their dark hue. Temp. A.M. 37°C. No hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 37.5°C. The urine is turbid, yellowish-brown
in colour. Sp. Gr. 1,036. Alkaline. NO albumen. Temp. 5 P.M. 38°C.
From the 3rd until the 18th there was no change in the condition of the animal, there being only a slight
thickening of the skin at the seat of inoculation on the latter date. No hæmatozoa were observed in the blood.
19th.—The animal was subcutaneously inoculated on both scapular regions with blood taken from another
specimen of the carp (Barbus carnaticus). Temp. A.M. 37.8°C. No hæmatozoa. Temp. P.M. 38.4°C. The urine is
turbid, greenish-yellow in colour. Sp. Gr. 1,040. Alkaline. No albumen. Temp. 5 P.M. 38.7°C.

before described. Temp. A.M. 36.1°C. No hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 38.2°C.; 5 P.M. 38°C.
21st.—There are several bright-coloured ecchymoses on the conjunctival membranes, but the swellings at the points
of inoculation, which yesterday were so well marked, are this morning reduced in size. Temp. A.M. 36.7°C. NO
hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 37.8°C.; 5 P.M. 38.1°C.

From the 23rd November until the 30th November, there was no change in the condition of the animal, and no
hæmatozoa were observed in the blood, but on the latter date a few dark-red ecchymoses appeared on the membranæ
nictitantes.
From the 1st December 1891 until the 8th March. 1892, the animal remained in good health, and no hæmatozoa
were observed in the blood.
On the 9th March 1892, in order to test whether any protection had been afforded to the animal by the 3 previous
inoculations with soiled fish blood, the animal was inoculated subcutaneously over the left scapular region with 1 c.c.
of blood swarming with hæmatozoa drawn from the internal jugular vein of Horse No. LV (Horse Surra ). Temp. A.M.
37.5°C., P. 36., R. 24. No. hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 38.2°C.; 5 P.M. 38.3°C.

11th.—Small tumour at the seat of inoculation, the size of a small walnut 1¼" in diameter. Temp. A.M. 37.4°C., P.
50, R. 24. No hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 38.3°C. ; Temp. 5 P.M. 38.4°C.
12th.—The tumour at the seat of inoculation is somewhat increased in size. Temp. A.M. 38.1°C., P. 52, R. 24.

13th.—The tumour at the seat of inoculation is considerably increased in size, upper end 4"×2½" and lower end
4"×1½", length of swelling from upper to lower point 7". Conjunctival extravasations are numerous in both eyes.
Temp. A.M. 38.3°C., P. 92, R. 26. No hæmatozoa. Temp. 1 P.M. 39.1°C. ; 5 P.M. 39.2°C.
