FIG. 89. (After Preyer and Gamgee.) THE SPECTRA OF OXY-H,EMOGLOBIN IN 



DIFFERENT GRADES OF CONCENTRATION, OF (REDUCED) HAEMOGLOBIN AND OF 

 CARBONIC-OXIDE-H^EMOGLOBIN. 



1 to 4. Solution of Oxy-Haemoglobin containing (1) less than -01 p.c., (2) -09 p.c., 

 (3) -37 p.c., (4) -8 p.c. 



5. " (reduced) Haemoglobin containing about -2 p.c. 



6. " carbonic-oxide-Hsemoglobin. 



In each of the six cases the layer brought before the spectroscope was 1 c.m. 

 in thickness. The letters (A ; a &c.) indicate Fraunhofer's lines, and the 

 figures wave-lengths expressed in 100,000th of a millimeter.
