a high percentage in incidence for tropidocerca, syn- 
gamus and periproventricnlar worms, many families of 
Ungulata harbor echinococcus, and Carnivora are prone 
to show ascarids. On the other hand, among the copious 
exceptions to this may be cited the irregular liability to 
inf estment exhibited by the Galli. Four varieties of these 
birds are represented but there are missing such impor- 
tant kinds as curassows, guans, guinea fowl and peafowl. 
Nor do all members of a genus necessarily show the 
same susceptibility, and the heterakis infestment in the 
pheasants illustrates this matter ver^^ well. It was limited 
almost entirely to two species — Amherst's and Golden, 
whereas several frequently exhibited species showed none. 
The following table brings this out in more detail :
