ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 



I have again to acknowledge the kindness of Dr. C. H. Higgins, Pathologist of 

 the Veterinary Laboratory, Experimental Farm, in making post mortem examinations 

 of fowls which have died during the year. Many cases of diseases of turkeys sent 

 from different parts of the country were also examined and reported upon by him. 

 These reports were first made to Dr. Rutherford, Chief of the Veterinary Department, 

 who courteously forwarded copies of them to our Division.
