Gava, though ftill warm, was confiderably blackifli, 
and near a Coagulation. In opening the upper and* 
middle Cavity, the fcent was offensive, but tolerable 
enough, whereas the Stink, that proceeded from the 
lower Belly, was not to be endur’d without prejudice. 
Jn iome few Carcaffes the Vifcera differ’d frem their 
natural State, with regard to their fize, their confiff 
tence, their contents, colour and fmell. In many of 
them the Paunch was found very much contracted 
and dry’d, with a hard Subffance contain’d in it. In 
others the Lungs were fwell’d and livid, the Liver 
tumined, and the Brain watery and putrid. 
. Upon obferving the abovefaid (late of the Blood 
in the Cattle Dead of this Diftemper, he was deff- 
rous to fee what condition it was in, while the Pick 
Beaffs were yet living Wnh which deffgn having 
order d feveral of them to be blooded, he found the 
Blood not to iffue out of the Veffels in a continued 
Stream, as ulual, but with a broken and interrup- 
tc Flux, one Part of the Blood not immediately 
lucceeding another Having caus’d rhe Blood to be 
receiv’d in proper Veffdls, and fufferd it to Hand for 
lome time, he found it intirely coagulated, without’ 
any Separation of the Serum, and attached to the Tides 
or the Veffels, with a reticular Pellicle upon the Sur- 
face expofed to the Air. All the Cattle which were 
blooded, being Eighteen in Number, died in a few 
days after the bleeding, one only excepted, in which 
the Van was open’d upon its being firff taken ill. 
Having enumerated all the Symptoms of the Dif- 
temper, the Author concludes from the whole, that 
the Sicknefs among the Cattle was a Malignant Peff- 
rentia 1 Fever, killing almoft all thofe that’ were in- 
fected with it.
