Association. It is a plain statement of the situation as it now 
stands, and the profession at large owe much to Dr. O’Shea and 
his colleagues for the very great amount of hard work which 
they have performed for the good of all. Their efforts will be 
greatly assisted if the suggestion to employ counsel permanently 
located at Albany to guard veterinary interests is favorably 
acted upon.

THE TUMORS OF THE SINUSES AND OF THE SU 
PERIOR MAXILLARY BONE. 
By Prof. P. J. Cadiot, Alfort, France. 
Lately, we have seen at our clinics a patient suffering with 
a tumor of the bones of the face, with which I declined to inter¬ 
fere. I wish to explain the motives of my abstention and for a 
few moments say some words on the subject of the neoplasms 
of the sinuses, of which we will find but a very incomplete 
study in our classical works. 
Though less frequent than catarrhal inflammation of the 
mucous membrane, neoplasms of the sinuses are not rare. I ha\ e 
personally collected a number of them, different as they were in 
the nature of their lesions and of their severity. In sinuses of 
horses have been found cysts , myxomas, fibrous polypi , sarcomas , 
epitheliomas. Let me mention to you a few clinical facts which 
will give you an idea of the symptomatology, progress, and se¬ 
riousness of these tumors ; and which will show you to what ex¬ 
tent operating interference is justified. 
Let us see the cysts first: 
In 1891, a Percheron horse, seven years old, was brought to
