Abstract
REFERRING to a paragraph in your issue of June 23 (p. 179), relative to the discovery by Dr. Issatschenko of a new microbe pathogenic to rats, I would call attention to some articles by Prof. F. Loeffler on epidemics among mice, &c, in the Centralblatt für Bacteriologie und Parasitenkunde, Band xi. pp. 129–141 (February 10, 1892), and Band xii. pp. 1–17 (July 5, 1892), which will be found translated in a Blue Book entitled, “Report of the Departmental Committee appointed by the Board of Agriculture to inquire into a Plague of Field-Voles in Scotland, with Minutes of Evidence and Appendices and a copy of the Minute appointing the Committee” (1893). Translations of the above papers form Appendix vi. of this Report; and Prof. Loeffler's second paper relates his successful efforts to employ the “Bacillus typhi murium” to destroy field-voles in Thessaly.
