The inconstant - - ratio shown in whole tautog blood led us to re-examine some of the data of Green and Root (1933) on the blood of the toadfish. This blood is characterized by anomalous inflections in the O2-dissociation curves adequately explained by the theory of components. At pH , for example, the O2-dissociation.
