attempted to establish bv his researches in the development 
of the spleen. 
Lymphoid tubercles have quite a peculiar aspect. They 
are seen on the surface of the lung, in the form of a regularly 
rounded, well defined nodule of a slightly yellowish trans¬ 
lucent tint, or of an opaque rose color ; the surface, some¬ 
what convex, is raised up by the pleura ; but the surrounding 
pulmonary tissue is not altered. On section a tissue is found 
of a fleshy consistency, very finely granular and perfectly 
homogenous throughout, at least in the earlier periods of evo¬ 
lution. 
These forms seem to exist in numerous cases of glanders 
in the horse, though but few of them are found in any single 
subject. In one patient which had powerfully reacted to 
malleine, but two processes of this nature were encountered, 
and no other lesion of the lung or of the mucous membrane 
could be detected. A second case was obtained by the ex¬ 
amination of a portion of a lung, taken from an animal also de¬ 
stroyed after the test of malleine. A third example was 
taken from a lung presenting numerous glanders tubercles of 
different ages, one single nodule presenting the characteris- 
. tics mentioned ; but those were sufficiently perfect to permit 
the histologic form of the lesion to be described in advance.

CASTRATION OF CRYPTORCHIDS.

CONTENTION OF THE ANIMAL FOR OPERATION. 
Veterinarians who castrate cryptorchids hold various 
opinions as to what is the best mode of restraining the patient 
during this operation. Mr. Degive says : 
“To operate easily by the inguinal method, the animal 
must be thrown on his back, with all four legs flexed against 
the trunk and fixed by lateral bipeds (one anterior and one 
posterior, of the same side) on a level, and back of the elbow
