tensiou of the belly with solid matter sulpliale of soda with 

 tartrate of antimony is advocated, and in dyspepsia table salt and 

 o-reen food (Fogliata). The Native treatment for indigestion is to 

 fire on the stifle three times on each side, each line being three or 

 four inches long. Gilchrist, under the Native name of Yahee 

 GoLAH describes a form of indigestion which is sometimes associ- 

 ated with hydatids in the liver. It is denoted by weakness and 

 a mangy condition of the surface of the body, often with 

 obstinate eruption. He recommends well washing the surface 

 of the body, giving grooming, and an occasional purgative, and 

 putting the animal through a course of alteratives. 



Intestinal Parasites in the camel are considered to be rare, 

 but certainly they sometimes cause mischief, as in cases referred 

 to above under the heading diarrhoea. The Trichocephalus 

 mentioned as Trich. cameli may have been either Trich. aflSnis 

 of Rudolphi, which occurs both in the Bactrian Camel and the 

 Dromedary, or it may have been Tricho. echinophylus described 

 by Nitzsch in the Zeit. f. ges. Naturwiss ; 1886, xxviii, p. 271. 



Appendix: THE LIVER AND PANCREAS.— The Liver in 

 the camel is discoid in form and principally remarkable for the 

 amount of division it undergoes at its free margin, whereby it 

 is broken up into lobes numbering over two hundred. In addi- 

 tion to these minor fissures there are the ordinary larger furrows 

 extending on to the anterior and posterior surfaces. The whole 

 organ is small for the size of the animal. Its duct is small, devoid 

 of gcdl Madder, and unites with that of the pancreas before termi- 

 natino- in the intestine, which it does at some 58 mm. from the 

 pylorus. The pancreas is elongated in the direction of the 

 spine and bifid posteriorly. It occupies the usual position and 

 sometimes has a small supplementary duct which opens into the 

 bowel apart from the bile duct. Congestion of the Liver has been 

 described by Veterinary Surgeon (1st Class) Symonds in the 

 Quarterly Journal of Veterinary Science in India, Volume III., 

 page 368.*
