IRITIS, OR LYMPH ATTACHED TO THE IRIS IN A CALF. 3 
I was about to leave her, somewhat puzzled as to her case, 
when, on observing her walk towards the door, I was struck at 
seeing the blood at each pulsation regurgitate in the jugular 
veins, as high as their bifurcations. It directly occurred to me 
that there was some obstruction offered to the free course of 
the venous blood through the right side of the heart; and the 
more I thought about this and examined my patient for it, the 
more firmly I became convinced that such was the case. I 
then told the man in attendance I could do nothing more that 
was likely to save her: still, they.might keep her on if they 
chose, and give her any thing she would eat. I left him with 
the understanding that when she died he would let me know. 
On the 12th a messenger came to inform me, that she had 
that morning been found dead in her box, after being supped 
and appearing as usual over night. 
I went the following day and examined the different viscera 
contained in the pelvis, abdomen and thorax. With the ex¬ 
ception, however, of tw r o or three slightly enlarged mesenteric 
glands, nothing was found until we came to the heart; which 
presented nearly the same appearance as in the former case, 
only that the large tumour was attached to the yielding and 
not to the solid wall of the ventricle. 
My friend, Mr. W. Cox, veterinary surgeon, of Ashborne, 
saw the heart, and he informs me that he has met with cases 
in cattle of a similar nature. 
*** Mr. Cox would materially serve the cause of veterinary 
science, and oblige us, if he would favour us with some account 
of cases both rare and curious in the present state of our 
knowledge.—E d. Vet. 
IRITIS, OR LYMPH ATTACHED TO THE IRIS, IN 
A CALF THREE MONTHS AND A HALF OLD. 
By W. A. Cartwright, M.R.C.V.S., Whitchurch, Salop. 
On the 7th June, 1851, I was ordered to send up a powder 
to the Mount Farm, to blow into a calf’s eye, that had got 
a skin growing over it. I declined doing so, but promised I 
would see it. I accordingly went, and found my patient was a 
rearing calf, about three-and-a-half months old, partly fed by 
hand, and partly out at grass. It was in a loose box, and the 
eye, at first sight, looked as if the centre of it was half covered
