"Then come the amphibia and the fish," resumed the Doctor, "whose temperature varies with that of the water. The serpent has a temperature of 86°, the frog 70°, and the shark several degrees less. THEN COME THE AMPHIBIA AND THE FISH RESUMED THE DOCTOR WHOSE TEMPERATURE VARIES WITH THAT OF THE WATER THE SERPENT HAS A TEMPERATURE OF EIGHTY SIX DEGREES THE FROGS SEVENTY DEGREES AND THE SHARK SEVERAL DEGREES LESS
man beings. The temperature of Englishmen averages 101°." "I am sure Mr. Altamont is going to claim a higher rate for his countrymen," said Johnson, smiling. "Well, sure enough, we've some precious hot ones among us, but as I never have put a thermometer down their throats to ascertain, I can't give you statistics." "There is no sensible difference," said the Doctor, "between men of different races when they are placed under the same conditions, whatever their food may be. I may almost say their temperature would be the same at the Equator as the Pole." "Then the heat of our bodies is the same here as in England," replied Altamont. "Just about it. The other species of mammalia are generally hotter than human beings. The horse, the hare, the elephant, the porpoise, and the tiger are nearly the same; but the cat, the squirrel, the rat, the panther, the sheep, the ox, the dog, the monkey, and the goat, are as high as 103°; and the pig is 104°." "Rather humiliating to us," put in Altamont.
