Default Count instances of text in date entries

I'm using Excel 2007. I have a column of dates in this format - 04-Aug-08,
15-Jul-08, etc. I would like to count the number of times a certain month
shows up in the column, i.e. how many of the dates in the column are in Aug,
how many in Jul, etc. I've tried:

=COUNTIF(B4:B40,"Aug")
=COUNTIF(B4:B40,"*Aug*")
=COUNTIF(B4:B40,"-Aug-")

none of these formulas works. Please help. Thanks.
