A puncture an eighth of an inch behind this centrewill be followed often by a temperature of 1050, which re-mains sometimes till next day or falls rapidly back to nor-mal. Now, the whole thermal apparatus is so very sensi-tive that a puncture anywhere in it may be accompanied bya temporary rise of temperature, and a puncture in theneighborhood of a thermotaxic centre may so disorder itthat it may be accompanied by a low rise of temperature,which may last till next day. I see no reason to doubt. Fig- 5- Puncture into thermotaxic centre about the gray matter at most anterior part oi third ven-tricle, that the thalamic is not circumscribed. As to the caudatenucleus, it takes twenty-four to forty-eight hours for itslesion to attain a temperature of 1070, which is the highesttemperature accompanying this injury. No other thermotaxic centre in the brain is like it inthat respect, all the other five being rapid risers. The riseof temperature after insults to caudate nucleus is accom-panied by an augmented absorption of oxygen, excretionof carbonic acid and urea, according to Messrs. Sachs and I 8 ISAAC OTT. Aronsohn. The great difference in these basal thermo-taxic centres, with regard to their accompanying temper-ature curves as to rapid and slow rise of temperature, theirshort and long duration make it self-evident that we aredealing with different centres.
