cyst and cartilage formation which have been found in several 
nymphomaniac mares. 
The animals spayed at the college clinic have not as a rule 
suffered any inconvenience, no loss of appetite, no rise of tem- 
peratnre, no emaciation or falling off in condition. Of the 
whole number operated upon, mostly by the students, only one 
fatality has occurred, that by wounding the iliac artery, the 
animal dying in the stocks. In one case only had we any seri¬ 
ous trouble, and this came from an abscess of the rectum, which 
may have been from a wound made by the operator, or might 
have had a previous existence. The animal made a good recov¬ 
ery after giving enemata daily conjoined with antiseptics. 
Of the cases brought to the clinics of the New York State 
Veterinary College, I will give the data as to reasons for oper¬ 
ating, any conjoined operation, date of spaying and results.
