 the past six and a half months, April to October 15th, 55 fresh 

 plaques have appeared, viz., 16, 6, 16, 9, 2, 1, and 5 in the re- 

 Bpeotive months. It would appear in this animal's case that the 

 march of 28- miles up to Muktesar had accelerated the eruption of

 previous to starting for the hills. The first plaque appeared on 

 June 6th, 1903, and the last was seen on 13th October 1904- ; so 

 that in a period of 16 months 143 plaques made their appearance. 

 The temperature for the most part varied but little between 87*5
