the lymphomata or lympho-sarcomata. They are round, fungous, 
or spongy tumors, covered by apparently normal mucous mem¬ 
brane. There are sometimes several in this situation. They 
present the same features, histologically, as the nodules in the 
tongue. Hitherto they have only been found in the ox. Jolme 
describes one of these polypi obtained from the fauces of an ox, 
as about the si2e of a fist, round, fungous, and soft, covered by 
normal mucous membrane, rising from the right side of the cavity, 
a short distance behind the tonsil. On section, it showed five iso¬ 
lated, round, and generally fine spongy nodules, the size of a wal¬ 
nut. All of these contained conglomerated masses of the fungus. 
The symptoms are generally difficulty in deglutition, and even 
in respiration, with cough, when the tumor is near the laryngeal 
opening. These tumors may also be the indirect cause of bron¬ 
cho-pneumonia, through their diverting the food into the air- 
passages. As has been said, tumors and abscesses are rather 
common in this cavity in the ox tribe. 
Actinomylcosis of the Nasal Chambers. 
The only cases on record, so far as I can ascertain, are those 
described by Mr. James, and referred to at the commencement of 
this paper. 
Actinomylcosis of the Larynx. 
Similar tumors to those observed in the faucus, are found in 
the region of the epiglottis and larynx. They are spongy in 
structure, and the characteristic nodules and Actinomycetes tufts 
are contained in the fibrous meshes of their structure. In the 
region of the larynx, these formations cause more or less disturb¬ 
ance and difficulty in respiration.

In answer to a telegram to investigate a disease that was raging 
in a herd of cattle, I went to Table Hock on Friday, February

The herd of one hundred and nineteen consisted mostly of two
