butter adulterations, but not sufficient of itself to be entirely de-

“Fresh Water Sponges,” by Henry Mills, was read by title. 
“The Meibomian Glands of the Cat,” by E. H. Sargent, show 
a number of serial sections and illustrated by drawings demons- 
trating the anatomy of these glands, and the difference noted be- 
tween the human and the cat—in shape and size of tube. Prof. 
Stowell expressed his interest in the subject, and Dr. Fell spoke 
commending this work and hoping we will have more such. In 
the discussion following some one inquired as to the use of these 
glands in the cat, and whether a cat cried. The witty reply was 
-made that when it did the lachrymal glands of the “ hearer” (ear) 
were more apt to be affected.
