culin in 1912. It had general tuberculosis. Among 
the Galli two wild turkeys have died from tuberculosis, 
a brush and an eastern wild turkey. These birds were 
not housed in proximity nor did either one have any- 
thing to do with the chicks that died tuberculous in 
1912. Among the Accipitres two buzzards were lost. 
There are also to record two cases among the Anseres, 
a Summer Duck and a Ross^ Goose. The number of 
cases of tuberculosis for all animals is lower than usual 
for the Garden. We did not have any tuberculosis 
among the Carnivora, Marsupialia or Picarise, among 
which there are usually some cases. The number of 
cases among the Columbse is increased because of the 
frequency of tuberculomata at the end of the wing. 
Tumors. 
Eight new growths have been found among our autopsy 
material this year. I shall not describe them all as has 
been the custom, as most of them offer nothing new. 
There is to be recorded a gastric tumor in a monkey. 
In my work upon neoplasms I called attention to the 
fact that among 328 primates no true tumor had been 
found. To date 381 primates have come to autopsy 
and one tumor has been observed. I shall cite its 
anatomy as a matter of record.

Diffuse adenoma of stomach. Beginning at the 
pyloric ring and extending toward the cardia for 
a distance of six centimeters is a lesion of dis- 
coidal form which is placed upon the lesser cur- 
vature but which in encircling the pyloric ring 
also extends over to the greater curvature. In 
this disc the mucosa is thrown up into warty, 
white elevations which are soft, not ulcerated, 
congested or hemorrhagic and which are freely 
movable over the underlying muscularis. The 
lesion involves the mucosa only. The other
