DESCRIPTION OF PLATES. 



PLATE I. 



Fig. 1. Lower jaw of a Rinderpest cow. Under lip everted. Showing charac- 

 teristic congestion of the superficial membrane. Also its peel- 

 ing off at a more advanced stage of the disease, from the gum, 

 exposing the raw surface of the mucous coat, See p. 31. 



Fig. 2. Microscopic view of the epithelium from same membrane, partly rolled 

 up into scrolls and cylindrical forms, partly presenting its proper 

 flattened and nucleated appearance ; also showing mucous corpuscles, 

 starch cells, &c. The epithelial scales are very granular, and evi- 

 dently undergoing retrograde degeneration, See p. 32. 



PLATE II. 



Fig. 1. Giving the equally characteristic capillary congestion of the mucous 

 membrane of the swollen vulva, the aphthous eruption on the upper part 

 of the left labia near the integuments, the inflamed clitoris and ropy" 

 discharge from the orifice, See p. 36. 



Fig. 2. Section of the 4th stomach of steppe calf No. 14 near the pylorus, show- 

 ing the ulcer-like depression beginning to heal, See p. 29. 



PLATE III. 

 Fig. 1. Section of the 3d stomach, exhibiting the scarlet rings frequently found 



in its gastric folds with their denuded and dusky centres, See p. 32. 



Fig. 2. (a.) A single papilla attacked, and the capillary congestion commenced 

 and beginning to spread, 

 (b.) The same seen under the microscope, and the minutest capillary vessels 

 engorged and branching off towards the adjoining papillae. See p. 33. 



PLATE IV. 



Fig. 1. Mucous coat of the 4th stomach, contrasting its earlier and more advanced 

 stages of degeneration, * See pp. 33-4. 



Fig. 2. Same from 4th stomach of inoculated cow, No. 6, showing ecchymoses 

 shining through the violet colored membrane, See p. 28. 



PLATE V. 



Fig. 1. Showing complete injection and arborescent fonns of the capillary vessels 

 when fully congested in the small bowels. 



Fig. 2. Characteristic mahogany appearance of the same after such extreme con- 

 gestion, See p. 35. 



PLATE VL 



Fig, 1 and 2. Sections of the duodenum in steppe cow No. 8, showing yellow 

 fibrinous masses from Peyer's glands (fig. 2, showing one Pey- 

 er's gland and two Solitary Follicles, the exudation being removed 

 from the former at both ends), See p. 30.
