The mammary lymphatics are equally hypertrophied and 
they are infiltrated iu their cortical layer with agglomerated 
miliary granulations. 
The sub-lumbar lymphatics have increased in volume and 
are distended with a serosity, but they seem to be free from

abnormal until June 15th. Her temperature has remained nor¬ 
mal, good spirits and appetite, the approach of calving and its

and June 1 and 8 have not caused the slightest hyperthermy.
