    DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES. Case I. Plate 2, Fig. 1. Tracing showing a slight delay in conduction, a-c = 0-25. Pig. 2. Diagram showing the situation of the microscopic lesions in the a.-v. bundle. Fig. 3. Microphotograph of lesion no. 1. x 90. A small round-cell collection is shown in the substance of the a.-v. bundle (1). (2) is the central fibrous body of the heart. Fig. 4. Microphotograph showing lesion no. 2. x 90. A round-cell collection is visible between the auricular muscle (2) and the a.-v. bundle (1), and infiltrates both. The a.-v. bundle here is congested, and its fibres are degenerate. Fig. 5. Microphotograph showing lesion no. 3. x 90. A larger round-cell collection is shown in the centre of the a.-v. bundle (1). (2) = auricular muscle. The a.-v. bundle here is congested, and its fibres are degenerate. Case II. Plate 3, Fig. 1. Tracing showing the close proximity of the a. and v. waves in the jugular pulse. a~c = O-OB. Pigs. 2-4. Microphotographs of the a.-v. node at different levels, showing focal and diffuse round-cell infiltrations. The artery in Fig. 2 is not thrombosed: it is cut obliquely and its walls are infiltmted. All the capillaries are congested.
