At the lower third on the internal border and posterior face 
of the radius, there was crushing of the bone and loss of sub¬ 
stance, indicating the point at which the blow had been received. 
It seemed to indicate that the toe calk of the shoe alone had 
touched the limb, and all the force of the blow was concentrated 
at that point. From this point extending upward and outward, 
the ulna included, there was a complete, oblique and comminutive 
fracture of the entire body of the bone. 
About the middle of anterior face of radius, below the frac¬ 
ture, started a fissure which extended to the beginning of the me¬ 
dian groove of the inferior extremity of the bone, through which 
the anterior extensor of the metacarpus passes. From this point 
it extended squarely across to the internal border, then obliquely 
upward along the posterior face of the bone to the lowest point 
of the fracture, forming an irregular quadrilateral section, which 
was itself divided into two pieces for nearly its entire length. The 
upper edges were worn perfectly smooth, being kept in contact 
with the bone above by the contraction of the muscles. The pos¬ 
terior face of the inferior fragment of the bone presented two fis¬ 
sures, one starting from the limit of the fracture and external bor¬ 
der of radius, the other from the internal border, and both ter¬ 
minating at the tubercles on posterior face of radius.

DENTAL CYST ON THE RIGHT TEMPORAL REGION IN A FOUR- 
YEAR-OLD MARE. 
By Me. Ch. Moeot.

A four-year-old mare had a suppurating fistula-on the right 
temporal region, near the base of the ear. From the time she 
was two months old she had a purulpnt discharge at the bottom 
of the right concha. A counter opening had been made to allow 
the wound of the ear to close up, but it remained open, discharg¬ 
ing through the fistulous opening. A year after, another veter¬ 
inarian injected Yillate’s solution without better results. The 
animal, when visited, had on the right temporal region a fistulous 
opening,] from which oozed a white-yellowish fluid, thick and
