External Appearances. — The body is emaciated. Rigor mortis absent. The hair is 

 staring and has a ragged appearance. There are many patches of eruption on the surface 

 of the body, especially on the face and head. These eruptions are, as a rule, about the 

 size of half-a-crown and resemble limpet-shells. 



Interval Appearances. — On removing the skin, the flesh is seen to be pale in colour. On 

 opening into the abdomen the spleen is seen to be enlarged. The surface of the stomach 

 and intestines is exceedingly pale and yellowish. There is no fluid in the peritoneal 

 cavity. On opening into the thorax no fluid is found in either pleural cavity. There is 

 about a tablespoonful cf bright, chrome-coloured, clear fluid in the pericardium. The 

 anterior mediastinum contains a quantity of bright yellow, jelly-like material. The serous 

 membranes are shining and smooth. 



Lymphatic (Jlands. — -The lumbar chain of glands are enhugod, some of them being the 

 size of a small walnut. These enlarged glands on being cut into are found to be very 

 oedematous, but not hsemorrhagic. The prescapular glands are much enlarged, being 8 cm. 

 (3| inches) in length. 



Circulatory System. — Heart. — The fat of the auriculo-ventricular groove is infiltrated 

 with gelatinous material, whidi is bright yellow in colour. There are no petechiao under 

 the epicardium. On opening into the left ventricle many minute petechia' are seen under 

 the endocardium. The colour of the aorta is bright yellow. The substance of the heart 

 is pale in colour and flabby to the touch. Weighs 125 grammes (4i ounces).

 colour, and across the Huiface is a network of yellow-coloured, cleai-, jelly-like strands, 

 resembling the lung in a case of horse-sickness. The strands in some places are I inch 

 wide. On section the substance is seen to be hcpatised and dark i)urpIo in colour, and 

 across the cut section the Kaine network of j cllow, geIatiiionM-liko material is seen. The
