Cow No. 86 of Marienborg had a normal parturition on 
November 6, 1906. On May 6, 1907 the uterus is very much 
enlarged and contains several liters of a purulent excretion, 
which is removed. On July 8 the uterus is a little larger than 
normal, has thick and hard walls and contains a small amount 
of secretion. The os uteri externum is much larger than 
usual, open, injected and secernating. The mucosa of the 
canal is so swollen that it forms a cone which again is sur- 
rounded by the folds of the cervix mucosa. The latter in

this case is not very much increased in size, and its folds pass 
smoothly into the mucosa of the vagina. (Fig. 3.) 
Cow No. 32 of Wilhelmsborg demonstrates the same con- 
ditions very well. She had a calf in the spring 1907 and pretty 
soon after was regarded as nymphomaniac. On July 2 the 
uterus was a little enlarged, the portio vaginalis very much 
swollen and the cervical canal wide open. Its mucosa formed 
a cone in the opening of the orificium and was surrounded 
with the radial folds of the cervix. There were cysts in the 
ovaries. (Fig. 4.)
