CEdema of the Glottis after Parturition [By M. 
Permssel ].—One night a cow calved without difficulty, and then 
suddenly began to roar. The noise took place at each expiration, 
and was heard at thirty feet from the animal. It was located in 
the crlottis and was detected in the whole length of the trachea 
and m the chest. During feeding, the roaring increased ; and 
seemed to subside when the animal laid down or walked. 1 he 
treatment consisted in friction of ammoniacal liniment, double 
strength, purgation with 600 grammes of sulphate of magnesia, 
followed by daily administration of diuretics. The roaring di¬ 
minished after 48 hours and disappeared on the fifth day. 
Dermoid Tumors of the Conjunctiva in a Young Calf 
T By M. A Bru] —A calf three days old presented a queer con¬ 
genital abnormality of both eyes. A fleshy growth, covered 
with hairs, was resting upon each ocular globe and was protrud- 
ino- between the eyelids. On the left side, where it was more 
developed than the right, it formed an elongated band running 
in the line of the pupil. Attached at the inner angle of the eye 
by somewhat loose connective tissue, it was attached in its midd e 
below the circumference of the cornea.. It ended suddenly to¬ 
wards the temporal angle by a little projection continued to t le 
' sclerotic. It was covered with fine short hairs, near the scler¬ 
otic, but in its middle the hairs were long and thick like those 
of the skin of the voting subject. On the right eye the tumor 
was smaller. It was rounded, also covered with hairs, and was 
implanted partly on the sclerotic, partly on the cornea. I he 
orowths were removed eight days apart and the patient recovered 
without complications towards the eye.— {Rev. Veter.) 
Two Spleens in a Dog [By M. Panels'] — It is by excep¬ 
tion that more than one spleen is found. This case presented 
two organs, of different size, but well formed. They were foun 
in a dog that died from rabies. One was of the normal size, the 
other three times smaller. Both were w T ell defined, and distmc 
from each other ; both were attached to the subluinbar region 
with the great omentum. Both irregularly falciform, resemb e 
each other by their form and their anatomical positions. Ihe 
point, somewhat rounded, was twisted upwards; the base, thick 
and wide, looked downwards. The relations with the other 
viscera were normal. Their structures were identical ; their 
color, their peritoneal envelope, their capsule, splenic pulp, mai-
