The normal heat in the 
ox being 102, those 
steers marked with an 
asterisk in the tables, 
were considered sus- 
picious. 
On November 19th, the owner, writing to inform me how 
his bullocks are, says — “ I do not see any of them fall off 
in any way from the inoculation. On Wednesday (five days 
after the operation) I saw some fluid issuing from the spot 
where the inoculation was performed.” 
Experiment No. 2. — On November 17th, one bull at Thorpe 
St. Andrew, from an infected herd, was operated on, his two 
companions having died from pleuro-pneumonia, age nine 
months, condition fair. Result to this date — unaffected, 
either locally or otherwise. 
Experiment No. 3. — On November 23rd were inoculated 
eleven Irish steers from an infected herd at Beighton, age two 
to three years, condition fresh. No local specific action was 
set up in the tail. Result — three attacked, two of which 
were killed and one recovered. 
Experiment No. 4. — On November 29th, ten steers from an 
infected herd at Bradfield, age three years, stall fed, condition 
forward. No heat or tenderness of the inoculated part of 
the tail or any observable effect followed. Result up to this 
time — all well. 
Experiment No. 5. — On December 6th, nine steers from an 
infected herd, at Basham were operated on, age three years, 
condition forward. No local or other observable action en- 
sued. Result — none attacked. 
Experiment No. 6. — On December 7 th, eighteen steers and 
stags, one and two years old, some fresh in condition and 
others poor, Irish bred. Result — before the end of the month 
three were attacked and six since, one badly diseased and 
died, four others were killed or died, and two recovered. 
These were part of an infected herd at Booton, to which 
further reference will be made. 
Experiment No. 7. — On December 8th, twenty steers from 
an infected herd at Freethorpe, age two to three years ; con- 
dition fresh. Result up to January 1 4th — all well. In this 
as in the experiments which follow, no local or constitutional 
disturbance or sign of illness occurred after the operation, 
and it will not be necessary to repeat the observation.
