There is a discharge from the nose this morning, but it contains no hæmatozoa. The
serum taken from the inoculated ear is swarming, and the blood taken from the opposite
ear contains numerous hæmatozoa. The red blood corpuscles have run together and
become confluent, so that one cannot discern individual ones.
