The second variety of mange is caused by the sarcoptes eqiii These- creatures penetrate the skin, raising up a small knotted elevation, with a small passage, at the extremity of which the acarus resides. This acarus has a tendency to wander about, and is especially abundant on the sides of the neck and withers, from whence it spreads over the surface of the body,, excepting those parts covered by long hair. The pimples, if examined, are found to be hard scabs, situated on a moist basis. As the crusts become drier, the skin becomes thickened, wrinkled, and fissured. Mange caused by this acarus is rare. The course of the disease is slow, and may even cause death from irritation and exhaustion. Dr. Fleming, , , has seen the disease in the Crimea.
