DISCUSSION OF RESULTS. 47 had slipped out, it was unquestionably more or less covered by the labia and the fleshy portion of the leg, so that the temperature was not extremely low. The subject lay in a somewhat curled-up position after the placing of the ther- mometer in the groin, which helped to keep the record of the vaginal ther- mometer high in spite of the fact that it was not deeply inserted. An unusually long time was required for the thermometers in the artificial cavities to reach constancy, this being unquestionably due to the imperfect closing of the cavities. The curves for these localities follow each other quite closely, but illustrate admirably the difficulty of securing proper temperature records without special precautions for perfect closure. ;C 37 2 PM. Fig. 16. Temperature eurves for experimeni of January 6, 1911, with Mrs. B—1. The results of the temperature measurements are given in fig. 16. The curves for the rectal and axilla thermometers are marked in the usual way, while the curve for the vagina is designated as V, that for the thermometer placed under the breast as S, and for the thermometer in the groin as G. Experimentof January 7,1911, wift J. J. C—Both, the deep and the shallow thermometers were used in the rectum, inserted to a depth of 10 centimeters and 5 centimeters respectively. Temperature records were also taken simul- taneously in both axillas, the arms being folded across the chest and held in place by cloth bandages so as to insure perfect closure. The subject sat in a chair during the experiment and was very sleepy. At 12h 09m p. m., both axilla thermometers were removed so as to give more freedom of movement. Between 12h 16m p. m. and 12h 36m p. m. the subject ate a dinner consisting. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may hav
