EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN JOURNALS. 
The anterior half of the pulmonary lobes had a greyish-red 
tint and was somewhat firm ; thesd altered parts of the lungs 
sunk in water. On a surface of a section of the atelectasic parts 
of the lung, were seen numerous yellowish spots surrounded by 
a clear zone quite distinct from the surrounding parts. The 
yellow center of these nodosities could be easily removed, and 
when of certain dimensions,they would leave little depressions with 
smooth walls. The surface of a section made through the parts 
of the lungs closed to the bronchia (large or of medium size) 
presented the same characters. 
Fresh sections of the little spots, examined with the micro¬ 
scope, showed the larger and smaller bronchite to be the seat of 
peculiar alterations. The walls of the bronchial and the peri¬ 
bronchial connective tissue were sclerotic and formed the clear 
zone which surrounded the spot mentioned above. 
The cavity of the bronchise was filled with epithelial and 
round cells—detached white blood cells—separated by quite large 
corpuscles; these cells were of a brown color and had a star shape. 
The corpuscles were abundant in a fresh section and always pre¬ 
sented the same sharp form. 
The parenchyma of the lung was atelectasic behind the bron¬ 
chia obliterated by the masses of cells. Upon the tracheal mucous 
were also seen numerous spores of tilletia, especially upon the 
ulcerated spots. 
The contents of the intestines were not examined with the 
microscope, but on the food and bedding of the patient, numerous 
vegetations of tilletia caries were found. No doubt, the spores 
of this fungus were the cause of the suppurative bronchitis.—

FORM OF RABIES DEVELOPED IN A DOG AFTER GREAT EXCITEMENT. 
In May, 1871, during one afternoon, a dog of quiet disposition 
had played with the children of his master, who excited him and 
made him run until he was entirely exhausted. The next day he 
was shown to Mr. Cagny, Veterinary Surgeon. He found the 
dog dull, very irritable, lying back in its kennel, and without
