\begin{Description}\relax
Reynolds (1994) describes a small part of a study of the long-term
temperature dynamics of beaver \emph{Castor canadensis} in
north-central Wisconsin.  Body temperature was measured by telemetry
every 10 minutes for four females, but data from a one period of
less than a day for each of two animals is used there.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
beaver1
beaver2
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Format}\relax
The \code{beaver1} data frame has 114 rows and 4 columns on body
temperature measurements at 10 minute intervals.

The \code{beaver2} data frame has 100 rows and 4 columns on body
temperature measurements at 10 minute intervals.

The variables are as follows:
\describe{
\item[day] Day of observation (in days since the beginning of
1990), December 12--13 (\code{beaver1}) and November 3--4
(\code{beaver2}).
\item[time] Time of observation, in the form \code{0330} for
3:30am
\item[temp] Measured body temperature in degrees Celsius.
\item[activ] Indicator of activity outside the retreat.
}
\end{Format}
\begin{Note}\relax
The observation at 22:20 is missing in \code{beaver1}.
