centres. Swollen lymphatics were also present at the other seats 
of ulceration, and could be traced to the adjoining lymph-glands, 
which were swollen, and also presented yellowish-white centers. 
There were numerous ulcerations with swollen indurated edges in 
the mucosa of the nose, and at the base of the ulcerations numer¬ 
ous gray or yellow noduli were to be seen. The submaxillary 
glands contained nodules the size of a bean, full of yellowish cen¬ 
ters. The mucosa of the anterior face of the epiglottis contained 
an ulcer about the size of a ten-cent piece, with jagged, indurated 
edges. Numerous noduli of various sizes were present in the 
lungs, the larger being formed by a confluence of smaller ones 
composed of grayish clouded centers, surrounded by a reddish 
circle of tissue. Noduli were also present in many muscles of the 
body, and also nodes filled with a yellowish-white or grayish ma¬ 
terial, which in some cases assumed a fluid character. The re¬ 
sults in the older animal being so confirmatory, it was resolved to 
kill the younger one, which at this time was very much emaci¬ 
ated. The following is the result of the autopsy : Extensive ul¬ 
cerations of the point of inoculation, yielding a profuse yellowish- 
white secretion; the ulcers on the back of the nose were about 
the size of a silver dollar, and extended to the underlying osseous 
tissue; a somewhat smaller ulcer was present over the frontal 
bone, its base being covered with a haemorrhagic mass. Several 
small ulcers were also present on the skin of the near hind leg, 
and one on the sheath. The ulcers on the neck were connected 
with the axillary glands by lymphatics of great thickness, with 
nodular enlargements along their course. These noduli were 
partly within and partly external to the vessels, and contained a 
puriform fluid. The axillary glands were soft in consistence, and 
about the size of a hen’s egg, and numerous grayish-yellow centers 
existed in their substance. The ulcerations on the walls of the 
thorax extended through the skin into the muscles, and swollen 
indurated lymphatics could be traced leading from them to the 
axillary glands. The ulcers in the flanks were flat, and the ad¬ 
joining tissues much infiltrated. The right axillary gland was 
soft and about the size of a hen’s egg, vascular and reddish in 
color. The left was not so much swollen. The subcutaneous
