up to date in their respective subjects, and forming a collection 
of the very highest value to the student and investigator m 
comparative medicine and allied subjects.. Taken in connec¬ 
tion with the large accumulation of books in the same fields, in 
the university library, this makes an unexcelled field for study 
and research, and it is confidently believed that the constant 
additions of the best modern publications will keep the library 
at all times up to date, as an unique centre of contemporary 
knowledge and achievement. 
Hereditary Lameness. —Mr. F. R. Whipple, McKulip 
Colleo-e, class of 1902, writes as follows of an interesting cir¬ 
cumstance : “ During the summer of 1899 a Mr. Ingram bought 
a fine looking six-year-old sorrel mare, which was very stiff. 
He thought she had been foundered, but as he wanted her for 
breeding purposes only, paid no attention to its stiffness. In 
April, 1900, she gave birth to a fine looking horse colt, which 
did well until some time in the fall, when it became affected 111 
the stifles. I was consulted about the mare, and found she 
was suffering from navicular trouble, and told the owner that 
unnerving would be the only thing that would do her any good. 
On June 2 I operated, and to-day she goes as sound as any horse 
could. I have since found out that the party who raised her 
said she had given birth to one colt while he owned her, which 
became affected when about four months old, and was killed 
later ; also, that the mare was affected this way before she was 
three’ years old. If the mare had navicular trouble, what was 
the trouble with the two colts ? ”
