If we consider such reactions as local swelling or swelling of 

 the next lymphatic gland without suppuration, as totally nega- 

 tive, and those, which consist of distinct swelling of the lympha- 

 tic gland and extensive local ulceration and abscess-formation, 

 and in whicli culture and microscopical examination were nega- 

 tive, as relative positive reactions, then we obtain the following 

 numbers : —

Relative positive cases were V, Yl, VIII and XXII. The 

 Clinico-anatomical appearances of these cases were shoi tly as 

 follows : — 



Case V, farcy changes in the skin, subcutis, nose, sinus, 

 testicles and Ij'mphatic glands ; internal organs free 

 from affection. 



Case Yl, ditto in a slighter degree (and no change in 

 sinus). One metastatic abcess in the liver. 



Case VIII, ditto in severer degree, and plenty of miliary 

 nodules in the lungs. 



Case XXII, ditto in severer degree, and 2 metastatic herds 

 in spleen. 



From these data we may consider tJicse 4. cases as suspected 

 mixed infection, although the bacteriological researches failed to 

 give a positive result. Also case .XX was probably one of the 

 mixed infection. 



As regards the saccharomycosis , the result of inoculation was 

 mostly negative. In 2 guinea pigs (No. 78-79) which were ino- 

 culated with farcy nodules, appeared local ulceration and sup- 

 puration, in which saccharomyces was for a long time found, in 

 association with different p)'Ogenic bacteria. In No. 85 \vc
