Two page spread. On the left are three black and white photos. The largest photo on the top left shows a heart in colors of light gray with black splotches on it. The text next to the picture reads "H-8, 23, 26 days. Petechial bleedings of epicardium." The picture on the bottom left shows a triangle-shaped organ with large black blotches on it. The text reads, "H-22, 33, 32 days. Bleedings of mycardium." The bottom right picture shows another triangular or perhaps rectangular organ with a curve to it. This organ is not as clearly blotched. It has far more gradations of black and gray on it. The text reads, "H-16, 21, 28 days, Pulmonary bleedings." On the right page are three more black and white images. The top right image shows a kidney. Its stem is black and there are dark gray spots on it. The text reads, "H-22, 27, 31 days. Bleedings of pelvis renalis." The image at the bottom left of the page shows another view of the same kidney. The dark circles of petechial bleedings are clearer. The text reads, "Subcapsular bleedings of kidney in B-22", referring to the same kidney mentioned previously. The picture to the bottom right shows two connected ovals, mostly white on their outer walls, black in the center, with gray between. The text reads, "S-16, 14, 29 days. Bleedings from the wall of urinary bladder."
