These variations may be due either to the presence of a les- 

 sened quantity of hemoglobin in the same volume of blood (even 

 if there should be the same number of corpuscles), or to a les- 

 sened saturation of this hemoglobin in the conditions in which the 

 animal is breathing, or finally to an inner difference in the nature 

 of the hemoglobin and its lessened capacity for absorbing oxygen. 



But here, the thought suggested a moment ago by the study of 

 nitrogen appears with much more importance. Almo"st never, in
