FURTHER REMARKS ON CORONITIS. 679 
symphysis, palate, or under the ligamentum nuchae ; or a far better 
plan will be to place the caliper instrument, invented by Mr. Cope- 
man, into the orbits, whereby we shall not run the risk of tearing 
the vagina. We may also tie a cord around the under or upper 
jaw, taking especial care that the skin is enclosed. Having 
done this, we must wait for the throes of the mother, and try, 
if possible, to remove it by using (at the time the uterus is in 
action) all justifiable force ; but if we find that it is not likely to 
come away without endangering the life of our patient, we must 
desist, and try other methods. We may now attempt the removal 
of the lower jaw by first dividing the symphysis, and afterwards 
disarticulate it on each side, or saw the posterior part of it off 
underneath the joints. If this does not succeed, our next plan will 
be to make incisions where we think requisite through the skin 
covering the head, after which we may use the saw, and separate 
the head in different places ; then we may with hooks and forceps 
remove either a portion or the whole of the skull. I have in the 
sow and ewe removed the skull with hooks and my fingers only. 
Mr. Copeman’s hooks and knife (which are fixed on the finger) 
would here, especially in the ewe and sow, be very useful, provided 
there should be sufficient space in the vagina. 
Should all these means fail, we have no alternative but either to 
run the risk of the Caesarean operation, or trust to nature by leaving 
the foetus in the uterus.

FURTHER REMARKS ON CORONITIS, 
IN REPLY TO MR. W. A. CHERRY. 
By T. Wright, M.R.C.V.S ., Brighton. 
It is not without some little hesitation that I again take up the 
subject of coronitis; but, judging from the tone of Mr. Cherry’s 
reply to my remarks on his paper on that disease, that I have been 
misunderstood (probably from insufficient explanation on my part), 
I again request a portion of the space in The Veterinarian,
