Abnormal Variations in the Corpuscular 

 Elements of the Blood :

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, 



HE study of the blood has advanced very considerably 

 during the last 10 or 15 years, and when Mr. Haydon, our 

 worthy secretary, asked me to read a paper before this Society 

 I thought that possibly it would be of interest to you to hear 

 something of the more recent progress. 



I approach the subject with considerable trepidation 

 in presence of our vice-president — one well known as a 

 hoematologist of the first rank. To him I am much indebted 

 for some beautiful lantern slides which enable me to cover the 

 ground more rapidly and efficiently. 



I need hardly say that I refer to Dr. Buchanan.
