62 THE LAWS OF ORGANIC 



In this example we perceive that the thermo- 

 meters in the rectum indicate precisely the same 

 loss of temperature, while those of the abdomen 

 vary li ; but this difference is in favour of the 

 rabbit whose general circulation was stopped. 

 The following experiment is the last I shall ad- 

 duce.
