admitted. Post-mortem examination revealed similar lesions as 
were found in the bitch, with the exception of less congestion of 
the meninges. 
Case No. 4. —This subject was a Skye terrier, a great pet of 
several ladies. Naturally affectionate, he had, however, a certain 
hatred for some persons, and was cautious of new acquaintances. 
He was noticed first becoming exceedingly restless, constantly 
moving, especially at night, and showed an insatiable desire to 
lick. He begged to be taken up and, if gratified, would lick the 
hand until driven away. Dr. Liautard was requested to see him. 
As he came to the house, the dog, who had not been over friendly 
with him, ran to the doctor and begged to be taken up, to go up¬ 
stairs. The gentleman did so and, in going up, noticed the great 
desire of the little fellow to lick. This was the only peculiar¬ 
ity which could be found. He seemed to be entirely well other¬ 
wise, and ate and drank comparatively well. He was said to have 
been bitten two months ago, while in the country, but the dog 
which bit him is said to be alive and well! And while the sus¬

closely watched. His first action was to hunt over his bedding, 
and eat considerable straw ; then, as if startled, would prick up 
his ears and listen. His eyes were bright, and had a peculiar far 
away look at times. An active cathartic was administered, and 
he was left quietly alone. At the usual afternoon feeding he 
seemed greatly excited by the barking of the other dogs, and be¬ 
gan to gnaw at the woodwork of his cage ; later in the evening, 
approaching him as silently as possible, he was seen sitting on 
his haunches, intently watching something in the straw. When 
spoken to he would look up as though he.only partially heard 
you, and would again resume his watching. Irritating him with 
a stick thrust into his cage, he would snap at it very viciously, 
until he was in a perfect fury. His cries at this time were taken
