connected with the Dresden veterinary school, a two days 
old pup not only failed to possess a caudal appendage com¬ 
plete or rudimentary, but also neglected to provide itself

body. In this animal the scrotum was wanting, but the pre¬ 
puce was unusually large.— Repert. d . Thier.

posed an emphysematous state of the pulmonary organs, and

times its normal dimensions, and weighed over sixty pounds. 
The same had ruptured, was of a greenish color, and re¬ 
sponded to the customary amyloid tests for degeneration in 
this organ. The abdominal cavity contained twenty quarts 
of fluid .—Anacker s Thier.
