the male. The mammary glands are entirely wanting, but two 
small teats are found in their natural position. The animal has 
the general appearance and finesse of the mare, but has never 
shown any indications of being in heat; it has the organs as far 
as micturation is concerned, of the male, but no testicles are visi¬ 
ble, and never shows any inclinations of the stallion when in the 
company of mares in heat, but minds his own business like a geld¬ 
ing. The urine is passed in a small, steady stream, as with the 
male, but he takes the position of the female. He is perfect in 
every other way, and can trot in 40 without training. The glans 
penis that is exposed is about the size of the same organ of a 
gelding.

By T. V. Rogers, D.V.S. 
There is, at this writing, in Gloucester Co., N. Y., an enzootic 
disease which I suspect to be variola equina. I have not had an 
opportunity to see authenticated cases of the disease, and cannot 
prevail on any one to allow inoculation to bovines. 
I give a short summary of some cases I have met with in my 
own practice, and of two that I did not treat. I have seen more 
than fifty cases of the disease, and there are comparatively few 
farms free from it, in a mild or severe form. 
Case 1.—A driving horse in Woodbury was attacked by 
swelled legs, followed by formation of ulcers on the fetlocks, and 
destruction of the superficial layers of the skin around the bulbs 
of the heels ; purulent infiltration into the connective tissue ; in¬ 
flammation of the superficial lymphatics; formation of pus in 
the sub-maxillary glands—fever. Good recovery. 
Case 2.—A horse in Haddonfield, N. J. Two ulcers on the 
outside of the near hind leg, one on the fetlock joint, the other 
below it; the surrounding tissue somewhat indurated, the gran¬ 
ulations florid, the pus laudable; at other points between the fet¬ 
lock and hock were foci of purulent discharge, and on other 
parts of the body, including the face, were marks of similar
