11th of August, 1882, a large cat was inoculated with the liquid

killed on the 4th of July. This cat died the 5th of September, 
with a suppurative tumor of the left testicle and of the inguinal 
glands. On the 5th of September another cat was inoculated 
with a piece of a gland of the cat which died on the 21st of that 
month, with a chancre at the point of inoculation, tumefaction of 
the inguinal glands, and miliary abscesses in the lungs. 
On the 21st of September a third small cat was inoculated 
with pieces of gland from the second. Death occurred on the 
28th, with a chancre at the point of inoculation, nasal ulcers 
perforating the septum, subperiostic abcesses of the nose, pulmon¬ 
ary abcesses, and tumefaction of the axillary ganglions. 
On the 27th of September, while this last cat was yet alive, a 
little bloody serosity taken from its nasal swelling was used in 
inoculating a guinea-pig ; he died on the 28 th of October, thirty - 
one days after inoculation, with a chancre at the inoculated spot, 
a swelling of the inguinal glands of the same side, and pulmonary 
abscesses, surrounded by a hemorrhagic areola.
