of dyspnea. At 6.35 a.m. she was still lying upon her belly, with 4 
her head through the fence and swinging it from side to side. She 
was taken up and put upon her feet and walked a little distance, 
staggering as she walked. At 6.40 a. m. her pulse was 140, the heart 
beating very hard. Her temperature was 100.6° F. and her respi- . 
ration 24. The animal was standing with her head lowered and b | 
swinging from side to side. She staggered across the pen, hit her 
head against the fence, and pushed forward, with her head partly 
twisted and under her body. As she lay down her head kept swinging 
from side to side. At 8 a. m. she was able to walk, but staggered as 
she moved. Her head was still swinging, pendulum fashion, from 
side to side. She pushed up against the side of the pen, preferably 
in a vorner, with her héad flexed toward the breast, so that at times 
she almost stood upon her head. | 
Plate III, figures 1 and 2, taken at 7.55 a. m. and 8 a. m., respec- 
tively, show the positions assumed. At 8.55 a. m. the sheep was 
lying quietly at the front of the pen. Her respiration was 80. She 
no longer swung her head from side to side and did not attempt to 
push it against the side of the pen. At 9 a. m. her temperature was 
102.6° F., her pulse 102, and her respiration 86. The pulse was 
rather weak. There was some dyspnea. She lay on her belly with 
her head to the left side and was quiet. At 9.15 a. m. she was up and 
about the corral. She would butt against the fence, then fall, 
extend the legs rigidly, and breathe rapidly. There was no rhythmic } 
motion of the head at this time. At 9.40 a. m. she lay panting, with 
some frothing at the mouth. At 9.55 a. m. her pulse was 132, and 
strong in the femoral artery. Her respiration was 200, panting; her 
temperature was 103.2° F. She got her head into the corner of the 
corral and shoved forward until she almost stood upon her head. 
She struggled to push herself into this position, and as she was 
standing upon boards during the struggle her feet would sometimes 
slip and she would fall. After falling she would get up and start the 
butting process over again. At 10.35 a. m. she lay with her head 
to one side, the respiration being very rapid. She was disturbed, 
got up and started butting against the fence as before. This was kept 
up for two or three minutes, then she went down and remained lying 
with her head on one side. Plate IV, figure 1, shows-her position at 
10.40 a.m. At 10.55 a.m. the animal was up again and butting into 
the corners as before. She was drenched with 30 c. c. of whisky and 
an equal quantity of water. Her pulse was 132 and strong. At 
11.55 a. m. she stood with her head low and part of the time on one 
side. Plate IV, figure 2, shows her in this position. There was a 
rapid chewing motion of the jaws; the motion was dorsiventral and 
not lateral. She bumped her head into the fence as before and
