B. Experiments with Kresling's mallein. 

 Total number of horses diagnosed with 



mallein ...... 658 



Marked reaction in 230, of these 14 killed, all glandered. 



Slight „ 138 ,, 7 



Negative „ 290 ,, 1 killed, healthy. 



C. Experiments with the mallein of Roux. These have 

 been chiefly carried out by Nocard of Alfort at the horse 

 depot at Montoire, and at the stables of the Compagnie 

 l'Urbaine in Paris. 



Experiments at Montoire. 



Total number of horses injected with mallein, 233. 

 Each animal was injected three times at intervals of a 

 month. 



Group i. Reaction Temp. 1 '9-2° C. 



ii. ,, ,, i°-i-9° C. 



iii. „ ,, less than i° C. 



Ninety-two horses from all these groups were killed and 

 examined. All from group i. were glandered and eleven 

 others from groups ii. and iii. 



Experiments in stables of Compagnie l'Urbaine. 

 Total number of horses subjected to mallein 4348 

 Horses proved to be glandered . . 523

D. Schindelka, Rudovsky and others have used the 

 malleinum siccum of Foth. 



Horses injected .... 669 

 Horses examined post mortem . 252 

 Horses which reacted by fever of 2 C. and over, 



96 per cent. 

 Horses which reacted negatively, 4 per cent. 

 All horses which reacted by 2° C. and over were 

 proved on post mortem to be glandered.
