Abstract
A PREVIOUS note (Nature, Jan. 13, 1945, p. 60) described the great responsibilities and high quality of the work of the Army Veterinary Services in the Near East. In the Far East, says Brigadier E. S. W. Peatt (Vet. Record, May 12, 1945, p. 219), even greater responsibilities are being undertaken. The campaign in Burma made necessary a return to animal transport, and this fact, together with the duty of providing fresh meat for the troops, made necessary an organization for the care of a great variety of animals. The result has been that the British and Indian veterinary personnel has increased to ten times its pre-war strength and further increases are likely.
