were some dozens of these deposits, but in none did I per¬ 
ceive anything like the suppurative process. Most part of 
the peritonaeum, which lines the abdominal muscles, was in a 
high state of disease, being coated with a thick glutinous, 
yellow serosity, confined mostly to the left side. The right 
kidney appeared healthy; but the left showed slight traces of 
disease: theYest of the viscera appeared normal. 
I may here just remark, that the disease showed itself at 
the beginning in such a mild form, that I never conjectured 
for a moment that such extensive disease, as was shown 
by dissection, could have taken place; indeed, according 
to the late remarks of Mr. Litt, if 1 had gone boldly forward 
and described her disease, I assuredly should have gone and 
done egregiously wrong. Yours faithfully.

A Tumour of great size and weighty supposed to be an enlarge¬ 
ment of the pancreas of a Bulloclc , connected with a diseased 
Kidney. 
On the 2d of July last, Mr. James Sharpen, a prac¬ 
titioner residing at Southrepps in this county, did me the 
favour of forwarding for inspection a large tumour, which 
was removed from the abdominal cavity of a three-year-old 
bullock, the day previously. 
The animal was slaughtered in consequence of his general 
appearance of unthriftiness and apparently diseased state, 
being believed to be suffering from an enlarged naevus. 
My informant writes, that the bullock was an enormous 
feeder, requiring double the quantity of provender compared 
to the others in the yard; but was, nevertheless, an un¬ 
thrifty beast —“ a bad doer”—and had been so for some 
time. 
When alive , there was no swelling to be seen externally 
over the region of the loins, nor was the urine noticed to be 
unusual in colour or quantity; although most likely it might 
have been so, and have escaped observation. 
After death , upon opening the abdomen, the tumour sent 
to me was discovered, closely attached to the spinal column, 
“ the right kidney adhering to it, or rather the tumour to
