Eye Worms in Chickens {Filiaria mansoni). 
This disease which seems to be quite prevalent here consists 
in the presence of worms in the eye between the eyeball and the 
socket. As many as 50 of these minute worms have been re- 
moved from a single eye in spite of which the affected chicken 
seems to suffer very little inconvenience. The disease has been 
fully investigated by Dr. Case, who has found that it yields readily 
to treatment and who is endeavoring to get at the life history of 
ihe parasite in question. The subject will be discussed in full in 
the next annual report.
