formed his work, which was that of carting, in a satisfactory 
manner. Re had never manifested symptoms of general disease^ 
and had' always fed well and kept in good condition. 
Five months previous to his being sent here, the owner noticed 
the appearance of several little nodules, about the size of a pea, 
on the left side of the neck. These ulcerated and ran together, 
forming a raw granulating surface. In a short time other nodules 
developed on various parts of the integument covering the head, 
neck and face, all of which passed into a state of chronic ulcer¬ 
ation. 
At the time of examination, a large ulcerating surface was 
observed on the right side of the face, extending from the inter¬ 
maxillary space to the upper border of the nostril, and from the 
commissure of the mouth to about three inches below the orbit. 
The ulcer was covered with greyish, hard, adherent scabs, which, 
when removed, revealed an uneven surface, covered with rugged 
depressions. The alae of the nostril had been destroyed, and the 
diseased process extended in as far as the lachrymal opening. The 
mucous and submucous tissues had been involved, and the sore 
here presented ragged, everted edges of a violet or purple hue. 
Eroded surfaces similar to this, but smaller in size, were 
found between the ears and on the left side of the face and neck. 
On the left side of the neck was a patch of skin, devoid of 
hair, somewhat depressed in the center, with the surrounding in¬ 
tegument drawn up, so that the whole presented the appearance 
of a cicatrix resulting from a burn. The surface contained several 
little tubercles, covered with a branny epidermic desquamation, 
firm and painful to the touch. According to the owner, tuber¬ 
cles similar to these had invariably preceded the ulcerative pro¬ 
cess in other parts of the head and neck.
