In analysis No. I. the soft semifluid portions of tissue were separated as much 

 as possible, and the harder portions only submitted to analysis. In the other two 

 analyses no such selection was made. 



The principal and most striking results obtained from the 

 analysis of pulmonary tissue, consolidated and softening, are : — 



1st. A considerable reduction in the amount of albumen, 

 phosphoric acid, and potash, both in the insoluble tissue, and 

 in the nutritive material, compared with the amount of these 

 substances in healthy pulmonary tissue, while the proportion of 

 these substances effete and crystalloid in the diseased tissue is 

 considerably increased. This shows a diminished rate of nutrition,
