yet there are few who would attribute the chief entrance of the virus into those attacked in an epid mic to accidental inoculation of the skin and infection through a
wound or abrasion. This made of infection takes its place among the others, but it does nor Fald a prominent position, and it cer ainly does not as in plague, nearly displace all others. The experience in Hongkong of plague-infected poultry being found in the makes is suggestive of a source of infection which with the prevailing ideas is apt to be overlooked. We trust that the Hongkong markets will not be the only ones inspected for plague-infected animals, but that wherever plague x'sts in epidemic form the food supply will be particularly examined as a possible source of infection. We would commend the search especially to the Indian authorities, to whom it shont be of special interest.
