tion. A few small vesicles exist, but they are not suf- 

 ficiently matured to yield any lym])h. Mucous vari 

 can be seen on the Sclmeiderian membrane. The 

 patient has less fever, and the appetite is returning. 



Nov. 4. — The erupt ire vesicles are numerous, and 

 distended with a clear ichor, which enabled Mr. Mar- 

 son, and ourselves, to obtain a supply of good lym})h. 

 The inoculated vesicles contained scarcely any fluid, 

 although they were of large size.- So7)w of the papu/cv 

 are unchanged. 



Nov. 7. — Brown incrustations are formed on several 

 of the eruptive vesicles; and the cuticle is falling in 

 branny scales from tlie papuhe zahich did not vesicate. 

 Slight ulceration of the inoculated places has com- 

 menced ; but the animal's health is much improved. 



Nov. 11. — Pustules have succeeded many of the 

 vesicles ; others of them are mnhilicoted, and have 

 small scabs on their centres; these are surrounded 

 with a slight areola. The inoculated sores appear to 

 be healing. 



As the progress of the case after this time was 

 satisfactory, and as no features shewed themselves 

 of sufficient importance to merit especial notice, we 

 proceed to give the details of another experiment 

 that was carried out simultaneously with the foregoing, 

 in which the phases of the malady and its termination 

 were altogether different. 



Oct. 22. — Patient a strong and healthy half-bred 

 Leicester ewe : inoculated with Jlnid lymph : two 

 incisions were made on the side of the brisket, and 

 one on the inner part of each thigh. No indication of 

 success was noticed till the seventh day, when one 

 pimcture on the brisket shewed a slight redness.
