is no reason to believe that the disease was ever propagated by any means other than by direct or indirect contagion. We may, therefore, infer that the first outbreak here had a similar origin, and that the germinal matter was brought here from the Continent, in some parts of which the rinderpest nearly always exists. The objections which apply to the theory of the spontaneous origin of the disease in this country will also apply to its spontaneous origin in any fresh locality here, and leads to the conclusion that in every instance of a fresh outbreak the contagious matter must have found its way to the animal affected. The far-fetched theory of minute particles floating in the air is not however necessary in this case to account for the results. It was the neglect, through ignorance or disbelief, of all the ordinary pre�cautions against the dissemination of the contagious matter which caused the rapid spread of the disease in Great Britain, and the counties which most neglected these pre�cautions suffered most from the disease. This is eminently shown in the case of Cheshire, where not only were the ordinary precautions neglected, but compulsory slaughter, which had become law, was practically ignored for some time, and diseased cattle were allowed to exist, and to form centres of infection, from which the contagious matter was disseminated in every direction. The only effectual method of checking the spread of this disease is to destroy, as early as possible, all traces of the contagious matter which will produce it, and this involves not only the slaughter and destruction of the animal affected, but also of all the germs of the disease which may have been disseminated from it. The earlier the disease is dis�covered, the more easily may this be accomplished, and therefore it becomes of great importance to be able at an early period to detect its existence. The characteristics of the disease in all its stages are fully set forth in the Medical Report, (Appendix No. 11.,) and it would appear, at first sight, extremely easy to distinguish it from all other diseases, and in the majority of cases this assumption would be correct. The probabilities are that in any fresh outbreak of the disease, we should possess such information as would render its detection comparatively easy, but in isolated cases, and where the history, symptoms, and post-mortem appearances cannot all be ascertained, there may arise great difficulties. In the late outbreak many cases of disease occurred, the nature of which was not, at first, satisfactorily ascertained. In some isolated cases the highest authorities were at fault, and pronounced opinions which additional information proved to be incorrect. Fortu�nately this cannot occur when cattle supposed to be affected with cattle plague are herded with others, as then a very short time will show the true nature of the disease, and nearly, if not all, would gradually become affected, which would not be the case in any other disease having symptoms of a similar character. Some interesting cases of other diseases, in which the symptoms closely resembled cattle plague, will be found in the Medical Report. In my former report will be found the analysis of the results of various methods of treatment of this disease, and my conclusion therefrom, that no efficient method of treat�ment has been discovered which would materially lessen the mortality of this disease. Since then, subsequent inquiries have tended rather to strengthen than to weaken this conclusion. Nor do we appear to have advanced to any great extent in the discovery of any pre�ventive measures. Vaccination, inoculation, and the use of disinfectants have each nad their day, but the benefit to be derived from their use, so far as we have ascertained, does not justify the adoption of any of them as efficient. Isolation, if complete, must be successful, but the difficulties attending it are so great that its systematic adoption in this country would be impossible. We are thus reduced to the quot; stamping out quot; of the disease as the only means of arresting its progress, and on this we can fully depend if it is efficiently carried out.

quot;These conoluBiotis woro baeod on the following quot; expcrimcnts:� No. 1.�Tnocujation fuom Ox to Ox. quot; On the 23i'd of October two perfectly licaUhy quot; bullocks wore inoculated from material obtained quot; from tho eyes and nostrils of a diseased ox. On quot; tho 27tli one of them showed symptoms of illness; quot; on tho 28th tho other sickened, und on tho 29th quot; thoy both exhibited such decided symptoms of quot; pln^uo that for prudential reasons thoy were killed. quot; A post mortem examination completely established quot; tho presence of cattle plague.quot; No. 2.�Inoculation fkom Siikep to Ox, quot; November 14.�Two sound bullocks were inocu-quot; luted from the discharge from tho head of a diseased quot; sheep. On tho 23d, fours having been expressed by quot; owners of cows not far from the sheds in which quot; these boasts were placed, and tho city magistrates quot; having remonstrated, in deference to their wishes quot; the bullocks were killed, and thus in some degree quot; the experiment was frustrated ; the post-mortem quot; examination, however, disclosed such morbid ap-quot; pearances as left little doubt that in a few days quot; cattle plague would have been fully developed. quot; The iuttammatory or rather congested blush, with quot; slight patches on tho abomasum, together with tho quot; redness on tho edges of the ruga; of the rectum, quot; were sufficient to show that the animals were quot; infected with the disease.quot; No. 3.�Inoculation from Sheep to Sheep. quot; November 14.�One hogget and one sheep were quot; inoculated from a diseased sheep ; on the second quot; day tho hogget suffered much from pain and lame-quot; ness of the right thigh, caused by the introduction quot; of the poison. On the 18th the hogget died from quot; tho combined effects of the disease and gangrene of quot; the thigh. The old sheep showed no symptoms of quot; illness, but the neighbourhood of the inoculated quot; places was much swollen and inflamed, and the quot; animal having been killed on the 23d, for the reason quot; stated in experiment No. 2, above, slight traces of quot; the disease were observable in the fourth stomach.quot; No. 4.�Inoculation fuom Ox to Sheep. quot;November 15.�One old sheep and one hogget quot; were inoculated from matter taken from a diseased quot; ox; on the 23d the hogget was killed for the quot; reason above stated. During life there was great quot; emaciation, loss of appetite, copious discharge from quot; nostrils, diarrhoea, and much pain in the inoculated quot; thigh. The post-mortem examination revealed the quot; presence of abscesses in the right thigh, and com-quot; mencing disease of the fourth stomach.quot; No. 5.