A number of experiments were made in which animals, in a series of bell jars, were caused to breathe air which became more contaminated 406 THE COMPOSITION OP EXPIRED AIR. witli tlic products of respiration as it passed through the series, being a repetition of the experiments of Brown- Sdfiuard and d'Arsouval. In the great majority of cases, death was evidently due to the dimi- nution in the oxygen and increase in the carbonic acid, the proportions of these gases present in the jar when an ani...mal died being- that as reported, i. e., the oxygen was reduced to between i and G per cent and the carbonic acid increased to from 12 to 14 per cent. The mode of death of the animals was similar to that observed in slow asphyxia, and the results of careful post-mortem examination and microscopic investiga- tion do not indicate the effects of any organic poison. The insertion of absorption tubes containing caustic alkalies between the bell jars, to absorb the carbonic acid, and of concentrated sulphuric acid, did not give results corresponding to those reported by Brown- S^quard and d'Arsonval.
