APPENDIX F 



5. Young Grouse $. Died without treatment; was a bird of the year. Sent 

 from Yorkshire, August 20th, 1909. Died. Hi- ounces, very thin. Heemorr- 

 hagic fluid contents of cajcum made up of coccidia spores. Caseous nodules 

 and flocks of lymph in peritoneum. Very large spleen. Hsemorrhagic petechiie 



in serous covering of caeca. 



Mesenteric vessels engorged. 



(3) Body Temperatukes of Healthy and Unhealthy Grouse. 



The inference to be drawn from the above figures is that in both Strongylosis and in Goccidiosis, 

 the wasting and exhaustion is accompanied by a subnormal temperature at times. There is probably 

 also at times a certain amount of fever. 



The average for health is probably too low, for tlie amount of food in the crop must always 

 have given a lower temperature than that of the blood.
