in the subcutaneous connective tissue. All were negative, except 
one, which was made with the fluid of a third culture. A rabbit 
killed accidentally by a dog, on the 33d day, showed in the lung 
a few tubercles of true histological character. But when cats 
were inoculated in the peritoneum, the results were different. 
Here, again, the animals died from exhaustion, after a month of 
captivity, during which time they were constantly fed on well- 
cooked meat. The first cat which died had enormous intestinal 
ganglions, even caseous in some places ; but at that time the tu¬ 
berculosis was not yet generalized. After scraping with a scalpel 
a section of the ganglions, the pulp and the serosity were inocu¬ 
lated in the ears of eight young rabbits, all of whom became- 
tuberculous. After two months the infection was general, the 
lungs and spleen being filled with grey tubercles. The first rab¬ 
bits killed were used for the inoculation of a second series of 
rabbits, which all present now the symptoms of tuberculosis. 
Two rabbits of the first series will be preserved until they die,, 
in order to furnish the last and final lesions for examination.'’

ACUTE JAUNDICE OF SHEEP. 
By Pro!* 1 . Roloff. 
Researches made at the Veterinary School of Berlin have 
proved that acute jaundice in sheep fed with hay containing lupine 
may be sometimes compared to the acute yellow atrophy of the 
liver, and at others to the acute intoxication of phosphorus. An 
imals succumb after one or two weeks, or but partially recover, 
with an atrophy of the liver. Less frequently their recovery is 
complete. When fed for a long time with samples of lupine, whose 
dangerous properties are less active, an interstitial hepatitis fol¬ 
lows. The urine contains biliary coloring matter; is almost 
always albuminous, and contains often hyaline or granular cysts. 
It is, however, a remarkable fact, that notwithstanding the fre¬ 
quently enormous atrophy of the liver, the urine does not cease 
to contain urea or hypuric acid, but neither leucine nor tyrosine
