STUDY OF PULMONARY GLANDERS.

one and one-half to two per cent, within the last half dozen 
years and more. 
Last year I inspected for a single steamship line, the 
Warren Line, 45,415 cattle, of these 117 (about one-third of 
one per cent.), died on board ship, but of this small number 
the death of at least fifty of them was caused by bruises re¬ 
ceived on the cars, and which did not show in the excitement 
of loading. None of the cars have cleats on their floors, so 
they soon become very slippery ; only a few have division 
boards, which are seldom, if ever, used, the consequence is 
that when the air-brakes are suddenly set, the whole car load 
is piled on top of one another. Imagine this occurring to a 
load of heavy, soft-footed distillers, often weakened by confine¬ 
ment, idleness, thirst and exposure both hot and stormy 
weather, then decide whether it is the duty of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry to take cognizance of such a state of things, 
and make special efforts in their behalf or not. 
STUDY OF THE PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY OF PULMONARY 
GLANDERS.

C.—Glanders Lobular Pneumonia. 
The tubercle does not constitute the only anatomical 
expression of chronic pulmonary glanders, for at times 
glanders lobular pneumonia are found. These lesions are 
manifested on the surface of the lung, under the form of irreg¬ 
ularly disseminated centers, of very variable dimensions, yel¬ 
lowish in color, and when recent, surrounded by a zone of se¬ 
vere congestion. Their section shows a dirty white surface, 
uniform and granular, with irregular outlines, bounded by a 
hepatized tissue of a dark red color. The center which ap¬ 
pears has a cone with its basis sub-pleural, which reminds one 
of an infarctus of purulent infection.
