SUSPICIONS OF GLANDERS FROM THE PRESENCE OF A TUMOR 
OF THE SEPTUM NASI. 
By M. Urban. 
A horse presented the following symptoms : General con¬ 
dition quite good ; abundant discharge on the left side, sticky 
and bloody ; nasal opening covered with scabs ; left sub-max¬ 
illary gland enlarged, hard, lobulated, and not adherent. 
Though no chancre or cicatrix could be seen or felt, a diag¬ 
nosis of suspected glanders was made, and, by request of the 
owner, the animal was killed. A tumor was found on the 
superior third of the left nasal septum, brownish-red in color, 
of the size of one’s fist, and from which pressure caused the 
oozing of a reddish-brown liquid.— Woc/ir fur Tliicrh. and

UPON CEREBRAL TUMORS IN THE HORSE. 
By N. J. Eokardt. 
The author, cliincal teacher in the Berlin Veterinary 
School, reviews all the cerebral tumors of the horse. He 
speaks first of the cholesteatoma, and of the various opinions 
admitted as to its action on the choroid plexus. If Gurlt, 
Gerlach , and Bruckmuller admit in general that these tumors 
produce no bad effects on the functions of the brain, so long 
as they are not larger than a pigeon’s egg; others, such as 
Kohne and Dunker, have observed accidents, and inflamma¬ 
tions of the brain, as consecutive to their presence, even when 
very small. 
Eckardt then mentions a case of melanosis of the brain, 
published by lessen, in the Magazine von Gurlt und Hertwig: 
On opening the cranium of a horse which had died after a 
long sickness, Jessen found a melanotic tumor ten lines in di¬ 
ameter, situated outside of the dura mater, in the cavity of 
the left temporal bone.
