a stiff gait, arched back, frequent cough, short rapid respirations, 
and marked ausculatory symptoms on both sides of the chest. 
The post mortem examination revealed the right lung in the first 
stage of the disease, it being marked upon the surface by conges¬ 
tion of the superficial veins and its consequent collateral oedema. 
The diaphragm was severely congested over a large part of its 
surface. The left lung was consolidated in nearly its entire ex¬ 
tent, while the pleural adhesions were more limited than in the 
previous case. Section revealed the same internal appearance as in 
No. 1. The pericardium was thickened from effusion and covered in 
places with extensive exudation of coagulated lymph. Even after 
the escape of some of the serum from the points of incision, these 
lungs weighed twenty-six pounds. 
No. 3, a small cow, in poor flesh, was the last subject for 
autopsy, and showed symptoms very similar in all respects to No. 
2. The left lung when exposed was for the most part healthy, 
showing only some limited congestions. The costal pleura toward 
the inferior part of the chest was covered with considerable exu¬ 
dation. The right lung was about two-thirds consolidated and 
tirmly attached to the costal pleura. The process in nearly half 
the consolidated part had reached such a stage that the tissue was 
beginning to break down. The unconsolidated tissues were 
marked with congestion.
