lung, liver, spleen and kidney. Over and including the 
left mammary gland is a large ulcerating mass, 8 x 5.5 x 2 
cm., discharging to the surface. It extends almost up 
to the axilla. On section it is made up of a creamy 
necrotic central mass surrounded by edematous trans- 
lucent cartilagenous material. It exudes a pus-like mate- 
rial, smears of which show no organisms, only detritus 
and loose epithelial cells. Microscopic section shows 
diffuse induration of the gland closely resembling chronic 
inflammation or intra-canicular fibroma. Mucosa lining 
the lobules is markedly proliferated. Epithelial cells 
are large and appear in nests. In certain areas the 
tumor appears almost of adenomatous type with dis- 
tinct ducts and marked proliferation of the epithelium. 
Snow Leopard {Felis uncia). Cystic ovary. The 
right ovary is the seat of a thin walled cyst of three 
loculi. The mass measures grossly 4x2 cm. 
Pigtailed Macaque (Macacus nemestrinus) . Tubo- 
ovarian abscess ruptured into Douglas pouch. The 
uterus is of the usual normal cordiform type. The left 
tube and ovary are normal. The right tube and ovary 
are fused into a mass of fibrinous exudate, pus and 
adhesions. The mass measures 1x2 cm. The cecum 
has become adherent to the superior aspect of the mass 
the whole forming a purulent collection which at autopsy 
filled Douglas pouch. 
Dr. Weidman's Report. 
The tally of animal parasites this year runs a little 
high — 12 per cent, as against a general average of ten 
per cent., and against only four per cent, for last year. 
The increase is not due to any special epidemic, but is 
a matter of generally increased incidence. 
Isolated parasitological incidents that stand out are 
as follows: 
Tapeworms in the Bile Ducts of Cape Hyrax (Hyrax 
capensis). It is a great rarity to encounter the strobile 
(mature stage) of tapeworms anywhere except in the 
stomach and intestines. The cases we note are therefore 
exceptions. We have earlier records of them in the
