FIG. 205. Lung of a rabbit, killed 63 days after inoculation, partly intra- 

 venously and partly intra-peritoneally, with a total of 140 mg. of killed culture 

 of bacilli of bovine origin. This figure is a representative example of numerous 

 lesions found in the lungs. The material which stains strongly with eosin 

 bears a curious resemblance to actinomyces. The lesion as a whole is abund- 

 antly infiltrated with finely granular oxyphil leucocytes. As carbol-fuchsin 

 has not been applied, no bacilli are stained. Eosin and methylene blue, x 112.

FIG 206 From the same lung as fig. 205, the specimen having been stained 

 with carbol-fuchsin before counterstaining with eosin and methylene blue. 

 A portion of one of the actinomyces-like nodules. The club formation may 

 perhaps be attributable to dissolved constituents of the large number of dead 

 bacilli inoculated. Some bacilli not yet disintegrated are seen in the lower 

 part of the field. The abundance of multinuclear leucocytes, which are shedding 

 their granules, suggests that the disintegration of the dead bacilli is due to the 

 digestive action of these cells. Carbol-fuchsin, eosin and methylene blue. 

 x 865. (Eastwood.) (See footnote p. 295.)
