Ileo Cystic Fistula.— Department Veterinarian Heyne 
reports a cow manilesting general disturbance in health, con¬ 
tinued weakness, and finally a progressive diarrhoea, had died 
in a remarkably short while. The abduction revealed an ad¬ 
hesion about two inches from the ileo-cascal opening, be¬ 
tween the ileum and the bladder, at which point a communi¬ 
cation three centimeters in caliber had been established. 
The foramen was circumscribed by a tough fibro-cartila- 
ginous ring, the cut section of which was white, smooth and 
shiny. In the vicinity of the aperture the mucous mem¬ 
brane had become hypertrophied; the walls of the bladder 
here indicated a thickness of one and a half inches .—Berliner
