| Red hen which had been killed for
meat. She was well grown and in
good flesh. When the body cavity
was opened it was found full Of menu
brane covered eggs. They represent
ed every possible stage Of absorption
from normal membrane s:.clled egg
t. collapsed empty egg membranes.
Some of the eggs and empty men,
or,ines were free In the body cavity.
Others were walled off in pockets either
singly or in aggregates. there was
ere large mass (twiee the size of n
hens egg) of empty tightly packed
egg membranes. At the time OF exam
ination Is absorbing eggs and avery
large number of empty membranes
were found. Eleven of the 10 eggs had
evidently been normal eggs although
many of them contained a homoGen-
eous mixture Of yolK and albumen at
the time examined. Four were double
eggs. That is, one egg enclosed within
another. One of the four was made
up Of a series Of four concentric eggs.
The inner egg being a small witch"
or cock egg.
The ovary of this bird was in the
same condition as the ovary of any
laying bird. 1t had a normal series
Of enlarg:ng yolks and resorbing fol-
licles. The oviduct as far as the pos
terror end of the isthmus or egg men,
brane secreting portion was also in
the normal laying condition. At the
posterior end of the istnmus the duct
ended blindly, although the ligament
which suspends the duct from the
body wall continued normally 10 til,
end Of the body cavity. There was
no shell gland or vagina TIE only
opening in the duct was the funne
mouth.
1t was evident that this bird was IL
the midst of a normal period of re
production and was producing eggs il
normal manner as far as her oviduct
allowed. The membrane shelled egg
then backed into the body cavity from
whence they were being absorbed a:
q rapid rate. The occurrence OF
double eggs shows that one egg die
not always get out OF the duct in time
to make way for the succeeding eggs.
The occurrence of the egg composed
of four cencentric eggs suggests that
the direction Of the movements of the
egg must have been considerably dis
tributed SO that this egg passed UP and
down the duct several times before it
was discharged into the body cavity.
The condition Of the internal organs of
the bird indicates that the physiolog-
ical processes Of digestion, absorption
and secretion were not seriously dis
turbed
The forward end Of the ovi6uct or
egg tube arises very early in the de,
velopment Of the chick embryo. The
tube then grows backward until 1t
reaches the region Of the vent. The
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-12-22

most probable explanation for the oc-
currence of the oviduct found in the
case described is that in early en-
bryonic development (probably on the
sixth or seventh day of incubation) the
backward growth of the oviduct
stopped permanently while the differ
entiation of the part already formed
continued in the normal manner.
AS in other cases where the passage
of the egg. is prevented the sex organs
pass through their normal reproduct-
i've cycles; the oviduct functioned as
far as the point where the passage was
interrupted; the eggs were then re-
turned to the body cavity and resorbed.
The number of eggs and empty egg
membranes found in this fowl which
was apparently in a perfectly normal
physical condition show that a bird
may possess very great power of re-
sorption of it's own eggs.

STERILE HENS.
Sometimes Caused by Closure OF the
Oviduct.

Probably every large flock of birds
possesses one of more birds which
have every external appearance OF To-
ing good layers but never lay an egg.
A number of such cases which have
occurred in the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station flock have been
Investigated. These cases have shown
that some birds which poss ss5 the
hereditary possibilities for high laying
cannot lay because of some defect in
the sex organs, usually the oviduct of
egg tube. This defect may be G. clos
ure of the duct at the funnel by adhes-
ion of the lips so that q yoIk caanot
enter the duct, or closure al any
level of the duct due to the formation
of tumor on the inside of the oviduct
wall, or it may be that the wall is
ruptured so that an egg cannot pass.
In all such cases the sex orgaus OF the
bird pass through the same changes
from non-laying to laying condition
as in the birds which actually produce
eggs. When the eggs cannot enter the
egg tube they are discharged into the
body cavity and absorbed. When they
can enter an INSTRUCTED duct they
pass down as far as the obstruction
and receive in the passage as many OF
the other egg parts as are normally
formed by the portion of the ovidact
above the obstruction. They are then
returned up the duct and eXtruded into
the body cavity. In case of rupture
of the duct the eggs are formed mol
mally until they reach the rupture
through which they pass into the body
ri w io
cavity are absorbed. A surprisingly
large number can be absorbed witnou.
causing any apparent inconvenience to
the bird.
An interesting case of bird which
was laying into the body cavity was
lately brought to the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station. The bird
was a wear and half old Rhode Island

painted it, the staging being still up
at the time of the fire. A defective
chimney was the cause. The place was
valued at some $4,000, on which there
was $500 insurance. The household

which was a total loss and the big
1O0x4O foot barn, containing 40 tons
of hay, livestock and machinery, was
saved.
