On the Structure of Finite Continuous Groups with Exceptional Transformations.

(6) There was. no material difference in temperature between a depth of 6 inches and one of 7 inches, while there was a distinct difference of temperature between a depth of 4 inches and one of 6 inches, thus showing the unreliability of measurements of temperature at a depth of less than 6 inches. (7) The standing as compared with the lying position of the animal had hardly any effect on the body temperature, but there was some indication that the temperature was slightly affected when measured shortly after the change in position had been made. (8) There was no difference in body temperature when measured before or after defecation. (9) Daily fluctuations in body temperature depend to a great extent on the individuality of the cow. (10) A variation of 0.80 i. in the rectal temperature of the same animal was observed, when measured at the same hour of the day under identical conditions and outside the influence of water or feed, while under the influence of water a difference of 1.3°0 '. was observed at the same hour on two consecutive days. A detailed report of the results will appear in the Journal of Agricultural Research.
