Thrush

a disease of the mucous membrane (mainly of the oral cavity) caused by yeastlike fungi that are normal inhabitants of the mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract. Thrush is a form of candidiasis. The disease primarily affects infants; in adults it accompanies chronic illnesses that are characterized by emaciation (dysentery, typhuses). Thrush is manifested by milky white deposits in the mouth, which gradually increase in size and merge, resembling the remains of milk. When the deposits are removed, redness or bleeding occurs. Treatment includes gargling with alkaline solutions, application of a 5 percent solution of iodine, and vitamin therapy. Antibiotic 26/1 (Levorin) and iodine preparations may be used internally.

The narrowest observed elevational ranges were generally evident in a handful of species that are restricted to relatively low (for example, Belted Kingfisher, Willow Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Veery, Brown-headed Cowbird) or relatively high (for example, Clark's Nutcracker, Horned Lark, Mountain Bluebird, American Pipit) habitats in the parks.

Quine soberly and succinctly relates the outrage and alarm he shared with his colleagues, "with two rather vacillating exceptions." When Pivcevic asks who, Quine respectfully declines: "De mortuis nihil nisi bonum." In a 1993 interview with Veery, we see Quine's patient silence allow the interviewer to clarify poorly asked questions.
