CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME. 197 to resist capture, it is possible that the indicated incidence of infection may be altogether too high. Of the quail kept in an outdoor pen under healthful conditions at the university three out of ten have died. Post-mortem examinations have disclosed no striking lesions other than those occasioned by the parasites that could have accounted for the death of the birds. These lesions are an enlarged black spleen, pigmented liver, and a pronounced anemia. One of the cases, that of a specimen (No. 46) taken in Santa Clara County, is of especial interest. On June 8, 1928, in the San. Fig. 57. Blood from Quail No. 39. 1, young gametocyte with small amount of pigment; 2, mature gamelocytes, pigment granules large and numerous. Giemsa stain, preparation and photo-micrograph by K. F. Meyer, June 23, 1928. Felipe Vallej', an adult male was found that could fly but little and was unable to keep up with the covey. It soon crawled under some bushes where it was easily captured with the hands. This bird was in poor condition and its crop was empty. Upon being taken to the laboratory, it was found to be heavily parasitized. It gradually became weaker and died the following day. Failure to find evidences of accident or of disease other than that caused by the parasites leads us to believe that we have discovered a fatal case of natural infection with Haemoj^roteus in the valley quail. 2—60529.
