Dermatol in Auricular Catarrh. —This astringent 
antiseptic, which lenders such services in the treatment of 
wounds of bad nature, has been much used in cutaneous 
diseases of dogs, such as eczema, erythema, and Prof. Marconi 
has used it with great success in auricular catarrh, as follows : 
After thoroughly washing twice a day with a solution of 
sublimate i to 1000 or i to 4000, ointments with dermatol 
are very advantageous, such as : Dermatol 1 part, vaseline 7, 
lanoline 2. Or again : Dermatol 3 parts, oxide of zinc 2, vase¬ 
line 30. A coating gelatine has also been prepared with 
dermatol, 1 part, oxide of zinc 1, gelatine, glycerine, distilled 
water of each 6 parts.— [Riforma Velerinaria.') 
Malleine for the Diagnosis of Glanders. [Dr. Borella 
Alete\. —The author relates his observations on 9 horses which 
had cohabited with another which having died with colic was 
at post-mortem found presenting lesions of glanders. The 
temperature of these horses was taken for twenty days previous 
to being injected and fouud to vary in average between 37.1 
and 38.5. The temperature rose in all the horses, and in 
various quantity : one only -J- of a degree, five between 1.3 and 
1.8 ; in the three others it rose 2°, 2.3 0 , 2.6°. The three w r ere 
condemned and the other five considered as suspicious. They 
were killed. Eight presented very suspicious lesions in way of 
formation, one only had pulmonary tubercles.—( Clinica Veterini) 
Tuberculosis in Pheasants [Dr. Carlo Baldi\. —Sev¬ 
eral of these birds were brought dead to the veterinary clinic 
of Perugia to be examined. They came from a large property 
where the mortality had been quite extensive of late. At the 
post-mortem the liver was generally found much enlarged, 
with nodules of various dimensions, some of which contained a 
certain quantity of caseous substance. The microscopic exami¬ 
nation of these nodules revealed the presence of numerous 
bacilli of aviary tuberculosis. The treatment recommended by 
the author to control the infection was essentially prophylactic, 
as much isolation as possible, prevent the large gathering of 
birds, and heavy rich feeding.—( Clinica Veterm.) 
Larvae of CEstrus in the Perineum of a Dog [Dr. 
Carlo Baldi\ . —A very handsome hunting dog presented great 
difficulty in defecation. On examining him he was found hav¬ 
ing a painful tumor on the perineal region with two suppurating 
points. The tumor was opened and a small quantity of serum 
let out, but no pus. With a small forceps twenty larvae of cestri 
were removed from the cavity, which was coated internally with
