ANIMAL DISEASES

RESEARCH IN AUSTRALIA WORK OF NEW ZEALANDER. Animal disease problems at present engaging the attention of research workers in the various Australian states were explained to the annual conference of |he New Zealand Veterinary Association in an address by Mr D. A. Gill, district superintendent for the Department ot Agriculture at Wellington. Mr Gill recently returned to New Zealand after 15 months as acting lecturer in veterinary pathology and bacteriology at the school of veterinary science in Sydney University. Mr Gill said the progress that had been made within the past few years toward the elimination of the most pressing problems regarding the control ot animal disease in Australia was very striking. In fact, few other countries could nroduce so fine a record of achievement in so short a period, and present indications were that this rapid progress was being well maintained. At the Glenfield Research Station, near Sydney, which was under the direction ot a well-known veterinarian, Dr Seddon, who was a New Zealander, there were eight veterinarians engaged in various research projects, and a very wide range was covered, including a detailed study of poultry diseases.
