EXPERIMENT 24 



Bull 392 Jf. — Known history prior to the experiment: Native 

 Batanes bull, 3 years old, received at the laboratory and placed 

 in quarantine April 13, 1915. This animal was kept under 

 observation seventy days before it was used, and at no time 

 during this period did it present a high temperature or show 

 any symptonis of sickness. 



June 22, 1915, bull 3924 was exposed in corral No. 1 to pig 

 207, which was on the second day of its temperature (see ex- 

 periment 2). This exposure was continued twenty-two days. 



History of pig 207 (see experiment 2) : 

 June 22: Temperature, p. m., 40.8° C. 

 June 23: Temperature, p. m., 40.9° C. 

 June 24: Temperature, p. m., 41.2° C. 

 June 25: Temperature, p. m., 40.8° C.

 This animal gradually recovered, but never became thrifty. 



Bull 3924 did not show a rise in temperature or present any 

 symptoms of sickness during this exposure. 



July 3, bull 3924 was inoculated with 100 cubic centimeters 

 of virulent rinderpest blood taken from a carabao in Imus. 



July 8, inoculated with 10 cubic centimeters of virulent rin- 

 derpest blood from bull 3930. 



July 11, bull 3924 presented an afternoon temperature of 

 40° C. This was the highest and only rise in temperature this 

 animal showed.
