DEEP BODY TEMPERATURE OF UNTETHERED DOLPHIN RECORDED BY INGESTED RADIO TRANSMITTER.

Information concerning body temperature was recorded by radio transmission from within a dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, swimming freely in a pool. The temperature varied according to the activity of the animal and appeared to oscillate when the dolphin was returned to the pool after a brief period outside it. The transmitter was passed approximately 17 hours after it had been swallowed. A new type of antenna was used with the circuit. The transmitter can be adapted for telemetering heart beat, movement, aquatic animals.

MICROVIBRATIONS IN MAN AND DOLPHIN.

Microvibrations were recorded from the dorsal body surface of a bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) while it swam in water and while it lay on a foam rubber mattress in an air environment. Unlike poikilothermic water-living animals which do not manifest microvibrations, this homeothermic mammal has 13-cycle per second microvibrations similar to those of man and other homeotherms. For comparative purposes, microvibrations of 11 cycles per second were recorded from the arm of a man while lying on the same mattress. The nature and origin of these microvibrations is discussed in relation to physiological tremors and shivering.

ANESTHESIA FOR THE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN, TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS.

Anesthetics can be administered to the bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, by means of special ventilating equipment and intubation techniques. Nitrous oxide has been administered successfully on six occasions, and has produced definite signs of anesthesia. These developments open the possibility of performing major surgery in this species for the first time.
