In the following paper an attempt will be made to give a description of certain characteristic features which we have observed on postmortem examination of a large number of plague rats in the course of the daily routine rat investigation in Bombay. An account of the diagnosis of rat plague may appear at first sight to cover well-known ground and to be consequently unnecessary. Having regard however to its importance the subject seems to have received remarkably little attention, judging from the scattered references to it in the literature.
