CHEMISTRY (BIOLOGICAL AND 

 PHYSIOLOGICAL) 



The great majority of the experiments and 

 researches of the biological chemists have been 

 performed with subjects other than fishes. The 

 following titles represent the subjects, in so far 

 as they are known to us, wherein their investi- 

 gations have touched upon the subject of 

 fishes. 



Reference may advantageously be made to 

 the standard text books of physiological chem- 

 istry, such as Mandel's translation of Ham- 

 mersten and Hedin, 



For topics primarily physiological, such 

 as anabolism, katabolism, and urea for- 

 mation; for effects upon fishes of acids, 

 alkaloids, salts in solution, and other 

 foreign substances, see under Physiology. 



For the nature of the gaseous- content 

 of the air bladder, see under Air bladder. 



For the nature of pigments, see under 

 Coloration. 



For the composition of fish guano and 

 cod-liver oil, see Fertilizer, and Oils below 

 Economic products under Fisheries. 



For albumen, basic proteins, nucleic 

 acid, etc., in ova; composition of egg-cases 

 of sharks, etc., see under Ova and ovum. 



For histones and protamines, see Chem- 

 ical composition under Spermatozoa. 



For the occurrence of guanin in the 

 skins of fishes, see Argenteum under 

 Integument.
