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

 ments performed by each licensee mentioned in Table I., 

 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 

 purpose of separating experiments which are performed with- 

 out anaesthetics from experiments in which anaesthetics are used. 



The total number of experiments included in Table III. 

 (A.) is 2049. 



Of these there were performed, — 



Under License alone . . .1176 



„ Certificate C . . .174 



,, Certificate B 454 



„ Certificate B + EE . . 245 



Table III. (B.) is devoted entirely to inoculations, hypo- 

 dermic injections, and some few other proceedings, performed 

 without anaesthetics. It includes 9596 experiments, whereof 

 there were performed, — 



Under Certificate A 9504 

 „ Certificate A + E . . . 78 



„ Certificate A + F . . . 14 



The total number of experiments is 11,645, being 806 more 

 than in 1900; the increase in the number of experiments 

 included in Table III. (A.) is 164, and in Table III. (B.) 642. 



All experiments involving a serious operation are placed in 

 Table III. (A.). The larger part of the experiments included 

 in this table, viz., all performed under license alone, and 

 under Certificate C, 1350 in number, are unattended by pain, 

 because the animal is kept under an anaesthetic during the 

 whole of the experiment, and must, if the pain is likely to con- 

 tinue 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. 



In the experiments performed under Certificate B, or B 

 linked with EE, 699 in number, the initial operations are 

 performed under anaesthetics, from the influence of which the 

 animals are allowed to recover. The operations are performed
