    dog; the blood of swine, oxen, and Merino sheep, contains from 80:0 to 86:0, and the maximum occurs in the blood of the English sheep. The investigations of these chemists relating to the blood of domestic animals in a morbid state, were principally confined to sheep suffering from watery cachexia.! We extract the fol- lowing analyses from their essay, as illustrative of the changes that the blood undergoes in pure hydremia without any complication. Blood- Residue Fibrin. corpuscles. of serum.

In those cases in which the hydremia was associated with inflammatory affections, the blood presented very different cha- racters, as the following analyses will show: Blood- Residue Fibrin. corpuscles. of serum.
