Inoculated subcutaneously over both Scapular Regions with 1 c.c. of blood taken from the
ventricles of the heart of Horse No. XXX, sixteen hours after death. One cubic centi-
metre was injected on the right side from the right ventricle ; and one cubic centimetre
was injected on the left side from the left ventricle. No hæmatozoa were observed on careful
microscopical examination of the injected blood.
17th.—The animal appears healthy, the appetite is good and the evacuations natural.
The seat of inoculation on the left side presents considerable swelling and oedema over an
area of 15" × 12", accompanied with tenderness on pressure. The seat of inoculation on the
right side presents a slight œdematous swelling l.5".x 1". There is no tenderness on
pressure. The conjunctival membranes are clear, and there are no hæmatozoa in the blood.

20th.—The swelling and oedema at the seat of inoculation on the left side has increased,
but that on the right side is being rapidly absorbed. Temp.A.M. 37.2°C. The hæmatozoa
are absent from the blood. Temp. p.m. 38°C.
21st.—This morning the swelling on the left side has again increased in amount. Temp,

The oedema on the right side is disappearing rapidly, and since the escape of the fluid the
swelling on the left side is much smaller. Temp. A.M. 37.6°C. There are no hæma-
tozoa in the blood. Temp. P.M. 37.6°C.
23rd.—This morning the oedema on the right side has almost entirely disappeared, only
leaving a tumor at the seat of inoculation 3" X 2", which is tense and tender on manipula-
tion. The oedema on the left side and fore-limb has disappeared and the swelling is smaller
in size; the discharge continues. Temp. A.M. 36.7°C. There are no hæmatozoa in the
blood. Temp. P.M. 36.7°C.
