Between these adhesions, which form partitions, are found little cavities filled with sero-sanguinolent, grumous, or caseous liquid. In time the ad- hesions increase in number

ISO.—Photograph of the same subject as Fig. 179, taken six claj's later. panied by slight exudation, which might remain unnoticed unless the animals were carefully examined; but it causes the internal surface of the pericardial sac and the surface of the myocardium to become covered with exuberant vascular growths, which by setting up adhesions lead to partial or generalised union of the heart and pericardial sac. Between these adhesions, which form partitions, are found little cavities filled with sero-sanguinolent, grumous, or caseous liquid. In time the ad- hesions increase in number, pericarditis obliterates the free space, and the heart becomes wholly adherent to the pericardium. As in acute pericarditis, the fibrous layer undergoes thickening and hardening processes. The superficial layers of the myocardium undergo sclerous transformation, and the tissues forming the adhesions them- selves may assume the characters of fibrous tissue.
