During the period between November 1982 and April 1984, 11 sheep showing clinical signs of infection by Coenurus cerebralis were subjected to clinical and radiographical examinations, and subsequently treated surgically for removal of the cyst. A detailed account is given of the investigations carried out and of the surgical procedure adopted for the removal of the cyst together with cystographical and surgicopathological findings. There was a successful clinical response to the removal of the cyst.

Between November 1974 and November 1978, 11 sheep with ventral hernia were referred for surgical correction. The anatomy of the area, clinical findings, operative details, surgicopathological observations and postoperative results are described. A comparison of these cases with hernial correction in horses and cattle is made.

An experimental study on the homogeneous transplantation of the major part of the lateral and medial femoral trochleae and trochlear groove with articular cartilage was carried out in the School of Veterinary Medicine, Pahlavi University, Shiraz. The results of postoperative clinical examinations and regular radiographical observations are described. Finally, the pathological findings and surgico-pathological observations are noted. The advantages of using the technique described and its possible clinical applications are discussed.

A survey of cadaver material was undertaken in order to determine the prevalence of arthritis of the canine stifle joint. One hundred and fifty unselected cadavers were obtained from veterinary practices for this purpose, and their stifle joints were radiographed and dissected to discover abnormalities. Thirty-one dogs (20 per cent) had stifle arthritis and in all except one the lesions were characteristic of osteoarthritis. In the exceptional case infection was the cause. A mechanical derangement was present in 20 of the 54 affected joints, in the form of rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (10), meniscal tears (9) and patellar dislocation (1). The cause of the arthritis in the other 33 joints is unknown.

A cystic condition of the peritoneum of tuna fish (Thunnus thynnus) caught from the Persian Gulf is described. Parasitologic examination established widespread infection by the cestode Grillotia. An account is given of the taxonomic position of this genus.
