normal to the bone-marrow, and when extramedullar is typical of 
leukemia. Lymphocytes and polymorphs were strikingly decreased. 
Of the latter those with red granules and the mast cell were rare. 
Mitoses of the large mononuclear were common. The red blood cells 
appeared to be poor in hemoglobin and showed anisocytosis, 
poikilocytosis and polychromatophilia. These cytoplasmatic changes 
were usually associated with an increase in the size of the nucleus. 
Premature red blood cells, normoblasts and megaloblasts were present in 
large numbers.

AUTOPSY PROTOCOL. 
The animal was of medium size; the weight was not taken. 
External Appearance-—Comb, featherless area about eyes, and 
wattles of an ash color. Buccal mucous membrane and conjunctive, 
very pale. Anterior chamber of left eye filled with an old blood- 
clot. Right eye normal. A moderately firm slightly nodular tumor, 
3.7 x 2 x 1.5 cm., occupied the triangular space on the left side of 
head between the angle of the mouth, ear and angle of the lower jaw, 
extending below the ramus of the latter. Subcutaneous fat was 
practically absent. LEmaciation was extreme and there was marked 
muscular atrophy. A second, slightly smaller tumor, 1.7 x 1 x 1 cm.; 
was found just inside the ramus and below the orbit, apparently 
communicating over the ramus with the first growth and continuous 
below with a slightly larger, third mass.* 
Cervical Lymph-glands—Somewhat enlarged. Lobulation indis- 
tinct. 
* A more detailed description and study of these tumors will be reserved 
for a future communication.
