public and private interests engaged, and taking into consideration the 

 acknowledged symptoms and characteristics of dry glanders, as we find 

 them recognized as such by veterinary authorities, I have seen proper 

 to divide the sixty-seven horses that I have examined into four 

 classes : — 



1st. Those which presented characters positive in their nature, as far 

 as ulcers, cicati-ices, granular tubercles, epithelial lesions, and which, 

 in consequence, I would pi'onounce as aifected with chronic glanders 

 (dry form) . 



2d. Those which I consider Suspicious, as having presented to me, 

 principally, lesions of the mucous membrane in the shai>e of epithelial 

 erosions, or perhaps now and then a cicatrix, or other character of a 

 suspicious natm-e. In this class, Nos. 479, 2284, 2G9 and 7GG have not 

 been classified amongst those of the first, only on account of the diminu- 

 tive size of the lesions they iiresented. 



3d. Those which I named Doubtful, as having presented lesions 

 whose nature might be interpreted differently. 



4th. Those in which I have failed to detect any signs of disease 

 which would justify me in placing them in either of the two preceding 

 classes. 

 601. Left side two small tubcrcvilar cic. granular septum, leady 



septum. 

 518. Right side radiated cic. tubercular granular septum, slate. 

 205. Epithelial erosions over the whole right side, ulcerations on the 



left, lead color septum. 

 789. Epithelial erosions over the whole left side, cic. on the left, lead 



septum, lymphatic swelling on groin. 

 1658. Small ulcei'ations and tubei'cles on both sides. 

 2250. Granular cic. on right. Large epithelial erosions. 

 2260. Old and recent cic. on the right side. Small epithelial idcer on 



left. 

 2579. Slight epithelial erosions and ulcerations on both sides, more 



marked on left. Slight discharge, sticky on left. 

 573. Small ulcer on left. Epithelial on right, slate. 

 1758. Large radiated cic. on right. Small epithelial erosion, septum 



inflated. 

 2252. Ulceration on turbinated bone on left side. 

 1358. Cic. on right, lead color. Lymphingitis off hind leg. Temp. 



100 o. 

 1110. Max. glands swollen. Slight discharge on the left; extensive 



epithelial and ulceration on same side. 

 853. Small ulcer and granular tubercles on left side. 

 1483. Well developed chancre on left side. 

 924. Radiated chronic cic. on both sides, slate color. 

 2470. Cic. on left side. Tubercles and abrasions on the mucous mem- 

 brane. 

 867. Cic. and ulcerations on right side near the turbinated bone.
