tuberculosis of the liver, flatulent colic, paralysis, and, occasionally, diarrhosa, 
Flatulont colic has been found to yiold to the administration of a teaspoonful 
of castor-oil with an equal quantity of honey, In cases of paralysis, the 
animal is removed toa place free from draughts and cold and provided with 
a blanket, while the affected parts are rubbed over with belladonna liniment 
morning and evening, 
Among the birds, the Cassowaries and the Emus have been observed to 
suffer from pulmonary inflammation, bronchial catarrh, inflammation of the 
entire mucous lining of the mouth, and diarrhoea, Ostriches suffer from 
obscure diseases, of which the true natures have not yet been determined, 
They have, however, been known to catch colds of winter nights, Birds of 
the genera Lophophorus, Phasianus, Thaumalea, Kuploeamus, Gallus, Ceriornis, 
Pavo, Polyplectronan argus, as well as the partridges in the collection, are 
most subject to attacks of cold, catarrh, rheumatism, gape, opthalmic inflam - 
mation, diarrhoea, tuberculosis of the lungs and liver, and leprosy tubercles, 
Birds suffering from cold recover from it on being given a small quantity of 
raw ginger with treacle, Cases of gape are treated either by the application, 
with a feather, of spirits of turpentine to the wind-pipes of the affected birds, 
which, in this state, teem with the offending parasites, or by fumigating them 
with carbolic acid vapour, Opthalmic inflammation has been found to yield 
to ablution of the eyes with alum water and subsequent painting of them with 
caustic solution, Birds suffering from diarrhoea are given, by way of medicine, 
afew drops of the tincture of opium with milk and egg food, and also a 
little rum in their drinking water, The partrdiges also suffer from abnormal 
and misshapen growths of beaks and nails. Almost. all the Pallases (Syr- 
rhaptes paradoxus) and Thibetan Sand-grouses (S, tibetanus) in the gardens 
died of hepatic or pulmonary affections. Birds of the orders Steganopodes, 
Anseres, Gavide, and Limicole are subject to thread worms. induced by a 
purely fish diet, invagination of the intestines, fungoid growths in the gullets, 
tuberculosis of the lungs and liver, hepatic leprosy, and disease of the oil- 
glands —the latter being removed by washing the affected glands with tepid 
water, so as to cleanse them from the sticking dirt, and by keeping the sick 
birds in a dry place, Cockatoos of the genera Cacatua, Liemetis, and Miero- 
glossa are liable to attacks of diarrhoea, cold, and apoplexy brought on by 
adiposity. In cases of cold, the birds are treated by giving them chlorate of 
potash with liquorice and honey. Cold and pulmonary inflammation are com- 
monly met with in parrakeets of the genus Palwornis, Birds belonging to the 
Sub-family Lorune are most subject to fits, inflammation of the chest, and 
diarrhea, The Trichoglossi, or Broadtails, often suffer from diarrhoea 
and cold, Pulmonary inflammation, rheumatism, severe cold, worms and 
diarrhoea are some of the ailments which are commonly met with among the 
Hornbills, Diarrhoea and cold are treated by giving the suffering birds one
