The adrenals were hypoplastic, and there were ecchymoses on the 

 leptomeninges. 



5. (1980.) A 7-year-old boy died of streptococcus septicaemia, 

 the duration of his illness being given as three days. The fever 

 in this case along with the enlargement of the superficial lym- 

 phatic glands led to the clinical diagnosis of probable bubonic 

 plague. He had a 30-gram thymus and hyperplasia of the lym- 

 phoid tissue of the pharyngeal ring, intestine (duodenum and 

 ileum), mesenteric, inguinal, axillary, and cervical lymphatic 

 glands. Epicardial ecchymoses were also present. 



6. (1982.) A 9-year-old boy died with slight broncho-pneumo- 

 nia, the duration of illness being given as twelve days. He was 

 also suspected of having plague for the same reasons mentioned 

 in the previous case. He had a 40-gram thymus and hyperpla- 

 sia of the lymphoid tissue of the pharyngeal ring, spleen, and 

 inguinal and axillary lymphatic glands. 



7. (971.) A 25-year-old male, whose duration of illness could 

 not be ascertained and on whom no clinical diagnosis could be 

 made, had chronic pulmonary tuberculosis with haemorrhage. 

 He also had a 22-gram thymus and hyperplasia of the lymphoid 

 tissue of the pharyngeal ring, intestine (ileum and colon), and 

 mesenteric, retroperitoneal, and femoral lymphatic glands. 



8. (1920.) A 3-year-old boy, who was ill six days with unde- 

 termined diagnosis, had slight pleural and intestinal tuberculosis. 

 In addition, he had a 50-gram thymus and marked hyperplasia 

 of the lymphoid tissue of the pharyngeal ring, intestine (duo- 

 denum, ileum, and colon), spleen, and inguinal and femoral 

 lymphatic glands. Epicardial, pleural, and gastric ecchymoses 

 were also present. 



9. (1845.) Another 3-year-old boy, who was said to have been 

 ill fourteen hours, had general glandular and intestinal tubercu- 

 losis. In addition, he had a 25-gram thymus and hyperplasia 

 of the lymphoid tissue of the tonsils, spleen, and intestine. 



10. (1761.) A 1-year-old male, ill two hours, supposed to have 

 had nephritis and rachitis, had an "abnormally enlarged" thy- 

 mus, hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissue of the pharyngeal ring, 

 spleen, intestine, and mesenteric Ijonphatic glands. He had also 

 a dilated heart and rachitis. 



11. (1901.) A 7-year-old boy, who was ill three days and died 

 suddenly, had a "large" thymus, hyperplasia of the lymphoid 

 tissue of the pharyngeal ring and spleen, and an acute gastro- 

 enteritis.
