Abstract
By intravenous injection of insulin, the canary, pigeon, duck, and rooster are shown to be more resistant than the mouse, rat, rabbit, and dog, as judged by the convulsive dose, speed of reaction, and blood sugar determinations in the duck and rooster. Among the birds, the duck is the most, and the rooster, the least sensitive. The latter fails to develop convulsions even with lethal doses of insulin.
