It will be noticed from Table II that the highest number of 

 red cells in the counts was 7,000,000 per cubic millimeter. The 

 lowest number was 5,228,000 per cubic millimeter, and the 

 average for the 25 examinations was 6,057,520 cells per cubic 

 millimeter. 



The lowest haemoglobin percentage was 85, the highest per- 

 centage 100, and the average for the 25 examinations was 92.6 

 per cent. 



The highest number of leucocytes in the counts was 18,500 

 per cubic millimeter, and the lowest number 6,000 per cubic 

 millimeter. The average for the 25 examinations was 10,389 

 per cubic millimeter. 



The highest specific gravity was 1.056, the lowest 1.052, and 

 the average for 12 examinations was 1.0532. 



In reference to the relative volumes of corpuscles and of 

 plasma, the highest percentage of corpuscles was 43, and the 

 highest percentage of plasma was 75. The lowest percentage 

 of corpuscles was 25, and of plasma 57. The average for 10 

 examinations gave 29.1 per cent of corpuscles and 70.9 per cent 

 of plasma. 



In working out the time of coagulation of the blood, it was 

 found that three minutes and twenty-five seconds was the longest 

 time and three minutes and five seconds the shortest time for 

 coagulation to take place. The average for 8 examinations 

 was three minutes and sixteen seconds plus. 



From the table it will be noticed that No. 8 has the highest 

 red-cell count, the highest leucocyte count, 100 per cent haemo- 

 globin, the highest specific gravity, the largest volume of corpus- 

 cles to the smallest volume of plasma, and it took the shortest 

 time for the blood to coagulate. 



Table III gives a detailed study of the leucocytes. The num- 

 ber per cubic millimeter and the percentage of each are given. 

 These are based on counts of from 800 to 1,200 cells in each case. 



The lymphocytes vary from 10,725 to 2,280 per cubic milli- 

 meter, and from 71.5 to 36.9 per cent. 



The large mononuclears vary from 1,136 to 240 per cubic 

 millimeter, and from 3 to 10.2 per cent. 



The polynuclears vary from 1,648 to 6,290 per cubic milli- 

 meter, and from 20.6 to 51.9 per cent. 



The eosinophiles vary from to 2.522 per cent. Animal 12 

 showed no eosinophiles in a count of 872 cells. The percentage 

 of these cells varied between to 23.7.
