    distinguish muscle fibres, but minm their strife, areolar tissue, fibrous tissue, and the several coats of vessels, though the outline of the special elements entering into their composi- tion is wanting, the elastic lamina, however, remaining intact. All are present in a more or less perfect condition, yet sapped to their vitals by the devastating horde invading their terri- tory. That the small veins and capillaries are seriously affected by the immediate presence of these organisms is evidenced by the inflammatory changes noted—changes in- duced to stem the tide and offer a barrier to impending invasion, but all in vain. The occurrence of ammonio- magnesian phosphate and oxalate crystals in the pericardial false membrane is unique, and possibly accounted for by the fact that these crystals arc always found when pure cultiva- tions of these organisms are made in fluid media. I hope, in a future communication, to illustrate all the morbid conditions described above by drawings which I have had carefully prepared at intervals during the past five years, as well as to show cultivations illustrating the matcries morbi in each animal.
