 Gilchrist mentions Dysuria fPhuchnoothJ ; the urine is scant v and 

 high coloured, the animal loses flesh, and becomes weak. The 

 disorder is protracted though not fatal, and must be treated by 

 making the patient drink conjee and tyre infusion freely. To 

 Gilchrist was described by Serwans _Roosue lia viivrz or Soozark, 

 which he considered to be H.ematuria, the principal symptoms 

 being scantiness and the presence of blood in the urine which is 

 passed gutiatim and with difficulty. Liberal supplies of demulcent 

 fluids with nitre, bleeding, purging, and fomentations are recom- 

 mended. 



The Museum of the Array Veterinary School, Poena, contains 

 specimens of Eenal and Urethral Calculi from a camel. Two 

 largo ones were taken from the kidney and a small one, the 

 cause of death, from the urethra. A case of this disorder was 

 recently recorded in the American Veterinary Review. 



CiiAriER IX.— GENERATIA^E DISORDERS. 



Charles Steel has noticed an oozing of red-coloured fluid fi'om 

 an opening two inches below the ear during trying marches. 

 This is, doubtless, from the temporal gland figured by Lombar- 

 dini and found by him to be absent or rudimentary in females. 

 These glands consist on each temple of two greyish lobes with 

 several orifices of ducts, they are specially active in the rutting* 

 male and resemble the ched gland of the elephant. Baron Larrey 

 observed that camels in Egypt at the time of rut sometimes suffer 

 from a kind of madness and that bites from them when in this 

 state are severe but not contagious. The symptoms exhibited by 

 the camel under these circumstances are flow of an abundant thick 

 saliva, constant bellowing, horror of water (?), wasting-fever, 

 depilatiou, and bad temper shown by their pursuing men and 

 other animals. If the animal were excited the symptoms increased 

 and often ended fatally. Doubtless the learned French surgeon in 

 these records has somewhat confused phrenitis, true rabies, and 

 genetic furor, but we record his views in order that they may be 

 verified or controverted hereafter among the mass of uncertain 

 and superstitious matter which cumbers Camelinc Pathology.
