Two hundred cubic centimeters of this mixture were adminis- 

 tered as a drench to a control animal, which was isolated in a 

 screened stall. This animal contracted rinderpest in the usual 

 time. 



Thirty-six hours later, 3209 received an equal amount of the 

 diluted faeces and urine, was isolated, and developed rinderpest 

 in the usual time. 



At sixty hours, 3211 was given a similar dose. This animal 

 failed to develop rinderpest. 



On the eighty-fourth hour, 3213 received a similar dose, but 

 failed to become infected. 



Bull 3215 was exposed in a similar manner at one hundred 

 eight hours, and gave negative results.

The susceptibility of bulls 3211, 3213, and 3215 was proved 

 subsequently.

It is concluded that rinderpest virus from faeces, mixed with 

 water, survived only thirty-six hours.
