Only 2, out of 12 experiments, have given a definite pyrogenic reaction. 

 It would seem, then, that the above preparations are not consistently 

 pyrexial for guinea pigs. 



EXPERIMENTS ON RABBITS 



In the following experiments, there is no evidence of fever as the result 

 of the proteose injections. The protocols are given, therefore, without 

 individual discussion. 



Table XII. — Experiment U6. Control saline injection. 



Rabbit; weight, 1,176 grams. Injected with 10 cubic centimeters of physiological salt solution 



at 10.15 a. m. on February 27.
