the preceding case. Swelling of the l}-mphatic gland persisted 

 for a long time, but no abscess was formed, and finally dis- 

 appeared. The 3rd guinea pig (No. 47) inoculated on Dec. 3rd, 

 '89, w itli ulcerative tissue of nose. After inoculation appeared 

 local ulceration covered with bad pus. Death on the lOth day after 

 inoculation. Postmortem section ; numerous gray, transparent 

 nodules of miliary size in lungs. In a 4th inoculated guinea pig 

 (No. 48) changes were nearly the same as in the preceding case. 

 On the 15th clay after inoculation the local swelling subsided, 

 and the skin wound healed. Both inguinal glands, were swollen 

 to finger size ; this swelling gradually disappeared. 



A number of guinea pigs (17) and a horse were inoculated 

 with the pure culture. Tiie guinea pigs showed strong local reac-

 swollen, and partly turned to supi:)uration ; the intermaxillary 

 glands also swollen containing inspissated pus. Lungs showed 

 here and there small Jierds o{ hepatization : in the liver a small 

 metastatic abscess.
