by the clinical observation alone, any deeper lesion can not 

 be explored, and that, the cases, according to the reports, 

 were mostly the slightly affected. Very interesting is that case 

 in which the skin was not affected. The affection of the external 

 genital apparatus, which is common enough, is here absent. The

According to our experience, exposed parts, such as the 

 axillary region, breast, back, &c., and more especially the 

 harness region, are most affected. The most common seats are 

 the breast and the anterior extremities ; in the posterior ex- 

 tremity the disease appears generally at the internal thigli along 

 the course of the saphena. 



SaccJiaroinycosis of nose and respiratory tube : — The affection 

 of these regions appears generally as a complication of cutaneous 

 changes. Here the infection takes place either by aspiration or 

 per continiiitatinii from the skin of the face ; primary nose affec- 

 tion is very rare. When cutaneous farcy is far advanced, it is 

 mostly propagated to the nose cavity, whence to the pharynx, 

 larynx, and trachea, and exceptionally to the larger bronchi, 

 the anatomical changes always decreasing in intensity in a 

 supero-inferior direction. 



Nose affection is generally bilateral ; and the anatomical 

 changes correspond to cutaneous farcy. At first miliary nodules 

 appear in the mucous membrane, mostly in its superficial layer; 

 such young nodules look grey or milky white and, until a certain 

 size is attained, they preserve a spherical form. As they 

 increase in size they become prominent over the mucosa and are
