1,000, and afterwards dressed with iodoform. On the 16th there was 

 considerable erysipelas of the whole of the tibial region. This was treated with 

 belladonna externally, and tine. ferr. perchlorid 4 minmis, and pot. chlor. 

 4 grs. in a draught morning and evening. On the 18th all symi)toms of 

 erysipelas had vanished, and the treatment was discontinued. The case did well 

 tUl the 20th, when the temperature rose to 103-8 with a muco-purtdent discharge 

 from both nostrUs. The animal was found dead at 6 a.m. on the 21st. 



Post-mortem at 11 a.m., 21st November, 1891. 



The body was well nourished. At the umbilicus a hard tumour was felt. On 

 dissection of the wound, the whole of the adjacent muscles were infiltrated with 

 minute abscesses. The sacrosciatic nerve was highly inflamed, and there was a 

 large clot in the popliteal vein. The inguinal lymphatic glands were highly 

 inflamed, and showed numerous points of pus on section. The ilio-coecal valve 

 was highly congested. The rumen showed four deep ulcers, with the character- 

 istic raised edges. The lungs showed old adhesions on both sides, but more 

 particularly on the right. Both lungs were in a gangrenous condition, and were 

 simply a mass of minute abscesses, especially the right one. The heart was 

 adherent to the pericardium, and both it and the endocardium had well marked 

 ecchymosis on them. The right Bide of the heart was almost filled up with a 

 large ante-mortem clot, that passed right through the auricular-ventricular 

 opening. The tumour felt at the umbilicus turned out to be 6 hair calculi in the 

 rumen, that altogether weighed 3| ozs. Tloere was an entire absence of the new- 

 mown hay smell that is so characteristic of septicsemia in the hiiman being. 



This case appears to show how little chance there is of deer living tlxat have 

 been wounded and escape into the jungle, and how, from motives of humanity, 

 sportsmen should refrain from firing " Long " and " Snap-shots."

No. IIL— A TUBICOLAE ANNELIDE. 



On tie beach of Mahim — -not the Bombay Mahim, but that 50 miles north 

 of it, best known as Kelvi Mahim— I came across an annelide worth desciibing, 

 as some one may identify it. 



The tube was leathery, about 6 inches long, and one-sixth of an inch in 

 extreme diameter, of a dirty fleshy- white colour.. About four and a half inches 

 of this tube were attached to the underside of a loose stone some 1 inches 

 by 6, and 3 inches thick ; such a stone as one would think rather too big 

 to throw at a dog, but not too big to dash down upon any object which 

 might deserve that attention. This attached part of the tube was much 

 flattened to the stone and greatly contorted. The remainder was straight, 

 free, and cylindrical, beaiing at its end at the sui'face of a tide -pool, wherein
