It produces some of the symptoms of meningitis or symptoms suggestive of the existence of ccenurosis, as, for instance, walking in circles, lameness of central origin, without appreciable lesions of the limbs, prolonged kneeling, disturbed vision, generalised attacks of epilepsy or of Jackson's epilepsy, spasm of the pharynx, general.

TUBEKCULOSIS OF THE SKIN. Cutaneous tuberculosis is one of the rarest forms of the disease. It is distinguished by the formation beneath the skin of little har- dened swellings varying in size between a hazel-nut and a walnut, and containing caseous or calcareous material. These swellings have no connection with the superficial lymphatic glands. They may be found grouped together within certain areas, or distributed irregularly over the whole bod}^ particularly towards the base of the tail. The condition may be mistaken for generalised sarcomatosis, from.
