clog, which weighed 22 lbs., was alive and well; he was unaware 
of any case where so many were passed in so short a time. 
Professor Pritchard confirmed this statement, having also 
seen the dog. 
Mr. Fleming also showed some ancient horse shoes. One ob¬ 
tained from York belonged to an early Eoman period, an undulat¬ 
ing border shoe, with a large cavity for a large headed nail, a curious 
thing being these are all of one size, 4x4, which served to 
prove the smallness of the horses. Other specimens were found 
deeply buried in Hendon, dating probably from the 13th or 14th 
century. Also another shoe, a barbarous one, possibly concave; 
he marvelled how it could have been used. He likewise exhibited 
a double-headed foal (head portion) where the middle right 
and left orbits were fused, as it were, but the eyes remained inde¬ 
pendent. Such monstrosities were common in the cow. The 
shoes were handed round and well examined, the rough-shaped 
shoe giving rise to some discussion. 
Mr. A. Charles had a curiosity to show, it being the penis of 
a whale. He believed there were only two others in the country, 
they being smaller, and deposited in the Eoyal College of Sur¬ 
geons. This measured six feet nine, and weighed, being dried 
well, between 10 and 11 lbs.; its age and history w T ere unknown, 
having been brought in by a sea captain; he had doubt of its 
genuineness, and should present it to the Eoyal College of 
Veterinary Surgeons. 
Mr. A. Broim showed the two fore feet of an aged pony, 
which had for five or more years suffered from navicular lame¬ 
ness and been worked the while, till it was destroyed from 
motives of humanity. The ossific matter was mingled with the 
fibrous flexor pedis tendon. In the fellow foot the disease had 
proceeded to ulceration. Considered the specimen unique. 
After the consideration of this specimen, as the evening was 
well advanced, it was agreed to hold over the President’s intended 
communication, and call another meeting the following week to 
receive it. The meeting then adjourned. 
Present 17 Fellows and 2 visitors.
