The following is a history of the herd of cattle owned by the 
Hudson River State Hospital. On.the 27th of March, 1887, I 
was called to make post-mortem examination on a young cow 
which had died the night previous. Results : On removing skin, 
the tissues appeared to be filled with dark haemorrhagic spots, 
the spleen very much enlarged, and of a very dark color ; the 
abdomen contained a quantity of dark serum; the kidneys 
were dark and ecchymosed. The statement was made by Dr. 
Cleveland that they had lost from ten to twelve head every 
year at different periods in the same manner for a number of 
years.
