to gangrene, and one portion was in a state of complete 
mortification. The stomach was gorged with ingesta. The 
duodenum and jejunum were likewise distended with food. 
The posterior portion of the ilium, beyond the invagination, 
was quite empty.

DISLOCATION OF THE OS SUFFRAGINIS. 
By J. D. Peech, M.R.C.V.S., Wentworth. 
A very strong hunter, up to fifteen stone, the property of 
a nobleman, was turned out into a loose box and spacious 
yard. The groom in attendance went at the regular hour to 
feed him, when, as soon as the box door was opened, the 
horse trotted into the yard, and rushed against the entrance 
gate, which gave way, and allowed of his escape. He then 
loped upon the pavement, and fell with great violence on his 
near quarter, the foot and leg being bent under his body. 
On rising, which he did immediately, a frighful injury was dis- 
covered to have taken place, viz., complete dislocation of the 
os suffraginis, together with laceration of the external lateral, 
long inferior, short inferior, and crucial ligaments. The ses- 
samoides were torn asunder, and the inferior extremity of the 
metatarsal bone came in contact with the ground. The inte- 
gument covering the lateral part of the fetlock-joint, having 
been cut through, its articular surface was very much 
abraded; the foot was turned to the inside, the only con- 
nection remaining being the internal ligament, tendons, and 
integument. 
Humanity dictated his destruction, which was immediately 
carried into effect.
