was quadrupled. This membrane was red, of a violet colour in 
certain points, and pale, discoloured, blanched, and rugous, to 
the touch in others. In its substance were small white glo- 
bules, isolated or confluent. There were two superficial ulcer- 
ations on the surface of the mucous membrane of the frontal 
sinuses, which enclosed a pultaceous matter white and more 
consistent than that which has already been referred to. The 
ganglions of the lower jaw were hard, and could scarcely be cut : 
they contained lymph of various characters, clouded and opaque. 
These lesions, therefore, united in presenting the characters of 
glanders. 
M. Dayot was consulted respecting a great number of mares 
that had been covered by this stallion : he had occasion to see 
sixty or eighty of them, of which he found nearly forty evidently 
farcied . 
M. Dayot has described the farcy lesions among these mares 
in a way that can leave no doubt as to their true character. 
They were principally found about the shoulders, the superior 
parts of the neck, and the genital organs. Between four 
and five months of treatment were requisite to remove the 
complaint. 
M. Dayot concluded with much reason that the source of this 
farcy affection was the application of the glanderous matter 
that flowed from the right nostril of the stallion in leaping the 
mares, or smelling at the genital parts, or seizing them by the 
shoulders and neck, as he was accustomed to do. 
M. Dayot inoculated a horse and a mare with the matter that 
flowed from the nostril of this horse ; he also applied some of 
the discharge to various parts of the skin. The mare lived three 
weeks, gradually wasting away. The horse lived much longer. 
M. Leblanc remarks, that these facts are exceedingly import- 
ant. They compel us to draw this conclusion, that a horse la- 
bouring under chronic glanders may transmit either that malady 
or farcy under certain circumstances, or may not transmit either 
of them. 
A CASE OF COITION AFTER IMPREGNATION. 
By Mr. King, Sen., E.*$., Stanmore. 
Having, hitherto, always entertained an opinion that the mare 
or cow would not admit the male after impregnation, and never 
having met with a well authenticated case before, I had almost