�Inoculation fkom Sheep to Goat. quot; November 8 th.�A goat was inoculated from a quot; diseased sheep ; on the 12th it showed decided and quot; marked local manifestations around the inoculated quot; places, with, however, but little constitutional dis-quot; turbance. On the 14th the gout sickened, remained quot; ill for a few days with symptoms of cattle plague, quot; but eventually recovered.quot; No. 6.�Association of a Goat with Kindeupkst Oxen. quot; It having been reported that a goat herded with quot; diseased oxen had been taken ill, several members quot; of the committee visited it and were convinced quot; of the existence of the external appearances of quot; cattle plague. It died on the 16th, when a post-quot; mortem examination confirmed the opinion formed lt;' during tho life of the animal.quot; No. 7.�Association of a Sheep with Oxkn. quot; November 2.�An aged ewe died after having been quot; associated with diseased oxen. It showed most of quot; the symptoms of cattle plague both before and after quot; douth.quot;	No. 8.�Tnn Same. quot; October 25.�Three sheep, from a healthy lot of quot;nbsp; 49, were placed in boxes with cattle uflectod with ^unbsp; plague. Two of them sickened on the 8th of No- quot;nbsp; vcmber, one died on the 12th, and (he other was quot;nbsp; killed on the 13th, and at tho post-morlem cx- quot;nbsp; aminution both showed undoubted appearunccH of quot;nbsp; cattle plague. Tho third sheep was indisposed, but quot;nbsp; eventually recovered. The remainder of the iloek quot;nbsp; from which these three sheep wore taken have *'nbsp; continued perfectly well.quot; No. 9.�Association and Inoculation of Sheep. quot;October 15.�Three healthy lambs were placed in quot; tho same shed with diseased bullocks. Two were quot; inoculated, and one simply exposed to the contagion. quot; One of the inoculated lambs died, exhibiting wliilo quot; living and after death decided symptoms of plague ; quot; the other showed symptoms of the disease, but quot; ultimately recovered. The laquo;winoculated one con-quot; tracted the disease and died.quot; The Edinburgh Cattle Plague Committee also in�vestigated the question of the susceptibility of sheep to take cattle plague, and in their report to tho Royal Commission it is stated that� quot; Tho committee ever since their appointment had quot; their attention directed to the question us to tho quot; liability of sheep to be infected with cattle plague. quot; Thoy wore aware of the observations made abroad quot; in Austria and Poland, and also in England, espe-quot; dally in Norfolk, which seemed to prove that sheep quot; are liable to the disease, though by no means so quot; liable as cattle, nor to the disease in so severe a quot; form.quot; The experiments performed by the Edinburgh Cattle Plague Committee in October 1865 seemed at first, quot; to militate against tho liability of sheep quot; to take cattle plague, and also against their quot; liability, though free from the disease themselves, quot; to carry the infection to cattle in their wool, quot; or otherwise, after having been kept in close quot; contact with diseased cattle. Ten sheep of different quot; breeds and ages�viz., two aged Cheviot sheep, two quot; three-year old do,, two Danish sheep, two Swedish quot; sheep, and two lambs�were placed, at the sugges-quot; tion of the Messrs. Swan, cattle dealers, in the Edin-quot; burgh sanatorium, a large house made of wood, quot; where cattle labouring under the plague were quot; being treated. They wore kept for 14 hours out. of quot; the 24 confined in the sanatorium in contact with the quot; worst possible cases of cattle plague. During the quot; remaining 10 hours they were allowed to graze in quot; an adjoining paddock, not far from the pits in which quot; the carcases of very numerous cattle, dead of the quot; plague, were being buried. They were kept in the quot; sanatorium for 24 days, at tho end of which time quot; Professor Dick, V. S., gave a certificate to the effect quot; that they were clear of any disease whatever. quot; Eight of these sheep were next, as had been sug-quot; gested by Dr. Andrew Wood, chairmim of this quot; committee, removed from the sanatorium and itnme-quot; diately placed in a small field along with four cattle, quot; viz., one short-horn cow, one calf, and two foreign quot; cows. The cattle and sheep were thus kept together quot; for over 30 days, at the end of which period they quot; wore again inspected by Professor Dick, V. S., who quot; certified them to be all in good health.quot; If negative evidence might be taken in proof of a proposition, tho non-susceptibility of sheep to cattle plague and their incapacity to carry the infection were established by these experiments. Further investiga�tion, however, led the committee to disregard these negative results, in the presence of positive evidence which had been obtained. In November 1865 cattle plague broke out among the sheep on tho Dean Farm near Edinburgh, and In March 1866 it occurred among sheep in Eileshire, Hence, notwithstanding their early experience, tho		i

Cheuliiro. Nearly all the animals in the quot; shlppon quot; wore more or loss afFocted with plague, and sovoral of tliem wore dying of the disoaso, but the only symptoms present were diarrhoea with extreme pallor of the mucous membranes and great prostration. Indeed all the ordinary signs of oattle plaguo were masked by the niKcmatous state to which the animalraquo; had been brought by exee.ssivo depletion. Other iustanees of reinarkahle modilieatiou of symptoms in consequence of the adoption of eertain forms of troatmont were also observed in different parts of the kingdom. The extensive employment of carbolic acid was found to retard the progress of the disease, and in cases where large doses of mineral acids insiiflieiently diluted had been given, the mouth was often found to be perfectly while in colour, while extensive ideeration		reaching from the lips nearly Up to the eyes was present. Sometimes these phenomena were observable in one or two animals which had been submiUted to experimentnl treatment, while In others of the herd the ordinary signs of cattle plague would be. exhibited. 11'only one or two animals are all'eeted, and obscure symptoms should exist in them, (be dillieulty of fonning a correct diagnosis is sometimes considerable ; nevertheless, a careful inquiry into all the circum�stances of the case will generally enable the examiner to rightly determine the matter. In the concluding port of this report an account is given of some of the most important investigations which were undertaken by direction of the Lords of the Council, for the purpose of dolermining the character of virulent diseases reported as outbreaks of cattie plague.

