These differences in response to the injections of egg- 

 white seem to be characteristic of certain groups or batches 

 of animals and not of individuals within the group. Our 

 laboratory buys its rabbits in lots of from twenty-five to 

 one hundred. If one out of a given lot responds to a certain 

 dose of egg-white we have found that others of the same 

 lot respond in much the same way. Whether this is due 

 to differences in food or in breed we have not determined, 

 but are inclined to believe that breed has much to do with 

 it. Possibly, age is an individual factor.
