In some instances spots ofecchymosis are irregularly distributed beneath the mucousmembrane of the epiglottis, or in the interiorof the larynx, and little irregular varices also ;and, in some of these cases, a similar conditionis observable at the angles of the palatine folds,and in other portions of the mucous membraneof the palate and pharynx. There is often a FlGgeneral swollen condition of the mucous mem- ^S^^LStabrane, but it is by no means constant.
