I supposed, I took it between my finger and thumb, and with a 
sharp pair of scissors completely removed it. The wound was 
then dressed with tow covered with cerate, and carefully preserved 
from all contact with the air. The animal did not appear to be 
much incommoded or weakened by this second operation; seven 
pounds of blood, however, were abstracted, and he was put on 
low diet. 
“lOM.—The edges of the wound are much swelled, and the 
wound itself has a pale and unhealthy aspect: I covered it with 
charcoal powder from the fir-tree*, after having well washed it 
with a solution of chloride of lime.

our periodical to the Royal Veterinary Schools of Toulouse and 
Dresden. In December we trust that we shall be enabled to 
give a detailed account of the termination of the session of 1837-8 
at Alfort. These sketches of the progress of our art are exceed- 
ingly pleasing, and highly useful. The termination of the ses¬ 
sion in the greater part of the medical schools, and, we believe, 
in every veterinary school but one, is distinguished by a concours 
of the friends of the professors, the pupils, and the science; by 
a rapid sketch of the aim and progress of the school; by prac¬ 
tical proofs of the diligence and improvement of certain of the 
pupils ; and by the distribution of certificates, or other honorary 
rewards, among the most deserving of them. The time is not 
far distant, we trust, when the English veterinary school will 
cease to be an exception to this almost universal custom; and,
