 stretched, and feet against foot-piece. When sitting height 

 was desired the animal was seated upright on head-piece and 

 foot-rest was brought in contact with head. 



Certain physiological observations also were made, chiefly 

 because of the unsatisfactory condition of Panzee. It was

discovered that the body temperature (rectal) of Chim ranged 

 normally from about 36° to 37.5°C. The diurnal variation 

 was surprisingly great. Panzee 's temperature ran some- 

 what higher, ranging cormnonly from 37.5° to 39°C. At 

 certain times her temperature was obviously subnormal 

 Whether or not the usual temperature was above normal for 

 her species, age, and sex, I do not know. 

 Panzee in appearance contrasted markedly with Chim.
