The temperature of other warm-blooded animals. — The observations 
upon the temperature of animals are numerous, but have not been 
repeated often enough under different condition- whirl 1 are known to 
affect the temperature of man. On this account, and also because 
animals are known to have a somewhat variable temperature, it is 
impossible in most cases to give the mean temperature. The following 
table gives some of the results obtained by different observers : —
