This was mixed with varying proportions of 0-9 % saline and 7 % gum acacia in 0-9 % saline as indicated in the table. The viscosity of the various mixtures was determined, as well as that of the "plasma" after the corpuscles had settled. The results are shown and the ratio between "plasma" viscosity and "blood" viscosity given. The con- stancy of the ratio is obvious while the values of the viscosity plotted against each other lie along a straight line intersecting the abscissa at 0. The value of the ratio - (see Table VI) depends on the volume of the corpuscles present, the influence of which is next Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Biochemical Society (Great Britain); University of Liverpool.
