and will now describe the results of the autopsy held on a ho< 
October 26, 1886. Subject, Large hog about nine months old 
color, black, and in fair condition. Around the head were to b 
seen some tumifications, characterized by being even darker thai 
the skin of the hog, and of a bluish red shade. Along the at

fusely in surrounding tissue. On cutting through the skin tli 
paniculus adiposus was marked by numerous diffuse reddish blui 
spots, and a dark blue red fluid flowed from the cut blood vesseki

colored fluid in which numerous floculi floated; large intestine 
agglutinated together with a quantity of floculent lymph, am
