BORIC ACID AND BORAX. 203 



abundant in the case of No. 1 at the first, No. 5 at the first, and No. 6 

 at the first and fourth examinations. 



A study of the data above given, as a whole, fails to reveal any dis- 

 tinct connection between the relative abundance of the bodies looked 

 for and the administration of the preservative. 



SERIES IV. 



Five examinations were made during the fourth series one during 

 the fore period, three during the preservative period, and one for the 

 after period. (See Table XLIII, p. 209.) 



Uric-acid crystals. No crystals of uric acid are found in any instance 

 in the examinations of the urine during the fourth series. 



Urates. No urates are found in any of the examinations of the 

 fourth series. 



Oxalate of lime. Crystals of oxalate of lime are found in numerous 

 instances. They are fairty abundant in the cases of Nos. 8, 11, and 

 12. They are abundant in the first examination of No. 8 and the last 

 examination of No. 11. They occur with more or less irregularity in 

 abundance in the other instances in so far as the examinations were 

 completed. In many cases during this .series the examinations were 

 not complete because of illness or other irregularities of the subjects. 

 Where examinations were not made the fact is indicated in the table 

 by a blank. 



Crystalline phosphates. These are found only in two instances, and 

 then at the last examination in the cases of Nos. 8 and 9. 



Epithelium cells. These are found in all cases, a few in most 

 instances, fairly abundant in one instance in No. 9 and in one instance 

 in No. 12, and abundant in the first examination of No. 12. 



Leucocytes. These are found in all instances, fairly abundant in 

 three cases in No. 8 and in two cases in No. 12, abundant in the case 

 of the first and last examinations of No. 12, and extremely abundant 

 in the two examinations made of No. 7. 



Red Hood cells. These bodies are not found in any instance. 



Hyaline casts. These bodies are found in most instances, but are 

 fairly abundant only in the last examination of No. 10. 



Finely granular casts. These also are found in most instances, but 

 are not quite so constant as in the preceding case. They are fairly 

 abundant only in one instance, namely, the next to the last examina- 

 tion of No. 8. f 



Coarsely granular casts. These are found in about one-third of the 

 samples examined. They are abundant in the next to the last exami- 

 nation of No. 8, while in all other cases where they occur they are very 

 few in number. 



Epithelial casts. These are not found in any instance.
