The residual gas in the lungs before the experiment, was 32 cubic
inches, and composed of about 23 nitrogene, 4,1 carbonic acid, and 4,9
oxygene, Section IV. The residual gas after expiration, was composed of
18,2 oxygene, 2 carbonic acid, and 11,8 nitrogene.
Hence the whole of the gas in the lungs and airholder before
inspiration, was 134 cubic inches, composed of
