normal except as noted. /urts examined: Subcutaneous 
tissues; mucous membranes; heart; lungs pleure; alimentary 
tract; bladder; post pharyngeal, mediastinal, bronchial, 
mesenteric, portal and inguinal lymphatic glands, kidneys, 
and spinal cord in the anterior cervical region. 
Autopsy.—1. A red steer calf in fair condition and about 
four months of age, had died about 36 hours prior to our 
visit. The carcass was moderately bloated, otherwise in 
fair condition for examination. The skin was discolored in 
places, especially where denuded of hair. The subcutaneous 
areolar tissues were emphysematous with fairly well defined 
hemorrhages, especially marked at the throat and adjacent 
portions of the inferior cervical region. The superficial 
muscles beneath these infiltrated areas were similarly in- 
volved. The surfaces of the limbs below the knees, and hocks, 
did not show hemorrhages as in the cases previously re- 
ported by Drs. Wilson and Brimhall. There were no wounds 
of the skin near the feet that could be detected. Tracheal, 
oesophageal, and laryngeal mucous membranes show 
marked inflammation, being dark, swollen and wet. 
The kidneys were probably normal at the time of death 
but when examined they were soft and showed numerous 
light yellowish areas about 8 mm. in diameter. The lungs 
showed a few small, sharply defined hepatized areas, mark- 
edly resembling the peculiar lesions of swine plague. The 
owner had noticed that this calf was quite lame, while sick, 
and it is interesting to note that in the examination one of: 
the peculiar areas of heemorrhagic septicaemia was found in- 
volving the shoulder muscles. Several articulations show- 
ed ulcerations of the articular cartilages, especially the 
humero-radial and tibio-tarsal. See Fig.1. Theseulcerations 
were about 31 mm. long by 12 mm. wide. 
Autopsy.—2. This was a red heifer calf, 7 or 8 months 
of age, in fair condition. The animal had been dead about 
48 hours but showed less post-mortem change than No. 1. 
So far as superficial parts are concerned the post-mortem 
findings of No. 1 will apply very closely. This is also true 
of the lymphatic glands, mucous membrances and kidneys. 
The dura mater in the anterior cervical region had evidently 
been the seat of a very active inflammation. The lungs
