head and eyes. The respiration was unaltered. She would 
stand up for awhile, and then lie down. We punctured her about 
the nose to bleed her, but I fancy little blood was obtained. 
1 P.m. — 1 went into a bin and looked through an opening 
there, and then she ran in a bold wild state towards me. At the 
cow-house door I attempted to frighten her when she was lying 
down, but she immediately sprang up and ran at me furiously. 
I threw her a few sprigs of greens, of which she swallowed one 
or two pieces ; but she would not touch a little good hay. We 
then brought some water in an iron bowl-dish, which she tried to 
knock over ; she then laid hold of the edge of the dish with her 
mouth, and afterwards put her nose into the water, but did not 
drink any of it, nor shew any dread of it. She, afterwards, put 
her nose under the side of the dish, lay down, and stretched out 
her head and neck like a dog. 
5th. 10 p.m. — She seems about the same. 1 watched her for 
nearly half an hour. I had half a pailful of water brought, and 
at times she would put her nose into it, and keep it there for a 
short period, when she would swallow a small quantity at a time : 
this she repeated about four times in the half hour; she also 
sucked the edge of the pail and bit it gently. She would attempt 
to bolt at us, if any one stirred or attempted to go near, or frighten 
her ; she also pawed with her fore feet for awhile, occasionally 
picked up and ate the dirty straw, but did not eat any of the hay 
put to her ; she however ate the green top of a turnip. The re- 
spiration was natural — she roared violently and often, and on 
finishing the roar there was a bellow and that peculiar yawning 
growl that some wild animals have when gaping or finishing their 
roar. After standing up awhile she would lie down again, and 
then suddenly spring up, and two or three times she hastily turned 
all round, her muzzle being in a direction towards her right side. 
This l fancied she did from not having sufficient room to run 
straight an end. At times she would stare at us or towards some 
surrounding object for a time, and then leave off. When she lay 
down she would do it rather roughly, and with all her legs at 
once ; and sometimes she would stretch her head and neck down 
on the ground and her nose out. There was a little dry discharge 
from her eyes at each corner of them. Her general appearance 
about the head was lively, and she stared boldly at us; but she 
was beginning to get weaker. 
6th. 11 a.m, — The symptoms very similar to yesterday, but 
she is evidently becoming weaker. It does not appear that she 
has passed any dung. She dropped with great force when she 
attempted to lie down : it was almost a tumble. The eyes look 
very hollow. The men saw her eat a little hay yesterday.
