The fluids for these determinations were collected from the breath of the man with the tra-

 healthy person. With the e.xception of one of the results obtained with fluid collected from the 

 breath of the man with the tracheal fistula, which result is out of accord with the others (cause 

 unknown), the determinations show no marked variation in the amount of o.xidizable matter, what- 

 ever the source of the fluid or conditions of the person from whose breath it was collected, though 

 only a few experiments were made. Just before collecting the fluid for several of the later deter-
