a yellow uneven pseudo-membranous layer, and internally by a 
very thick false membrane which was smooth on its internal sur- 
face nearest to the heart, and roughened by long and large prolon- 
gations on that surface which came in contact with the fluid in 
the abnormal cavity. 
M. Laurent, V.S., has sent us several calculous productions. 
The School has to thank M. Loucherd for presenting them with 
several representations of the characteristic lesions of glanders. 
It also has to thank M Rigot, sen., for the presentation of a snaffle 
which enables the horse to drink when he requires it. This was 
of his own invention. 
The library has, this year, been enriched by a great number of 
veterinary works coming from the library of M. Huzard, sen. 
The School has great pleasure in testifying gratitude to the 
Minister of Agriculture and Commerce for all the kindness it has 
received from him. 
EXTRACT OF THE COMPTE RENDU OF THE ROYAL 
VETERINARY SCHOOL AT LYONS, IN THE 
SCHOLASTIC YEAR OF 1841-42. 
By Professor Rey. 
In the year from August 1841 to July 1842 there were ad- 
mitted into the clinical school 1236 animals, comprising 680 
horses, asses or mules, 16 cows, 23 sheep, 509 dogs, 8 animals of 
various species. 
The number of animals admitted into the hospital this year is 218 
more than that of the preceding year. The chief part of this extra 
number are horses. The number of dogs also has been greater, 
notwithstanding the severe measures adopted by government with 
regard to them, and the number that have been destroyed. 
Of 680 solipedes, 584 have been sent out cured or convalescent, 
and 93 have died or been killed in the infirmary. The diseases 
with which they have been attacked present themselves in the fol- 
lowing order : — farcy 4, glanders 24, gastro-encephalitis or ab- 
dominal vertigo 6, tetanus 4, acute and chronic internal diseases 
44, and surgical cases 9. 
If we subtract from this number 32 horses that were destroyed 
because they were affected with farcy, glanders, fractures, and 
other diseases, which did not permit us to hope to. obtain a cure, 
then the mortality will be limited to the average of one in twelve.
