The author states the newly-ascertained fact that the bacillus in avian 
tuberculosis is identical with that in the human subject. He says that 
the disease is almost peculiar to graminivorous and fruit-eating birds and 
vegetable feeders ; that the Gallince and Columbce are especially liable to 
it ; and that the alimentary canal (by way of which the bacilli are intro- 
duced) and the associated viscera are almost exclusively affected, being 
studded with nodules ; also that the disease originates in the mucous 
coat of the bowels. An account follows of the structure of the nodules 
and of the character of the bacilli (which are distributed by the blood- 
vessels). The leucocytes war against the bacilli ; the disease is there- 
fore a battle between the former and the irritant particles, the charac- 
teristic nodules being regarded as the field of battle. In conclusion, 
the contamination of the birds’ food by stale fseces, &c., is the probable 
cause of the production of the bacilli, in connection with which is the fact 
that similar nodules are found on parrots’ feet. It may be proved 
hereafter that tuberculosis is communicated to man by the lower animals.
