The frequent eructation of gas and pauses caused by rumination render the rhythm of respiration more irregular in ruminant than in other mammals. In the horse the normal respiratory movements may be placed at about ten in a minute; after only the slight exercise of walking two hundred yards, respiration in the horse may be increased to twenty-eight.

In all animals similar facts may be noticed. Thus, in the sheep the normal rate of respiration is fifteen in the minute, and after running may be raised to one hundred or one hundred and forty in the minute; 01.
