intercostal space at the left. Most of the srall intestines wera floating above the ascites; the abdeminal wall was extrenely thin and transparent. Lineal or irregular maculae supposedly from extravasation of
HucoOus Benbranes were seen at places in the corium. The peritonsal side
of tho frontal abdoninal wall was smooth and there was a belit-shaped adhesion about 5 cm long, accenupanied by new blood vessels, hetween the
gsicnoid colon and the outside, in the left fossa ilica. The peritoreum
of tha pelvis rincr was rciteretely cdipose; the capillaries were proninently dilated and the lycpl.tica vrre slightly enlarged. Tha outside of
he meecontery was slightly fleccuisted. Tie congested portions of the
wpesentoric aapillaries reached the periphery of the left kidney. There
was moderete edema in the dat tunic around the kidney; it appeared gelatinois and was capped by a beautifil lineal blood vassel. The peritoneal
side of the rear abdominil wall was moderately edematous. With the sternom reieved, no eslargement of rancerigq interna was noted on the dorsal
side of the sternum. TLe thymus had become adirose and the parenchyna vag

ercte Jeccce., An extravasated area of scize 3 cm was oLserved inside the
muscle layer near the third left intercostal region; the intercostal nus-~
cle was roist and light red in color. The upper lobe of the left lung
showed coiplete fibrous adhesion. The lower part of the lower lobe was
not adhered, and a pletrel cyst containing 14 ec of light yellow liquid
was observed. The lover lobe, from the side to the back, was adhered.
The left pleura from the side of the spinal coluwsn to the rear of the apex
of the lung was also adhered. The whele right lung appeared fibrous and
pleouritic but closer examination revealed that certain parts at the front
and on the outside wera adhered. The front of the upper lobe shoved
