A Remarkable Case. —Under this heading Mr. C. A. Pow¬ 
ell, M. R. C. V. S., records the case of a mare which in 1893 was 
supposed to be about foaling. She did not that day, nor for a 
long time afterwards. She was put to work and never showed 
signs of sickness or of pregnancy again until September, 1898, 
when she was taken with an attack of colic and died.. At the 
post-mortem it was found that the “ womb was shrivelled up 
and the foal (a fully developed one, weighing about a hundred¬ 
weight) laid up close to the stomach, the hind part touching the 
diaphragm, its hind and fore legs doubled beneath it, with its 
head lying on its chest between the forelegs. It was surrounded 
by its membranes, which were intact and easily separated from 
it. The foal was well preserved, its hairs being as tight as in 
life; its flesh was firm and on being cut rather yellow in color 
and there was not the least appearance of either putrefaction or 
mummification.”— [Vel. Record^ 
Melanotic Tumor in a Cow \^By /. Yoimg.M.R.C.VS^. 
—A Jersey cow had a tumor growing on the right flank, situ¬ 
ated about four inches below the ilium, and when the cow was 
milked it used to rest on the head of the person milking. ^ It did 
not otherwise interfere with general health. Its extraction was 
decided upon and done partly with the ecrasetir and partly with 
clam and sharp red-hot iron. After treatment, antiseptic dressings. 
The tumor was almost circular, its circumference measured 18 
' inches and weighed nearly four pounds. It was a pigmented, 
fibrous tumor or melanotic fibroma.— (Vet. Journ?) 
Tuberculous Testicle in a Bull \^By A. S. Laurie, 
■ M.R.C.V.Si\. —At first examination the animal had been sus- 
i pected of suffering with orchitis and received the treatment in- 
j dicated. Notwithstanding saline aperient and anodyne lini- 
i ment, the animal grew worse, the testicle enlarged, and the 
i general condition suffered. Castration was performed with 
- difficulty on the diseased side on account of adhesion and of the 
size of the organ. The healthy testicle was removed without 
trouble. The animal made a fast recovery and at once 
j began to improve. He will soon be fit for the butcher. The 
jjdiseased testicle weighed four pounds. Microscopic examina- 
fition revealed its tuberculous nature.— (Vet. Journi)
