The author then mentions two cases observed by himself, 
which are of interest on account of the symptoms, and also of 
the seat of the growth. The first was a cholestatoma of the 
size of a goose-egg, on the choroid plexus, in the left venticle. 
The second was of the size of a pigeon’s egg, and wms situated 
in the third ventricle of the brain. This last, according to 
Eckardt, is the unique mention of cholesteatoma, in the third 
ventricle.— Wochens. fur Thicrli und Vicliz .

FOLLICULAR CONJUNCTIVITIS IN DOGS. 
By Prof Frohner. 
According to the author, the dog is of all domestic animals 
the one most affected with diseases of the eye, follicular con¬ 
junctivitis in particular. This affection differs from other 
diseases of the conjunctiva—catarrhal, purulent or phlyctenu- 
lous—by its seat, being generally localized on the internal 
surface of the membrana nictitans. 
It can be discovered by pulling it outwards, when it is 
seen covered with numerous dark colored, oval nodosities 
of the size of millet seeds, at first very small and in small 
numbers, but soon extending and increasing in size. Under 
the microscope they appear to be composed of a mass of 
lymphoid cells, and of a stroma. This affection may be com¬ 
plicated with catarrhal conjunctivitis, entropion, etc., etc.
