rounding tissue ; each nodule consisted of a fibrous capsLilc 

 containing cheesy matter inside. In both kidneys numerc;us 

 herds of sinapis-hazehiut size, yellowish white in color, hard, 

 fibrous, and even cartilaginous, and prominent over the surface 

 of the organ, which looked knotty and uneven. On the cut 

 surface the herds appeared trapezoidal or pyramidal, some were 

 irregular in form, and they were exclusively situated in the 

 cortical substance. Many small nodules were also found in the 

 depth of the cortex. The right posterior lobe of lung show- 

 ed a circumscribed subpleural thickening ; otherwise lungs 

 were normal. The remaining organs free from nodules or 

 metastasis. 



Microscopically no special microbe could be found in the 

 content of subcutaneous nodules or in the renal herds; the nodule 

 contained fatty detritus mixed with lime, the renal herds consist- 

 ed chiefly of fibrous tissue enclosing some rudiments of uriniferous 

 tubes. 



Inoculation : — Two guinea pigs, inoculated subcutaneously 

 at the inguinal region, with the herds of lungs and kidneys, 

 shoAved no reaction. 



Case iv. 



Bay stallion, 2 years old, observed in June 1888. 



Clinical remarks : — Farcy changes on the lips, the zygo- 

 matic and masseteric region, on the left side of neck, should- 

 er, extremities, praeputium, and also on the chest and abdomen ; 

 only the right side of neck and perineum were free from farcy. 

 Muco-purulent discharge from both nostrils ; the Schneiderian 

 membrane especially on the right side showed exaggerated 

 ulceration. Conjunctiva jiale red, swollen, and covered with 

 purulent secretion. Nutrition bad, extreme emaciation, and dif- 

 ficulty in moving. Temperature 39. 1°C., pulse 68, small and ir- 

 regular, respiration 9, very difficult, and blowing at the nose ; 

 lessened appetite. Physical examination of the chest negative. 

 The horse was destroyed on June i6th, 10 a.m.
