alkali reserve of the blood was also found in some of the thyroid- 
fed rabbits, the aerated blood dialysate having a reaction of pH 
7.9 to 8.0. When greens were given freely to the thyroid-fed 
rabbits, such changes in the blood reaction could not be observed. 
In the control animals, either fasted or fed with animal tissue 
powder, the hydrogen ion concentration of the blood remained 
almost unchanged. The kind of fogd eaten leads to a marked 
difference in the CO: capacity of the blood plasma of the nor- 
mal rabbits. When greens only were given, the plasma COs: 
capacity was 61.4 to 63.6 (cc. of COs, reduced to 0°C., 760 mm. 
Hg, bound as bicarbonate in 100 ce. of the blood plasma), while 
this value was reduced to 48.2 to 53.2 on oat diet. When thy- 
roid was given to the animals, the COs capacity of the plasma 
gradually decreased. On oat diet it went down as far as 28.7
