of urine, when as recently passed lias an acid reaction and is found to be pretty strongly albuminous witli all the three tests. Only a few finely granular casts in the sediment. A portion boiled with acetic acid and sulphate of soda, and a precipitate formed. The filtrate gives no peptone- (or biuret-) reaction. Rather more than half a cubic centimeter of the phosphorised oil injected. March 25.—Urine copious, paler than yesterday, acid, contains more albumen than before as shown by the three tests. No peptone-reaction in the precipitated urine. The sediment contains a good many coarsely granular casts and a few renal epithelial cells in a state of fatty degeneration. lS[o injection. March 26.—Death early this morning. The urine pre- yiously voided is very pale, acid, and very highly albuminous, as shown by all three tests. The sediment contains coarsely granular short casts and isolated epithelial cells in a state of disintegration. III. March 28.—A very large rabbit, fed upon oats and turnips. Urine abundant and acid, clear on filtration; no cloudiness with all the three tests for albumen. Injection of half a cubic centimeter of phosphorised oil. March 29.—Urine acid. Acetic acid and ferro-cyanide of potassium added to the clear filtrate produce slight cloudi- ness; the same result on boiling with acetic acid and sulphate of soda. Nitric acid alone causes no decided tur- bidity; boiling causes the urine to become so dark that nothing can be recognised. Injection of half a cubic centi- meter of phosphorised oil. March 30.—Urine acid, yields a clear filtrate which ia shown to be decidedly albuminous by the two first-mentioned tests; nitric acid causes slight cloudiness, which seems to become more marked on boiling, so far as can be made out m the dark discolouration which appears in the urine. March 31.—Rabbit found dead. Urine by mistake not examined. lY. April 2.—A medium-sized rabbit, kept in a cage since the day before yesterday, and fed upon oats and turnips. The urme obtained by compressing the bladder is acid, somewhat gelatinous, semi-fluid, but yields a clear
