Havean assistant hold the tail upwards, z. e., dorsalwards, andtightly stretched. Make an incision 15 to 20 cm. long, overthe middle of the inferior surface of each depressor longusmuscle, beginning close against the elastic ligature and ex-tending toward the apex, severing at once the skin andcaudal fascia down to the muscle. Let an assistant retractthe lips of the incision with tenacula while the operatordissects the depressor longus muscle, DC, Plate XV, from XV. Caudai, Mykctomy To Prevent GrippingOF THE Reins.

Remove the ligature, when hemor-rhage may ensue, which is to be controlled by the applica-tion of a second bandage extending higher up on the the bandage in 24 hours and dress as before for asecond day after which treat as an open wound.
