The second is arranged by anatomic systems. Precise differential diagnostic criteria and terminology are given emphasis. Included are useful data on pathogenesis, etiology, biologic behavior, frequency in different species under varying laboratory conditions. The significance of each lesion is considered and comparisons are made with other species including man.
