of experiment which will be put forward in the final Report 

 will be followed up. 



As to the stay of the disease when fully established in the 

 bird no practical remedial measures can at present be suggested. 

 The apothecary is to the sick bird of no more importance than 

 Seneca. Nothing can be done " pour soulager les entrailles " 

 of the patient. 



One word of conclusion to recall the fact that the Grouse 

 Inquiry has not issued its final Report, and this article cannot 

 represent its final findings ; research is still going on. All 

 I have attempted to do is to summarise the existing knowledge 

 of the diseases of the grouse, which have never before been 

 so specifically defined. When the final Report is published 

 remedial measures will be suggested. This Report will also 

 contain chapters on moor management, on the economics of 

 grouse-shooting, on the life-histories of the many parasites 

 associated with the grouse and on many other matters con- 

 nected with the well-being of the bird.
