the nose which five days ago appeared clear like water, has now assumed a greenish colour
and has the consistency of white of egg. There are no hæmatozoa in this gelatinous sub-
stance, but a large number of leucocytes. Temp. A.M. 40.8°C. Hæmatozoa very numerous

Temp. A.M. 39.9°C. Hæmatozoa very numerous in the blood. Temp. P.M. 39.6°C.
28th.—The œdema of the abdominal walls, at the most dependent parts, measures :—
(i) From side to side under the sternum l0 3/4 inches in width..
(ii) From side to side in the umbilical region 17 inches in width.
(iii) From side to side in front of the sheath 19 inches in width.
This layer of œdematous material is firm to the touch and is five inches in thickness.
Temp. A.M. 39.2oC. Hæmatozoa very numerous in the blood. Temp. P.M. 39.4ºC.
29th.—Temp. A.M. 39°C. Hæmatozoa very numerous in the blood. Temp. P.M.

30th.— Temp. A.M. 38.2°C. Hæmatozoa very numerous in the blood. Temp. P.M.
39.1°C., 7 P.M.—The animal is very weak and has therefore been placed in slings.
31st. — The animal is very weak and the appetite is poor, but it drinks a large
quantity of water. The blood is pale in colour, and there is a considerable increase in the
number of white corpuscles. Temp. P.M. 39.4ºC. Hæmatozoa very numerous in the blood.

3rd.—Temp. A.M. 39.5°C. Hæmatozoa swarming in the blood. Temp. P.M. 37.4°C.
4th.—Death took place at 5-45 A.M.
AUTOPSY at 10-30 A.M., 4 3/4 hours after death. The body is considerably emaciated,
the limbs are very slightly œdematous, but the skin of the abdomen and scrotum is con-
siderably distended with semi-gelatinous sherry-coloured jelly.
There is no fluid in the pleural cavities and no adhesions of the parietal and visceral
pleurae.
Lungs.—The visceral pleurae present a thickened and sodden appearance with opales-
cent coloured patches on its surface. This appearance is due to the oedema which is lying
in the sub-pleural connective tissue, through which the surfaces of the lungs present a variegat-
ed appearance, the colours varying from a dark purple to a light pink. The upper lobes
of both lungs are the seat of well marked localized emphysema, and the free borders also
present circumscribed patches in the same condition. The lungs are large and fully distend-
ed with air. On passing the hand over the surface of the organs, several hard tumors
irregular in outline are felt. On section the colour of the organs is peculiar, but corresponds
with that observed in the same organs in several other Surra cases, viz., orange, but there
are some small circumscribed patches here and there, some pink and others yellow in colour.
On pressure frothy blood-stained mucus exudes from the cub surfaces. The hard tumors
above mentioned are calcareous bodies which, on section, contain caseous material.
Heart.—Is large, the tissues are pale but firm, presenting quite 1/3rd inch to ½ inch of
the sherry-coloured jelly lying under the visceral pericardium and running down the course
of the two coronary arteries. The right side of the heart is flaccid, containing a few small
