rounded by fluid. I suggested an operation, and ten days after, 
the animal was brought to lnv place. I made an incision and 
found immediately under the skin a fibrous looking tumor, on 
cutting into which there exuded a dark colored fluid almost ap- 
pi caching to black. On enlarging the incision there appeared a 
substance which at first sight seemed like oakum. I introduced 
my finger into the sac and emptied it of its contents, which on 
close examination proved to be hair of a very fine texture, vary¬ 
ing from one to three and one-half inches in length, closely matted 
together, and about as much as would make a good sized side 
whisker. The animal had been owned by Mr. Mace about six 
months and had this enlargement when purchased. lie 
would allow the growth to be handled, or even pinched without 
evincing any pain whatever, but on touching the mane immedi¬ 
ately over the enlargement, it would evince great uneasiness, and 
squirm as an animal would from fistulous withers. 
On the first day of last November a bay mare was brought 
to me from the same owner, having an enlargement similar 
to the foregoing, but situated on the left shoulder. I made 
an incision and discovered that the tumor contained hair; 
did not cut into it further, but sent the animal at once to my 
friend Prof. Liautard, at the American Veterinary College, as a 
clinic, i his animal had the enlargement when purchased twelve 
months previously, but differed from the other, as it did not evince 
any pain or uneasiness on the tumor or any of its surroundings, 
on being handled. The hair which was extracted in the first case 
shows at one of its ends a bulb which would suggest a keratogenous 
secretion. I would suppose it came from the hair bulbs of the 
mane, which owing to increased activity due to irritation, became 
detached and after working their way through the connective tis¬ 
sue, finally became located and enveloped with the fibrous sac. 
Both cases have terminated favorably.
