short space of time. I have to thank Dr Hammond Smith for his help and 

 enthusiasm in treating the birds. 



Concluding Beinar-ks. 

 While the successful combating of Avian Coccidiosis appears to lie in strict 

 attention to cleanliness, and to the adoption of stringent preventive measures 

 — such as I have indicated — yet, where the treatment of Coccidiosis is practicable 

 I believe, from my experiments and the application of their results, that catechu 

 has been proved to be of very definite service.
