In the second figure the steeper the curve is, the poorer the blood is buffered against carbon dioxide. The results obtained here indicate that toadfish and sea robin blood are relatively poorly buffered, \\ hile frog, turtle, and human blood are relatively well buffered. Carp and mackerel blood are more or less intermediate with respect to the others, resembling, however, the bloods of the higher vertebrates slightly more than those of the toadfish and sea robin. z/ 19 '< 15 . •to sv t,i 70 eo 90 too jjo FIG. 17.
