Measurement of Osmotic Pressure of Haemoglobin 



Tables I and II 

 C = g CO Haemoglobin per 100 ml Solution 

 n — Osmotic Pressure in mm Hg 

 M — Molecular Weight 



no evidence for dissociation. The mean difference between observed and 

 calculated pressures is 0-015 mm mercury or 0-2 mm toluene. It is 

 possible that the discrepancy between the two sets of results is accounted 

 by the difference of temperatures.
