parasite can be seen. In the mucus from the smaller tubes 
a few of the adult worms occur, and on spreading it out on 
glass slips, and examining with a low power, a few ova and 
free embryos are seen. 
“ Blood of heart and veins contains no parasites, 
“Nothing abnormal in the stomach or intestines; a 
large specimen of tenia elliptica in the latter, also a few as- 
carides. 
“CASE 6.—A thin, badly nourished dog pup, six months 
old. Lungs present numerous patches of consolidation, in- 
volving on the right side the lower half of the anterior lobe 
and a large piece of the posterior lobe. On the left side 
the free borders of the anterior and middle lobes for almost 
two inches from the margin, and a broad strip along the 
upper part of the posterior lobe. 
“Trachea and bronchi healthy; mucous membrane of 
the tubes in the affected parts congested, but no parasites 
in the membrane or in the lung-tissue. 
“Stomach and intestines appear natural ; a few ascarides 
in the latter. Nothing abnormal found in the blood. 
“CASE 7.—Dog pup, seven months old. The autopsy, 
which was made at the same time as the previous case, re-

organs. The tzenia elliptica and five or six ascarides in the 
jejunum. 
“Case 8.—A fine, well-grown dog pup, eight months 
old. Had been ill a week. 
“Lungs contain pneumonic areas of considerable extent; 
in the right involving the entire apex with the denendent 
border, and a small portion of the posterior lobe near the 
diaphragm. In the left lung almost the whole of the 
middle lobe, and the root of the posterior, are especially 
affected.
