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,AVilson 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 1901, 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 was 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). 
Aclhesioois . — In case 93 (of 1902), the spleen was adherent to the 
gut. In case 11 of 1901, it was bound down b}" 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 (AVilson 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, p. 63). Some cases begin with a severe chill, and others 
with more or less chilly shudderings frequently referred to the spinal region; still
