Professor Hyde, of the Geneva Medical College, kindly 

 promised to assist me in making post mortem examinations 

 of the several patients — hut necessary absence from home 

 prevented it from being attended to imtil it was too late. I 

 regretted this less, because it is well known that in all such 

 cases, the post mortem appearances are irregular, unsatisfac- 

 tory, and not characteristic of the special disease. 



Two later cases occurred in the same flock, from the bites 

 inflicted on the night of the 24th of December — in the last 

 of February or first of March, according to my present recol- 

 lection ; but I can not speak with certainty, having given my 

 memoranda to an Agricultural Editor. The general course 

 of the disease was the same. The last animal exhibited 

 peculiar violence, fighting a stick thrust toward her with a 

 ferocity resembling that of an enraged dog; and, unlike its 

 predecessors, it constantly uttered short, angry bleats when 

 making its attacks. It remained equally furious after it was 

 unable to rise.
