Résumé

He gaves an account of an outbreak of plague in September 1894 in Soktui. "The origin of this outbreak of plague was easily traced. The first patient had just before his illness gone to attend a court at Tzagan-Olui. On the way there his dog caught and killed, in a very brief time, six tarbagans, which the man carried some versts, and then hid in some straw by the roadside, to pick them up on his return. He returned on August 31,and was taken ill on September 2. The rapidity with which the animals were caught seemed to show that they must have been suffering from disease." (Quoted from Clemow, "Plague in Siberia and Mongolia, and the Tarbagan," Journ. Of Trop. Med. 1900,p.170.)
