EAYMOND PEARL 



The autopsy record is as follows, plainly showing that the zero 

 record of this bird cannot be taken as any indication whatever 

 of her gametic constitution in respect to fecundity. 



Autopsy of E 318, July 16, 1909. Body weight, 1730 grams. Hatched March 

 31, 1908. Oviduct small: parts of it contained masses of hardened secretion. 

 Ovary with no large oocytes. One small yolk resorbing. Body cavity filled with 

 masses of hard yolk enclosed in peritoneal sacs. Some of these masses were small 

 and attached to mesentery. Some were large. A large mass filled the dorsal 

 part of body cavity on left side pushing over by a neck and connected by this with 

 a similar mass on right side. This was partly hollow and in the cavity the sur- 

 face was covered with a fruiting fungus resembling Penicillium. The peritoneum 

 covering the masses of hard yolk formed adhesions with the viscera so that the 

 intestine and oviduct were a bundle of adhesions clinging to these yolk masses.
