An account is given of outbreaks of anthrax among mink, which occurred in Great Britain during 1936–8, and the possible danger to human beings from this source is discussed. Attention is called to the peculiar features of one of the outbreaks and to the probable mode of infection.

Acknowledgements. My best thanks are due to Dr D. Jordan Lloyd for supplying information and references concerning the dressing of pelts, to the Veterinary Department of the Ministry of Agriculture for details of outbreaks of anthrax during 1936–8, and to Dr F. C. Minett for his assistance in compiling this paper.
