injected, especially those of the eye and mouth. They soon as¬ 
sume a dirty, dark red, slightly yellowish color, and on the lower 
lips are covered with “ purplish spots.” According to Keynal 
these are characteristic of the disease. 
This first manifestation has scarcely appeared when other symp¬ 
toms show themselves; general trembling, inability to stand up, 
abundant discharge of tears; difficulty of sight, escape of blood 
through the nose, anus and vulva; sometimes cold oedema of the 
neck, chest, groin and inferior jaw. Lastly, more or less severe 
convulsions take place, and carry off the patient in two or three 
hours, seldom sooner, rarely later.

anthrax of cattle. Like it, anthrax of sheep with external locali¬ 
zation is less prompt generally in its development.

FREAK OF NATURE. 
By A. H. Baker, V. S. 
Having run across a very singular freak of nature, a few days

The subject is a horse, buckskin in color, rising six years old, fif¬ 
teen hands and three inches high. The peculiarity lies in the 
generative organs, having somewhat the appearances of an her¬ 
maphrodite, but the developments of the parts is unusual even in 
such cases. The vulva of the female organ is natural in outline, 
but the lips are grown together, leaving an opening at the bottom

of the labia tnajora forming the sheath of the penis, although it 
encloses only a small portion of it, leaving the glans always ex¬ 
posed and protruding at the point occupied by the clitoris of the 
female. The glans is perfect in every respect, but small, it hav¬ 
ing the urethral fossa, cul de sac and fungus-like protuberance of
