into the bronchia, connected to which was a large mass of 
diseased structure about the size of a child’s head, slightly 
flattened, and having its surface very irregular, but firm. 
The bulk of this mass was made up chiefly of enlarged lym¬ 
phatic glands, each of which, when cut into, presented, as 
near as I can describe, the following appearance:—In some 
parts they were of a light-grey colour, dotted over with dark- 
red and lightish-yellow spots, giving to the whole a peculiar 
mottled aspect. Although the outer surface was firm, yet 
the inner was- somewhat soft. The yellow points, when 
pressed between the finger and thumb, imparted the sensa¬ 
tion of earthy matter being present; which I think may be 
considered as evidence of the disease being tuberculous, and 
justifies the appellation I have given to the affection. 
It is to be regretted that we have not a more definite 
account of the condition of the glandular organs in this case. 
I think it very probable that the tumour noticed at the pyloric 
end of the stomach consisted of diseased mesenteric glands, 
and that the symptoms of abdominal pain, above alluded to, 
depended upon this enlargement mechanically interrupting 
the passage of the ingesta in its course along the alimentary 
canal. I further think that the effusion of serum into the 
thorax was partly caused by the diseased mass pressing upon 
the veins at the root of the lungs, thereby impeding the 
return of their contents to the heart, and partly also from 
the enlarged and congested veins of the tumour itself. 
In conclusion I would remark, that I do not think that 
scrofula is a very common affection in the horse; nor that 
this animal is so predisposed to it as many others. Never¬ 
theless, we meet occasionally with cases. Few., however, 
are recorded, and very little is said about this disease in 
veterinary literature.

At page 113 of the Veterinarian for 1860 there is a case 
of a collection of sabulous matter in the bladder of a 
horse, recorded by Mr. J. Glover, of Lewes. The bladder 
and its contents were sent to the Royal Veterinary College,
