lated fibroid extending from the cervix. This tumor 
measures 32 x 20 mm., is attached to the post-cervical 
wall by a broad pedicle and is of smooth surface. The 
right uterine wall shows a large fibroid which twists the 
uterine lumen to the left. The tumor in the right uterine 
cornu is nodular, measures 11x9x7 cm., shows many 
dilated veins coursing over the surface and one section 
shows a soft central necrotic area. The left uterine cornu 
shows a small fibroid at the lower end. There is a chronic 
endometritis present. The outer half of the right tube 
ic the seat of firm nodular swelling, one of which proves to 
be a purulent salpingitis (tuberculous), the others calcareo- 
caseous salpingitis. Both ovaries are fibroid and cystic. 
Microscopical section shows some exfoliation of the 
epithelium of the vagina. The uterine cornu is thickened 
and the fibrous tissue is greatly increased. The tube is the 
seat of purulent salpingitis with an occasional broken down 
tubercle present. The ovaries show a mild degree of 
oophoritis. 
Dr. Weidman^s Report. 
waterfowl epizootic. 
There began on August 27th a series of deaths among 
the waterfowl and in one month there were lost 41 
specimens including both ducks and geese. Four addi- 
tional cases were scattered through the next four months, 
the last case dying on January 11th, 1916. All of these 
came from the lake, none being from the adjacent stream 
for rare waterfowl or from the more distant stream 
into which tlie lake drains. The symptoms were most 
marked and striking. In the early stages the wings 
drooped, then the legs became weak, followed by ina- 
bility to raise the head. In the latest cases the voice 
(ducks) lost its normal character and became hissing. 
The mind appeared clear for the eyes were bright, 
feathers unruffled and the bird attempted to escape when 
approached. Diarrhoea was present, dejecta thin, watery, 
white, no admixture of mucus. ,
