pressed by the tumour, flattened, and pushed upwards. The 
iliac vein was obliterated. The corresponding one on the 
right, on the contrary, was permeable. In the vicinity of the 
right sacro-iliac articulation was found a ball of a large size, 
lying nearly in contact with the iliac artery. It was enveloped 
in a dense cellular tissue, by which it was attached to the 
surrounding parts. As to the means by which the circula¬ 
tion was carried on, the lumbar arteries were very much en¬ 
larged, and the ilio-lumbar vein was of a considerable size. 
The posterior aorta presented nothing abnormal. The heart 
was of the natural size, and without any valvular altera¬ 
tion. The lungs were emphysematous and bloodless, but 
otherwise healthy. The duodenum and jejunum were filled 
and distended by fibrinous clots, which were discoloured and 
formed in concentric layers. From this a sort of appendage 
extended to and penetrated into the opening of the tumour, 
which established the communication between the aneurism 
and the intestines. The ilium and the larger intestines were 
also filled with a dark fluid, evidently altered blood. The 
stomach contained a quantity of blood, of a less dark colour. 
The muscles of the leg presented no alteration. 
M. Bouley Jeune was the first veterinary surgeon who 
drew the attention of the profession, in 1831, to intermittent 
lameness in the horse, as produced by the obliteration of 
the arteries, ( e Arch. Gener . cle Medecine / t. xxvii, p. 425, 
1831). 
M. Goubaux afterwards treated the subject more fully 
in a memoir on “ Paralysis, caused by the obliteration of 
the Posterior Aorta in the Horse” ( c Recueil? t. xxiii, p. 578, 
1846).
