Summary: The incidence of febrile convulsions was determined in six inbred strains of mice at four ages. Febrile convulsions were elicited by placing the mice in a cylinder with the air temperature raised to 51 ± 2 C C; this elevated the mouse's body and brain temperature to between 40 and 46 o C. The strains used were DBA/2Bg, DBA/lBg, DBA/lBg‐ras, C57BL/10Bg, C57BL/6Bg, and C57BL/6Bg‐Ga
