EFFECTS OF Til 1 11 ST, ETC., ON ANIMALS. 



65 



These experiments complete our investigations upon the effects of thirst and 

 starvation upon the blood of different animals. We will now arrange the results 

 in tables, and study them collectively. 



I. Tables showing the Changes in the Relalive Amounts of the Organic and Inorganic Constituents 

 of the Blood of Warm and Cold-hloodcd Animals, during different j^eriods of Starvation and 

 Thirst. The numbers rejiresent the amounts existing in 1000 parts of blood. The changes, 

 tlierefore, are relative and not absolute.
