thyroids left in situ. Glycosuria persisted from Dec. 23 to Dec. 

 25 ; twitchings of musculature of the back were noted the following 

 day. The twitchings persisted though daily subcutaneous injec- 

 tions of calcium lactate were given. Dog was found dead Dec. 26. 

 Autopsy: No pneumonia. Stomach filled with blood. No food 

 present. Mucosa of the pylorus covered with numerous hemor- 

 rhagic erosions.

Table V. — Note the increase of bloodsugar in dogs 136 and 138 

 after partial ligation. A similar increase in dog III, previously 

 reported, after the same procedure. In three dogs the diabetes 

 caused by pancreatectomy was not checked by partial ligation, 

 but became even more intense. Compare these figures for blood- 

 sugar with the normal figures in dog 100 after thyroidectomy with 

 the diminished amounts after thyroidectomy with partial para- 

 thyroidectomy in the other dogs. The bloodsugar of dog 138 

 which amounted to 100 mgr. was found on a day when he was 

 free of urinary sugar and free from tetany. We did not succeed 

 in obtaining blood from dog 139 after thyroidectomy as his veins 

 at the neck collapsed so that it was impossible to introduce a 

 needle.
