GOATPOX; VARIOLA CAPRINA.
In Persia according to Bruce goats suffer from a form of variola, having larger vesicles, umbilicated and approximating to, if not identical with cowpox. In Algiers there is found a goatpox from which sheep are alleged to be immune (Nocard, Peuch, Bremond, Galtier) so that further observations are wanted to put the different forms of variola of the goat in their proper places. In a country where sheeppox is constantly present, there is of course the possible source of fallacy of experimenting with animals that have already had the disease, therefore it would be expedient to put all forms of goat variola under police control.
