Abstract
On May 14, 1919, a Rhode Island Red was found to be too heavy in the abdomen to stand erect. She was killed and examined on May 15.
Five soft-shell eggs were taken from her abdominal cavity. The eggs are shown in the cut and the weights and sizes are:

In addition to the normal yolks the eggs were filled with a mixture of albumen and water. The large size of four of the eggs was probably due to the entrance of the body liquid into the egg by osmotic pressure.
As there were masses of yolk material in the abdominal cavity, evidently a number of yolks had traversed the oviduct rapidly and fallen into the body cavity. The …
