30 EINDERPEST. 



Stomachs and oesophagus filled with greenish colored fluid ; cardium 

 greatly distended ; when cut, contents were observed to fill the entire 

 cavity of the chest. In nostrils was seen a free-lying exudation, 

 having several small branches as if from the bronchia?. Cellular tissue 

 of pericardium and mediastinum, and between the lobes of lungs dis- 

 tended with air. Lungs bright red, parenchyma normal ; pericardium 

 and heart healthy. In right ventricle very fluid red blood. Brain 

 very soft; great deal of blood under the dura mater; no water in 

 ventricles or spinal cavity ; bowels pale externally ; liver of normal 

 color, very sanguineous ; gall bladder full of dark green gall ; spleen 

 full of blood and soft. First and second stomachs contained little 

 food, but much water ; membranes normal. Third stomach contained 

 partly old, partly newly taken food (bran), perfectly normal. Fourth 

 stomach full of soft food ; membrane loosened, in parts injected, espe- 

 cially near the pylorus. The small bowels throughout showed in 

 many places firm, elastic, fibrinous masses, yellow in color, products 

 of the Peyerian glands. ( PI. VI, figs 1 and 2, giving sections of the 

 duodenum, with 07ie Peyer''s gland and two follicles in fig 2.) The 

 fibrinous masses were also on solitary glands of the thickness of a line 

 or more ; mucous membrane loosened and easily separated from the 

 muscular coat. In caecum, colon and rectum, no 'fibrinous masses. 

 Mesenteric glands pale, enlarged and hard. 



No. 32, a steppe calf of nine months old, which after inoculation 

 was severely sick and died suddenly ; symptoms not given. 



Post-mortem. Mouth free from erosions; nostril somewhat red- 

 dened ; chest showed a few emphysematous spots ; heart full of coagula 

 (clots) ; endocardium normal ; liver rather soft, containing some fibrin- 

 ous masses ; gall-bladder full ; spleen full of blood ; kidneys normal ; 

 first and second stomachs full of soft food, but normal ; third stomach 

 of the form of a ball ; food dry and dark green ; epithelium not 

 adherent; mucous coat of fourth stomach strongly injected, especially 

 towards the pylorus, and contains thin, bilious slime, but no food ; 

 mucous coat softened ; small bowels full of enormous fibrinous con- 

 cretions. Dn Peyerian glands, thirty large plaques were counted, from 

 pylorus to csecum, covered witli exudations of three to four lines wide, 

 sticking fast to the gla7ids, even after sixteen hours maceration. Taken 

 off*, the place corresponding to the glands was dark red. The whole 

 formed a mass, flattened on both sides, of yellow or red color, with 

 alternating elevations and depressions, and corresponding to the 

 length of the agglomeration of the glands. Usually there was a large 

 tail of three to four inches of light yelloto exudation^ showing in many
