44 THE INDIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY [ II, I

Tuberculous lesions were found in this animal as described below:—

Posterior mediastinal glands congested and enlarged and showed a few minute
yellowish-white caseating tubercles with calcareous deposits. Anterior mediastinal
and bronchial glands entirely caseated. Lungs studded with numerous tubercles of
various sizes. In the right main lobe was present one tubercle, the size of a tennis-
ball, which had a covering of about one-inch of thick yellowish-white, curdy, pus-like
material. Both the anterior lobes pneumonic. Spleen showed a few pea-sized
caseating tubercles.

Smears from the lung lesions and affected glands showed a few acid-fast or-
ganisms.

Two rabbits and two fowls were inoculated subcutaneously with a saline emul-
sion of material from the lesions in doses of 1 c.c. The results were as follows:—

Rabbit No. 33. Inoculated with 1 c.c. of gland emulsion on 29th May 1928.
Died on 7th June 1928 (9th day) of purulent peritonitis and gave negative results
for tuberculosis.

Rabbit No. 32. Inoculated with 1 c.c. of lung emulsion on 29th May 1928.
Died the same day. Result negative for tuberculosis.

Fowl No. 4. Inoculated with 1 c.c. of gland emulsion on 29th May 1928. Des-
troyed 26th July 1928. Result negative for tuberculosis.

Fowl No. 5. Inoculated with 1 c.c. of lung emulsion on 29th May 1928. Des-
troyed 26th July 1928. Result negative for tuberculosis.

                                                       Case 3.

She-goat No. 629.                       Hill-breed.

History. Discontinued from rinderpest experiments on 1st May 1928. Died
on 11th June 1928.

Post-mortem findings. Lungs with right anterior lobe entirely consolidated
with a caseating lesion, the size of a marble. No other tuberculous lesions were
found in this animal.

Smears from the lung lesion showed rare acid-fast organisms.

Rabbit No. 43 was inoculated subcutaneously with 1 c.c. of lung emulsion in
normal saline solution on 11th June 1928. Died on 13th June 1928 of hæmorrhagic
septicæmia, but gave negative results for tuberculosis.

                                                        Case 4.

She-goat No. 86.                          Hill-breed.

History. Discontinued from rinderpest experiments on 29th May 1928. Died
on 15th June 1928.
