It will be seen that one of the cases of pleurisy among horses 
terminated fatally. The animal was brought here on the 20th of 
June, and had, according to the account of the person in charge of 
him, been unwell for rather more than a week, but was not placed 
under regular medical treatment. When he came here the usual 
symptoms of hydrothorax were distinctly marked : he was kept 
under treatment for two days, at the end of which time he died. 
A large quantity of serum containing flakes of lymph was found 
in his chest after death ; the surfaces of the pleurae were coated 
with lymph, and the pulmonary tissues appeared much shrunk, 
in consequence of their compression by the fluid contained in the 
cavity of the thorax. 
The case of scirrhous tumour in a cow was one in which the 
parotid gland of the near side, together with the integument cover- 
ing it, and the adjacent tissues, were involved in an enlarged and 
hardened mass, the gland itself being the immediate seat of dis- 
ease. The size of the tumour, as a whole, was that of an ordinary
