The salts have been analysed by Marchand. They amount 



(he observes) to 6-28 — 6-82;^ of the dried residue. The four 



following analyses are given in his ' Lehrbuch der Physiolo- 

 gischen Chemie :' 



6-62 6-28 6-78 6-82

On the differences of the blood, dependent on sex. 

 Lecanu^ concludes from his analyses that the venous blood 

 of males is richer in sohd constituents than that of females, but 

 that the quantity of albvimen in both is the same. The follow-
