In many cases the bladders of the killed animals were 
empty, or their contents were so scanty, that I could not be 
supplied. The urine obtained was in all cases more or less 
turbid. That of the horse killed on Noy. 5th, was particu- 
larly rich in albumen and oxalate of lime. 
The urine of horses during convalescence, loses first the 
albumen and afterwards the oxalate of lime. According to 
some authors, oxalate of lime is of common occurrence in 
the urine of healthy herbivora; but the fact that a decrease 
was plainly visible during the time of convalescence, shows 
that even if this be so, its quantity was considerably in- 
creased in the period of sickness. 
On Nov. 16th, I received the urine of the horse which had 
been killed on that date, while suffering from the secondary 
stage of the disease. It contained some oxalate of lime, but 
no albumen. It was so rich in mucus, that it was of a 
gelatinous consistence. The short duration of the disease, 
and the lateness of the date when the investigation com- 
menced, made a more thorough examination impossible ; and 
I only hope, that the points lacking in this investigation will 
be covered by the researches and observations of others, who
