The gases before and after respiration, were analised in these
experiments in the manner described in the last section, except that 3
of nitrous gas were always employed to one of oxygene.
E. I. At temperature 53°, after a full forced respiration, I respired
in the mercurial airholder, for half a minute, 102 cubic inches of
oxygene, making seven very long and deep inspirations. After the
compleat expiration, the gases filled a space equal to 93 cubic inches;
these 93 cubic inches analised, were found to consist of
cub. in.
Carbonic acid 5,9
Nitrogene 33,8
Oxygene 53,3
