I HAVE made further investigation in the outbreak of disease amongst poultry, which I recorded in the VETER I NA RY JOURNAL of last month, and I find that the deposits on the oral mucous membrane contain a mycelium and some free bodies, which are probably spores, in addition to various other organisms. It appears to correspond, therefore, with, and I have no doubt that the di sease is " Parasi t ic Stomatitis ," caused by the mould fun g us (M oll ilia (a Ild ida), as de sc ribed by F riedberger and Frohner, in Ve te?'il1a1''Y Pat lt ology . vol. i.

A large abscess formed at the si te and was lance d and the cavity irrigated with chinoso l so luti on (1'5 gr. per oz.). The external wound was allowed to heal to o rapidly, with the result that about a week later an extensive subcutaneous suppurati on was discovered, extendin g from the original abscess to a bout the front of the right scap ul o-humeral joint and involving all the subcutaneous tissue of the ri g ht side of th e fr on t o f the chest. An opening was made at the lowest point o f the swelling an inch or two from the right scapulo-humeral joint in the directi on of the middle line, and the pus was rem oved.

'W ithin a week after this the right forearm became greatly enlarged, hot , and painful, and burst at three points, one opening being behind the carpus and the other two close tog ether on the inner aspect of the forearm . From then onward s various method s of treatment were tried without succe s to obtain di sin fe cti on and healing of the wounds.
