SEIGER COUNTER LOG, BURLESON LABORA- 

 TORY. Aboard the APA-67 "Burleson" an officer 

 from the Naval Medical Research Institute ex- 

 amines samples for radioactivity. With far less 

 modern apparatus the Curies in the I 890's tested 

 innumerable samples in their painstaking search 



for the elements responsible for the newly dis- 

 covered phenomenon, radioactivity. On-the-spot 

 laboratories such as "Burleson's" made possible 

 the detection and study of even the earliest symp- 

 toms of any radiological diseases contracted by 

 the animals.
