 ferent. Sometimes nasal saccharomycosis i'^ higher situated or 

 hidden between turbinated bones, and is invisible from the 

 outside. 



Morbus inaailosiis, degcneratio aviyloidea of mucosa of nose 

 {Wolff), retention cysts, haemorrhagic ulcers in the case of 

 pseudoleucaemia, &c., also require to be mentioned for differen- 

 tial diagnosis. 



In all these cases microscopical examination is the safest 

 means of diagnosis, provided that there is no sign of mixed infec- 

 tion. For this purpose pus or any morbid matter should be 

 mounted with the pliysiological solution and examined without 

 staining and with a narrow diaphragm. 



II. In Cattle/^' 



(Saceharomyeosis bovis.) 



About saccharomycosis in cattle my observation is limited. 

 In the year 1890 we had to examine one cattle patient covered 

 with numerous hazel-nut-sized round subcutaneous nodules, which 

 were freely dislocable. According to anaimtcsis , these nodules 

 had existed for a long time, without any progressive or regressive 

 change. For microscopical examination vi^e extracted some 

 nodules and found numerous saccJiaromyces identical with those 

 of the horse. 



Later on, 1893, ^^'"^ received from one veterinarian of 

 Tochiki-ken, similar nodules extracted from cattle patients. 

 According to his information, the clinical symptoms were 

 shortly as follows : — 



"No. I. Bull calf, I year old, of medium condition, suf- 

 fering from skin affection. Subcutaneous nodules of hempseed- 

 hazelnut-size were found on the neck, shoulder, dewlap,

 of bacillus (^Rc'ctiill p. 70, '88.). This seems to be different from the case in point.