Post-mortem appearances as ohserved in Cattle affected with Plague.

The post-mortem appearances in animals which have died from cattle plague will vary considerably, de�pending upon the particular part of the organism which has sult'ercd to the greatest extent from the ravages of the disease. The general diffusion of the virus over (he system necessarily leads to tbo morbid changes being widely distributed, and usually they include the integument, the mucous membranes of the digestive and respi�ratory organs as well us portions of the vascular and nervous systems. In the digestive and respiratory organs, however, the changes are most marked, and it has been very generally observed that when the structural derangements of the organs of one system have been of a very extensive character, the lesions in those of tbo other have been comparatively unim�portant; hence the great ditferences which appear in the reports of the post-mortem appearances by various observers. Morbid changes in the stomachs and intestines. When making a dissection of an animal which has died of cattle plague, the abdominal organs arc generally the first examined, and in them the most marked evidences of disease are usually discovered; the lesions especially of the fourth stomach, the duodenum and jejunum, the coocum, and the rectum require to be minutely investigated. Rumen.�Morbid changes in the structure of this stomach are not commonly present, and generally the organ will be observed to be full to repletion of imperfectly macerated food. The contents are often dry, particularly when the disease has continued for an unusually long time before producing a fatal result. In some instances where gruel has been administered during the treatment of the disease, the rumen lias been found₄ to contain hard masses of dry oatmeal, equal in quantity as nearly as could be calculated to the whole amount which had been given in the form of gruel, from which only the watery portion had been removed. Although as a rule no disease is detectable in the lining membrane of the rumen in the greater number of instances, nevertheless patches of deep congestion will often be seen, if the dark coloured portion of the epithelium be scraped away. Actual death of small portions of the mucous mem�brane and sub-nmcons tissue has been noticed ill some few cases. The lesion is peculiar in appearance, and easily recognized. On the surface of the muscular bands in particular there may be seen a few well-defined spots with dark centres, but having elevated edges of a rose or plum colour. Sometimes these dark centres or dead tissue will bo in the act of sloughing away. The precise cause of these occasional changes of structure has not been ascertained, probably tbey are due to the same causes which induce congestion and inflammation of the so-called villous membranes ; but some recent investigations would seem to justify the		opinion that now and then they may arise from the local action of some irritants introduced into the rumen either with the food or the medicine. Similar changes were observed during an inquiry in Norfolk respecting sonic supposed cases of cattle plague, but in which death was found to depend on the animals having eaten a quantity of the quot; bitter sweet quot; (sola-mini dulcamara). In the course also of the last autumn, during the post-mortem examination of cattle that died after eating freely of acorns, which were unusually abundant, portions of the lining membrane, and even of the muscular structure of the rumen, were found to be disintegrated, and presented the same appearances which had previously been observed in the same structures of cattle aflbcted with plague. Sometimes congestion exists in that portion of the lining membrane of the rumen which is covered with light-coloured epithelium, in which case the hue varying from a light pink to deep crimson or claret, is at once perceptible. More commonly, however, the increase of colour is limited to the portion of mucous membrane which is protected by dark coloured epithelium, and on this part the diseased condition is seldom or never detected until the epithelium has been scraped off. The congestion of the lining membrane, whether it be diffused or circumscribed, is in no way a speciality of cattle plague, while on the other hand, as a reference to the report on a peculiar disease among cattle in the Isle of Man will show, it always exists ill a non-contagious affection of the ox met with in that island as well as elsewhere. lieticulum.�It is exceedingly unusual to find any trace of disease in the second stomach, ami in no instance lias there been observed any more important morbid change than simple congestion. It may be remarked in reference to this viscus that it is less atfected in cattle plague, than in many other diseases of the digestive organs. Omasum.�Indications of disease are mostly present in the third stomach, but none of the lesions are specifically characteristic of the existence of cattle plague. On the contrary similar appearances are commonly seen in pleuro-pneuinonia, gastro-enteritiraquo;, acorn poisoning, and other allied diseases. Generally the omasum is distended, and sometimes it is rendered exceedingly hard from an accumulation of ingesta, which will be found compressed into dry cakes between the membranous folds. In numerous cases, however, no such abnormal conditions are met with. When an attempt is made to separate the leaves of the viscus, in those instances in which prelematural hardness is present, the epithelium will bo found to come away very easily, and to remain attached as a whitish film to the hardened masses of ingesta. There will also commonly be circumscribed masses of ingesta, so closely adherent to the membrane that nothing short of persistent scraping with the scalpel will affect a separation. This condition is most frequent where there is little or no increase of the		;

