550 DISEASE IN WILD MAMMALS AND BIRDS 
within two years. The similarity to the primate type of 
temperature curve is striking. 
Chart Z shows the course of temperature before and 
after tuberculin injection in a Bactrian Camel {Camelus 
hactrianus) 9 which lived for some months and showed 
no infection at autopsy. 
Charts AA and BB show the temperature ranges of 
respectively a healthy and a tuberculous Bison {Bison 
bisoii.) 
Chart CC is that of a Malayan Sambur Deer {Cervus 
equinus) which died a week after injection, showing fibro- 
caseous tuberculosis. The failure to make an initial rise 
is noteworthy, but the fall in temperature may be 
explained by the severity of the lesions and the 
approaching death. 
Chart DD represents daily and post-injection records 
of a Virginia Deer (Cervus virginianus) which at death 
was found free of the disease. Cliart EE is that of a 
healthy American Elk (Cervus canadensis).
