 thatparaglobulin takes no part in the process, there being 

 only two factors, fibrinogen and fibrin-ferment. The ac- 

 tion of the fermentsplitsthe fibrinogen into fibrin, which 

 is insoluble, and into fibrin-globulin, which remains in 

 solution. [Raymond.] B. -coagulation, Lilienfeld's 

 Theory of, this attributes to the nucleoproteid the 

 power of splitting the fibrinogen into globulin and 

 thrombosin, which latter unites with lime to form 

 fibrin. [Raymond.] B. -coagulation, Pekelharing's 

 Theory of, supposes that thrombin (the fibrin-ferment 

 of Schmidt) is composed of nucleoalbumin and calcium 

 and that the calcium leaves the nucleoproteid and 

 unites with fibrinogen, the compound of the two being 

 fibrin. The amount of lime being the same in fibrino- 

 gen as in fibrin, this theory cannot be sustained. [Ray- 

 mond. ] B. -coagulation, Schmidt's Theory of, the 

 proteid now known as paraglobulin, termed by 

 Schmidt fibrinoplastin ; this substance, under the influ- 

 ence of fibrin-ferment, was held to enter into combina- 

 tion with fibrinogen, the result being fibrin. [Ray-
