REPORTS OF CASES.

(about 18 months), and his urgent request for its removal, and 
the results, follow in a short succession of time. 
On cutting down upon the contents I found them to be con¬ 
tained in two small sacs or envelopes, communicating with each 
other, and on cutting through this covering found each to con¬ 
tain an elongated roll of hair, perfectly white, each roll about 
the length of three inches by one inch in diameter. There was 
also a small quantity of fluid, among which floated vftiite granu¬ 
lar particles, also bleached in appearance, but did not have the 
appearance of pigment or broken down structures. 
I removed the sacs and contents and the parts readily healed, 
and the last time I saw the owner and patient there was nothing 
to show to a casual observer any sign of there having been any 
difference in either side of the neck. 
The patient was a small bay pony, without any white 
markings, and coming four years old. 
I could not learn any history as to this having been con¬ 
genital, as she had been obtained of a trader and her birthplace 
unknown. 
COMPLETE PERFORATION OF NASAL SEPTUM BY GLANDERS. 
ByJ. P. Foster, V. S., State Veterinarian, Selby, South Dakota. 
I send you under separate cover a photo of a specimen, 
taken from a horse, or rather a two-year-old colt, I destroyed, 
that was affected 
with glanders. 
You will notice 
the complete per¬ 
foration of the 
nasal septum, 
caused by the ul- 
ceration. Al¬ 
though all the 
other symptoms 
of glanders were 
present in this 
colt, as well as in 
nine other head 
on the same farm, 
I applied the mallein test to the entire lot, and this colt’s tem¬ 
perature rose from a preliminary temperature of about 100.2° to 
106.5 0 , and hovered around that point for nearly twenty-four 
hours*
