Frequently, over the ulcer and extend-ing from this along the mesentery to the nearest lym-phatic glands, large whitish-yellow cords, with smallnodular swellings along them, are seen. These cordsrepresent the lymphatics coming from the affected por- tion of the intestine, and which are in part the seat of theformation of miliary tubercles, and in part are affectedby a tuberculous lymphangoitis, by which they becomefilled with a caseous mass. In many cases they form anetwork, which extends along the serosa for a consider-able distance above and below the seat of ulceration. In addition to the small ulcers formed from the solitaryfollicles, tubercles are often formed here wThich project as.
