till the articulating surface of the head of the outer splint bone 
could be distinctly felt, also the lower surfaces of the magnum 
and trapejoides. 
Having determined the conditions present I clasped both 
hands around the joint, locked my fingers and pressed my palms 
forcibly on the laterel aspects of the joint. Immediately there 
was a snap and the animal extended the limb and took a few steps 
on it. 
I now constructed a sling and placed him in it. We made 
him as comfortable as we could and 1 gave orders to keep the in¬ 
flamed parts well irrigated with cold water. 
The animal has been kept on cut grass, is out of the sling and 
is apparently all right, but we will not allow him to run at large 
till we are confident he is strong. 
The colt is not of a loose conformation but has well knit joints 
and must have required a considerable force to have produced the 
lesion. 
This case was of interest to me, never having known of a lux¬ 
ation in this region. Should like to know if they do occur often.

LA NATURE YIYANTE DE LA CONTAGION. COUTAGIOSIT& DE LA 
TUBERCULOSE. 
By H. Bouley, Membre de L’institut. 
This magnificent work may be denominated a continuation of a 
former work published two years ago by Mr. Bouley, as a resume of 
his lectures on comparative pathology, delivered at the Museum 
of Natural History in Paris. This excellent work is composed 
in the elegant style which characterises all the writings of Mr. 
Bouley. It is divided into sixteen lectures, in which the author 
lays before his readers, not only the importance and the 
value of the results of experimental pathology, but princi¬ 
pally and specially the true nature of contagion —la nature 
vivante. In the course of his interesting pages the author 
ably illustrates the steps by which the epine irritante, the
