self reduction. The following table gives the results of Morawitz' and 

 Masing's experiments at Col d'Olen (10,000 feet) from which it will 

 be seen that they were able to discern no sudden increase in the 

 haemoglobin formation. The respiratory activity of the blood itself 

 was appreciably less in the case of "P.M." as the result of his climb 

 to Col d'Olen than in the result of losing 400 c.c. of blood, whilst in 

 the case of "E.M." there was no greater evidence of young corpuscles 

 on Monte Rosa than at Heidelberg.

When I was working at the Col d'Olen laboratory the question 

 of the increase of red corpuscles was the subject of research by 

 Cohnheim (9) and his collaborators. They arrived at the same
