There have been two small outbreaks of an acute nonspecific infection— that is not suggestive of cholera, psittacosis or infectious enteritis— among the parrots in which during a short time 4 and 6 parrots died with nasopharyngosinusitis as the prominent lesion. One outbreak was studied bacteriologically without definite result. There was no uniform internal pathology unless, in one outbreak, congestion of the cerebellum may be mentioned. Fowl diphtheria and its associated condition from which a satisfactory separation has not been accomplished, epithelioma contagiosum, has happily given us little concern, so that it is not possible to record any instructive facts upon its cause or differential diagnosis. There was recorded in the 1911 Report of the Society the occurrence of two fatal cases in cassowaries from which it was possible to isolate the B. columbarum and one bird with the same clinical appearances whose recovery seemed to be due to the use of human diphtheria antitoxin. In light of more information and consideration of the accepted variability of this disease, it is possible that this bird may have recovered without the injections or with the use of normal serum. Nowadays it is possible to obtain antiroup serum which is stated by Blair of New York to be efficacious. The disease has been observed in a wild turkey and an Abyssinian Ground Hornbill, beside the two struthious birds mentioned above. MYCOSIS. Mycotic disease of the nasopharynx seldom restricts itself to this cavity, usually extending by continuity to the esophagus, or by inspiration to the lungs whence it spreads to the air sacs. This condition of the upper passages has occurred here only in Psittaci and Accipitres although it is reported by veterinarians as occurring in Anseres and Struthiones. In the first order four birds were affected, two showing extension to the esophagus and a like number having pulmonary and serous membrane involvement. These cases were all due to aspergillus whereas those next to be mentioned were caused by an oidium close to the “albicans” variety. In four Mississippi kites the prominent changes were found in the pharynx and esophagus down as far as the proventricle with only a few rather trifling lesions in the nasal area. Infiltrative and necrotizing processes characterized the action of the oidium while that exerted by the aspergillus was more superficial and extensive. In one case of a parrot the whole nasal cavity was completely filled with a yellow gray exudate whereas the esophageal wall of the kites was thoroughly infiltrated by a gray-brown, friable, necrotic mass. Attempts at treatment were made in the case of the latter, using potassium chlorate and saline solution on cotton swabs. The result was entirely negative and the applications seemed to have no effect upon the course of the infection.
