The LEMURES, of which we have eighty-six autopsies, do not differ much in anatomy from the Primates, however greatly they disagree in habits and outward appearance; their diet is the same. Clinically the slothful behavior of a normal lemur probably obscures symptoms and signs of illness, for our antemortem notes with the exception of a few observations of loose stools, fail to offer a lead as to diagnosis. This order has a large incidence (twenty-three cases) of gastroenteric conditions as shown in Table 11, but some explanation of the figures is deserved. In the first place, only one case of acute gastritis occurred, and this was apparently a part of a general infection, and if induced at all by food this was only secondary. Indeed as one reviews the records it does not seem that the lemurs are easily disturbed in their gastric digestion. Acute and subacute inflammations from bacterial action seem definitely more prominent since they take the catarrhal, follicular and deep submucous form and are frequently associated with generalized infectious processes. One amœbic case was observed and there was another in which a heavy cestode and nematode infestation seemed to have paved the way for bacteria. CARNIVORA. The food of this order is received into the fundal part of the stomach, the distensible but normally capacious left and superior two-thirds of the organ. The general shape of the viscus, that of a gourd, permits a fairly sharp separation of the fundal and pyloric sections, so definite indeed that the pathology of the two parts was studied. The intestines vary in length, but in the land carnivores are relatively short, narrow in lumen and rich in wall. A cecum, or at least a blind end of the large gut made by the insertion of the small intestine above the tip of the colon, is suggested in all families, although, as in the bears, it may be quite insignificant or rudimentary. Theoretically no stasis should occur at this point. The colon is short in all carnivores and, like the small gut, with a heavy wall. The comparative simplicity of the carnivorous gut tract, the ability of many of these animals to disgorge, the suggestion of high resistance of the upper end of the tract to infection and the ease with which diarrhœa can clear out the tube, would seem to warrant the expectation that inflammation would not be serious. Such, however, is not the fact for, on the contrary, they have shown a higher incidence than any other order for which we have adequate comparison. Anatomically considered their stomach occupies the second place in vulnerability, next to the marsupials, and their intestines the highest place; this indicates of course that combined gastric and intestinal disease has often occurred. Involvement of the colon occupies the second place, in ordinate susceptibility, being exceeded only by the monkeys, due to heavy parasitic infestation, but would occupy the first place were the eleven amœbic dysenteries in monkeys subtracted from
