Report on the Heat generated in the Blood in the process of Arteria- 

 lization. By Arthur Gamgee, M.D., F.R.S.E., Lecturer on 

 Physiology in the Medical School, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh. 



So much has lately been done to extend our knowledge of the gases contained 

 in the blood, of the blood-colouring-niatter, and of its combinations with 

 oxygen, that it seems strange that we should not yet possess reliable in- 

 formation on a matter which has long been the subject of speculation, and 

 which assuredly admits of a positive solution, viz. on the changes in the 

 temperature of blood during arteriaUzation. 



In this first and strictly preliminary Report it may be useful to ascertain 

 the methods of investigation which have been employed by those observers 

 who have hitherto attempted to throw light upon this matter.
