According to the analyses of Playfair and Boeckmann, 



0-452 parts of dry muscular flesh gave 0-836 of carbonic acid.

1-471 of dried blood, when calcined, left 0-065 of ashes = 4 42 per cent. 



The dried flesh was found to contain of ashes 4 23 per cent. 



The nitrogen was found to be to the carbon as 1 to 8 in equivalents. 



Deducting the ashes, or inorganic matter, the compo-
