    The thyroidal function was examined in 160 dairy cows and 40 pigs by the 131I-triiodothyronine resin sponge uptake test. The results obtained are as follows.
    In normal dairy cows, the mean of 131I-Triiodothyronine resin sponge uptake ratio (RSU) was 30.2±3.7%(range: 24.3-38.9%) for 40 Holsteins and 34.8±3.9%(range: 28.6-41.0%) for 15 Jerseys.
    In normal female pigs, the mean of RSU was 37.6±3.3%(range: 33.4-44.4%) for 11 Landraces and 35.9±4.0%(range: 32.3-41.0%) for 4 Yorkshires.
    The mean of RSU varied with the individual animal and the species. It was lower in pregnant animals than in normal females in both dairy cows and pigs.

    Asurvey was conducted on swine toxoplasmosis at the Matsumoto Slaughterhouse in Kagoshima Prefecture over a period from 1966 to 1968. The immunofluorescent (IF) test was much more efficient than Giemsa staining to prove the presence of toxoplasmas in clinical cases of swine toxoplasmosis. The lung and liver lymph nodes of clinically and laboratory diagnosed swines were markedly swollen to 4.5-6.0×1.5-2.5 cm and 6.0×2.3-3.0 cm, respectively, while those of healthy swine were 1.6-3.0.×0.6-1.5 cm and 1.6-4.0×1.1-2.0 cm, respectively.
    The authors observed toxoplasmas in the palatine tonsil of swine for the first time in Japan by the IF test, as well as by Giemsa staining. On the other hand, when 401 healthy (not diagnosed as toxoplasmosis) swine were examined, 28 and 20 of them showed swelling of liver and lung lymph nodes, respectively. The swelling of these lymph nodes was apparently attributed to some extent to pneumonia, but the principal cause of it was unknown.
    The swelling of those lymph nodes was not so severe as was seen in the true case of swine toxoplasmosis. Of 56 healthy swine examined. 18 were positive for the hemagglutination (HA) test and 4 proved by the IF test to harbor toxoplasmas in the lung and liver lymph nodes. These, 4 pigs, except one, exhibited high HA titers.

    Fresh rectal feces was examined in 208 cattle over a period from 1964 to 1970. Buxtonella sulcata JAMESON, 1926 was found in 64% of the cattle examined, but Balantidium in no cattle. In that species of Ciliata, the cytosome existed in the ventro- posterior portion of the body.
    A curved groove ran from the cytostome to the anterior end of the body. The cytopyge was found to be dorsal to the cytostome at the posterior end.
