In hemoglobinuria of cattle the follicles are seldom distinct. 
Size . — The size and weight of the spleen on post-mortem have been reported as 
follows: 
7 ounces after 4 hours in paper, case No. 107, Wilson and Chowning, 1903a, 
page 48. 
9 ounces, case No. 94, Wilson and Chowning, 1903a, page 58. 
17 ounces, after 12 hours in paper, case No. 3, Wilson and Chowning, 1903a, page 54. 
22 ounces, after 8 hours in paper, case No. 91, Wilson and Chowning, 1903a, page 53. 
25 ounces, after 12 hours in paper, case No. 107, AVilson and Chowning, 1903a, 
page 48. 
3 times normal weight, case No. 97, AA'ilson and Chowning, 1903a, page 56. 
20 ounces, 1 hour after removal, case No. 120, Anderson, 1903c, page 33. 
In cases of 190T, it was enlarged in Nos. 3, 7, 10, and 11; dullness 
was increased in case 5, but not obtainable in case 8. 
Comparison. — The spleen is enlarged in Texas fever (very much enlarged, hence 
the name splenic fever), in hemoglobinuria in cattle, and in carceag in sheep, and is 
often 3 to 4 times natural size in canine piroplasmosis. 
Color . — The spleen is reported as dark in cases 91, 94, 107, 120; very dark in cases 
93, 97. 
In 1901 the spleen of case No. 11 on post-mortem tvas of a slaty 
purple in color. 
Comparison. — In Texas fever the spleen is reported as dark brownish-red, dark in 
hemoglobinuria of cattle; in canine piroplasmosis it is reported as “pale, bloodless, 
like other organs; scarcely stains paper when smeared thereon” (Robertson); Nut- 
tall observed little change; in France it is dark. 
Capsule . — The capsule of the spleen is reported as stretched and thin in cases 89, 
91, 93, 107; it stripped easily in cases 94, 97. 
Comparison. — In Texas fever the ordinarily rather thick whitish capsule is 
very much distended and attenuated, so that the dark pulp shows through it very 
distinctly. 
Pulp . — The spleen pulp is reported as soft and diffluent in cases 89, 91, 93^ 107, 120; 
almost fluid and deep red in case 97; decidedly diffluent, of deep yellowish-red color, 
in case 94. 
In case 11 of 1901, the spleen was soft and easily torn. 
Comparison. — In Texas fever the pulp may be firm or it may be partly diffluent, 
welling out as a semifluid mass from the incised retracting capsule. It is reported 
as soft in carceag and canine piroplasmosis ( France). 
Adhesions .- — In case 93 (of 1902), the spleen was adherent to the 
gut. In case 11 of 1901, it was bound down by posterior adhesions, 
and adhesions to stomach. 
In case 107 the portion of the omentum covering the spleen was darkened and 
apparently disintegrating; in case 89 it was dark, congested, and soft; in case 91 it 
was pale and apparently normal; in case 93 it did not differ from the omentum else- 
where (Wilson and Chowning, 1903a, pp. 48, 51, 54). 
TEMPERATURE. 
CHILL. 
Idaho . — During the first week following the malaise the patient complains of chilly 
feelings (Bowers, 1896, jr. 63). Some cases begin with a severe chill, and others 
with more or less chilly shudderings frequently referred to the spinal region; still
