I called the case pretubercular, i. e., where tuberculosis 

 is in the pre-stage, before the lungs are broken down. 



"No. 2 Cow. Tuberculosis of both lungs and medias- 

 tinal lymphatics, but not so badly diseased as No. 1." 

 Veterinarian report. 



*' No. 3 Cow. Only a few single spores of mycoderma 

 aceti were found ; not a very decisive case, but put down 

 as pretuberculosis possibly." — E. Cutter. 



" No. 3 Cow. Found only a pharyngeal abcess, pre- 

 sumably tuberculous." — Veterinarian report. 



" No 4 Cow. A few spore collects. Some massive 

 broken crystals indicating rheumatism." — E. Cutter. 



"No. 4 Cow. A very old cow. Tuberculosis in both 

 lungs. Well marked in tlie right, slight in the left." — 

 Veterinarian report 



"No. 5 Cow. A few segregate individual spores of 

 mycoderma aceti. White corpuscles enlarged. Doubt- 

 ful. Specimen spoiled by heat of lamp accidentally." — E. 

 Cutter. 



" No. 5 Cow you mark doubtful I think her trouble was 

 only bronchitis of left lung." — Veterinarian report. 



" No. 6 Cow. A few discrete single spores. Two or 

 three spore collects. Amyloid body(?); crystals. Mor- 

 phology of blood otherwise normal. Suggests pretuber- 

 culous." — E. Cutter.

 extensive." — Veterinarian report. 



" No. 7 Cow. A very few spore collects, not typical. 

 Otherwise normal. May he pretuberculous." — E. Cutter.

 in left forequarter of udder. "^ — Veterinarian report. 



" No. 8 Cow. Red corpuscles normal. White cor- 

 puscles enlarged and show entophytal vegetation. Some
