Pus in the Antrum in Dog [Prof. F. Hobday, F. R. C. V. 
S., and Guy Sutton, F. R. C, V. S .].—For a long time a York¬ 
shire terrier had a discharge on the right cheek, just under the 
eye. Treated, it stopped and returned again. Pus in the antrum 
was diagnosed, the mouth examined and the last molar was found 
loose. It was extracted. A probe then passed freely from the 
fistulous opening on the cheek into the mouth. Recovery fol¬ 
lowed. As a rule it is the last molar hut one which is found the 
cause of similar trouble, in this case it was the last—a rather 
unusual anatomical interesting condition, not to be forgotten.—

An Enormous Chondroma of the Right Fore Limb of a 
Cat [Prof. G. H. Wooldridge , F. R. C. V. S .].—This patient 
had a growth four or five times as big as a man’s fist between 
the humerus, scapula and chest wall. The lower part of the leg 
is paralyzed. No treatment was possible and the cat was allowed 
to die with only palliative treatment. Post-mortem, the foreleg 
was easily taken off from the body. The mass of the tumor ap¬ 
peared cartilaginous with some spicules of bones. It weighed 
four pounds, nearly as much as the rest of the body of the cat. 
The humerus had extensive periostitis with deposits round the 
upper extremity of the bone and down the anterior face of the 
shaft, similar condition was found on the upper halves of the 
radius and ulna, including the oleocranon process. The scapula 
was also diseased. All the articular surfaces were normal.—

Demodex Bovis [S. N. Mitter, G. V. C. Beng.]. — A peculiar 
kind of fever among cattle was reported and the author delegated 
to investigate. The disease manifested amongst a number of sick 
animals, was characterized by nodules about the size of a pea, 
spread well over the body. The temperature run for three or four 
days before this appearance up to 102 degrees and 103 degrees 
F. The skin was inflamed and surrounded by hemorrhagic zone. 
The nodules became purulent and the examination of the pus re¬ 
vealed the presence of a large number of demodex in various 
phases of development. In this outland 75 per cent, of the cattle 
were affected. No fatal cases occurred. Locally the disease in
