In each instance the measurements of the common-sized discs are 

 first set down ; n space is then left ; the small- and large-sized discs 

 are next noted ; and lastly, the average deduced from the preceding 

 numbers is placed beneath the line. Of the oval blood-discs, the 

 long diameter is denoted by the letters L.D., and the short diameter 

 by S.D. The blood was taken from adult living animals, unless 

 stated to the contrary.
