iiud at (5. 'JO J). in. it was observed he had iKit eaten all the food, 

 though otherwise he appeared normal. At 9.15 p.m. (or a little 

 over five <lays aftei' the tirst feed had been given) the animal was 

 fountl lyJTig down in ihe box, evidently suffering from abdominal 

 {)ain. Tenipeiature 102 deg. F. Pulse full, but weak and some- 

 what iriegular. Kespiration norjual, eyes bright with pupik 

 dilated. When disturbed, he rose and soon afterwards ate a little 

 food. At 10.45 }).ni. lie was again found lying down, groaning 

 with eolicy spasms, and struggling. He tried to get up, but was 

 unsuccessful. He continued to struggle violently for some minutes, 

 but later settled down. Pulse much accelerated, but gradually 

 slowed. 



At 11.45 p.m. there was another paroxysm similar to last, but 

 stiuggling was ))iactically confined to continual banging of the 

 head on the floor, and ]taddlijig motion of hind limbs. Gradually 

 he()uietened down, ami half-an-hour later manifested little tendency 

 to struggle when touched, but remained sensitive to all sounds and 

 skin irritation. Temperature 100.*2 deg. 



At ]'2.45 a.m. anotlier jtaroxysm of struggling (»ccurred. so the 

 animal was given morphine subcutanef>usly. and left for the night, 

 having been well bedded down. 



Next morning the animal was found to have knocked liimself 

 about a good deal during the night. 'Phidugliout the day he lay 

 ijuiet for the most part, but off and on theie weie periods of strug- 

 gling. Temperature did nf)t rise, but respirations became 

 more lalioured. though hy})ersensitiveness was still juarked, until 

 j-'emi-con)a ensued shortly before death. The animal died at 5 p.m., 

 20 hours after having been first noticed lying down, having struggled 

 a good deal dui'ing the last hoiir.
