for goats and are connected with an enclosure in the 

 open-air. Here are also further to be found a harness- 

 room (36), a coach-house (37), a small room (41) for 

 researches best undertaken in the stable itself, in the 

 immediate proximity of the animals, and a small pas- 

 sage (42) from which there is a way out into the open 

 air and a staircase leading to the apartments occupied 

 by the stable man and the caretaker. From the central pas- 

 sage (43) there is, on the south side, an exit (45) into 

 the open air; and at the other end a door opening into 

 the bleeding room (47). This occupies the height of the 

 two stories of the building and receives light from above. 

 In the adjoining room (48) the drawn blood is left for 

 coagulation to take place and for the subsequent prepa- 

 ratory treatment. Apart from the rest of the stables is 

 a small stable with one stall (48) and a loose box (49) 

 for sick horses; it has a special entrance (50) on the 

 north side and is to be used for isolating suspected 

 cases amongst the serum horses. Above the isolating 

 stable there are a few rooms for an assistant, and a 

 bathroom for the subordinates of the staff; all these rooms 

 are reached through the door (51) on the east side. 



The house intended/or small animals (rabbits, guinea- 

 pigs, rats, mice, poultry, pigeons, etc.) contains a single 

 room with a lerrazzo floor on which the guinea-pigs 

 can be kept in movable wooden frames. The animal 

 house is enclosed on three sides by a yard paved with 

 concrete. The animals pass into this through a number 

 of small openings in the two side-walls. On each of 

 these walls, at some distance from the ground, a number 

 of rabbit hutches are arranged. In the middle of the 

 ground (see plan of site) there is a pond for aquatic 

 birds, frogs, and other animals.
