The temperature of the flowing blood was 103 s 
Spleen - - 103 
Stomach - - 101 
Colon 98 
Bladder of urine 97 
Atmosphere - 30. 
Three pigs, killed by a blow on the head, and by the imme- 
diate division of the large arteries and veins, entering the middle 
of the basis of the heart, had the blood flowing from these 
vessels of 106, 10 and 107°; the atmospheric temperature 
being at 31 0 . 
An ox, killed in a similar manner, the blood 103°; atmo- 
sphere 50°. 
Three sheep, killed by dividing the carotid arteries, and in- 
ternal jugular veins: their blood 105, 105, 105^°; atmosphere 4 T. 
Three frogs, kept for many days in an equable atmosphere 
at 54 0 ; their stomachs 62°. 
The watery fluid issuing from a person tapped for dropsy 
of the belly 10T: the atmosphere being 43 0 , and the tem- 
perature of the superficies of the body at 96°. 
These temperatures are considerably higher than the com- 
mon estimation. 
A man’s arm being introduced within a glass cylinder, it 
was duly closed at the end which embraced the head of the 
humerus ; the vessel being inverted, water at 97 0 was poured 
in, so as to fill it. A ground brass plate closed the lower 
aperture, and a barometer tube communicated with the water 
at the bottom of the cylinder. This apparatus including the 
arm, was again inverted, so that the barometer tube became a
