white smeary mass (wound secretion + smegma). The right 

 femoral gland swollen and partly turned to abscess ; both 

 inguinal and preputial gland swollen to fist size ; the 

 cut suface greyish white and medullary ; the left testicle 

 contained a walnut-sized Jierd, full of fatty detritus; many 

 miliary to pea-sized nodules in the epididymis. The right 

 epididymis also affected as on the left side ; the testicle 

 contained only a few small nodules. In tlie liver a metastatic 

 abscess of linseed size containing pus boniini : but neither 

 hacmorrhagic nor degenerative zone around it. In the right 

 nose cavity, a linseed-sized nodule. Remaining organs without 

 special changes. 



Culture experiment of pus negative. 



Iiioculatio7i of guinea pigs: — Tlie result nearly the same 

 as in the preceding case. Generally in the first week an acute 

 inflammatory swelling appeared locally, and in most cases from 

 the 5th-7th day followed a swelling of the plica gland with more 

 or less intensity. 



Male guinea pig No. 15, inoculated with the content of a 

 farcy boil, showed slight swelling of plica gland. 



Male guinea pig No. 16, inoculated with farcy product of 

 testicle, sliowed a little stronger reaction. The right plica 

 gland was swollen to iiazelnut size ; the left gland also a little 

 swollen. 



Male guinea pig No. 17, with farcy product of testicle. 

 Local swelling extended over the scrotum. 



In these cases the swelling of lymphatic gland went rather 

 quickly over, and there was no evidence of suppuration. 



f>ioculation of horses: — Bay stallion No. i, 6 years old and 

 apparently healthy. On June 2Sth farcy matter (ulcerative tissue 

 and abscess-content) inoculated in the nose and subcutis (in the 

 nose a scarification was made on the right side of septum nasi 

 and morbid matter was rubbed into it. The subcutaneous inocu- 

 lation was made on the right side of the chest.) On the next 

 day, a strong swelling appeared on the chest, and purulent dis- 

 charge from the nose ; these symptoms persisted for many days, 

 whereby the condition was reduced. On July 14th (19th 

 day after inoculation) the surrounding part of the wound 

 showed an induration : still purulent mucous discharge from the
