Excerpt from The Gid Parasite and Allied Species, of the Cestode Genus Multiceps: I. Historical Review Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for pubhcation as a bulletin, the accompanying manuscript entitled "The Gid Parasite and Allied Species of the Cestode Genus Multiceps. Part 1. Historical review," by Maurice C. Hall, of the Zoological Division of this Bureau. Mr. Hall has been making a most comprehensive study of gid, and his investigations will furnish an important contribution to our knowledge of this deadly disease of sheep, which has only in recent years been recognized as established in the United States, the first definite evidence of its presence as an enzootic having been published in 1905 in Bureau of Animal Industry Bulletin 66. It is intended to publish later, as succeeding parts of the present bulletin, the results of Mr. Halls investigations, now in progress, concerning the morphology and life histories of the parasites in question, as well as the symptomatology, treatment, prophylaxis, etc., of gid.
