A DENTAL CYST AT THE BASE OF THE EAR. 
By E. C. Walker, V. S., Norway, Maine. 
During the month of Jnne, 1896, I was called by A. F. An¬ 
drews & Sons to examine a horse, one of a nice pair they had 
just purchased in the West, which seemed to me to be suffering 
from a fistula, the opening being near the butt of the ear. In 
operating for cure of the fistula I passed a director to ascertain 
the course of the fistula, aud found it passed under the ligaments 
of the ear and came in contact with a bony prominence, which I 
removed with the forceps and found, to my surprise, that it was 
what I called a tooth. I respectfully submit the tooth, or what 
you may be pleased to call it, for your examination and shall be 
pleased to read your opinion in the next issue of The Review. 
TThe specimen referred to above is that of the contents of a dental cys^ not a very 
uncommon condition to be found at that location. They are f ully described m Williams 
“ Veterinary Surgery,” page 430, edition of 1886 ; also, Hinebauch s “ Veterinary Den¬ 
tal Surgery ” page 124. They have been found in almost all portions of the body—the 
sinuses of the head, the temporal and frontal bones, base of the ear, intermaxillary space, 
the lumbar region, testicles, ovaries and near the kidneys.— Editor.] _
