Third Experiment .—A horse twenty years old, neuroto- 
mised on the 26th March, 1852, in the left fore leg. Sen¬ 
sation continued in the limb the whole time, although the 
low operation was also performed. The animal died thirty- 
three days after the operation. On examination of the limb 
some small nervous fibres were found passing to the foot 
from the trunk of the nerve above the sections. Only two 
measurements were taken at the anterior part of the hoof,— 
one before the operation, the other soon after death.
