. Fig. 24. From a preparation of caseous matter obtained from pulmonary deposits in Bovine Tuberculosis. Jla^nifying power 700. (After Klein.) The tubercle- bacilli are seen crowded within two hirfje cells, and also scattered between them as a result of the disintegration of other cells. this disease, is a small, round tumour, which is at first semi- transparent, but may afterwards soften or calcify. It is generally spherical, and of about the size of a grain of millet, or hemp-seed. The larger so-called tubercles, spoken of as being as large as a walnut or larger, are in reality aggregations


. Fig. 24. From a preparation of caseous matter obtained from pulmonary deposits in Bovine Tuberculosis. Jla^nifying power 700. (After Klein.) The tubercle- bacilli are seen crowded within two hirfje cells, and also scattered between them as a result of the disintegration of other cells. this disease, is a small, round tumour, which is at first semi- transparent, but may afterwards soften or calcify. It is generally spherical, and of about the size of a grain of millet, or hemp-seed. The larger so-called tubercles, spoken of as being as large as a walnut or larger, are in reality aggregations of the smaller ones. Each tubercular mass can only with difficulty be crushed or separated from the surrounding tissues, from which it is not marked off by any definite wall. A tubercle, though itself non-vascular, is yet placed near a small artery. At first it is, as we have said, semi-transparent; but it afterwards becomes yellowish and opaque.
