Abstract
MAY I be allowed to say that I read with much interest the article by Dr. A. Landsborough Thomson, in NATURE of January 12, upon bird-migration in relation to infectivity in connexion with this disease. I noted particularly the writer's statement that mystery still enshrouds the origin of the distinct outbreaks, and also that Dr. Thomson is by no means satisfied that even a prima facie case has been made out for the view that birds carry the virus into Great Britain.
