PREFACE.

THE enclosed article, which has been collected from
various sources, but chiefly from M. Galtier's "Maladies
Contagieuses," is forwarded for information. M. Galtier's
article is from his last edition. The following works have
also been consulted: Walley's "Four Bovine Scourges,"
Fleming's "Sanitary Science," "Report of the Indian Cattle
Plague Commission," Gunn's "Cattle Diseases in the Central
Provinces," Thacker's "Reports to the Board of Revenue,
Madras," and my own "Reports to the Government of the
Punjab." The article is circulated interleaved with a
request that any additions or corrections may be made on
the blank sheets. Information on any disputed or doubtful
point will be acceptable.
