OBITUARY. 
DE L’EXTERIEUR DU CHEYAL. (Second Part). 
By A. Goubaux and G. Barrier. 
This is the second part of an excellent work which has been 
recently published in Paris, and of which we make mere mention 
at present, in order to associate it with the above-named work 
of Mr. Clarke. In the second portion of “ Exterieur du Cheval,” 
the subject of horse’s teeth is extensively treated, with the 
omission, however, of the pathology and surgery; and to this, 
nearly two hundred large octavo pages are devoted. Of all 
works relating to the teeth and their uses in the determina¬ 
tion of the animal’s age, this is no doubt the most thorough, 
and the one that will always be consulted in this sometimes 
difficult part of the veterinarian’s calling. 
OBITUARY. 
The decease of Mr. Thuillier, one of the members of the 
late Pasteur Commission, in Egypt, on the 18th of September, is 
reported. One of the four savants who had bravely accepted the 
danger of exposure to a dreadful disease, in order to investigate 
its characteristics, this young man—who had already made his 
name famous by his association in the laboratory work of Mr. 
Pasteur—was attacked with cholera at a time when all danger of 
infection seemed to have passed and the work of the commission 
was finished, all connection with choleraic subjects having ceased 
for a period of two weeks. It is to Mr. Thuillier that it is due, 
through the discovery of the microbe of hog cholera, (vainly 
searched for by many investigators) and to his successful experi¬ 
ments in inoculation, that the disease is now successfully con¬ 
trolled. The other members of the commission, Messrs. Nouerd 
of Alfort, Strauss and Powe, have returned safety to Paris.
