546 Dr. A. Edington. Occurrence of a [Aug. 5 
Post-mortem Examination. 
No petechiz were observable on the conjunctive, nor on the Schneiderian 
membrane, but both were hyperemic. On removing the skin from the 
dependent portion of the thorax and abdomen, yellow solidified cedematous 
material was found, about an inch in thickness, which extended from the 
sternum to the hind legs. | 
The blood was pale in colour, but the coagulation power was little, if at all, 
diminished. 
Muscles.—These were pale in colour and somewhat atrophied. 
Lungs——These organs were slightly cedematous and pale in colour; a 
moderate amount of hypostatic congestion was seen on one side. 
Heart.—The contents of the pericardium were not determinable, as the 
cavity had been accidentally opened during dissection. Both the epi- and 
the endocardium showed numerous petechial hemorrhages, varying in size 
from a pin-point to patches a quarter of an inch in diameter. On the outside 
they were most numerous near the interventricular groove, and on the 
inner side at, and around, the attachments of the chordes tendinez. 
Liver—The organ was fairly normal in size, cedematous in consistence, 
and almost normal in colour. 
Spleen.—This organ was only slightly enlarged, pale on section, and of 
fair consistence. 
Lymphatic Glands.—These were enlarged and cedematous. 
No other organ called for special remark. 
Inoculation Experiments. 
Owing to the difficulty experienced in obtaining animals, the various 
animals dealt with were not all inoculated on the same date. 
Horse-—A horse was injected intravenously with 5 cc. of the blood of 
the infected horse on February 18,1908. The temperature of the animal
