The measlyrash may also be diffuse and identical in character with that of is only occasionally seen. It was present once in my Montrealcases.

They occur in from 10 to 16 per cent of cases. In thecases under my care in the small-pox department at the Montreal GeneralHospital the percentage was 13.* As will be subsequently mentioned theseinitial rashes have considerable diagnostic value.

Within the first twenty-four hours from theirappearance they occur on other parts of the face and on the extremities,and a few are seen on the trunk.
