excrescences on certain vegetables, they formed the birth-place of 
the entozoa 1 I have alreadv recorded similar tumours, and simi-

Journal; and also of the existence of these worms, but not of the 
nidus, in the bronchi of a zebra (vol. ix, p. 507). The worms in 
the trachea of calves are illustrations of the same subject; but, in 
truth, too many of our examinations have been most slovenly con¬

THE CONCRETIONS OF FARCY AND GLANDERS. 
M. Lassaigne, Professor of Chemistry at the Veterinary School 
at Alfort, has examined the divers materials which constitute the 
concretions that are often found in animals affected with farcy 
and glanders. He was assisted in his analysis by the Director of 
the school. 
Having collected these productions at different stages of the 
maladies, these gentlemen assert that, in their recent state, these 
concretions consist only of a white fibrous and albuminous coagu- 
lum, in which is afterwards deposited a variable proportion of 
phosphate and carbonate of lime. This increase of saline particles 
is one of the causes of the hardness which these tubercles assume 
at the centre of the organs in which they are found.
