with hypersemic spots, which along the larger bronchi had 
broken down the lung tissue, and the blood had exuded into 
the air passages, which were consequently filled with foamy 
blood. Some pleurisy on right side. 
v Heart partly filled on both sides with dark liquid blood ; 
cardiac vessels enormously engorged, the auricles presented a 
number of congested spots. Inside in both cavities were a 
large number of congested spots with a considerable amount 
of congestion in the mediastinum, and about the lower part of 
the heart. A considerable quantity of very bloody liquid was 
found inside the pericardium, aud the membrane presented 
many congested spots. The muscular tissue of the heart was 
easily broken down. 
All the blood-vessels of the body were more or less filled 
with liquid blood ; no clots were found anywhere. The blood, 
while very dark in color, presented a peculiar wine color as 
well; and this dark—almost wine color—and fluid condition 
of the blood was characteristic of all these cases. 
Brain presented a few petechial spots on surface and en¬ 
gorgement of all blood vessels. 
This filly was seen alive and apparently quite well, though 
a little dull, on Friday afternoon, and was found dead on Sun¬ 
day morning. 
No. 2.—Mare fifteen years old, was sick when No. i was 
found dead, presenting symptoms described above. In this 
case large doses of hyposulphite of soda were given in drench

then gradually sank and died eight days after first symptoms 
appeared. 
Post-mortem .—Eighteen hours after death, rigor mortis 
slight, sores on two feet, one hind and one forward, also same 
kind of sore on the nose. Large emphysematous swelling on 
right side of the neck just in front of the shoulder, which

which extended down under the shoulder. In this swelling, 
which extended over a space eight to twelve inches in diame¬ 
ter, there was considerable extravasation of blood into the con¬ 
nective tissues. •
