defined but shades off gradually into the surrounding tissues. The 

 swollen area is oedeniatous and doughy to the touch. The enlarged 

 glands can not be distinguished well by palpation. The abdominal 

 cavity contains a small amount of fluid. The lungs are nowhere 

 adherent. The pericardium is normal, as is also the pericardial 

 fluid. The right ventricle of the heart is well contracted, the 

 left one dilated. A few small subepicardial hemorrhages are. 

 found on the surface. The myocardium is fairly firm, pink with 

 a very faint tinge of yellow and somewhat dull in appearance. 

 Otherwise the heart and the large vessels are normal. The coronary 

 vessels are much congested, the two sides containing chicken-fat 

 clots and some dark, fluid blood. The lungs are inflated, heav}^, 

 and bluish-purple on the outer surfaces. The right lung shows 

 a number of small subpleuritic hemorrhagic spots, most of which 

 are found at the two adjoining surfaces of the middle and the 

 lower lobes. On section the pulmonary tissue is found to be much 

 congested and oedematous and dark brownish-red. The bronchi 

 contain some foamy, viscid mucus and their mucosa is slightly swol- 

 len and injected. The injection of the bronchial mucosa is very 

 marked and the small arteries and veins are quite visible. The 

 mucosa of the larynx is in a similar condition. The internal 

 surface of the epiglottis exhibits al^out half a dozen pin-head-sized 

 submucous hemorrhages. The In'onchial glands are quite markedly 

 enlarged, softened, and congested, those on the right side being 

 more so than the ones on the left. Posteriorly at about the middle 

 of the trachse there are found two lymph glands each of the size 

 of a bean, which are swollen, soft, and much congested. The left 

 tonsil is swollen, hyperemic, and slightly ulcerated. The spleen is 

 about one and one-half to two times the size of the normal adult 

 spleen. Externally it is bluish-gray and has a smooth capsule. In 

 consistency it is quite soft and flabby. On section the surface is 

 granular and the pulp is found to be very soft. The trabeculge 

 are distinct; the follicles are very indistinct. Much brown juice 

 can be scraped from the surface. The kidneys are quite large and 

 fairly firm. The capsules are smooth, and the external color is 

 pinkish-gray. Both kidneys show a few subcapsular hemorrhagic 

 spots, the largest one being of the size of a split pea. The capsules 

 peel off easily. On section the siirface is quite dull and grayish- 

 yellow, with injected blood vessels, which have a prominent 

 yellowish-gray background. The glomeruli are visible as rea
