Dr. Winchester reported a case of lameness in the stifle joint. 
The joint was much swollen and nodular to the feel; it has been 
more or less enlarged for upward of a year. He opened it and 
extracted a number of tumors (8) which had the appearance of 
fibrous tissue ; made a good recovery. 
Dr. Labau reported a case of traumalic pleurisy in a mare in
