Canine Pathology \^By Mr. E. Lienaiix\. —i. Trau¬ 
matic Neurosis Shnulatmg Gejieral Chorea iu a Dog. —This 
clinical note refers to a four-year-old bnll-dog, which had an 
abscess the size of a large nut on the left jugular groove. This 
was opened and antiseptic treatment preseribed. Two days 
later the patient had beeome exeeedingly nervous, howling, try¬ 
ing to conceal himself under the furniture of the room where he 
was. On the fifth day all the signs of a general chorea were 
well manifested, and on account of its severity a doubtful prog¬ 
nosis was given of its recovery. A treatment with basis of 
bromides was prescribed, but could scarcely be applied on ac¬ 
count of the aggravation of the symptoms when its administra¬ 
tion had to take place. At any rate, after twelve days the 
wound had entirely cicatrized and a week later the convulsions 
had disappeared. The animal, however, remained always very 
shy. 2. Softening and Teaj'ing of hitej'-vejdebral Menisci with 
Consecutive Myelitis .—The subject of this observation was a 
dog used for light draught, which of a sudden presented the fol¬ 
lowing symptoms : Spontaneous painful moans, difficulty in 
walking due to the stiffness of the fore legs. If the animal is 
made to stand and move, he goes off by short steps, with scarcely 
any flexion of the extremities; the dorsal face of the claws rubs 
the ground. Flexion of the knee is difficult to obtain. The 
neck is very stiff. Palpation and pressure of the fore legs are 
not painful. Appetite is still good. After a short time para¬ 
lysis of the hind legs occurs. The animal moves with his fore 
legs, when held up, and drags his hind feet after him. He re¬ 
mains in lateral decubitus, but yet eats, providing food is 
brought to his mouth. The temperature varies between 102 
and 104 degrees. The patellar reflex is lost on both sides. Def¬ 
ecation and micturation normal. After seven days of this con¬ 
dition the dog died, and at the post-mortem were found : In¬ 
filtration and abscess of the longus colli muscle, periostosis of 
the vertebro-costal articulations from the second to the eighth 
vertebrae, separation of the third and fourth dorsal vertebrae, and
