Peach-faced Lovebird, cock, (Mrs. Rogerson). This bird 

 had a fatty liver and died of apoplexy. 



WaxbiMv. (Mr. Fillnier). Piiennionia of both lungs caused 



death. 

 GoivDFiNCH. (Dr. Master). Pneumonia of both lungs. 



Canaries, three. (Mr. Castle-Sloane). These birds were all 

 inordinately obese, the internal organs being covered with 

 layers of fat. In all three there was congestion of the 

 liver, and also very extensive cerebral hnsmorrhage. In one 

 of the birds there was some suspicion of injury to the 

 head, and in another there was a patch of pneumonia in 

 one lung. I note that in their staple diet, both formerly 

 and recenth', there has been present a seed which on 

 reference to Hygiene of Bird Keeping will be found should 

 only be given occasionally. 



Parrot Finch, cock. (Mr. Picard). This bird died of acute 

 pneumonia. The only treatment available would be to 

 keep the bird warm and quiet. 



LonG-TaiFvED Grassfinch, cock. (The Hon. M. Hawke). 

 This bird, which had been indoors since November ist, 

 died of acute pneumonia. In answer to the quer}' re 

 glycerine : — It has no therapeutic qualities of any 

 account either for good or harm. Medicinal treatment of 

 pneumonia in birds is absolutely useless, and would be so 

 even if the pneumonia could be diagnosed during life. 



Cordon Bleu. (The Hon. M. Hawkei. Pneumonia was the 

 cause of death in this bird also.
