"GROUSE DISEASE" COCCIDIOSIS 271 



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

 enthusiasm in treating the birds. 



Concluding Remarks. 



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.
