M. Lecanu made other experiments. He dried a given weight 

 of serum, digested it in alcohol and water, and ascertained by 

 evaporation the weight of the substances extracted by these ve- 

 hicles. His results were as follows :

(6.) The crassamentum cannot perhaps be completely freed 

 from serum ; but, by washing the globules in a saturated solution 

 of sulphate of soda, they may be made tolerably pure. In that 

 case we estimate the constitution of the globules according to the 

 determination of Lecanu as follows :
