โฆ Synopsis
The bacteriological profile of a chicken hatchery in Jamaica was examined. The bacterial numbers in each room of the hatchery and the effect of washing with disinfectant on the bacterial population were determined. A representative number of the bacterial isolates before and after washing the hatchery was identified. The results indicate that, while washing with quaternary ammonium compounds did not affect the Gram-negative bacteria, the number of Gram-positive bacteria was significantly decreased. Bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas, Plesiomonas and Enterobacter were predominant in the post-washing flora. The water used to wash the hatchery was contaminated and therefore a possible source of contamination.

## FIVE FIGURES A new mutation of fowl resulting in a rumpless condition has recently been discovered and investigated by Landauer ( '41, '45). Quite unlike the dominant rumpless mutation which had been described earlier\*by Dunn ( '25) and Landauer ( '28)' this new variant behaves as a recessive
