![Liver.—The liver substance was beset with minute, irregular, yellowish grey, necrotic foci; a smear showed no tubercle bacilli. Spleen.—Just beneath the capsule were two nodules composed of soft, grey, translucent tissue ; one was larger than a millet seed, the other the size of a rape seed. A smear from each showed no tubercle bacili. Three guinea-pigs inoculated with an emulsion of the spleen tissue remained healthy. Inguinal glands.—Normal. Summary Tuberculosis of the submaxillary lymphatic glands, due to tubercle bacilli of mammalian type, virulent for a rabbit. Pre XV; Received from Birmingham on March 23rd, 1911, as a case of apparently localised tuberculosis. Aged 14 months. Submaxcillary lymphatic glands——On either side they were slightly enlarged and contained firm caseo-caleareous nodules ranging up to 6 mm. in diameter. A smear showed a few tubercle bacilli. Culture yielded tubercle bacilli of the avian type. Two cuinea-pigs, inoculated with an emulsion of the nodules, developed slight local tuberculosis only; an avian culture was obtained from one, | Mesenteric glands.—N ot received. Lungs.—Just beneath the pleura was a single translucent, miliary tubercle ; microscopically no tubercle bacilli were seen. Otherwise the lungs were normal. Bronchial glands.—In one there was a caleareous grain the size of a rape seed ; a smear showed no tubercle bacilli. Liver.—Normal. Spleen.—One_ slightly enlarged Malpighian body, showing no tubercle bacilli; otherwise normal. Inguinal glands.—N ormal. Summary. Tuberculosis of submaxillary lymphatic glands, due to tubercle bacilli of avian type, virulent fora fowl. Slight evidence of possible dissemination in a bronchial gland. PIG] XVI. Received from Brighton on March, 25th, 1911, as a case of apparently | localised tuberculosis. Submaxillary lymphatic glands.—On one side the glands were moderately enlarged ; one consisted throughout of pinkish, necrotic tissue, beset with caseous, gritty streaks, with a margin of caseous, gritty tissue just beneath the capsule of the gland; other glands contained discrete, yellow, caseous, gritty nodules. On the other side one gland contained a few discrete, yellow, caseo-calcareous tubercles and a single nodule, 1 cm. by 6 cm. composed of caseo-necrotic substance. In a smear tubercle bacilli were moderately numerous: they were fairly thick and showed one or more darkly staining granules. A guinea-pig was inoculated and developed g general tuberculosis. Cultures, obtained direct and through the guinea-pig, yielded tubercle bacilli of mammalian type. Mesenteric g glands.—N ot received.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2901296x_0014.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
