appearance of a lardaceous tumor, of a yellow-whitish color, with 
spots here and there much resembling a lymphatic gland. Ex¬ 
amined by Dr. T. A. Steurer, lecturer on Surgical Pathology at 
the College, he reported it to be a small spindle-celled sarcoma, 
which, he said, probably originated from the lymphatic glands of 
that region. 
Throughout the entire treatment the animal showed no re¬ 
active fever ; his pulse and temperature remained normal, and liis 
appetite was unimpaired.

By the Same. 
This case is to a great extent a repetition of the one preceding. 
The subject was a black stallion, four years old. The growth 
was very similar to that of the previous case, though smaller. It 
had, also, numerous fistulous tracts, some of which seemed to 
run in the direction of the root of the third molar tooth. The 
growth, however, was hard, and there was an escape of pus 
through the fistulous tracts. It was not painful, and according to 
the report of the owner, had been present about three months. 
It had at various times been poulticed, blistered and tapped, but 
without producing any change. It was not very large, was elor 
gated in shape, and seemed neither to grow nor diminish under 
any treatment. 
On examination by the mouth, the third lower molar tooth of 
the right side was found to be very small and atrophied. It 
seemed diseased, and at first it was suspected that the two diseased 
processes might be connected, and that the removal of the tumor 
would have to be followed by the extraction of the tooth. This, 
however, did not prove to be the case, as when the tumor was re¬ 
moved no connection with the tooth could be discovered. 
On the 14th of May, two days after admission, the animal 
being prepared and chloralized, was thrown, and the operation 
conducted in the same manner as in the first case: an incision 
upon the length of the tumor; dissection of the skin ; isolation
