The formation of glycogen from sugars by muscle, with a 

 demonstration of a perfusion apparatus. 



By R. A. HATCHER and C. G. L. WOLF. 



[From the Chemical and Pharmacological Laboratories of the Cornell 

 University Medical College, New York City.~\ 



Contrary to the findings of Kulz, saccharose does not form 

 glycogen in muscle. Glucose is a direct glycogen former in 

 muscle. When the glycogen-free muscles of animals which have 

 been starved and treated with strychnin are used, no glycogen is 

 formed either by glucose or saccharose. 



A perfusion apparatus was shown which permits the simul- 

 taneous and separate perfusion of the hind limbs of an animal and 

 the arterialization of the blood by the lungs of two animals, each 

 pair of lungs being used for an individual limb.

By B. H. BUXTON. 



[From the Department of Experimental Pathology, Loomis Labora- 

 tory, Cornell University Medical College, New York City.~\ 



Ten c.c. of blood are drawn from a vein and distributed into 

 three flasks of sterilized ox bile, 20 c.c. of bile in each flask.
