(VIII) Duy after covering or inoculation on which 

 in the loins or paraplegia was observed. From the following table it 

 would appear that stallions are less prone to nervous complications 

 than mares, and, when they are present, are exhibited at a later date. 



In Australian mares the first symptom, of weakness varied 

 I). -tween the 156th and 173rd day following covering, but in the 

 New Zealand mare the first symptom appeared on the 71st day. 



In country-bred mares, up to a period of 8 or 9 months after 

 covering, no symptoms of weakness across the loins or paralysis 

 had supervened, although in each instance the animal had passed 

 through the period of natural plaque eruption.