I	' Mode of performing the Operation,quot;* quot; The vaccination of the cow with the lymph naturally and casually developed on the species is, in general, a successful oporntion, but unfor�tunately such lymph is rarely procurable. quot; The retro-vaccination of the cow with humanized lymph is a tlitt'orent affair, and to ensure but a moderate amount of success, when indiscriminately performed, needs more attention to many particulars than is generally supposed. quot; In the first place it is necessary to shelter the animal from cold and wet. quot; In the next place it is desirable to employ recent liquid lymph, conveyed in capillary tubes, or con�veyed in well developed vesicles on a child's arm. quot; It is important also to select certain regions for the operation. quot; Those regions are the most eligible which possess the thinnest skin, are void of hair, not likely to be subjected to friction, and yet afford facility of access in operating and inspecting. quot; In the milch cow the back part of the udder, the thin lax skin on each side of the vulva, or in close proximity to its cutaneous margins, are parts most eligible. In the dry cow and in the female calf the teats and udder will be available, although the parts above mentioned are more convenient of access. In the male the perinasum and the scrotum afford the best sites. But in individuals difficult to manage the inside of the ear, or some part of the neck, or behind the shoulder denuded of hair, and possess�ing some of the above-named requisites, may be chosen. quot; The modes of operating, like those on man, vary, each having its advocates and advantages: quot; First. By incision. quot; Secondly. By puncture. quot; Thirdly. By scratching or abrading the cutaneous surface. quot; 1. Incision has advantages as regards celerity of execution and facility of introducing the infecting, as well as abstracting the resulting lymph. It may be effected by a small scalpel, or short bistoury, or, still better, by the Danish vaccinator.* quot; The incision should be made from half to three quarters of an inch in length into the skin just deep enough to make the edges of the wound slightly to gape. Wait till the oozing of blood has ceased, then apply the lymph into and open the edges of the incision. The Danish vaccinator re�sembles a small ' Valentine's knife,' or the steel pen usually found in a pocket case of mathematical in�struments�only this has a cutting edge. The instrument being well charged by applying its point to the liquid lymph discharged from the capillary tube, or oozing from the punctured vesicle on the child's arm, is made to penetrate the skin to the requisite depth, not drawing much blood. The lymph by this means is deposited at the time of making the incision. With a little practice, half a dozen incisions are quickly made and charged. quot; 2. Puncture. quot; This is best suited to the practice of inserting the end of a doubly charged vaccine point, which may bo broken off from the shaft, and allowed to remain in the puncture for a quarter of an hour. quot; Scratching. quot; This is tedious, but in thin skins is often advan-¹ tagcous for the application of lymph preserved on ^; large or small ivory points. The lymph,previously ^; moistened, is rubbed off the point into the scratched ¹ surface. From four to six clusters of scratches ¹ should be made, thus�		quot; Results of the Operation. quot; About the fourth or fifth day after the operation quot; a slight redness and elevation with some hardness quot; and heat may be discerned. Those phenomena quot; gradually but not uniformly increase till the sixth quot; or seventh day, when a small central crust fills the quot; incision and plugs the punctures. quot; On the scratched surface the exuded and dry quot; lymph occupies the furrows, or more or less over-quot; spreads the abraded surface. quot; The vesicles now become more and more elevated quot; and extended till the tenth or eleventh day, when quot; they flatten and rapidly decline, more or less covered quot; with a thick blackish-brown crust. quot; Unless the skin be thin and very fair, no areola quot; is visible, but the margin of the vesicle is felt hard quot; and tense. When the areola is visible on a fair quot; skin it is often not more than three or four lines in quot; width. quot; Although the vesicle assumes the form usual in quot; man, as determined by the mode of operating, its quot; margin is, from the thickness of the skin of the quot; animal, solid, and if punctured will yield only blood. quot; Lymph can be procured rarely before the ninth or quot; tenth day, and then only by removing carefully the quot; central crust, and waiting patiently for its exuda-quot; tion through the original puncture. quot; Vesicles raised by very slight punctures or super-quot; ficial abrasions of the cutis resemble more closely quot; those on man, and yield lymph earlier, but they are quot; liable to earlier rupture or abrasion, and yield but a quot; scanty supply of turbid lymph. quot; It not unfrequently happens that the stage of quot; progressive papulation is indistinctly marked or quot; apparently arrested, so as to lead to the apprehen-quot; sion of failure, when suddenly the characteristic quot; form of the vesicle appears, and it advances to quot; maturity. quot; It is not rare, however, to find among several quot; papulse some of them arrested in their progress, and quot; prove abortive. When this event befalls the major quot; part or the whole of the punctures or incisions, a '� repetition of the operations in the same site may quot; nevertheless succeed. quot; During the progress of the disease scarcely any quot; constitutional symptoms are observed ; sometimes quot; an acceleration of the pulse may be detected. quot; The retro-vaccine lymph obtained from these quot; operations, little as it is, should be used as far as quot; possible for other vaccinations.quot; The great demand for vaccine lymph soon led to the manufacture of a spurious article by a class of per�sons ever ready to trade on public credulity. Points charged with a compound of collodion and croton oil, or some similar irritant, were sold by the gross, and more than one person in London is said to have profited largely by the transaction. The Northwich hundred of Cheshire likewise witnessed the nefarious practice of persons travelling from farm to farm, carrying an irritating mixture in quart bottles, with which to quot;vaccinatequot; cattle. In several instances the cattle plague showed itself in about eight days afterwards in the herd ; its outbreak depending, as is believed, on these persons visiting diseased and healthy stock indiscriminately. It is said that they operated upon a thousand animals at least, making large in�cisions on the lower parts of the neck or shoulders, and wetting the wound with the fluid. The charge made by them was two shillings and sixpence per head, so the sum realized was considerable. The extent of these and other impositions, in connection with vaccination, which were practised upon the farmers, especially those of Cheshire, may be judged from the fact that out of a total number of 92,664 cattle vaccinated in the entire kingdom, the re�turns received by the Veterinary Department showed that 28,213 had been vaccinated in that county ; 22,564 prior to being attacked with the plague, and 6,649 after a declaration of the symptoms. These figures in themaelves afford evidence of the extent of Vi
