      Frank M. Cox, William J. Whinery and Albert N. Powell, for appellee.
   Enloe, C. J.

The appellee herein has entered its special appearance in this cause and filed its motion to dismiss this appeal, for the reason that the same was not taken and perfected within the time allowed by the statute.

The section of the statute in question §61 of Workmen’s Compensation Act (Acts 1915 p. 392, §80201 et seq. Burns’ Supp. 1918) provides: “but either party to the dispute may, within thirty days from the date of the award, appeal to the appellate court for errors of law under the same terms and conditions as govern appeals in ordinary civil actions.”

The sections of our' statute to which reference is made, as governing appeals in ordinary civil actions are, §§675, 681 Burns 1914, Acts 1895 p. 179, §640 R. S. 1881. The former relates to what are known as “term time appeals,” perfected by filing appeal bond in the lower court, etc., and has no application to the facts as disclosed by the record before us. The latter section relates to what are known as vacation appeals and provides that such an appeal may be perfected in either of two ways, viz: (a) By serving of notice in writing upon the adverse party or his attorney, and also upon the clerk of the court in which the case was tried,'of such appeal; or (b) by procuring a transcript of the record in the cause and filing the same in the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court, and then having such clerk issue notice to all adverse parties of the fact .of such appeal.

Where bond is filed and an appeal prosecuted under the provisions of sáid §675, supra, no notice to the adverse party is necessary, but an appeal cannot be perfected under the provisions of said §681, supra, unless the notice therein required is given.

In this case no bond was filed; the appellant had a right to perfect an appeal under the provisions of §681, supra, if he so desired; but to perfect such appeal notice was necessary, and no notice was ever given, or attempted to be given in this case, and we are therefore without jursidiction. The motion to dismiss this appeal, upon this record, must be and is sustained.

Appeal dismissed.
