been performed. By this means a cageful of suspicious 
monkeys and one decidedly infected animal (Dr. Webb's) 
were detected.

There have been no deaths from tuberculosis among 
the lemurs and marmosets. 
Among the other animals there have been sixteen cases, 
the most important of which is the elephant. It was 
incidental in two cases and the principal cause of death 
in fourteen cases. This is a decrease of fourteen, there 
having been thirty last year. Fifteen cases occurred 
among the Aves, Passeres, 3; Picarise, 3; Psittaci, 1;

mammal (elephant) had tuberculosis.