m
quot; These, if executed by a large modification of Weir's quot; vaccinator, are done with much more celerity than quot; with a single pointed instrument. * An instrument in general use in Denmark, procurable at a imall expense in London,

Digest of Acts of Parliament and of Orders issued by the Queen in Council or by the Lords of the Privy Council relating to the Cattle Plague.

1848-1864. At tho time of tho outbreak of tho Cattle Plaguo in England in the year 1865, tho power of tho Com-missionors of Hor Miijesty's Customs to deal with foreign animals imported alive into Great Britain was given and regulated by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 28th day of July 1836. This Order was issued under the authority of tho Aet 11 amp; 12 Viet. e. 105., dated 4th .September 1848, and intituled quot; An Aet to prohibit the impoi'tation of quot; sheep, cattle, or other animals, for tho purpose of quot; preventing tho introduction of contagious or in-quot; fectious disorders,quot; #9632;wherein power is given to Her Majesty, from time to time, by Order in Council, to pro�hibit the importation into the United Kingdom, or into any port, of cattle, sheep, horses, or other animals, in order to prevent contagion in this country, as also to make, by Order in Council, regulations for subjecting such animals to Quarantine, or for causing the same to be destroyed, or for destroying hay, straw, fodder, or other article whereby contagion may be conveyed, and generally to make such regulations, with respect to tho importation of such animals, as may bo necessary to prevent the introduction of any contagious or infectious disorder. The Order in Council of the 28th of July 1856 so issued under the authority of such Act of Parliament, orders that if any sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs, when imported, shall appear to be infected with any con�tagious or infectious disorder whereby contagion or infection may be conveyed, they may be seized and detained by the officers of Her Majesty's Customs at the port of import, together with all or any of the sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs brought in the same vessel, and all hay, straw, fodder, or other article by which it shall appear that infection or contagion may be conveyed, the circumstances of such seizure and detention to be forthwith reported by such officers to the Commissioners of Customs ; and if it be certified to the Commissioners by any veterinary surgeon appointed by them to inspect such animals that any of them are labouring under any such disorder, then the Commissioners may cause such animals as are so certified to be forthwith destroyed, and the Commis�sioners are thereupon to give directions cither for destroying or for further detaining all or any of the sheep, lambs, cattle, or pigs which may have been so imported in the same vessel with those so certified, together with all such hay, straw, fodder, or other article, or for restoring the same to the owner, and upon payment by tlie owner of tho expenses incurred by the Commissioners in respect of the detention. A second Order in Council, issued by Her Majesty under the authority of the same Act of Parliament, and dated the 17th of November 1863, provides for the disposal of the carcases of sheep, cattle, horses, or animals which may have died during tho voyage and remain on board tho vessel at the time of her arrival in any port of tho United Kingdom. This latter Order provides that it shall be the duty of the master of the vessel to report the fact of such carcases being on board to the Collector or Principal Officer of Customs at the port, immediately upon the arrival of the vessel, and no such carcase shall be dis�charged or landed without the permission in writing of such Collector or Principal Officer of Customs ; and it shall be the duty of the master of the vessel, if required, again to proceed to sea and throw overboard all the Carcases within such time and at such place, or at such distance from the nearest shore, and at such a state of the tide as directed. Tho Order also prohibits the importation of any sheep, cattle, horses, or other animals on board any vessel the master of which shall not comply with these regulations, and all such animals which shall bo 17.966.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; Y	brought into any port of tho United Kingdom on board any such vessel shall bo forfeited to Her Majesty. The Orders of the Privy Council which were passed after the outbreak of Cuttle Plaguo in July 1865, were, until the date of tho passing of The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Aet, 1867, (dated tho 2()lh Au�gust 1867,) issued under the authority of tho Act 11 amp; 12 Viet. c. 107., intituled quot;An Act lo prevent, quot; until the first day of September 1850, and to the quot; end of the then session of Parliament, tho spreading quot; of contagious or infectious disorders among sheep, quot; cattle, and other animals.quot; This Act, after reciting that sheep-pox or Variola Ovina then prevailed in the United Kingdom, and making it a penal offence to expose for sale animals suffering therefrom, as also to depasture infected sheep, or to expose for sale meat unfit for human food, gives power to the Privy Council to make Orders and Regulations for quot; prohibiting or regulating tho re-quot; moval, to or from such parts or places as they quot; may designate in such Order or Orders, of