The classification of Dr. Buchanan, containing though it does 

 many diseases of the skin which are never seen amongst the 

 low*»r animals, is yet that best adapted for the purposes of 

 description ; and although I have given the table in its entirety, 

 I intend to describe in the text those diseases only to which the 

 lower animals are liable. 



lEYTHEiLATOUS INFLAMliLVTIONS. 

 (1.) ERYTHEMA, 



Inflammation of the outer layer of the dermis, including not only , 

 the slight inflammation produced by mildly irritating agents, 

 such as rubefacients, cold, stings, &c., but also spontaneous 

 inflammations depending on systemic or constitutional distur- 

 bances. Its character or expression is that of uniform redness, 

 (but the redness can only be seen in the colourless skin, such as 

 wliite heels of horses, and mammary glands of cows), with heat, 

 swelling, and irritation.
