("luine.i pigs (No. 8r and 82) wore inoculated, op. Fcbr. 22, 

 with the morbid matter from the inguinal and intermaxillar}^ 

 gland. A slight swelling of the plica gland was observed, but 

 no further changes. 



Inoculation of 6 white rats with inguinal and intermaxillary 

 gland-substances. In 4 of them appeared locally a pea-sized 

 abscess, in which saccharoniyccs could be demonstrated only 

 for a few days ; the wound rapidly healed. 



C.\SE XXIV. 



Black stallion, 12 years old, observed in February, 1893. 



Clinical remarks : — Old meagre horse with purulent mucous 

 discharge from both nostrils ; a few nodes and ulcers on the 

 left flank region near the plica genu. This horse received one 

 injection of mallciii. Died on Febr. 11, p.m., '93; dissected 

 on the I2lh. 



PostiiiortciJi appearance : — Besides the cutaneous and sub- 

 cutaneous changes, we found one miliary nodule in the 

 intermaxillary gland, which was a little enlarged, and partial 

 hepatization in the right anterior lobe of lung. Microscopically 

 saccharoniyccs and a few cocci were found in the subcutaneous 

 nodule, while in the pulmonary and intermaxillary nodules, 

 no saccharoniyccs but diplo-d^nd streptococci, and in the pul- 

 monar}' herd, a number of short thick bacilli, whose nature 

 was not fully determined, but they were distinctly larger than 

 Schiitrj-Loe Jjicr s bacilli. 



Culture experiment as to saccharoniyccs and B. mallei was 

 negatii^e. No inoculation. 



Cask xx\'. 



Light bay stallion, 5 years old, observed in February, 1893. 



Clinical rcmar/cs : — Bad condition : on the left saddle 

 region, behind the shoulder, there was a dollar-sized ulcer, 

 whence a cord-like swelling, which was hard and not fluctuating, 

 leading forward over the shoulder and terminating at the 

 anterior border of the latter ; the intermaxillary glands not 

 swollen.
