in which the sow, the three animals which had resisted the 
first inoculation, and four other subjects received another in¬ 
jection of rabid solution, in the anterior chamber of the eye. 
Of these, all died with rabies except one dog and the sow 
which had resisted the inoculation. 
Conclusion: First, this sow was certainly rabid. Second, 
this disease, in swine at least, is susceptible to spontaneous re¬ 
covery .—Revue Veter in. 
ACCIDENTAL INOCULATION OP ACTINOMYCOSIS IN A HORSE. 
By Professor E. Perronoito. 
In July, 1881, a horse received a wound on the anterior 
part of the stifle joint of the left leg, with section of the mus¬ 
cular fibres, solution of the skin, and bruise of all the sur¬ 
rounding parts. During the treatment which his injuries re¬ 
quired, the horse was kept in a stable occupied by cattle. 
After forty days the wound was closed, leaving but a hard, 
subcutaneous swelling, and slightly deforming the leg. The 
tumor was treated by the application of a few points of the 
actual cautery, but remained in the same condition for some 
time. But subsequently it began to grow, and notwithstand¬ 
ing several attempts to check its development, continued to 
increase. At length, supposing that the trouble might be 
due to a deep seated suppuration, the animal was thrown in 
order to be operated on for the escape of the suspected gath¬ 
ering. The appearance of the tumor, however, was such, 
that believing it to be of a sarcomatous nature, its entire dis¬ 
section was performed. The microscopic examination made 
by the author showed a large number of actinomycosis tufts. 
The patient was ultimately destroyed.— Ibid. 
TIBIO-TARSAL DISLOCATION. 
By Mr. Gavard. 
The interest attaching to this report arises largely from the 
rarity of cases of the nature referred to. The case was 
caused by a collision between two horse railroad cars, in 
which one horse was thrown, remaining on the ground unable
