serous infiltration, and the local veins were blocked up with 

 tight thrombi. Mucous membrane of the upper resi^iratory tract 

 covered with numerous polypous ulcers and abscesses ; miliary- 

 sized abscesses were seated in the subepithelial tract. The 

 chiefly affected parts were septum nasi on both sides, ethmoidal 

 shells, Eustachian valves, guttural pouches, pharynx, sinus 

 Morgagni, epiglottis, vocal ligament, and trachea down to 

 its bifurcation : ulcers were 2-3 mm. prominent with convex or 

 concave surface ; oii cutting the tissue looked greyish white 

 and medullary, studded with spotty or thready haemorrhages. 

 Lungs emphysematous and free from nodules. Spleen showed 

 hyperplasia of pulpa and on its lateral surface near the basis 2 

 metastatic abscesses, one sinapis and the other linseed in size, 

 containing pus hoiium. Axillary and inguinal glands were 

 enlarged and partly in suppuration : intermaxillary and 

 upper cervical glands were slightl}- enlarged. Scrotum and 

 testicles on both sides contained many nodules of pea-hazelnut 

 size, and in the left testicle, a big node of wal-nut size, a 

 part of which ^vas already softened and turned to a creamy 

 substance. 



/nociilatioii of guinea pigs: — 18 guinea pigs (No. 60-77) 

 were inoculated with various mordid products. Three of these 

 inoculated with farcy-content, showed no special changes. Of 

 the remaining 15, inoculated with the new formation of the 

 nose and testicles and the metastatic herd of the spleen, 12 

 died on the 2nd and 3rd days after inoculation, with symptoms 

 of malignant oedem ; in one of them, inoculated with nasal tissue, 

 we found partial hepatization of lungs, with which another guinea 

 pig was inoculated in order to prove the presence of malleous 

 bacilli ; the latter died of malignant oedem and culture was im- 

 possible. The revived guinea pigs (inoculated with the new 

 formation of nose and testicles) showed a swelling of plica gland, 

 which was gradually resorbed ; in one of. them a walnut-sized 

 abscess in loco iiioculatioiiis ; culture experiment with the content 

 was negative. 



Jiiflciilation of horse : — Morbid matter of testicle was inocu- 

 lated in the subcutis of the left cervical region of a stallion No. 

 9. After inoculation local swelling and suppuration appeared , 

 these symptoms soon subsided, and the wound healed by cica- 

 trization.
