The inoculation may be : (i) Cutaneous, that is, rubbing 

 into the unbroken skin ; (2) Subcutaneous, with a syringe, 

 or by cutting the skin and putting the material in a pocket 

 in the subcutaneous tissue and stitching up the skin wound ; 

 (3) Intraperitoneal ; (4) Intramuscular ; (5) Intrapleural ; 

 (6) Intravenous ; (7) Into the stomach by a tube, or by 

 ordinary feeding ; and (8) By inhalation. 



The various processes are described as required under 

 the particular microbes concerned. The average tempera- 

 tures of the more commonly used animals and a few 

 others may be here conveniently tabulated. The table 

 is compiled from Abel's " Laboratory Handbook of 

 Bacteriology," and from various other sources.