sheep, quot; cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of moat, quot; skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any quot; animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles quot; likely to propagate infection; and also for tho quot; purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or quot; other place, or any waggons, camp;rts, carriages, or quot; other vehicles; and also for the purpose of directing quot; how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any quot; animals, parts of animals, or other things seized quot; under the provisions of this Act, are to bo disposed quot; of; and also for the purpose of causing notices to quot; be given of the appearance of any disorder among quot; sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any quot; other Orders or Regulations for tho purpose of quot; giving effect to the provisions of this Act, and quot; again to revoke, alter, or vary any such Orders or quot; Regulations; and all provisions for any of the pur-quot; poses aforesaid in any such Order or Orders con-quot; tained shall have the like force and effect as if tho quot; same had been inserted in this Act ; and all persona quot; offending against the same shall for each and every quot; offence forfeit and pay any sum not. exceeding quot; twenty pounds, or such smaller sum as the said quot; Lords or others of Her Majesty's Privy Council quot; may in any case by such Order direct.quot; This Act then provideraquo; that all Orders issued under its authority are, within 14 days of being issued, to bo published twice in the London Gazette, and if they apply to any particular place, then they are also to bo twice published in some newspaper circulating in the County in which tho place is situated. Copies of the Orders are also to be laid before both Houses of Parliament. The Act contains provisions respecting the recovery and application of penalties, and for protection of persons acting in execution of tho Act. or of any Order under it, and a saving for the rights of tho Corporation of the. City of London. The Act provides for appeal to the Quarter Sessions on security being given. Tho appeal is to be made, within 4 months, and 10 days notice, staling the nature and grounds thereof, is to be given to the party against whom the appeal shall bo brought, the Quarter Sessions being empowered either to hear the appeal in a summary way, or to adjourn it to the following Sessions. The Act was to continue in force until the 1st, Sep�tember 1850, and if Parliament was then sitting, then further until the end of the, then session. An Act, dated the 14tli of August 1850, was passed isiuvict. to cotitinuo tho provisions of the Act 11 amp; 12 Viet. ^l;'''' c. 107 until the 1st of September 1861, and if Parliament was then sitting, then further until the end of tho then session.	#9632;�#9632;

Pro- PCraquo; *vim	Order of Oounotl of 23 Fcbriiar,v 1800.	4. The Couvt may atyourn the Appoal, and may makt) an Order thoreon as they think just: But nothing in this Section of the Act respecting Apponls is to art'ect nny enactments relative to Ap�peals in cases of summary convictions or adjudien-tions in the City of London or the Metropolitan Police District. The Act then confirms the Orders of the Privy Council made in pursuance of 11 amp; 12 Viet. e. 107, and of the Orders made and notices published by Local Authorities, under such Orders : And it authorizes the payment of all expenses incurred, previous to the passing of this Act, by any Local Authority in publishing any notices or advertisements under nny of such Orders. Such expenses are to bo deemed to have been duly charged on nny rate out of which such expenses have been defrnyed ; or such expenses may be paid in like manner as expenses incurred pursuant to this Act. The Act was to continue in force until the 1st of June 1867, and tho end of the then session of Parlia�ment, and no longer, except in so far as respects tho power of levying rates for repaying any sums borrowed under its provisions. Tho Act contains a proviso that it shall be law�ful for Her Majesty in Council at any time to suspend its operation as respects tho slaughter of cattle. An Order, dated the 23d of February 1866, con�tinues so much of tho Consolidated Order of 23d No�vember 1865 and of the Orders of 16th December 1865, tho 20th January 1866 amending the Consoli�dated Order of 23d November 1865, and the Order of the 6th February 1866, as is not inconsistent with the provisions of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, as also any notices and orders of Local Authorities under such Orders. The said Act having altered the Local Authorities, this Order provides that the powers given by the said Orders and this present Order to the Local Authority, shall be exercised by the Local Authority ns con�stituted under such Act only, save that, in any place where no Local Authority shall be duly constituted under the Act until after this Order comes into operation, then, until the constitution of a Local Authority under the Act, the Local Authority for the purposes of exercising the powers of the said Orders shall continue to be such as is defined in the Orders dated the 16th of December 1865, and the 6th of February 1866. This Order revokes so much of such last two mentioned Orders as is inconsistent with its pro�visions. March. An Order of tho 3d of March 1866 gives to the members of Her Majesty's Royal Commission, dated the 29th of September 1865, the power of reserving animals ordered to he slaughtered under Tho Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, for experimental treatment. The object of the Order dated the 14th of March 1866 is so far to revoke the Order of the 3rd of November 1865 as to permit the return pf sheep belonging to persons who occupy lands within the North Western District of Scotland, which were wintering without that district. It defines the North Western District as in tho Order of the 3rd of No�vember 1865. quot;Local Authorityquot; it defines ns in The Cuttle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and the word quot;Inspectorquot; it defines as nny inspector ap�pointed under any Privy Council Order, or under The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, and it provides that nny person who occupies lands within the North Western District of Scotland may remove to such lands any sheep of which he is the owner, and which are presently wintering on farms without suoh dis-17966.