the intestines had taken place, and that the horse had better be 
shot, which was accordingly done. 
On post-mortem examination, I found the commencement of 
the rectum ruptured for several inches, with a considerable por- 
tion of the single colon protruding through the opening. The 
dung he had voided was thrown away, as is generally the case; 
but my impression was, that the rupture must have taken 
place in the act of straining, as the owner assured me he had 
not received the least injury to account for it otherwise. The 
other intestines were comparatively healthy. 
I beg to add, that last week I had a case of genuine strangles 
in a bay horse fourteen years old, the property of the Bishop 
of Worcester.

We resume our searches into the volumes of the “ Bulletin,” 
which for a time have suffered interruption by the arrival of 
“Blaine’s Canine Pathology.” The present volume, though 
more bulky than its predecessor, is, like it, considerably less so 
than the First Volume : a sort of intermediate condition which 
may be said to apply to its contents, as well as to its magnitude; 
since there are several articles in it wherefrom we may make 
useful selections, though there appears hardly one which, as a 
whole, would repay us for translation, or our readers for perusal.
