such as enteritis, nephritis, and gastric ulceration. Manj^ of the 

 Mammals were very rickety and so predisposed. In three of 

 the Reptiles it was due to worms : in all the other cases pneumo- 

 coccal. 



4. One, in a Japanese Ape, was due to pyoi'rhoea alveolaris : 

 the other two to deep abscesses. 



5. Eight of these cases were due to pneumococcal infection. 



6. In an Anoa, in which the liver was crammed with flukes. 



7. The three birds had all syngamus. 



8. Two of these were influenzal, and five had rickets. 



9. Nine of the Mammals were badly rickety : in the Birds 

 there was also, in most cases, cedema of the lungs. 



There has been a notable decrease of this condition in the 

 Mammals and Birds. 



10. The cause of this condition has been traced definitely in 

 one instance, separately to shot, straw, grass, in two to sand, and 

 in seven to worms. 



11. The number of cases of enteritis is relatively about the

 definitely traced: 15 were due to worms, 3 to flukes, 11 to 

 decomposed food, 14 to sand, and 6 to foreign bodies. 



12. This occurred in a Fox and a Tasmanian Devil.

 Kangaroo ; in both the primary growth was in the stomach : in 

 the former there were secondary deposits in glands and colon, 

 and in the latter in liver and glands. The reptilian case was a 

 glandular cancer in the stomach of a Tortoise. 



14. The two cases of sarcoma in Birds were in a Yulture and

15. The diseases grouped under the term " Malaria " were due
