    In order to give an idea of the composition of the blood in the different species of animals, we shall communicate the average, maxima, and minima numbers that were obtained. For the principles on which the analyses are founded, see p. 241. Analyses of the blood of 17 horses gave the following results: Fibrin. Blood-corpuscles. Residue of serum. Water. Mean . ‘ 4:0 102°9 82°6 810°5 Maximum : 50 112»1 910 833°3 Minimum ; 3.0 81°5 74°6 795°7 Analyses of the blood of 14 neat cattle yielded: Fibrin. Blood-corpuscles. Residue of serum. Water.

The mean results of the blood of 6 bulls (1), and of an equal number of milch cows (2), indicated no important differences. Fibrin. Blood-corpuscles. Residue of serum, Water.
