TUMORS OF THE BLADDER.

Recorded cases of sarcoma (Mauri), carcinoma (Cadeac, Hink,

Friedberger), and tuberculosis can be adduced. Papilloma is perhaps as

frequent as any of the above. The author has treated two cases of

papilloma in mares complicated with multiple small calculi and gravel.

_Treatment_ is exclusively surgical and in the mare with the widely

dilatable urethra this is sometimes possible through that channel. In

the same animals _diagnosis_ may be accomplished by introducing the

finger into the urethra and bladder. In other females and males, vaginal

or rectal palpation must be resorted to.
