    which moderately numerous tubercle bacilli were found. A fourth small gland was almost replaced by an aggregation of calcareous granules, On the other side there was one enlarged gland containing a mass of caseo-necrotic tissue with a fine calcareous network. Ina smear one tubercle bacillus was seen. Two other glands contained small calcareous granules less than a millet seed. A fourth was normal. Two guinea-pigs inoculated developed general tuberculosis. Cultures obtained direct and througa one of the guinea-pigs were of mam- malian type. Mesenteric glands.—Three showed in each a ininate calcareous granule; the rest were normal. Lungs.—Normal. Bronchial glands.—One contained a minute calcareous tubercle ; the rest were normal. Liver.—There were scattered, irregular, necrotic foci in which no tubercle bacilli were found. Portal glands.—One showed two small yellowish tubercles. A second contained a miliary calcareous granule. Spleen.--Normal. Inguinal glands.—Normal. Summary. Tuberculosis of submaxillary lymphatic and mesenteric glands due to tubercle bacilli of mammalian type, virulent for guinea-pigs and a rabbit. Slight evidence of dissemination in bronchial and portal glands, Pie. Ree NETS Received from Birmingham on January 6th, 1912, as a case of apparently localised tuberculosis. Aged about 12 months. ¢ Submaxillaru lymphatic glands.—On the left side was one moderately enlarged gland containing numerous, mainly discrete, soft, caseous, slightly gritty, miliary tubercles, easily shelling out of the gland tissue. A few of the tubercles had coalesced, forming a nodule the size of a pea. Two smaller glands were similarly affected. On the right side there were two slightly enlarged glands which contained small nodules similar to those on the left side. ‘Two slands were normal. A few tubercle bacilli were found in smears from some of the lesions. Cultures obtained direct from the sub- maxillary glands were avian in type. Three guinea-pigs inoculated with emulsions of the lesions showed no naked eye evidence of tuberculosis, but in the spleen of one tubercle bacilli were demon- strated and an avian culture was obtained from it; cultures were obtained also from the spleens of the other two guinea-pigs. Mesenteric glands.—Normal. Lungs.—Normal. Bronchial glands.— Normal. Liver.—Sparsely scattered, irregular, necrotic foci were found in the substance. Portal glands.—Normal. Snleen.-—Normail.
