The time of incubation could not havebeen over six weeks,—probably not over three weeks. Ofthese cows, one improved in eight weeks, the other in threeweeks. Case 8.—This cow had been sick three weeks. Killed. Autopsy.—Large quantities of serum in left chest; lungadherent, and hardened at base. On cutting into the hard-ened lung, one side of the lump was found separated fromthe lung, with pus between the lines of separation, and theforming coat of the cyst outside of the pus; the otherside of the lump was part and parcel of the hardened lungwhich had not yet had time to commence separation. Thecostal pleura was covered with organized lymph to thethickness of an inch, with the usual characteristics. Theright chest contained a small quantity of serum, and hadseveral small, hardened red spots in that lung, with sometendei*, weak adhesions ; but most of the right lung washealthy. Case 9.—
