was kept under observation forty-three days before it was used 

 in this experiment. 



December 31, 1915, D. 



January 1, 1916, D. 



January 2-3, D., E. L. This condition was undoubtedly due 

 to dietary conditions, as the animal did not present a high tem- 

 perature. 



January 4, cow 39*87 was inoculated with 150 cubic centi- 

 meters of mixed virulent blood from pig 237 and bull 3976. 

 (For history of pig 237, see experiment 9.) (For history of 

 bull 3976, see experiment 21.) 



January 7, cow 3987 presented a morning temperature of 

 39.1° C. and an afternoon temperature of 40.4° C. 



January 9, E. L. 



January 10, E. L., bled to death for virulent blood to be used 

 in immunization work. 



In summing up the results of this experiment it will be noted 

 that the potency of the virulent blood is not materially affected 

 by mixing pig and cattle blood. 



CATTLE DRENCHED WITH URINE FROM PIGS SICK WITH RINDERPEST 



The following experiments were designed to furnish informa- 

 tion regarding the possibility of cattle contracting rinderpest 

 from the urine of pigs suffering with rinderpest. 



EXPERIMENT 34 



Cow 3978. — Known history prior to the experiment: Native 

 Batanes bull, 2 years old, received at the laboratory and placed 

 in quarantine October 23, 1915. It was kept under obser- 

 vation fifty-two days before it was used. During this period 

 it did not present a high temperature or show any symptoms of 

 sickness. 



December 14, 1915, bull 3978 was drenched with 30 cubic 

 centimeters of urine from pig 155. Water was added to the 

 urine, making the quantity 250 cubic centimeters. This urine 

 had also stood overnight. 



History of pig 155 (see experiment 8) : 



December 14: Temperature, a. m., 40.2' C; p. m., 40.6° C. 

 This animal ran a mild course of the disease and did not develop 

 inappetence or diarrhoea. 



Bull 3978 did not develop any reaction to this drench. 



January 18, 1915, bull 3978 was inoculated with 400 cubic 

 centimeters of virulent rinderpest blood procured from a cara- 

 bao sick with rinderpest in Pampanga Province.
