It is, in fact, a partial pneumonia, which, from some unknown cause, does not spread beyond the point of primary lesion. Small spots, with a scalloped outline, presenting the various stages of congestion, of red and of gray hepatization, are found on section scattered indiscriminately through the organ. It is peculiar to infant life, and is probably connected with the same imperfect development of the vesicular tissues, which we have already found to constitute an important disease of early childhood.
