 Three cases are described, two produced in coats by cohabitation or contact 

 and one in a sheep by inoculation. In goats which had recovered from the 

 disease the atrophied mammary glands became absolutely normal after the 

 next parturition. In barren anjmals and in those animals which aborted 

 during the first period of gestation the mammary eland remained atrophied. 

 but in goats which aborted during the second period of gestation a satisfac-
