Country Life Ltd., London 1932 96pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition, bright tight, white and square. bound in original tan cloth covered boards with brown titling to the spine and the upper board. This copy is from the library of the late Oliver Collett and bears his heraldic book plate to the front paste down. The unclipped dust wrapper is sun darkened to the spine but entire and has now been covered in clear, removable, protective film. THE prevalence of a new or hitherto unrecognised disease amongst partridges, which caused heavy mortality during the earlier winter months of 1931, brought about the formation of a Country Life committee of inquiry, under the chairmanship of Major M. Portal and with the assistance of Dr. W. E. Collinge as pathologist. While partridges are subject to several fatal diseases, the special features of this epidemic were loss of weight, reluctance of the bird to feed, congestion of the caeca, stomach invariably empty; and the cause was found to be a nematode parasite, Trichostrongylus tenuis, harbouring in thousands in the caeca. The life-history of the strongyle has been worked out: it has been found to be spread with the faeces, from which the larv| swarm up blades of vegetation, with which they are engulfed by other partridges. Although no wild bird seems to be concerned in the distribution of the parasite, earthworms are very frequent carriers of both eggs and larvæ. Any factor which weakens the resistance of partridges predisposes to fatal attack, and amongst such factors the Committee suspects interbreeding, overcrowding in winter, insufficient food, and unfavourable weather conditions. Some of these may be associated, as several replies to a questionnaire issued by the Committee suggest, with modern conditions of farming and roads. Special chapters have been written by experts upon methods of feeding and breeding, so that there has been gathered together in this volume a body of observations and information which no owner of partridge land can afford to ignore.
