What I consider worth recording is the—in my opinion—re¬ 
markable rapidity nature displayed in repairing the injury in this 
case. The horse had to be literally carried from the ambulance 
to his stable, the foot knuckling completely over when trying to 
walk, and in five weeks was able to travel the length of the 
stables and back, with only once slightly tripping. The granula¬ 
tions were of course controlled by pressure, and cut down, when 
necessary, with a fifty per cent, solution of the chloride of zinc; 
the leg being kept straight with a heavy sole leather legging 
made to fit the leg from the foot to the elbow, over the dressing 
and bandages, and secured with other bandages ; the result is, 
that there is very little elevation of the location of injury and a 
pretty straight leg. Within six weeks the case was discharged as 
convalescent, with instructions to give three months perfect rest.

MANUAL OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OF THE DOMESTICATED 
QUADRUPEDS. By N. Hormasji Edalji Sukhia. 
A concise aberge of the osteology, syndesmology and myology 
of our domestic animals, condensed in a small volume of some 
250 pages, which the author, Demonstrator and Lecturer on Anat¬ 
omy at the Veterinary College of Bombay, has issued with the 
object of facilitating the studies of the younger students of anat¬ 
omy. Not ignoring the superiority and advantages that are pre¬ 
sented to the students of anatomy by such works as those of 
Steele, McFadyean, Fleming and Strangeway, Mr. Sukhia be¬ 
lieves that many of the difficulties that are encountered by the 
beginner will be overcome by a careful reading of his little Man¬ 
ual. It is undoubtedly a good work, which does credit to the 
ability of the author, containing an enormous amount of well 
collected information, which we believe will be most valuable to 
the beginner in this important branch of medical studies.
