cicatrization. According to Dieckcrhoff and others the process 

 is often propagated in the subcutis attended with the swelling 

 of the next lymphatic vessels and glands. Quite recently a 

 similar exanthem prevailed in Kiushu, in which the author has 

 found the same bacilli 3.S discovered by Graivitz in the Canadean 

 horse pox. In our case the eruption was chiefly found on tlie 

 inferior wall of thorax and abdomen, more especially on the scro- 

 tum, and it was complicated with a strong oedematous swelling 

 of subcutis, wliile changes in lymphatic vessels and glands were 

 never observed ; severe cases terminated in death. 



This disease can be distinguished by the shorter course, the 

 stronger infectiousness, by the seat and size of pustules, which 

 are smaller than in farcy, and are situated in the superficial layer 

 of skin {I'ete miicosum), by the absence of cord-like swelling, and 

 finally by means of inoculation and bacteriological researches — 

 guinea pigs are very sensible for the contagiiiiii of Canadean horse 

 pox. 



xvii. LympJiadoiitis in the case of inflaiiiinatioii, 

 suppuration or Jiecrosis of different nature. 



This can be diagnotised by the primary lesion. 



xviii. Osteoporosis of facial bones. 



This is often observed in Japanese liorses especially in 

 the cross-breeds raised at Hokkaido. It can not be confound- 

 ed with saccharomycosis, as in this case there is no cutaneous 

 affection, and the course is very chronic — only liable to the con- 

 founded only with veritable glanders. 



xix. Traumata of Schneiderian membrane. 



In this case wound border and bottom are not much infiltrat- 

 ed and fungoid ulcerations never appear. The wound generally 

 looks flat and smoother than in saccharomycosis. The course is 

 also different. 



XX. Acute catarrli of respiratory passage. 

 This can be distinguished by strong redness of the mucous 



(i) These clinical remarks mainly owe to the report of Assist. Prof. Imai who was 

 sent to tho plague district. The di-tails^ of the investigation, carried on by the author, 

 will be reported in an'>ther ricca<ion.
