thrilling feeling to the finger when com- 

 pressed firmly. 



Dog whines. 



Breathing is quiet. Heart's impulse, 216 

 in a minute— (Dr. Gam^ee). 18 beats in 

 5 seconds. In half a minute I counted 

 100 beats, strong, irregular. Dr. Gr. feels 

 a purring tremor over the cardiac region. 



Loud double blowing murmur on auscul- 

 tation, wliich, I think, is regurgitant. 



On auscultation over the carotid, no mur- 

 mur is audible Dog breathes very 

 quietly. The double murmur varies 

 much in intensity, the diastolic is Jar 

 more prolonged. The hseinadynamo- 

 meter was now stopped by a clot, so the 

 nozzle was taken out of the artery, and 

 the appara'us cleaned. A jet or two of 

 blood issued from the artery before the 

 nozzle was re-inserted. 



Ee-inserted. Mercury stood at 4. 



Convulsive movement. Head turned over. 

 There was a clot in the artery, just at 

 the end of the nozzle, and this was 

 broken up by pressure. 



Dog dead. His heait was going pretty 

 regularly, and the beats were apparently 

 of good strength just before the dog died. 

 On looking at the penis, no tremors were 

 observed, and no prostatic mucus was 

 seen. There was a good deal of water 

 about the point of penis, from dog's 

 having emptied its bladder. This might 

 have possibly concealed a drop or two, if 

 sucli were there. 



At 4.59 there were a kind of convulsive snorts. 



Post-mortem examination made immediately. 



The tongue seemed somewhat pale. On opening the thoracic cavity, the 

 veins were found very full, and perfectly turgid. The right side of the heart 

 was distended by dark fluid blood, and the veins on its surface were dark 

 and full. The left heart contained a little fluid blood, and was flaccid. On 

 the surface were one or two milk spots. The ventricle VfSiS opened before 

 the competency of the aortic valves was tried, and then they were scarcely com- 

 petent, but on examination seemed perfectly healthy. The trachea and larger 

 bronchi contained no mucus, but there was some frothy mucus in the smaller 

 bronchi. At 5.21' the oesophagus contracted rhythmically when laid along with 

 the heart and lungs on a plate. It continued to do so briskly when stimulated 

 on its mucous surface, after being cut open.
