VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
associated with some legend of the country. You find its 
representation almost everywhere throughout the canton. 
The museum is at some little distance from the infirmary, 
and appeared to us to be a museum of comparative anatomy, 
there being preparations in it from man and the domestic 
animals, fishes, and serpents, down to the tadpole. All the 
smaller preparations are enclosed in glass cases, and are very 
numerous, although seemingly not very well arranged. We 
observed great numbers of parasites, also of urinary and in- 
testinal concretions, with others from the mammary glands, 
and osselets taken from the muscles. They frequently meet 
with the worm in the eye ( filaria oculi ), but they never at- 
tempt its extraction, as the result is not satisfactory, the organ 
being always in a diseased state, which favours the develop- 
ment of the parasite. 
Many of the morbid or pathological specimens were very 
interesting, but the shortness of our visit permitted us not 
to particularise nor to investigate them as closely as we could 
have wished. Altogether, we think they have the elements 
of a good school there, although it appeared to us to be 
wanting in the spirit to carry it out. But it should be re- 
membered that Bern is only one of the cantons of Switzer- 
land, although the largest, it being 150 miles long and 75 
miles broad ; its capital of the same name contains 13,000 or 
14,000 inhabitants ; and that there is another school at Zurich, 
which, unfortunately, not knowing the existence of, we did 
not visit. We were informed that it is somewhat smaller than 
the school at Bern, but conducted in the same way. 
Veterinary Jurisprudence. 
We have received the .Derby and Chesterfield Reporter , con- 
taining a case tried at the County Court, Derby : Spencer v. 
Saxelby . It was one of warranty or no warranty, con- 
taining little of a professional nature otherwise. Witnesses, 
as usual, were called pro and con .
