In order to confirm or disprove the marked tendency shown by 

 the preservative in the original series to diminish the red blood cells, 

 a special study of six young men was inaugurated, beginning Decem- 

 ber 1, 1906, and extending to December 20, 1906. (See p. 882.) In 

 addition to the effects noted on the blood, data for the fore and pre- 

 servative periods were obtained in regard to the volume and acidity 

 of the urine. The data on acidity will be considered under the, 

 following caption.
