Fulica americana 146 Nov 25 Univ. Calif. Campus, Alameda Co., Calif. Some fat on this bird, at least it showed no sign of starvation. Its mouth contained a mass like substance, its stomach great deal of silica material with much green material. It crowed by living and getting its head & legs thru the wire mesh, then being unable to get its head back out. WR - weight 444 gms - went into this bird quickly and directly, proved to be a ♀ with large ovary. Sewed it back up with 1 stitch to hold the ribs together and four stitches in the skin. Some fat but not too bad. Nov 26 Same locality - All three birds saved yesterday are alive and seemingly in good shape today. WT seems to be especially active. While I was watching this bird # jumped up onto one of the catching cages, and then from there to a window sill. A moment later another bird followed. Of a ♀ X♂, being the two birds infected with malaria, were both dead this morning. Of weight 302 gms and X♂ weight 367 grams. X♂, a ♂ has a 7 mm testes, pointed at both ends so narrow. The bird smells like cauliflower, just a little putrid. Leg, wing, cloaca & syrinx were saved. Also made blood samples from two major carotid vessels near heart. Found a Trematode in the cardiac area, turned it over to Mrs. Samuels for identification.
