The following was neither inflated, decapitated, nor had 

 the spinal cord destroyed. Its temperature was 105 ; 

 colour, white.

In this experiment we perceive that the first 

 decapitated, and which had also the spinal cord 

 destroyed, lost precisely the same number of de- 

 grees as the second, which was inflated with- 

 out having undergone any mutilation ; but we 

 perceive that it suffered a diminution of 3-4ths 

 of a degree more than the one which was laid 

 upon the table to cool. 



EXPERIMENT V. 



Temperature of the room 40 ; rabbit 105| ; colour, black 

 and white. In this the brain and spinal cord were re- 

 moved, as in the preceding instance.