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;Z	trlct, on obtaining a liceuco Bigned by order of the Local Authority, and subject to the conditions con-tainod in such licunco. Every licence is to state tho place where tho sheep havn been wintering and the intended route, and the Order provides that no such liconco is to be signed until a cortilicate, signed by an inspector, has boon produced, certifying that the sheep are free from disease, and that tho county in which they have boon wintering is free from Cattle Plague j such licence is not to bo given, however, if the route passes through a county, which, tho Local Authority has reason to beliovo, is infected with Cattle Plague. The maxiinum penalty for every offence against tho Order is 20/. On the 17th of March 1866 an Order was issued Ordor of regulating the cleansing and disinfection of pens, j^�Uif' carriages, trucks, and boats used for holding or istw. carrying animals (defined to bo bulls, bullocks, cows, oxen, heifers, calves, sheep, goats, and swine). The maximum penalty for every offence against the Order is 51. An Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated tho Order In 24th of March 1866, prohibits the importation into the MMairah' United Kingdom of cattle (defined to include bulls, islaquo;laquo;-cows, oxen, heifers, calves, and sheep) from tho Netherlands, or which have been on board the same vessel with any such cattle, and gives power to the Commissioners of Customs to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such cattle landed anywhere in tho United Kingdom. A further Order of Her Majesty in Council of the Order in same date continues in operation, until the 16th ofg'jf^Jh' April 1866, the second paragraph of the seventeenth is�b. section of The Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, 1866, which paragraph prohibits the movement of cattlo (bull, cow, ox, heifer, or calf) on any railway before the 25th of March 1866. On the 24th of March 1866 was issued an Order Ordorof which applies only to England and Wales, the object jjMaroh' of which was to consolidate as far as practicable all ism. former Orders and to amend and add to them, and is divided into three parts, together with two schedules. Part I. with tho first schedule, and tho regulations in Part II. which relate to the isolation of infected places, and the rules with respect to infected places, were to come into force immediately. The residue of the Order was not to come into operation until the 16tli of April 1866. The definitions of various terms differ from former Pakt I. Orders; among others, for instance, the word ^1)cnmtlon9-quot; Cattlequot; is made to mean bull, bullock, cow, ox, heifer, or calf; quot; Animalquot; to mean cattle as above defined, sheep, lambs, goats, and swine. quot; Borough,quot; any place for the time being subject to 5 amp; 6 Will. 4. c. 76. intituled quot; An Act to provide quot; for the rognlation of Municipal Corporations in quot; England and Wales ;'' quot; County quot; is not to include a county of a city or county of a town, but is to include any riding, division, or parts of a county having a separate Commission of the Peace.

The Act empowers a person having cuttle in his possossion, within the district of any Local Authority wherein Cattle Plague exists, to forbid any person not having a right of way, from trespassing on his premises, by affixing a notice, forbidding persons to enter. The maximum ponulty for disregard of the uotico being 5/. An Order dated the 27tii of April 1866 permits the removal, under certain regulations, to the Metro�politan Cattle Market at Islington, for immediate slaughter, of foreign cattle, (which, by the Consolida�ted Order of the 24th March 1866, are prohibited from being removed alive from the town or place where landed, except by sea,) brought by soa from any place out of the United Kingdom to any place on the rivers Thames or Medway westward of the Nore Light, from which place there may be a railway on which cattle can bo taken by trains without change of carriages to within 500 yards of the said Market. The following are the regulations :� They are to be landed under the control of the Cus�toms, and convoyed without stopping, except for watering, from the place of landing to the Market; They are to be carried in special trucks, distinctly marked or coloured, and which are to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected ; and After the truck has been used, cleansed, and dis�infected, it is to be immediately returned to the place from which it brought the Cattle. The maximum penalty for an offence against the Order is 5/. By an Order dated the 27th of April 1866, special provision is made to enable the Local Authority of the county of Westmoreland to make regulations for the admission of cattle and other animals into that county.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN QKEAT BUITAIN.		385

Where an inspector makes such a declaration of the existence of Cattle Plague, ho is with all prac�ticable speed to send a copy to the Privy Council, and deliver the declaration to the Local Authority, who is to inquire into the correctness thereof, and if it appears to them that Cattle Plague existed as de�clared by the inspector, they are to so determine and declare, and are to prescribe the limits of the in�fected place ; but if it appears to them that Cattle Plague did not exist as declared by the inspector, and the same is certified to them in writing by one or more duly qualified veterinary surgeons they are to so determine and declare, and thereupon the place comprised in the inspector's declaration or affected thereby is to cease to be an infected place. Any Local Authority as to any place within their district, and the Privy Council as to any place in Great Britain, may by Order declare any premises in which Cattle Plague exists at the date of the Order, or has existed within 7 days before that date, with or without a further area, to be from and after a time specified in the Order an infected place. The area of an infected place may in all cases of a declaration by the Privy