%X Part 1 (ibid. pp. 443-450) was not abstracted. 2. Supplements of salt, grain or both offered to wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in ACT, Australia, had no effect on length of breeding season and although the condition of the young rabbits improved they still differed in adrenal histology, incidence of anaemia and rate of growth from those in other parts of Australia. The cause of the pathology was not known, though protein deficiency was suggested as the most likely explanation.
