to a ruptured capillary vessel, which blood presents the hæmatozoon on microscopical exa-
mination. The raised tumor at the seat of inoculation has considerably diminished in
extent and now it is only a hard lump, the size of a small walnut. Temp. a.m. 41.4 C
Hæmatozoa numerous in the blood. Temp. p.m. 39.7°C.
