feet types. But as the paroxysms of the imperfect 

 types, after the commencement of the neaps, are 

 generally disposed to become less distinct in 

 their form, and therefore not so easily reducible to 

 the figure of a diagram, I have confined my repre- 

 sentation of types to the period of the springs; 

 M'hen the paroxysms or fe\'ers happen towards the 

 middle of the day and night; and are most regu- 

 lar and distinct. 



\st. Days are. represented by the divisions of the 

 horizontal lines of the table. 



Qc/iy. The paroxysms of fevers are represented by 

 dots placed above and below these lines. 



3diy. Single dots above the line represent single 

 paroxisms happening towards the middle part of 

 the day, and are pointed out by the letter d (for 

 diurnal) placed at their beginning on the left. 



A:thly. Single dots hclow the line represent single 

 paroxysms happening towards the middle part of 

 the night, and are pointed out by the letter n (for 

 nocturnal) placed at their beginning on the left. 



5tldy. Two dots in one division, the one abo^oe, 

 the other belozv the line, denote a diurnal and noc- 

 turnal paroxysm on the same day. 



Gthly. The different successions of dots on the 

 different horizontal lines of the table, proceeding 

 from the beginning of the line on the left to its 

 termination on the right, exhibit examples of va- 

 rious successions of paroxysms; constituting spe- 

 cimens oi different febrile types thai: occur daily in 

 the course of nature.
