wurde eine schwach Erhôhung des Na + , Mg + und P0 4 — gehalts im Sérum 

 festgestellt. Die physiologische Lôsung C.S.3., nach den neuen Werten hergestellt 

 behielt die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Venen und ihre Reizempfindlichkeil 

 wie bei Normaltieren bei. 



SUMMARY 



The blood of Pteropus giganteus (Megachiroptera) was analysed in view 

 of preparing a physiological solution for the perfusion of the wing digital veins 



Animais caged for a period extending two months were noted to displa> 

 symptoms of nutrient deficiency. A second group was therefore also analysed 

 after the mixing of a nutrient adjuvent, rich in vitamins, fats and proteins, to 

 their diet. This latter group immediately improved in health, and were found 

 after a further period of two months, to possess considerably higher values in 

 sérum protein, haemoglobin and hematocrite. Certain ionic values were also 

 found to change. 



The physiological solution (C.S.3.) prepared from this final analysis, wa 

 tested in vivo, and found to préserve intact the mechanical and excitable propertie 

 of the vessel (fig. 3).
