Abstract

A group of 10 male burros was exposed to a total of 350 r weekly in six daily doses of 58.3 r of cobalt-60 y-radiation until death. These will be identified by the term 50 r/day. A second group of 10 male burrows was exposed to 25 r daily until death. The exposure rate was 48 r/hr. The exposure device and dosimetry have been previously described (4). Hemoglobins were determined colorimetrically by the method of Dupray as modified by Wong and Hanzel (5-7). Platelet counts were made by the BrecherCronkite method (8), and the remainder of the hematologic values were obtained by methods described by Wintrobe (9). Plasma irons were determined by the method of Kitzes et al. (10). Electrocardiographic records were made with a Sanborn cardette, model 70, with an attached universal lead selector. The total hay and water consumption of all the animals was recorded daily.
