    45 deaths ( = ‘072 per cent.); the highest rate was 5 out of 680, or 735 per cent, in Haute-Autriche, and the lowest o out of 5758 in Hungary. The disease naturally contracted killed 282, or -45 per cent, of the vaccinated ; the highest rate was 91 out of 8865, or ro2 per cent., in Styria; the lowest 6 out of 6732, or -09 per cent., in Salzbourg. Of the non-vaccinated 1350, or r64 per cent., died of black-quarter; the highest rate was 172 out of 6254, or 276 per cent, in Haute-Autriche ; and the lowest 169 out of 17,854, or -95 per cent, in Styria. In Table VII. are given the results of the single inoculation method performed at the shoulder in 53,656 cases. The number of failures was 258, or -48 per cent. Inoculation killed 67, or '125 per cent.; the highest rate was 12 out of 1429, or ‘840 per cent., in Basse-Autriche, and the lowest o out of 962, in Fribourg. In spite of the vaccination 191, or -350 per cent, of the animals, died of the disease. The highest rate was 91 out of 8865, or ro3 per cent, in Styria ; the lowest was o out of 12,300 in Algeria. In Table IX. we find the results of 34756 inoculations performed at the shoulder with the dry vaccine of Kitt (z.e. a single inoculation with a virus midway in strength between the first and second vaccines of Arloing, Cornevin, and Thomas). The death-rate is compared with that in 65,518 non-vaccinated animals on the same pastures. The total loss from black-quarter in the vaccinated amounted to 203, or '58 per cent.; the highest rate being 5 out of 392, or i‘27 per cent., in Haute-Autriche; the lowest 9 out of 6732, or '13 per cent, in Salz- bourg. The operation was responsible for 42 deaths, or •121 per cent. The highest rate was i'275 per cent, in Haute-Autriche; the lowest’044 per cent in Salzburg. Naturally contracted black-quarter accounted for 161 deaths, or '46 per cent. The highest rate was i‘02 per cent in Styria ; the lowest o out of 392 in Haute-Autriche. Of the non-vaccinated 992, or r5i per cent, died of the disease. The highest rate was rpi per cent, in Haute-Autriche ; the lowest ‘95 per cent in Styria. In Table X. we find the results of 5644 inoculations performed with the pure culture vaccine of Kitt (the virus is injected once at the shoulder). The death-rate is compared with that in 13,183 non-vaccinated animals on the same pastures. In the vaccinated the total loss was 89, or i'58 per cent. The inoculation killed 8, or r4i per cent.; the disease naturally contracted killed 81, or 143 per cent. In the non-vaccinated, 191, or i’45 per cent., died of black-quarter. Lastly, Strebel gives a Table (XI.) in which are compared the results obtained from the different methods. [Table.
