tral  solutions,  with  the  exception  of  certain  slight  modifications  de- 
pendent upon  the  conditions  of  trial,  reaction,  etc.  Hemialbumose 
(protoalbumose,  deuteroalbumose  and,  in  some  instances,  hetero- 
albumose),  hemipeptone,  peptone  products,  and  the  amid  bodies, 
leucin  and  tyrosin,  are  all  found  in  addition  to  the  peculiar 
body  above  noted  which  is  present  only  in  minute  amounts. 
All  of  these  bodies  seemingly  make  their  appearance  in  the  early 
stages  of  digestion,  and  each  one  is  found  at  the  end  of  prolonged 
digestion,  although  under  ordinary  circumstances  deuteroalbumose 
and  true  peptone  predominate  to  a  high  degree. 
The  close  identity  of  the  products  of  the  action  of  the  enzyme  of 
the  papaw  and  that  of  tryptic  and  pepsin  digestion  can  be  seen  in 
the  accompanying  diagram :
