 enlarged, but the vascularity of the skin was only slightly 

 increased. There were a few enlarged lymphatics here and 

 there, and the subcutaneous tissue was open, loose, and contained 

 much serum. 



On analysis of the cutaneous excretion it was found that 

 it contained large quantities of nitrogen in the form of ammonia.

a small proportion as urea, a proportion as albuminoids, about 

 5 per cent, of fat, and also salines in the form of phosphate, sul- 

 phate, and chloride of sodium, with a little chloride of potassium, 

 and the proportion of water as low as 10 per cent. It was 

 noticed that there was a large proportion of volatile butyric, 

 and a small amount of lactic acid. It will be seen from the 

 photo-micrographs that the papillae of the skin are hypertrophied
