In this experiment, in which the first rabbit 

 was decapitated, and whose spinal cord was de- 

 stroyed, its temperature, at the conclusion, was 

 3^ above that of the second, which was not 

 decapitated, but inflated with cold air, and 2 

 above that of the last, which was not decapitat- 

 ed nor inflated, and whose spinal cord was left 

 uninjured.
