From the analyses of Prevost and Dumas, 

 Berzelius, Marcet, Denis, and his own, M. Le 

 Canu represents the venous blood of man as com- 

 posed of the following constituents : 



Dry crassamentum 130.8453 



Albumen of serum 67.8040 



Salts,* oily, extractive, and other 



matters 10.9800 



Water.. . 790.3707 



1000.0000 



in 1000 parts 



* The proportion of salts in the blood, depends on the quantity 

 contained in the aliment ; and it has been found that above one 

 half of them consists of muriate of soda. But the office they per- 

 form in the functions of life is not well understood. Nor have 

 the proportions of oily, phosphuretted, and extractive matters, 

 found in the blood, been ascertained with precision.
