The fact that the chicks were of different ages and hatchings,makes these findings more significant from the standpoint ofundernutrition and infection. Further, it will be observed thatthe onset of tlie pathologj became evident at varying times. Forexample, in Group AD 2, of the 37 chicks, the range in timevaried from 14 to 62 days.
