An acute inflammatory reaction was induced in fowls by i/p injection of turpentine. The birds were then killed at various intervals and the peritoneal exudate was sampled. The antihistamine mepyramine maleate was administered to another group of birds and the procedure repeated. After turpentine injections there was a biphasic increase in vascular permeability, the early phase apparently mediated by histamine.
