REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 63 



* 



Thirteen of these animals gave evidence by rise in temperature of the presence of 

 the disease. These were killed on the 24th, and a post-mortem examination made in 

 each case. 



1. Cowslip, Durham Cow, 1\ years. — The lungs of this animal were free from dis- 

 ease, but small patches of tubercle were found in the liver, near the surface. A large 

 mass of tubercle, weighing about a pound, was attached to the omentum with other 

 smaller masses adjacent, mesenteric glands enlarged and filled with tubercle. A tuber- 

 culous cyst attached to the stomach was also filled with pus-like tubercle. Deposits of 

 tubercle were also found in the udder. 



2. Red Rosebud, Durham Cow, 6^ years. — The apex of one of the lungs was filled 

 with cheesy and softer masses of tubercle, the other lung was healthy. There was a 

 tumour in the throat of a part fatty and part fibrous character, inclosing small masses 

 of tubercle, some of which was solidified and some semi-fluid. 



3. Nellie Elgins, Durham cow, 3J years. — Lungs and other organs healthy. 

 Thoracic glands much enlarged and filled with solidified and calcareous tubercle — parts 

 of the udder indicated the presence of tubercle in its early stages. 



7. Red Knight, Durham Bull, 3| years. — Lungs and other organs healthy. No 

 tubercle was found in any of the thoracic or mesenteric glands, but the lymphatic 

 gland on each side of base of scrotum was found charged with tubercle in a semi-fluid 

 condition. 



14. Siepkje 3rd's calf, 8 months, Holstein heifer. — In this animal the lungs and 

 liver were healthy, and no tubercle was found in any of the glands. In the udder were 

 found hardened patches of tubercle, and small tubercles were also found on the surface 

 of the spleen. 



17. Pride of Eastview, Polled Angus Cow, 8 years. — The lungs appeared to be free 

 from tubercle, but had an unhealthy appearance, the tip of one lobe of the liver was 

 also light coloured and unhealthy looking, not clearly tuberculous, but may have been 

 tubercle in an early stage. The glands were free from tubercle, but tuberculous matter 

 was found on both sides of the udder in patches. 



18. Stella of Eastview, Polled Angus Cow, 7 years. — Both lungs were almost filled 

 with masses of soft solidified tubercle. The thoracic glands were much enlarged, weigh- 

 ing about two pounds in all, and were filled with tubercle mostly in a calcareous con- 

 dition. Small tubercles were found on the surface of the spleen, and the udder had 

 small patches of tubercle on both sides. 



19. Daisy of Eaton, Polled Angus Cow, 5| years. — One small mass of tubercle was 

 found in one of the lungs near the tip, otherwise these organs seemed healthy. The 

 glands were free from tubercle, but a few small tubercles were found on the surface of 

 the spleen. 



20. Lady Eaton, Polled Angus Cow, 3 J years. — A large mass of tubercle was found 

 in the substance of one lung, and many smaller masses distributed through the adjacent 

 structure. Several small tubercles were found just under the surface of the liver, also 

 on the surface of the spleen. The thoracic glands were much enlarged and filled with 

 caseous tubercle. 



21. Stella of Assiniboia, Polled Angus Cow, 3 years. — The lungs of this animal 

 were healthy, but a small patch of tubercle was found in the liver. Two of the lym- 

 phatic glands were also found to be slightly tuberculous. In this cow the disease was 

 in a very early stage. 



30. Nellie, Grade heifer, 2 years. — No tubercle was found in the lungs, but the sur- 

 face had an unhealthy appearance, liver healthy, one of the thoracic glands was en- 

 larged and partly filled with solidified tubercle. 



33. Grade Steer, 2 years. — One lump of semi-solid tubercle was found in the sub- 

 stance of one of the lungs about the size of a hen's egg, and three of the thoracic glands 

 were enlarged and partly filled with caseous tubercle. 



35. Holstein Grade Steer, 5 months. — In this instance the lungs and other organs 

 were healthy, but the thoracic glands were considerably enlarged and filled with caseous 

 tubercular matter. 



In the table it will be seen that the yearling Durham bull, Prince, of QuAppelle, 

 No. 8 had a very unusually high normal 104-3, and although this ran up to 104-8 with-
