DISEASES OF SWINE AND OTHER ANIMALS. 397 
periphery, and for a considerable distance at intervals, the congested portions being 
mostly empty and contracted. 
Tlio-cecal valve: Peyer’s patch, which passes over the valve, has many of its follicles 
filled up with a yellowish-white matter. The whole patch is swollen, but not very 
vascular to the naked eye. 
Caecum and colon bear petechix : Many solitary glands in the colon are unusually large; 
some excessively dilated, filled with yellowish matter, and apparently commencing to 
form ulcers. Spots of congestion scattered over the mucous membrane show minute 
extravasations when placed under the microscope. 
Mesenteric glands: Some unchanged; some stained of adeep blood color. Inguinal 
glands large. 
Kidneys: Normal. 
Liver: Is firm and solid. Bears numerous punctiform petechiz on the posterior sur- 
face of its right lobe, and a large dark-purple patch on the posterior aspect of its mid- 
dle lobe. 
Gall bladder: Moderately filled with a straw-colored, glutinous bile. Membranes of 
the bladder unchanged. 
Pancreas and spleen: Normal. 
Chest—heart: Left ventricle contains petechize. Right auricle just above the auri- 
culo-ventricular valve presents a brownish-red spot which, under the microscope, is 
seen to contain much granular matter in the sub-serous connective tissue. 
Lungs: The right has two dark, blood-colored spots on its posterior part. The left 
shows similar colorations, mostly in lines along the inter-lobularspaces. The bronchia 
leading to such points contained no parasites nor exudation. 
Bronchial lymphatic glands: Normal. 
Brain: Normal.

Post-mortem examination.—Skin: Tn great part covered by the usnal black concretion. 
Has patches of purple on ears and legs. 
Digestive organs: Some deposit exists on the lower surface of the tongue, to the left 
of the frenum, composed of granular matter and ceils having more than one nucleus; 
evidently the remnant of a small abscess. On the fauces, to the right side, is a pur- 
ple patch not removed by pressure, extending to an inch in length and a quarter of an 
inch in breadth. 
Pharynz and larynx: Normal.
