Tuberculin Reaction in Monkeys. 
During the year 31 new monkeys have been tested by 
tuberculin injection according to our regular method. Twenty- 
two of these were passed. Of the remaining nine, 7 gave 
suspicious reactions and died or were killed. Two remain 
in the detention room for further testing. In May, 1909, 
a lot of seven monkeys was received, consisting of Red 
Monkey No. 21, Campbell's Monkey Nos. 22 and 23, White 
collared Mangabey No. 12, Yellow Baboon No. 51, Anubis 
Baboon No. 39 and Green Monkey No. 79. The last died 
of tuberculosis very shortly after arrival and not having been 
tested, is omitted from the total. 
Of these monkeys. Yellow Baboon No. 51 and White Col- 
lared Mangabey No. 12 died after injection of tubercuhn and 
before the temperature records were complete. They were 
tuberculous. Campbell's Monkeys Nos. 22 and 23 were con- 
demned and found tuberculous. Anubis Baboon No. 39 
and Red No. 21 were passed and sent to the Monkey House 
on May 30th. Anubis Baboon No. 39 was put into a cage 
with Anubis Baboon No. 38, Moloney's Monkey No. 1 and 
Malbrouck Monkey No. 2. On September 11, he was re- 
moved from the exhibition cage to the keeper's room because 
of purulent conjunctivitis. On September 14th, he w^as 
brought to the laboratory and the infected eye removed. 
The other eye became infected a week later and did not yield 
to treatment. The animal was killed September 24th, 1909. 
He had a caseous tubercle behind retina of second eye^

organs, and caseous nodules in posterior pharyngeal and 
mediastinal glands and in myocardium. The three monkeys 
in the same exhibition cage, viz., Anubis No. 38, Malbrouck

the laboratory, as were also the monkeys which had been in 
the keeper's room with him. Black Ape No. 8 and Mon-
