the antineuritic value of the muscle from the loin as compared with 
that of the muscle from the shoulder. 
f The muscle fed to pen 8 was taken from the round of another fat 
carcass of beef and dried at room temperature (25° to 30° C.). The 
result obtained with this pen is very similar to that described for 
pen 7. On the other hand, pen 4, fed a ration containing 25 per cent 
of muscle from the round of another carcass, the tissue being dried

at 60° C., had a much shorter survival period, 18.8 days as compared 
with 29.2 days for pen 8. This difference is probably due to the fact 
that pen 8 contained one very resistant bird, No. 35, while in pen 
4 all the birds developed polyneuritis by the twenty-fourth day. 
The three other birds in pen 8 developed polyneuritis by the twenty- 
fifth day. Apparently the muscle dried at room temperature had 
no greater antineuritic value than that dried at 60° C.
