EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES. 
placed immediately above the bladder, they were resting 
a-ainst the bladder a little above the urethra. Their excretory 
ducts, after a course through the thickness of the vaginal wall, 
opened upon the urethral crest. 
Enucleation of the Right Rye of a Dog. As a lesult 
of a deep wound of the cornea with total ophthalmia of the 
o-lobe, a hunting dog was operated upon by enucleation of the 
eye. A circular incision was made around the conjunctiva, the 
rio-ht, lateral and oblique muscles were divided, then the pos¬ 
terior and the optic nerve. There was no anaesthetic used. The 
haemostasis was made by plugging. Dressings of iodoform 
brought on cicatrization in twelve days. The peculiarity in 
this case was that no division of the eyelids or of the temporal 
cantlii were necessary to remove the globe.— [This division has 
already been considered unnecessary by many surgeons.— Ed.J

Gastrophieus Equi and Perroncito Method. -By the 
presence of oestri at the margin of the anus after defecation, the 
diagnosis was made. The horse that had them had shown re¬ 
cently a great state of nervousness; in the stable he rubbed Ins 
tail against the wall and showed great pain at the time of defe¬ 
cation. The treatment adopted was that of Professor Perron¬ 
cito. The day before, little hay, half ration of oats ; in the 
evening, thin white gruel to drink. The day of the treatment, 
at 6 a.m., before eating, he received two capsules of 5 grammes 
each of sulfur of carbone ; at 8 A.M., two others ; at 10 a.m., two 
more ; at 12 he had half ration of oats ; at 3 p.m., another, and 
then the ordinary regimen was resumed. The third day he had 
400 orammes of castor oil. The purgative effect was excellent, 
and as to that of sulfur of carbone as a cure, it was simply mar¬ 
vellous.—( Giornale di Med. Vet.) 
Nasae Poeypus Simulating Glanders in a Horse. 
This animal had been discharging on the right side for eight 
months. In the discharge were seen many micro-organisms, 
some of which looked like those of glanders. Cultures on 
potatoes, after two days, gave colonies, among which some had 
the characteristic coloration of those of the bacillus mallei. 
Three tests of mallein gave only a slight increase of temperature, 
and local reaction, which excluded the idea of glanders. The 
animal was destroyed. At the post-mortem,. 110 glanderous 
lesions were found anywhere, but in the right sinus there was a 
large mass looking like condensed mucous, which under t le 
microscope showed to be composed of round cells, imbedc e
