The swollen, depigmentedclitoris, with gaping vulva, constitutes one of the most uniformand persistent symptoms of the malady, and gives to a youngmare the appearance of extreme old age, in this part. Following closely upon the first appearance of local lesions,within a few weeks after infection, there appear peculiar andpathognomonic cutaneous eruptions in the form of placques,. Fig. 9.

These eruptions appearsuddenly, largely about the flanks, neck, sjioulders, sides andthighs as more or less circular elevations, one to several inchesin diameter. The margins of these are very abrupt and standup above the level of the healthy skin like the eruptions of urti-caria, the hairs upon them being erect. They appear suddenly,not, usually, in great numbers, but only one to five or six at atime, remain a few days and disappear without leaving a mark,to be succeeded by a new crop. It is claimed that, in theseplacques, the trypanosomes are very abundant during the firststages of their existence, but as the eruptions grow old the para-sites rapidly disappear from them.
