" Additional Measurements of Blood-corpuscles or Red Particles 

 of Mammalia and Birds," by George Gulliver, Esq., F.R.S., No. 2*. 



The measurements are expressed in vulgar fractions of an English 

 inch, aecording to the practice which I have always adopted. As 

 the numerator is invariably 1, it is omitted throughout, the denomi- 

 nators only being printed. 



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

 first set down ; a 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.

 former one in showing that the
