next morning was as lively as before. The fceces kept tolerably 
consistent; no ova were found on subsequent examinations. 
During the third week there were no special symptoms to attract 
attention; the food was taken very well, and superficial observa¬ 
tion would have judged the calf to be healthy. The temperature 
kept up was over 103° and on two days above 104°. The pulse 
decreased in rapidity, sinking below 100, the range being from 
86 to 95. In the 4th week the temperature was above 104° on 
five days, and the pulse was a little quickened. There were no 
intestinal symptoms; muscles not stiff, and beyond a slight weak¬ 
ness, the animal did not appear very ill. During the fifth and 
sixth weeks the status quo was maintained ; temperature, between 
103° and 104°; pulse, about 90. During part of the Christmas 
vacation the daily record was not kept. In the seventh week no 
special change; food was taken well and the animal was active. 
It had got thinner, but this may have been owing to an insuf¬ 
ficient supply of nourishment. On January 12th, fifty-one days 
after the feeding, the animal was killed, as it was thought that 
the cysticeri would be fairly well developed. Post-Mortem . — 
Body somewhat wasted; panniculus adiposus thin. The general 
lymph glands were much swollen. Apart from the presence of 
the measles, nothing abnormal was found, so that the record may 
be limited to an account of their distribution. In the abdomen they 
were numerous in the omentum and in the fatty capsules of the 
kidneys. The liver was almost free : only two were found. Each 
kidney contained six or eight. In the thorax, none; in pleura, a 
dozen or more in each lung; in the heart, tolerably numerous, 
particularly in the right ventricles. They were very evident 
beneath both peri and endo-cardium. The voluntary muscles 
were, as usual, the favorite locality, and presented a moder¬ 
ately abundant infection. The diaphragm did not contain very 
many; the tongue was in places thickly studded, and they could 
be easily seen beneath the mucous membrane; of the skeletal 
muscles those of the tiiorax and back were most affected, and 
every muscle contained several examples. 
As regards their obvious characters, the cysts were ovoid, with 
semi-translucent appearance, and usually a central opaque spot.
