Melanosis in the Dog. 



Simple melanosis is very rare in the dog. Nevertheless, 

 Kolesnikofif observed six cases and claims to have found 

 striated muscular fibers in them. Kitt found them in the 

 neck, and melanotic sarcomata vi^ere observed in the region

 melanosis can be transferred from the horse to the dog by 

 inoculation.
