gastro-intestinal irritation. Inspection revealed an un- 
usually small animal with all viscera, brain included, of 
a size corresponding to infancy, the genitalia being 
notably underdeveloped. The ductless glands were 
present and of proportions corresponding to the whole 
body. The mucosa of the alimentary tract seemed 
atrophic. The case appears then to be one of infantilism 
of the Lorrain type probably of gastro intestinal origin. 
A Green Monkey was observed, four months before 
death, to be failing but without distinct signs of trouble 
until one month before the end, when definite inco- 
ordination was noted. No convulsion was seen but 
the animal staggered badly and seemed uncertain in 
recognition of objects. When received in the laboratory 
he was mentally dull, apparently quite blind and deaf. 
Inco-ordination was distinct, equilibrium maintained 
with difficulty and weakness was more pronounced on 
the left side. No disturbance of sensation was detected. 
Autopsy revealed a large abscess involving almost the 
entire cerebrum but the point of origin of this could not 
be determined. 
The occurrence of Paget's disease of the bones or 
osteitis deformans in a reddish Woolly Monkey is worthy 
of record and will at a later time be published with a 
review of the incidence of the disease in lower animals. 
Such an observation is of interest because of its rarity 
since there can be found in the literature to date typical 
cases only in horses and fowls. In the former it involves 
chiefly the epiphyses whereas in this monkey and man 
the skull and diaphyses are principally involved. During 
life this animal showed a constant and definite retention 
of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. 
Dr. Weidman reports the following observations upon 
parasites : 
This 3^ear very few worms have been reported, i. e.^ 
in only 4 per cent, of the autopsies as against a usual 
average of about 10 per cent. This does not include the 
microscopic blood parasites found this year because all 
cases were not completely studied in previous years. 
Including these (16) the percentage rises to eight.
