ANALYSIS OF 1835.

Molyneux and Mr, Richardson. The author of this summary of 
valuable matter in the present volume has constant recourse to 
torsion in all operations on smaller animals. 
Mr. Hales has started a new and ingenious, and, in the 
opinion of the present chronicler, well-founded theory of inflam¬ 
mation of the vein after bleeding. According' to the common 
opinion, and that espoused by some of our best writers, the in¬ 
flammation of the jugular vein extends towards the head, and 
contrary to the course of the circulation. Mr. Hales, on the other 
hand, maintains that ‘Hhe inflammation proceeds in each di¬ 
rection, above and below the orifice—that it does not usually, if 
at all, extend to a greater distance than three or four inches on 
each side of the orifice; and that the urgent symptoms which 
sometimes exist about the head and throat are produced by the 
sudden obstruction of the circulation, and other causes, and not 
by direct spreading of the inflammation of the vein.’’ This is a 
subject well worthy of examination. 
A singular case of laceration of the left jugular vein was very 
skilfully conducted and cured by Mr. Hawthorn. 
M. Latour adds another to the recorded cases of intermittent 
fever.” The veterinary nosology is beginning to be placed on its 
proper basis. 
Mr. Meyer’s case of ossification of the aorta, and his remarks 
on ossific deposits generally, are worthy of his rising talent. 
Professor Dupuy has recorded a case not only of the presence 
of filariae in the great mesenteric artery, but of their having 
formed to themselves a habitation, with numerous little cells, in 
the arterial tissue ; and Mr. Youatt describes two tumours under 
the peritoneal coat of the stomach of a leopard, the centres of 
which were filled with worms of the same description. These 
are perfectly new views of the occasional residence at least, and 
the habits, and travels, and effects of these intestinal j)arasites. 
The history of the entozoa presents a vast, and important, and 
almost untrodden field of inquiry. 
Mr Meyer’s case of croup is a valuable addition to our know¬ 
ledge of the respiratory diseases of the horse. The prompt and 
decisive treatment which he recommends is worthy of much praise.
