NOTE (28), p. 133. 

 According to the analyses of Playfair and Boeckmann, 



0-452 parts of dry muscular flesh gave 0-836 of carbonic acid. 



0-407 0-279 of water. 



0-242 0-450 of carbonic acid and 0-164of water, 



0-191 0-360 0-130 



0-305 of dried blood gave 0-575 carbonic acid and 0-202 of water. 



0-214 0-402 0-138 



1-471 of dried blood, when calcined, left 0-065 of ashes = 4-42 per cent. 



The dried flesh was found to contain of ashes 4-23 per cent. 



The nitrogen was found to be to the carbon as 1 to 8 in equivalents. 



Hence 



Deducting the ashes, or inorganic matter, the compo- 

 sition of the organic part is, 



This corresponds to the formula 



C48 54-62
