ANOMALIES OF THE BLADDER.

=Persistent urachus.= Seen in the new born and mainly in males.

Antiseptic closure is essential after having ascertained that the

urethra is pervious.

=Imperforate cervix vesicæ.= A case reported by Lapotre, in a calf, had

no cervix, and the ureters were blocked by pea-shaped nodules.

=Recto-vesical fistula.= In a calf 13 days old the rectum opened into

the bladder and the fæces and urine escaped by a pervious urachus.
