NINTH GROUP OF OBSERVATIONS. 



On the 2d of February the greater part of these animals showed 

 signs of the inoculation, and afterwards recovered. 



One animal on the 3d of February had a swelling in the upper part, of 

 the right hind limb. Tlie tumor increased aud the animal suffered in- 

 tensely. Incisions, emollients and purgatives were resorted to as usual. 

 By the Sth of February the swelling liad invaded nearly the whole of the 

 right hip, pushed the tail to the lelt, and the anus was partly occluded 

 so as to cause diiUculty in defecation. The animal died on the 10th. 

 Post-mortem appearances indicated little else beyond the tliickening of 

 the skin and suluuitaneous tissues of the right hip. There was some 

 discoloration of tlie intestines, flaccid appearance of muscles, and dark 

 color of lungs, but no si)ecitic appearances in internal organs.
