increase upon the census of 1871, the highest
ratio being in Kansas, where it was found to be
ten per cent. The humber remained the same
in the Eastern States, with the exception Of
four New England States, In which there was
falling off of one per cent This decrease is
not attributed to the epizootic. The disease
prevailed over the entire continent, but gen.
