Over the present range of pressures it will be seenthat a small change of pressure at, , 10 cm. Hg, will cause a greaterdiminution of the outflow time for Mood poor in corpuscles than for bloodrich in corpuscles and, as a consequence of this, in the human circulatorysystem we should find such changes producing a much more rapid return ofthe arterial blood to the heart. Further reference will be made to thispoint, however, in the subsequent discussion of the bearing of this andforegoing results on the disorders of the circulatory system. Below about5 cm. pressure the curves would seem to indicate that t
