    Case.—The patient had no material pulmonary symptoms, and died of cholera. Both lungs were, throughout, nearly as dark as at c, and contained numerous round melanotic masses as large as mustard-seeds and peas. Fig. 45.—Pulmonary or melanotic matter, of blue-black colour, with tubercles seen through the pleura. At the upper part the lung is redder, and less charged with tubercles. An identical appearance was presented by the pleura in parts of the lung, Fig. 49, except that there were no tubercles. (La Charite.) Fig. 46.—Ulceration of the fauces a, a, and epiglottis b, with vegetations extending into the larynx. Also hypertrophy of the mucous glands and papillae, c, c. Case.—Syphilis treated with excess of mercury. Fig. 47.—Tubercular consolidation of blackish-grey colour, with a cavern. (The phthisis with melanosis of Bayle.) The pleura is thickened externally by vascular false membrane of a dense fibrous nature. Fig. 48.—Ulceration of the larynx, which is laid open by an in- cision through the front. On and above the chordae are cribriform ulcers covered with pus. Below, the mucous follicles are ulcerated, and present an external and internal zone of red. Still lower is a large deep ulcer penetrating to the cricoid cartilage. The integuments of the arytaenoid cartilages a are tumid with inflammatory oedema. Case.—A female, set. 45, who died of phthisis. Acute inflam- mation had supervened and caused the vivid redness. Fig. 49.—A cauliflower excrescence springing from the oesopha- gus and partly from the larynx, into which it projects in front of the chordse vocales c. The cricoid cartilage is ossi- fied and held open by a piece of wood. (Vid. Bronchitis, hypertrophy of the mucous membrane.) Case.—A woman, set,. 55. Voice croaking, inspiration rather
