![Exp. 348. Goat, Native. This goat, accompanied by her kid, was procured about the beginning of September, 1896, and inoculated in the region of. the left scapula with 5 com. of blood from a dog suffering from Nagana. She was again injected at the same spot with a like quantity on the 25th September. The hsematozoa were only observed on one occasion in her blood. She remained quite healthy until the end of October, when a huge abscess formed starting from the site of the inoculation and extending to the right shoulder and leg. October 26th.—To-day I injected a small quantity of blood from this goat into a healthy dog. Ten days after the dog's blood contained hasmatozoa, and he died on the 22nd day after inoculation. The following chart shows the progress of the case :— Ex p. 348.

I cannot but connect the injection of the Nagana blood with the formation of this abscess. Exp. 349. Goat, Native.
