August 3, died of rinderpest, presenting typical lesions of 

 that disease upon autopsy. 



In summing up the results of this experiment, it is proved 

 that a carabao can contract rinderpest from pigs sick with that 

 disease when the carabao is exposed to the pigs by direct contact,

EXPERIMENT 37 



Carabao 51. — Known history prior to the experiment: This 

 animal was a native carabao from Aparri, 6 years old; it was 

 received at the laboratory and placed in quarantine May 11, 

 1916, and was kept under observation thirty-three days before 

 it was used in this experiment. 



May 26, 1916, carabao 51 was used in an experiment on vacci- 

 nation against rinderpest by the injection of desiccated virulent 

 blood, but gave no reaction. 



At no time during the period of observation did this animal 

 present a high temperature or show any symptoms of sickness.
