496 DISEASE IN WILD MAMMALS AND BIRDS 
exacerbations. From one of the cases a bovine bacillus, 
judging from culture and rabbit virulence, was isolated. 
As a good example of monkey tuberculosis, illustrating 
at the same time a chronic ulcerative pneumonitis with 
cavitation, the f ollomng case is cited : 
Green Monkey {Cercopithecus callitrichus) 9 . Was coughing and 
drooping for two days before death. Chronic ulcerative tuberculosis 
of lungs ^vith cavity formation ; early conglomerate tuberculosis of liver ; 
conglomerate caseous tuberculosis of spleen; early conglomerate tuber- 
culosis of ileum (Peyer's patches) ; acute catarrhal enteritis; miliary 
tuberculosis of right kidney. The animal is well preserved, sleek, with 
a moderate amount of fat. The left pleura is largely obliterated by 
adhesions in the lower portion. As lung is freed it is torn, showing a 
cavity measuring 3x3x4 cm., which is filled with a curdy gray material. 
Cavity has well defined walls. Rest of lower lobe in which this cavity lies 
is solidified, red and edematous and contains numerous conglomerate 
tubercles. Upper lobe practically free of tubercles; shows compensa- 
tory emphysema. The right lung closely resembles the left but lacks 
the cavity. The liver is enlarged, soft and friable, of red oolor, spotted 
yellow. Serous and section surfaces show closely packed early con- 
glomerate tubercles. The spleen is of normal size, soft, has red pulp 
with large conglomerate tubercles which project slightly on the capsule. 
The kidneys are apparently normal except for the presence of two or 
three subcapsular large, solitary tubercles in the right organ. The 
duodenum has thickened walls, mucosa bright, brilliant scarlet hue. In 
the ileum the walls are thickened, mucosa bright red, agminated follicles 
hyperplastic elevated and display several (4-12) mUiary tubercles. These 
may be seen shining through on the serous surface but there is no 
peritoneal tuberculosis. No ulceration of Peyer's patches. Contents 
of large intestine is rather dry and here the mucosa shows exaggerated 
rugae which cannot be smoothed out. Walls are thickened, and ulcera- 
tion, whUe suggested, cannot surely be determined. 
An interesting case of primarj^ tuberculosis in the 
larynx detected at postmortem after a tuberculin injec- 
tion is as follows : 
Black and White Lemur {Lemur varius) 6 . Miliary tuberculosis 
of larynx; perilaryngitis and retropharyngeal lymphadenitis. Killed 
because of unsatisfactory chart after injection of tuberculin. The only 
tuberculous lesion to be found in the body, which is in excellent shape, 
is in and about the larynx. The lesions within are on the epiglottis, 
false and true vocal cords and the main ventricle. On either side of the 
root of the epiglottis, there are a few recent tubercles. The lesion 
in the retropharyngeal lymphatics is recent and diffuse. This is
