    PIGS. g. Glandula retro-pharyngealis et glandulae mesentericae of a healthy pig. 10. Tuberculosis of a glandula retro-pharyngealis and of the glandulse mesen- tericse of a pig fed for 75 days with the bacilli of cattle tuberculosis. The pig was slaughtered 109 days after the commencement of feeding with tuberculous material. The post-mortem further showed tuberculosis of the glandulse sub- maxillares, tracheales, cervicales superficiales, bronchiales, mediastinales et portales, of the lungs and of the liver. Remark.—The pigs fed with the bacilli of human tuberculosis remained healthy. 11. Tuberculosis of the lungs of a pig inoculated intra-venously with cattle tuberculosis, and slaughtered after 135 days. At the post-mortem there was found further tuberculosis of the glandulse tracheales, bronchiales, mediastinales, portales, of the liver and spleen. 12. Tuberculosis of the lungs of a pig inoculated intra-venously with the bacilli of human tuberculosis, and slaughtered after 100 days. At the post- mortem only the glandulse bronchiales et mediastinales appeared tuber- culous, while all the remaining organs were in their normal condition. Remark.—The pigs inoculated subcutaneously and intra-venously with bacilli of human tuberculosis remained healthy, whilst the pigs inoculated subcutaneously and intra-venously with the bacilli of cattle tuberculosis became ill with general tuberculosis. SHEEP. 13. Tuberculosis of the lungs of a sheep inoculated intra-venously with the bacilli of cattle tuberculosis, and slaughtered after 63 days. Through the post-mortem examination there was further shown tuberculosis of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as of all the lymphatic glands. Remark.—The sheep subcutaneously inoculated with bacilli of cattle tuberculosis became diseased in a similar manner. 14. Tuberculosis of the lungs of a sheep intra-venously injected with the bacilli of human tuberculosis, and slaughtered 63 days after the injection. In the grey tubercles of the lungs no tubercle-bacilli could be shown microscopically. All the remaining organs were of a normal nature. Remark.—The sheep infected subcutaneously with the bacilli of human tuberculosis remained healthy.
