what fceces I could reach. Could find none in abdominal or 
pelvic cavity. This last I consider strange.

INVAGINATED SEQUESTRUM OF THE SCAPULA IN A HORSE. 
By Messes. Bakrier and Gervais. 
The subject of this report is an uncommon lesion, result¬ 
ing from a kick received on the anterior border of the scapula, 
a short distance above the scapulo-humeral joint. The injury 
was not apparently of a serious character, the cutaneous 
wound being very small and the lameness but trifling, and 
nothing appearing to cause any suspicion that the matter was 
anything beyond a slight ordinary hurt. But notwithstand

dition of the case, the animal,- a few days later, became very 
lame and the shoulder badly swollen, with a discharge from 
the wound of a reddish, bloody and suppurative matter, 
which escaped from a fistulous tract, which, on being probed, 
proved to extend but a very short distance down to the antea 
spinatus muscle. There was nothing to indicate a diseased 
condition of the scapula, and yet the excessive pain, the hard 
and warm swelling of the region, and the aspect and nature 
of the fistulous wound all pointed to the suggestion of a frac¬ 
ture of this flat bone. 
The animal was consequently placed in slings, and an ap¬ 
plication of blister and mercurial ointment applied over the

and constitutional disturbances soon manifested themselves. 
He lost his appetite, and refused to rest on the slings, and in
