On August 25th I was summoned to attend him for lame¬ 
ness. A thorough examination of the limb (the right for¬ 
ward) failed to reveal any cause for the same, and I again 
ordered him to my infirmary for treatment. On second exam¬ 
ination, after watching the animal for twenty-four hours, I 
diagnosed a paralysis of the entire limb, and suspected a cen¬ 
tral cause for the same. At the time the eye-pit was in good 
condition, but in the face of a good appetite, the animal had 
lost much flesh and was very sluggish in all his movements. 
He grew worse from day to day, when on the 10th of Sep¬ 
tember I obtained the owner’s consent for his destruction. 
Carefully removing his integuments in the neighborhood of 
the face and fore limbs, I failed to find anything. I ordered 
an attendant to boil out the head, body and fore limbs. This 
revealed the presence of a misshapen rifle bullet at the an¬ 
terior portion of the brain about the point of emergence of 
the optic nerves, firmly imbedded in the nerve and brain 
tissue.
