The ulcerations are localised in the mouth and pharynx, in the second half of the small intestine towards the ileum, and in Peyer's patches. Tuberculous lesions develop in the vaginal sheath of the male genital organs exactly in the same way as in an ordinary closed serous cavity; tubercles may also develop on the surface or in the substance of the testicle. They become aggregated, undergo softening, spread towards the interior, and may break down, thus forming abscesses. In the female genital passages the disease invades the thickness of the walls, but shows a marked tendency to ulceration, as in the intestine or trachea. In the udder tuberculosis is generally diffuse, shows a tendency to hypertrophy and the free formation of fibrous or sclerous tissue; only tubercles in the glandular layer of the acini become ulcerated. In time the whole of the secreting structure undergoes diffuse tuber- culous suppuration, fibro-caseous masses form in the depths of the tissue and may soften, producing deep-seated tuberculous " cold ; Y y
