    Small Intestine. 228. Portion of small intestine, with numerous minute, round, and oval masses of tubercle in the tissue of its peritoneal coat and in the adjacent part of the mesentery. The portions of the peritoneum between the tubercles appear healthy. St. Bart.’s PIosp. Museum, 1879. Tuberculous Ulceration. 229. The specimen shows a very early stage of a common form of tuberculous infiltration and ulceration of the intestine. Above a small swollen follicular gland is seen, with a slight breach on its surface, while the Peyer’s patch below shows typical tuberculous infiltration at its upper end, and commencing ulceration. St. Bart.’s Hosp. Museum, 2012B. 230. Portion of a small intestine. There are two small superficial ulcers on the mucous surface, and the peritoneum is studied with tuberculous nodules of various sizes. From a child, set. 3, who died with general tuberculosis. See ' Post-mortem Book,’ vol. viii, p. 46. St. Bart.’s Hosp. Museum, 2008. 231. A portion of jejunum showing typical tuberculous ulceration. The ulcers run in the transverse axis of the gut, their bases are irregular and tuber- culated, and the serous surface of the gut is covered with numerous miliary tubercles, corresponding mostly to the course of the ulcers. Note the distribution of the tubercles along the blood-vessels on the serous surface, especially at the lower part of the specimen See ‘ Medical Post-mortem Register,’ vol. xxiii (1896), p. 112. St. Bart.’s Hosp. Museum, 2012D. 232. The ulcers occupy the position of Peyer’s patches, and are arranged in the long axis of the gut, instead of in the transverse axis, as is usually the case. The edges are thickened, and there is an exensive inflamma- tory area around the ulcer, the floor of which is uneven and tuberculous. The tuberculous nature of the ulcer is readily recognised on examining the peritoneal surface of the bowel, which shows nunerous tubercles, especially over the area corresponding to the ulcers See * Medical Post-mortem Register,’ vol. xxii (1895), p. 46. St. Bart.’s Hosp. Museum, 2012A. 233. Portion of small intestine injected. Its canal has been kid open. Along the cut margin its walls are considerably thickened, md the layers of which they are composed can be easily recognised. Their thickness is chiefly due to the deposit of masses of tubercle in the sibserous coat, to which the diseased condition appears to be limited. St. Bart.’s Hosp. Museum, 1876.
