increase of resistance, but not quite sufficient to withstand such 

 an inoculation, which it should be remembered is really a greater 

 dose than that given with the same quantity of the Victorian 

 bacillus, the broth cultures of the Tasmanian being much more 

 cloudy than those of the Victorian. 



The post-mortem picture was typical, there being slightly 

 blood-tinged froth issuing from the nostrils ; no odour of putre- 

 faction present ; much peritoneal fluid and more pleural fluid than 

 usual ; the stomach was normal, but for a very slight oedema of the 

 folds ; the kidneys were soft and degenerate, and the lungs very 

 oedematous ; the bronchi and trachea containing a quantity of 

 frothy shghtly blood-tinged fluid. 



Lamb 36 (10 months old Leicester) was drenched with 3 cc. 

 virulent culture of Victorian bacillus as injected into lamb 33, and 

 remained normal. Seventeen days later on being inoculated with 

 0.25 cc. virulent culture Victorian bacillus, beyond a temporary 

 lameness the lamb remained normal, the temperature not rising 

 beyond 103.5.
