CHRONIC FARCY.

much so as to be almost identical. We mark this difference, 
viz., that splents do not always produce lameness, that is to say, 
when the exostosis is slowly thrown out, and, consequently, the 
periosteum gradually pressed upon, and it not interfering with 
the flexor tendons, suspensory ligaments or motion of the joint: 
but, in the case of sore shins, the inflammatory action is more 
suddenly produced, more active and extensive, and always situ- 
ated beneath the extensor tendon. From this circumstance, 
perfect extension of the limb is rendered almost impossible, and 
the slightest attempt in progression extremely painful. We 
know from observation and analogy, that when tendons, the 
periosteum, or other resisting membranes, become the seat of 
inflammation, there is — other circumstances being the same — a 
greater increase of sensibility than in parts of more yielding 
texture. 
CHRONIC FARCY OBSERVED IN THIRTY-EIGHT 
MARES THAT HAD BEEN LEAPED BY A GLAN- 
DERED HORSE. 
j By M. Dayot, F.S., Department de Finistire. 
A draught stallion, six years old, beautifully formed, and in 
good condition, the integument free and yielding, full of gaiety 
and in high condition, presented the following symptoms : The 
right nostril was moist, and there ran from it a grey-coloured 
viscous discharge. There was also a discharge from the right 
eye, and the lachrymal vein was enlarged. The lower part of 
the frontal bone was slightly turgid. The ganglia on the right 
side were enlarged, adherent to the integument, and without 
any pain on pressure. 
He was observed to be in this state on the 16th of May, and 
was destroyed on the 13th of July, three veterinary surgeons 
having declared him to be glandered. 
The post-mortem examination was conducted by Messrs. Dayot 
and Barjolin. 
There were not any pathological alterations of structure, except 
in the head. 
The right nasal cavity enclosed superiorly a large quantity of 
grumous, gluey, and grey-coloured matter. The thickness of 
the pituitary membrane at the surface of the cornets, at the 
superior extremity of the ethmoidal cells and the frontal sinuses,
