394 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. 
Large intestine: One sloughing ulcer on the ilio-cxeal vaive, three on the cecum, and 
a considerable number in thecolon. The colon and rectum also bore numerous patches 
of extravasation one to two lines in diameter. The last inch of the rectum is of an 
uniformly deep dark red. The mucosa and sub-mucosa are alike gorged with blood, 
and at one point a bleeding pile projects into the passage. 
Liver, pancreas, and spleen are firm and seemingly healthy. 
Kidneys: Firm and apparently sound; cortical part rather pale. 
Bladder: Sound; moderately full. : 
Urine: Strongly acid; density, 1026; albuminous; urea, 37) per cent. 
Parasites in abdomen: Attached to the peritoneum of stomach, liver, and spleen are 
seven hydatids. 
Chest: Right heart contains clots; left heart empty. Auriculo-ventricular farrow 
Alled with a gelatinoid material, which, under the microscope, appears as a loose fibrous 
stroma, its open meshes filled with a nearly homogeneous material, together with a 
few fat celis, granule cells, and abundant capillary net-work filled with uncoagulated 
blood. The white corpuscles are more abundant in these than in the axillary vein. 
No parasites nor ova could be found in this gelatinoid material. 
Lungs: Mostly healthy. Isolated lobules and at certain points a few adjacent ones 
are infarcted and soiid, and all such have their bronchia filled with worms (Strongylus 
elongatus) and a thick mucous. The plugged bronchia are mostly dilated, and on the 
mucous membrane of one such is a white patch about a line in diameter, resembling 
the sloughs on the intestines, but not so thick.
