for I have seen it in two colts, one aged 15 days, the other 
about 5 weeks, and among lambs, averaging from 5 to 6 
weeks, and placed under bad hygienic conditions.” The 
paper is to be continued. 
We summarise the excellent remarks of M. Lenglen, for 
on the morning when they first came under our notice we 
received from Mr. Nicholson Almond, M.R.C.V.S., the head 
of a calf, which seems to us to exhibit the lesions above 
described. This has been brought before the Veterinary 
Medical Association, and is at present under consideration. 
Tear-Round-worm {Filaria lachrymalis) as a cause of 
Inflammation of the Eye in a Cow, by A. Perdan, Govern¬ 
ment District Veterinary Surgeon. A cow was brought from 
one of the subdivisions of the District of Tschernembl, which, 
according to the statement of the owner, had for a long time 
been suffering from u weak eye.” He was right to a certain 
extent, since on the near side the lids were so much swollen 
as to obscure the eyeball. The inflamed lids having been 
separated after a great deal of trouble, a number of small 
white thread-like worms (ten millimetres in length), in con¬ 
stant eel-like movement, could be observed on the surface of 
the cornea opaca, and also that of the cornea pellucida. The 
internal structures of the eye were sound and exhibited no 
pathological changes. Since these worms were present in 
large numbers, and could not be conveniently removed by 
the forceps, an endeavour was made to destroy them by 
means of a weak collyrium of Lapis infernalis with tincture 
of opium; this seemed to be effectual. a How these worms 
came into the eye cannot be definitely ascertained; the 
owner thought they had been obtained from the fodder.”—

Paralysis of the (Esophagus of a Cow , by Dr. V. Ow.—The 
animal suffered from chronic tympany, considerable flow of 
saliva intermingled with mucus, and frequent vomition. 
Neither during life, nor after death, could any foreign body 
be found in the pharynx or gullet. Matters, liquid or solid, 
after ingestion were returned. The patient became much 
emaciated, and after death no satisfactory cause of the para¬ 
lysis could be determined.— Thierdrztliche Mitheilungen,

Yellow Fever in Horses and Bogs, by Dr. Beauville. This 
author has inserted a communication in the medical organ 
of Havanna, in w'hich he describes a sickness of horses and 
dogs, which is considered to be to a certain degree identical 
with the yellow fever of man. From the symptoms enume-
