ber. After my arrival I made an examination and found the 
head turned over the shoulder. After some difficulty I placed 
it in position for normal presentation and delivered it with 
some exertion. It still being alive, minus a portion of its 
lower jaw, we killed it immediately. 
I should like to know if this is not an unprecedented occur¬ 
rence. If any readers of the Review can cite any parallel 
cases would be pleased to hear from them.

Comminuted Fracture of the Peuvis. —This case, re¬ 
corded by Mr. Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, in the Recueil de Mede- 
cine Vete^dnaire^ is that of a mule which after slipping on one 
hind leg while at work, was found a little lame in the evening. 
The next day the same accident occurred and she fell with the 
left hind leg carried in excessive abduction. She was unable 
to get up, and while she attempted to do so both hind legs were 
very much abducted. The animal was in great pain. A diag¬

rim of left cotyloid cavity ; transversal section of the pubic 
symphysis between the two obturator foramen ; double and sym¬ 
metrical fracture of the pubis ; double and symmetrical fracture 
of the ischium under the cotyloid angles, on a level with the 
narrow portion of the bone. The sacrum and the ilium were 
intact. 
Secondary Glaucoma in a Dog—Congenital Cata¬

Fromayet^ M. D.^ and E. Nicolas^ V. M .^.—The family history 
shows that the father had been blind at one time, but afterwards 
recovered his sight. Up to three months old, the subject of this 
report had good sight; then it began to fail and now he is to¬ 
tally blind. In the right eye, the cornea is opaque, in the left 
it is transparent above, but below presents a round opacity, be¬

iris and the cornea. The dog suffers with glaucoma following 
anterior dislocation of the lens. The brother of the dog pre¬ 
sented the same cause of blindness at the same age (three
