Key to Signs in Tables 217 



IX. Tests tvitli Anti- Amphibian Serum. 



Anti-frog serum, tested on 551 bloods, only gave reactions with the 

 bloods of Ranidae. 



X, Tests with Anti-Crustacean Serum. 



Anti-lobster serum, tested on 450 bloods, only gave reactions with 

 the bloods of Decapoda. 



Key to Signs used in the Tables. 



In the following tables, the animals are placed in their zoological 

 order, the blood samples tested being numbered continuously in the 

 first column, in the second column in the order in which they were 

 tested. As far as possible the scientific and common names of each 

 animal have been given, this being followed by its habitat. The 

 collector's name is placed in brackets. Where the bloods from one 

 source are numerous, the name is represented by an inital, thus (Z) 

 denotes that the blood was collected at the Zoological Society's Gardens, 

 London; (R) stands for de Rothschild; (N) for Nuttall ; (F) for Foster; 

 (L. C.) for Dr Louis Cobbett ; (G.-S.) for Dr Graham-Smith ; (Lane) 

 and (Mitchell) are two of our laboratory attendants. Where the habitat 

 of the animal or the collector's name is omitted refer to the preceding 

 samples for particulars. 



Where not otherwise stated, the bloods were all collected and dried 

 on filter-paper. Fluid sera are indicated by the abbreviations " fl." or 

 " fl. in cap." (cap. standing for capillary tubes). Some sera were dried 

 on glass, and the dry scales kept bottled and used for tests ; such are 

 described as " scales." In' some cases the fluid serum had been filtered 

 (fl. ser. filt.), in others it is stated that the blood sample was collected 

 from a wound or cut, and again from what disease the animal died, 

 etc. 



The names of the antisera used are given at the top of the columns 

 on the right. The antisera obtained from rabbits are named according 

 to the animal's blood or serum with which the rabbit had been treated. 

 These antisera are also ordered zoologically from left to right in a 

 manner corresponding to the whole series of bloods.
