Two mice were injected with 0“5 c.c. each of fresh serum, and two guinea-pigs of 700 grams weight received 2 c.c. each, and no ill effects were observed in any of the animals. Mallein 2cc R.V.C.

Second mallein reaction of horse 39K. On comparing the temperature curves of the foregoing horse (39K) with the average curves obtained from 19 horses (tested before admission to the stables), which gave both the local and temperature reaction and which, on post-mortem, were found to be glandered (see Chart III), it will be seen that the maximum rise in temperature in the case of horse 39K corresponded exactly with the average rise in definitely glandered horses. Comparing Charts I and II with Charts III and IV (the latter giving a typical temperature reaction for a glandered horse) it will be noted that the general slope of the curves is different. In glandered horses the highest temperature is apparently reached 15 hours after the injection of mallein and the fall in temperature is gradual. In the case
