Table III. shows the number and the nature of the experi- 

 ments performed by each licensee mentioned in Table L, 

 specifying whether these experiments were done under the 

 license alone or under any special certificate. 



Table III. is divided into two parts, A. and B., for the pur- 

 pose of separating experiments which are performed without 

 anaesthetics from experiments in which anaesthetics are used. 



The total number of experiments included in Table III. 

 (A.) is 1885.

* In experiments performed under license alone, the animal must during 

 the whole of the experiment be under the influence of some anaesthetic of 

 sufficient power to prevent the animal feeling pain ; and the animal must, if 

 the pain is likely to continue after the effect of the anaesthetic has ceased, or 

 if any serious injury has been inflicted on the animal, be killed before it 

 recovers from the influence of the anaesthetic which has been administered. 



Certificate C allows experiments to be performed, under the foregoing pro- 

 visions as to the use of anaesthetics, in illustration of lectures. 



Certificate B exempts the person performing the experiment from the obli- 

 gation to cause the animal on which the experiment is performed to be killed 

 before it recovers from the influence of the anaesthetic ; and when the animal is 

 a dog or a cat, Certificate EE is also necessary. 



Certificate A allows experiments to be performed without anaesthetics ; 

 and when the animal on which the experiment is performed is a dog or a 

 cat, Certificate E is also necessary. 



Certificate F is required in all cases of experiments on a horse, ass, or 

 mule.
