OF THE BLOOD: 



FIG. 103. 



For a critique showing that too much reliance must not be placed upon them, see 

 Woodward, Month. Mic. Journ., Feb. 1st, 1875. 



A Tabular summary of Mr. Gulliver's very numerous and accurate measurements 

 of the lied Corpuscles of the Blood of different animals, from all the classes and most 

 of the orders of the Vertebrate series, is contained in the Proceedings of the Zoologi- 

 cal Society, No. cii, and also in his edition of the Works of Hewson, already referred 

 to, published by the Sydenham Society (p. --57). Manassein (Ontralblatt, 1871, p. 

 689) finds that agents <>r conditions which lower the temperature of the body, as Mu- 

 riate of Quinine, Alcohol and Acute Amemia effect enlargement of the blood-corpus- 

 cles, whilst they are diminished in size by agents exalting the temperature of the 

 body, as Heat, Septiciemic poisoning, and exposure to Carbonic Acid. They enlarge 

 under exposure to Oxygen.
