ulcers. The lungs csp. tlic anterior lobes and anterior part of 

 posterior lobes contained numerous tiodules, linseed-sinapis- 

 millet in size, their number var}'ing from 3-4 in one cubic centi- 

 metre to I in every 2 cubic centimetre of the parencliym. They 

 showed quite characteristic features of true malieous nodules. 

 The intermaxillar}-, axillary, inguinal and pubic glands, especial!)- 

 on the left side, showed medullary swelling, but were free 

 from nodules ; the remaining internal organs also free from 

 malieous changes. Under the microscope we found a few sac- 

 charoinyccs in the content of the farcy boils, while in the 

 pulmonar\- nodules and nasal ulcers only baci/hi.s mallei and 

 no saccJiaromyccs- 



Culture experiment : — On glycerine-agar we obtained a 

 a i)ure culture of bacillus mallei. As regards the saccharomyccs, 

 culture experiment was negative (for this purpose we employed 

 different media with the addition of different ingredients, different 

 sorts of sugar, peptone, organic acids, &c.) 



Cask x.\\'jii. 



Baj' stallion, over 20 years old, purchased on March 13, 

 '94, for experimental purposes. 



Clinical remarks : — Reduced condition ; fdrc)' nodes on the 

 breast and pectoral region, extending from the inferior part of 

 canalis j'ugularis sinistcj-, downwards along the margin of pectoral 

 muscle and the course of spur vein on the left side as far as the 

 nevcau of cartilago xyphoidea. These nodes were situated in 

 the subcutis, hard to the touch and easil)' dislocable, neither 

 painful nor liot. 



W'e extirpated 3 nodes, which were encapsuled with a thin 

 fibrous membrane containing an inspissated cream\- matter. 

 Under the microscope we found that, the content was fattj' 

 detritus composed of fatty granules, fat dro[)S, lime corpuscles 

 and elementary granules, and a few degenerated sac- 

 cJiaroviyces, partly broken or shrunken and apparentl}- empty. 

 The lime corpuscles had the same size as the saccharoviyccs and 

 appeared to be the remains of the latter ; otherwise free from 

 ger.ms. 



Culture cxperimoit was Ji eg alive.
