endocardium, etc., are normal. The myocardium is of good con- 

 sistency and reddish-pink, with a slight shade of yellow. The 

 aorta and the coronaries are normal. Lungs: A few adhesions are 

 found at the upper lobe of the right lung. The left pleural cavity 

 contains an increased amount of fluid. The pleural surfaces are 

 deep purplish-blue, particularly on the right side, the left side 

 showing some admixture with grayish-wliite. On section, the 

 right lung is found to be much congested and highly oedematous. 

 The bronchi contain a fair amount of slightly blood-stained, frothy 

 mucus, the alveoli only a small amount of air. The left lung is 

 quite heavy, the lower lobe being entirely consolidated, and the 

 greater portion of the upper one is in the same state. On section 

 the consolidated pulmonary tissue is light brownish-gray. The 

 cut surface is quite granular, and the juice which can be scraped 

 off is bloody-grayish-yellow and quite turbid and opaque. In the 

 upper lobe the consolidated area gradually shades off into the 

 surrounding tissue and' is not sharply defined. On a closer inspec- 

 tion both of the consolidated areas, in the upper lobes as well as 

 in the lower show foci, var}dng in size from a pea to a hazelnut, 

 grayish-yellowish-red in appearance, and surrounded by much con- 

 gested, dark red areas. The bronchial glands are swollen, and 

 very soft and dark, their contents being changed into an almost 

 black, cheesy mass. The mucosa of the bronchi, the trachea, and 

 the lar}Tix are swollen and congested. The spleen is normal in 

 size and flabby, with a wrinkled surface somewhat bluish-gray in 

 color. On section the pulp is soft and protrudes over the surface, 

 being dark reddish-brown in color. The Malpighian bodies and 

 the trabeculas are not very distinct. The kidneys are normal in 

 size and their surfaces purplish-pink in color. On section, the 

 vessels are much engorged, the tubules grayish- white, and the 

 surface dull. The mucosa of the pelves is much injected. The 

 suprarenals are swollen, softened, and brownish- purple in color. 

 The liver is large and of increased consistency, its surface being 

 purplish-blue with a great deal of grayish- white in some places. 

 The cut surface is decidedly pinkish-yellow and as a whole dull. 

 The vessels are much engorged. Stomach: The serosa shows a 

 very few small hemorrhagic spots; the mucosa contains very 

 numerous petechiee and ecchymotic areas. The duodenal mucosa 

 likewise shows some hemorrhagic spots. The lymphatics of the 

 small intestine are somewhat swollen. The mediastinal, the mesen-
