On December 19 and 20, the suspicious animals were retested. 
The normal temperatures were taken during a longer period 
than at any of the previous tests, covering the twelve hours pre- 
ceding the injection of tuberculin. The temperatures are given in 
the accompanying table. All were passed with the exception 
of Bonnie and Red Calf from A. 15. If the reactions are to be 
taken as evidence, the latter is tuberculous. Bonnie was held 
not so much on account of her reaction, which was moderate 
(1.2 ), as from the fact that on the morning after injection she 
had a peculiar cough, as though there were some irritation in 
her lungs. 
January 3 and 4, tested Ayrshire bull, Alton, previous to pur- 
chasing.
