numerous small petechise and ecchymoses, varying in size from one 

 to several millimeters. The surface as a whole is cyanotic. On 

 section the superficial veins discharge a good deal of dark, fluid 

 blood. The serous membranes are highly injected and somewhat 

 dull. The pericardium contains the usual amount of fluid, which 

 is turbid and rather dark yellowish. The heart is somewhat 

 enlarged, soft, and flabby. The left ventricle is very moderately con- 

 tracted and the right one dilated, both of them containing clotted 

 blood. The auriculo-ventricular openings are somewhat increased 

 in size. The myocardium is soft and flabby, of a pinkish-yellow 

 color, and easily torn. Otherwise the heart is normal. The lungs 

 are adherent; the adhesions are easily broken up and are most 

 marked on both the lower lobes and at the right apex. Both pleural 

 cavities contain an increased amount of fluid of a turbid, slightly 

 blood-stained character. The surfaces of both lungs are highly 

 congested. The lower lobes particularly present numerous sub- 

 pleural, hemorrhagic areas of an almost black purplish-blue color. 

 Alternating with these are places where the surface is more grayish- 

 pink. The hemorrhagic areas protrude somewhat over the general 

 surface, so that the latter is somewhat uneven. On section the 

 pulmonary tissue is found to be much congested with dark, fluid 

 blood in some parts of the lower lobes this amounts almost to 

 complete red hepatization. Inside these very much congested areas 

 are seen spots of the size of a pea or smaller, which are grayish- 

 red or more decidedly grayish-white. The lower lobes contain very 

 little air, the upper ones a larger amount. The bronchial glands 

 are not much swollen, though greatly congested, softened, and pur- 

 plish-black in color, being somewhat hemorrhagic on section. The 

 mucosa of the bronchi, the trachea, and the larynx is swollen and 

 highly congested. The spleen is enlarged to about twice its normal 

 size; its surface is bluish-purple and its capsule smooth and not 

 very transparent. The cut surface is reddish-brown, uneven and 

 granular, and the pulp protrudes. The trabeculse are distinct; 

 the Malpighian bodies are not. The kidneys are soft and almost 

 gelatinous, their external surfaces being smooth, much congested, 

 and deep purplish-blue. The capsules are transparent and peel off 

 easily. On the cut surface the vessels appear highly engorged, 

 the glomeruli stand out as deeply injected points, the tubules are 

 grayish-white, and the surface as a whole is quite dull. The pyra- 

 mids are much injected. The mucosa of the pelves is congested.
