    blood of a large number of individuals, figure 199 is con- structed. On this figure log /[H+]c = log ^^6 62 is plotted against log p02, i.e., the logarithm of the pres¬ sure of oxygen corresponding to 50 per cent saturation of hemoglobin for the value of hydrogen ion concentra¬ tion of the corpuscles obtained from the nomograms and used in calculating the values of log /[H+]c. The line upon this figure is drawn through three points giving the average normal values obtained from consist¬ ent observations of A.Y.B. at rest, A.V.B. at work, and C.V.C. at rest. It will be seen that for normal human blood the relation in question is in fact approximately linear. All other points but one fall to the left of this line. These points include all our studies of pernicious anemia, in-
