t From the observations of Dr. John Davy on 1 14 individuals of 

 the human species, of both sexes and of all ages, in various parts 

 of the world between England and the tropical portions of the East 

 Indies, the temperature in the mouth varied from 96-5 to 102, 

 and was generally found to be 1 or 2 higher when and where 

 the atmosphere was at 80, than in England during the colder 

 seasons of the year. 



I I have found the temperature of the horse 1 02 while standing 

 in the stable, and 105 after an hour's exercise in the open air.
