The fourth Species is the moft Curious, but very de- 
ceitful, as Furman in his Treatife of the Plague has well 
obferved. fob. Bapt. S it on i us in Mi feel. Med , Curiof. 
Tr. I. calls them Papule livid # , ulcer o fa, & pallid#. jft 
appears with a high Blifter, which is yellowifh, as if it 
contain’d Corruption. About it firft is a red, after- 
wards an AQi or Lead-coloured Circle : The Blifter foon 
falls, and within you fee the Carbuncle hardly of the 
bigneft of a Pepper Corn, which continually eats deeper 
and wider. Thefe are feated upon the Cartil aginous 
Parts : I have found them near the Pit of the Stomach 
upon the Cartilago enfiformk , and upon the fhort 
Ribs. 
All thefe four Species of Carbuncles take deep Root, 
and in the beginning burn very violently, but the two 
former more than tne latter. The Symptoms attending 
them are violent, though not always fenfible, but fo 
much the more dangerous $as generally Reftlefsnefs, De- 
lirium’s, fudden 1 fs of Strength, Pain in the Head and 
Eack, Anxieties, inward burning Heat, Thirft, &c. The 
firft Onlet is frequently attended with a Shivering, bili- 
ous Vomiting, &c. According to the greater or lefs 
Power of the latent Miafma , the Symptoms are always 
more or lefs violent. 
The Petechi# or Malignant Spots, which are at all. 
times, as is well known, very dangerous, did efpecially 
] in this Contagion rage violently. I have obferved of 
them aifofour diftinft Species. The firft look like Flea- 
bites, and therefore have been called by fome Authors 
Puli cares. They break forth reddifh, and foon changing 
their Colour, grow brown, and at laft black. They are 
round, and fpread all over the Body, excepting the Face, 
where they are not always found, 
The fecond Species appears in the Figure of Lentils, 
1] and therefore they are called Lenticulares , and are. 
] likewife at firft: ruddy, but in. about Twenty four 
Hours .■
