Dr. Smith, in the Veterinary Review of October, 1895, 
reports a case in a mnle, the calculus measuring' two inches in 
length and three-fourths of an inch in diameter, very rough and 
of cylinder-like appearance. 
Dr. Britton, in the Veterinary Review of the same date, 
reports a case in a 13-year-old gelding, the calculus weighing 
6 ounces. 
Dr. Nesbitt, in the Veterinary Review, in 1893, reports 
a case of cystic calculi in the bitch, the calculi numbered i94) 
varying in size from a pin’s head to a buckshot.

a case in a dog, the patient passing 29 small calculi. 
Mr. Blaine reports a case in a Newfoundland dog, in which 
there were 40 or 50 calculi in the bladder. 
I have observed three cases of renal calculi ; one in cattle 
and two in swine. 
Case I .—A steer; weight 1400 pounds ; color, red ; age, 
four years. The kidney weighed 3^2 pounds; an abnormal 
deposit of fat surrounded it, which weighed about 50 pounds. 
Several calculi were found. They were irregular in shape, the 
largest being the size of a pea. 
Case 11 .—A barrow, weighing 400 pounds, color black, and 
in good health ; in the left kidney 40 calculi were observed in 
the uriniferous tubes, which were greatly distended. The cal¬ 
culi were of irregular shape, and varied in size from a pin’s head 
to a large-sized wheat grain. 
Case III .—A sow, weighing 300 pounds,’and in a healthy 
condition ; one calculus, which measured three-fourths of an 
inch in its greatest diameter and one-fourth of an inch in thick¬ 
ness, was found in the pelvis of the kidney. 
Calculi in the pancreas and pancreatic duct have been re¬ 
ported. They are usually milk-white in color and small in size. 
Inspissated bile is occasionally found in the gall bladder of 
the hog, but is not common in cattle and sheep. I have ob¬ 
served several cases in the gall bladder of swine, in some of 
them the mass completely filled the gall bladder and was waxy
