606 ANALYSIS OF CONTINENTAL JOURNALS. 
the leucocytes, no other alterations have been constantly 
met with. 
Conclusion. —First, the presence of bacteria having been 
ascertained in the fluids of men, and animals, affected with 
farcy and glanders, and this character being constant, it 
might be useful for the diagnosis of chronic glanders, which 
remains often undecided, to the great loss of horse owners. 
Relatively few in number, and but little developed 
in the blood, these infusoria are, on the contrary, very numerous 
and of great dimension in the vasculo-sanguineous glands, 
and in the pathological ulcerations. 
3. The bacteria are habitually accompanied by leuco¬ 
cytes, and in certain cases the white globules acquire nume¬ 
rically a great amount (one white globule to six red discs). 
4. No other microscopic alteration is constantly found 
in the blood. 
REGENERATION OE THE CRYSTALLINE LENS. 
By M. Millat. 
M. Millat establishes from experience : 
1. The incontestable fact of the regeneration of the crystal¬ 
line lens. 
2. This regeneration only takes place in the cavity of the 
capsule, and is more speedy, when, by the extraction, a great 
part of the cortical substance of the lens has been left, prin¬ 
cipally the equatorial part; it is more difficult when the 
animal is old and the lesions of the crystalloid body have been 
extensive. Inflammation of the iris and ciliary substance, 
far from being detrimental to the reproduction of the crystal¬ 
line lens, rather favours it, but general inflammation of the 
eye impedes it. 
3. The regeneration depends on the anterior capsule, and 
above all on the equatorial part, while the posterior capsule 
only contributes to the periphery. 
4. The regeneration takes place even when the extraction of 
the lens has been total. 
5. It begins generally at the end of the second week, is 
completed between the fifth and the twelfth month. 
6. The crystalline lenses thus obtained by M. Millat 
never attained the size of the normal lens ; they only attained 
one-half of the normal size. 
7. After a partial or total extraction there is in the cavity 
either a regenerated lens with all its anatomic elements, as 
an amorphous hyaline substance containing a number of
