 over the surface of the mucous membrane, often in large numbers, 

 and may sometimes occur in rows. Sometimes this chronic indura- 

 tive inflammation may form patches of thickening a finger's length 

 in extent and several centimeters broad, standing out like cushions 

 in marked relief, sometimes of dull grayish-yellow color or mottled 

 with bright red points, and their smooth surface covered with a 

 viscid pus. Occasionally warty, soft, raspberry-colored, projecting 

 granulations are found grow'ing from the mucous membranes.

 areas of connective tissue, merging into the pulmonary structure, 

 involving numerous lobules and changing them into a dense mass, 

 and cutting with a tough, leathery resistance. On the inside of such 

 areas are met dull yellow, ochre-colored, moist cheesy or dry 

 plaster-like deposits.

 catarrhal, suppurative or croupous types, and as a sclerosing form ;
