for months I had an opportunity of seeing and watching him. 
Ilis face presented on the right side a tumor, an idea of which 
you can have by examining the plaster cast which is now in the 
museum of the college. It covers the whole extent of that side 
of the face, on the upper jaw, from the lower end of the max¬ 
illary spine upward toward the lacrymal and the nasal, down the 
large maxillary bone. Though surrounded by a diffuse swelling, 
the tumor was somewhat round and well defined. Like that of 
the first case, it was ’mmovable, painless and soft here and there. 
It had had a slow growth and is supposed to have started from a 
blow given by a lu stier a vear or so before. There was a puru¬ 
lent discharge from the right nostril, which was much increased 
by work. When at work, he roars noisily. He ate well, seemed 
in good health otherwise, and,as I said, performed his work daily. 
Consulted upon his condition, I recommended to have the horse 
destroyed. Instead of that, a veterinarian induced the owner to 
allow him to tap the tumor and allow the escape of the pus. The 
permission was granted, and a lancet introduced into one of the 
soft spots of the surface of the tumor. A little pus escaped, bub. 
the owner said to me afterwards, “ that blood flew profusely,” 
and it was difficult to stop the hemorrhage. Several weeks after, 
I bought the horse for a trifle and had his head macerated, and 
you can sec die condition of the bone. 
The th ,rd case is not so distinctly present to my mind, but 
Dr. Peab dy, who prepared the specimen, can correct me if my 
memory is imperfect. It is that of a bay horse which was brought 
here to one of the clinics of the college, and had on one side of 
his face a swelling similar to those already described, with about 
a similar history. The animal was destroyed, and the specimen 
is presented to you for your observation. 
The fourth case is already familiar to you, both by what has 
appeared in the American Veterinary Review and other papers, 
sporting as well as daily news journals. It is the case of the 
black trotting gelding, Prospero. If you will refer to the article, 
which I wrote and published in the July number of the Review, 
you will see that the characters of the tumor are similar as to its 
external appeal ance, its mode of development, and what was not
