decimated many bird-rooms and in every case enconnteied by the 
writer the disease was introduced by a newly-purchased bir^l. Bird 
fanciers shoidd be very cautious in purchasing at this lime of the year 
birds from dealers and even unscrupulous bird fanciers, who, as soon as 
they find they have disease in their l)ird-i oom dispose of their slock 
even to their fellow fancieis ! Freshly purchased birds should be 
isolated for at least six weeks.
