Autopsy .— Animal is very thin ; muscles pale. Organs all normal, spleen not 
enlarged. Superficial lymphatic glands twice as large as normal, waterv, not con¬ 
gested. Deep glands all much enlarged, about half of them (especially in abdomen 
much congested—almost haemorrhagic. Examination for trypanosomes: Trypano¬ 
somes were found in the blood (jo to a coverslip preparation) only after centrifugalisa- 
tion (five coverslip preparations of uncentrifugalised blood were examined without 
result). 1 hey were also seen (three to a coverslip) in a preparation of gland juice 
obtained from the prescapular gland by a hypodermic syringe before the animal was 
dead; none were seen, however, in nine preparations of the juice of glands from various 
parts of the body made within one to two hours of the animal's death. Many parasites 
were found in the deposit obtained by centrifugalising slightly turbid fluid from 
the pleural (6oc.cm. present), the peritoneal (500c. cm.) and the pericardial 
(35 c.cm.) cavities. It was noted that the trypanosomes seen in these fluids were 
almost invariably attached to a white cell. Forty-five c.cm. of cerebro-spinal fluid 
taken immediately after death was centrifugalised and most carefully examined 
It contained no trypanosomes and no red or white cells, but it was made slightly 
opalescent by a peculiar flocculent material present in small quantities.
