LEUCOCYTHiE MIA IN THE EQUIDJE. 
On the 24th of October there appeared in the intermaxil¬ 
lary space of a ten-year-old horse in good condition a swelling 
of the glands the size of one’s thumb ; other symptoms of 
disease absent. On the 21st of November swellings of a more 
painful character were apparent along the cervical region ; at 
the same time a slight enlargement of the thyroid glands was 
remarked, and tumors appeared in various locations known to 
be richly supplied with lymphatic glands. Examinations of 
the blood revealed an increase in the proportion of white cor¬ 
puscles to 1 in 70. The diagnosis was accordingly made as 
leucocythaenia, and the animal destroyed. 
Before this was carried out, however, the swellings of the 
intermaxillary glands had abated, but the general condition 
continued to deteriorate. Upon post-mortem examination, 
noted enlargements were detected in the lymphatic glands of 
the mesentery, as well as the solitary follicles of the intes¬ 
tine. The bronchial glands, and also those of the neck, shoul¬ 
der, axilla and inguinal regions, varied in size from a walnut 
to a hen’s egg, and were medium hard. 
Upon the cut surfaces of the tumor there exuded a thick, 
white fluid. Spleen and liver much hypertrophied; the 
former, weighing sixteen pounds, measured 8.1 cm. in length, 
35 cm. in breath, and 10 cm. in thickness ; color grayish-blue, 
hard and brittle, dry and coarse. Malpighian corpuscles 
and interstitial tissue enlarged. Liver hard, brittle and 
opaque, of grayish-yellow color, and weighing twenty-five 
pounds. Remaining organs healthy. Nodules absent in the 
spleen, liver and lungs. No pathological alteration in the 
marrow.— Ztschr.f. Vet. K. 3, 1. 
INFECTIOUS MAMMITIS IN BOVIDiE. 
On November 10th, ten days before the appearance of an 
epizootic of foot and mouth disease, seven cows on a certain 
farm were affected with an apparently infectious inflammation 
of the mammary glands, whose intensity was of so severe a
