on rupture of the womb in a bitch, and on a double laceration 
of the scrotum in a horse. It should be mentioned that both of 
these operations were in the course of the year performed with 
successful results. The cause of the failure in other cases was 
the compression of the broad ligament in the wound formed by 
the operation in one animal, and the occurrence of mortification 
in the other.

The Lectures of Mr. Youatt have long, probably too long, occu¬ 
pied a certain portion of the pages of The Veterinarian. 
He is now arrived at a convenient resting-place, and the physio¬ 
logy and pathology of the nerves of peculiar sensation—the sub¬ 
ject next in order—may be deferred to an uncertain, although, 
perhaps, not very remote period. He would now be anxious to 
see the early pages of each number occupied by the lectures, either 
continuous or occasional, of some other teachers. At the com¬ 
mencement of a new course of instruction at the veterinary 
school at St. Pancras, which he trusts is now assured and not far 
distant, how many new and interesting points of anatomy, and 
physiology, and pathology, embracing, for the first time, the 
wide field of all domesticated animals, will necessarily come 
under consideration, and how many a pleasing and important 
lecture might The Veterinarian be made to contain! We 
shall be most happy to take as copious and as correct notes as 
we are able of peculiar lectures, or of courses of lectures, with¬ 
out trouble or inconvenience to the lecturer. For those that may 
be sent to us fiom other schools north of the Tweed, or across 
the channel, we shall be grateful, and they shall be inserted with 
correctness and fidelity. 
This, however, has reference only to some change in the earlier 
pages of our Journal. The body of it will still receive the con¬ 
tributions of our brethren in every part of the United Kingdom, 
and will chronicle the proceedings of foreign schools; and there, 
we are happy to say that we have promises of many a contribu¬ 
tion from new associates, and assurances of increased zeal from 
those by whom our pages have been hitherto enriched. In our 
January number we shall commence our new plan, and we frankly 
confess that we anticipate much improvement in our Journal, 
and a considerable addition to the pleasure and satisfaction of 
our readers. 
We can thus far comply with the numerous and anxious in¬ 
quiries of our Correspondents respecting the measures which 
have been taken by the English Agricultural Society for the ex-
