REMARKABLE TEMPERATURE IN A HOLSTEIN BULL-CALF. 407 
The animal was operated upon standing up. The modes of 
restraint were a blindfold and twitch, with the hind extremities 
hobbled. 
Five days after the operation, the mare being worked during 
the interval, the tumor had so nearly sloughed that it was re¬ 
moved with slight tortion. The part below the ligature when grasp¬ 
ed by the forceps, evinced no pain and showed a round white patch 
surrounded by healthy tissue. This was dissected away to hasten 
the case alon^. 
The after treatment consisted in cleanliness with carbolic acid 
solution, and a dressing powder of carbo animalis containing 
a mild astringent. The part healed kindly in two weeks, no 
trace of the operation was visible, and the clitoris was absent. 
The operation was performed in the early part of May of the 
present year, and about ten days ago the animal was carefully ex¬ 
amined and no appearance of a return of the growth was de¬ 
tected. 
The tumor was examined by a microscopist and his report was 
that the examination was not so satisfactory as desired, for the 
reason that it had shrunk and dried so much during ligation, but 
he considered it an epithelial cancer of the mulberry variety. He 
also noted erectile tissue throughout. The very satisfactory use 
of the elastic ligature in this case is worth} 7 of note, and its spe¬ 
cial adaptation in similar cases is highly recommended. 
Another point of interest, and by no means common, was the 
erection of the tumor when any stimulant was applied.

BY INJURY. 
BY C. C. McLean, Y. S., (Ontario.) 
On the morning of August 27th, a Holstein bull, aged five 
months and three weeks, showed the following symptoms. There