Council include, with the premises in which Cattle Plague has been found to exist, such an area as to the Privy Council seems requisite ; and the area of an infected place may in all cases of a declaration by a Local Authority include, with the premises in which Cattle Plague has been found to exist, all lands and buildings lying contiguous thereto being in the same occupation, and within the district of the Local Authority, and also (except in the Metropolis) an area comprised within one mile from the boundaries of those lands in every direction, but no more. A Local Authority may include in the area of an infected place any adjoining part of the district of another Local Authority, with the previous consent of that Local Authority in writing signed by their clerk, but not otherwise. The area of an infected place may in any case be described by reference to a map deposited at some specified place, or by reference to townships, parishes, farms, or otherwise. An Order of a Local Authority declaring a place infected is to be published by the Local Authority by notices posted in and near the infected place, and iu such otner manner (if any) as they think expedient; and an Order of the Privy Council to the like effect is to bo published in like manner by and at the expense of any Local Authority to whom it is sent by the Privy Council for publication; but any want of or defect or irregularity in publica�tion is not to invalidate any Order. With respect to the Metropolis the Privy Council may by Order extend the limits of an infected place beyond the boundaries of the premises where Cattle Plague is declared or found to exist. An Order of the Privy Council relative to an infected place is to supersede any Order of a Local Authority inconsistent with it. The following rules are to have effect with respect to infected places :� 1.nbsp; No animal is to be moved alive out of an infected place: 2.nbsp; The hide, skin, hair, wool, horns, hoofs, or offal of any animal, or any part thereof, shall not be moved out of an infected place without a licence signed by an oflftcer of the Local Authority appointed to issue licences in that behalf, certifying either that the thing moved has not formed part of an animal affected with Cattle Plague, or of an animal that has been in the same shed or stable, or in the same herd or flock, or in contact with an animal so affected, or that has been disinfected: 3.nbsp; The carcase of an animal, or a single portion of raw meat weighing more than 20 pounds, is not to be moved out of an infected place without a licence signed by an officer of 179G(5.nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;³	the Local Authority appointed in that behalf, certifying that the carcase or meat moved is not the carcase or part of the carcase of an animal affected with Cattle Plague : 4. Any dung of animals, and any hay, straw, litter, or other thing commonly used for food of animals or otherwise for or about animals, is not to be moved out of an infected place without a licence, signed by an officor of the Local Authority appointed in that behalf, certifying that the thing moved has not been in contact with or been used for or about any animal affected with Cattle Plague, or that it has been disinfected: But with respect to the Metropolis the Privy Council may from time to time by Order vary these provisions. The rules of this Act with respect to infected places are not to restrict the moving of any animal or thing by railway through an infected place, such animal or thing not being stopped within the infected place. The Privy Council may from time to time by Order make rules with respect to infected places not inconsistent with the rules of this Act, and rules so made are to be deemed rules of this Act with respect to infected places. The Act then enacts that it shall be the duty of every Local Authority and of the police to enforce and execute the provisions of this Act, and of any Order of the Local Authority or Privy Council there�under relative to infected places, and to do all such things as are necessary or expedient to secure, as far as may be, the effectual isolation of infected places in r-espect of the movement of animals and things. Any constable may proceed as follows :� 1.nbsp; He may apprehend any person found committing an offence against the rules of this Act with respect to infected places, and he is to take any person so apprehended as soon as con. veniently may be before a Justice of the Peace to be examined and dealt with accord�ing to Law ; and a person so apprehended is not to be detained in custody by any con�stable, without the order of a Justice, longer than is necessary for bringing him before a Justice, or more than 24 hours at longest: 2.nbsp; He may require that any animal or thing moved out of un infected place in contravention of those rules be forthwith taken back within the limits of that place, and may enforce and execute such requisition. The Local Authority by whom an infected place is declared may at any time after tlie expiration of 28 days from the disappearance of Cattle Plague in that place by Order declare the place to be free from Cattle Plague, and tlie Privy Council may at any time by Order declare any place to be free from Cattle Plague. The clerk of a Local Authority declaring a place to be an infected place, or declaring a place to be free from Cattle Plague, is forthwith to report by post to the Privy Council the fact of such declaration having been made. Where, under this Act, an inspector makes a decla�ration which constitutes a place an infected place, he may also, if the circumstances of the case appear to him so to require, deliver a notice under his hand of such declaration to the occupierH of all lands and buildings adjoining thereto, any part whereof respec�tively lies within one mile of the boundaries of the infected place in any direction, and thereupon the rules of this Act with respect to infected places are, until the determination and declaration of the Local Authority relative thereto In this Act provided for, to apply and have effect to and in respect of those lands and buildings as if the sinne were actually within the limits of the infected place. The following is the form of Notice of Declaration to adjoining Occupiers :� C
