The first obvious symptom of the malady is the appearance of one or more greyish patches upon the skin of parts of the body which are not covered with scales, such as the top and sides of the head, the adipose fin, and the soft skin at the bases of the other fins.'

A version of this paper was published in volume 33 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'A contribution to the pathology of the epidemic known as the "salmon disease"'.
