Deposits of carbonate of lime are of constantoccurrence in the urine of herbivora. These may bereadily collected for examination from the urine of thehorse, in which they occur spontaneously. When exa-mined by the microscope, after being washed withwater, the particles of the carbonate are observed to besmall transparent spheres, like globules of glass, andstrongly refracting light. Allowed to dry, and exa-mined after immersion in Canada balsam, their struc-ture is beautifully distinct. Each sphere being madeup of myriads of minute needles radiating from acommon centre (Fig. 50); the whole having a ci
