Glanders and Anthrax Orders.

of Glanders were notified by the Veterinary Inspectors of the
London County Council. In these cases the necessary steps in
connection with the disinfection and cleansing of the premises
were taken by the officials of the London County Council, but the
officers of the Borough Council visited the premises and obtained
the names of any men who had been in contact with the diseased
animals and notified them that if any symptoms of illness appeared
the fact should be at once reported.

The next Table shows the number of deaths from these for
the year, as well as for the previous decennium for the whole
