Extract

That ducks are subject to infestation by sarcosporidia has long been known. It seems to have been emphasised particularly because ducks afforded one of the first-known instances of the occurrence of these puzzling protozoa in birds. Very few new records have been published until now and no adequate illustrations of the gross features of the infestation have appeared. A general review of the subject and presentation of additional cases, with illustrations, therefore seems desirable.
