After the coloring matter is dissolved out of the red blood corpuscles thereremains a colorless mass called the stroma. This consists of lecithin, choles-terin, proteids, urea, and mineral substances, chiefly potassium, phosphoricacid and chlorine, and in the red blood corpuscles of man, sodium. By far the greatest part (eighty-seven to ninety-five per cent) of the drysubstance of the red blood corpuscle consists of haemoglobin: the stroma ofthe blood corpuscles amounts therefore to only five to thirteen per cent.
