This is entirely in harmony with the observations of MagnusLevy,^ who has pointed out that the polariscopic estimations of beta-oxybutyric acid have given exaggerated values. This may explain thevariations in the curves of Chart 1, where the polariscopic estimationsare relatively very high when the acidosis is high. For this reason, andon account of the fact that the acidosis index corresponds much betterwith the ammonia output (see Chart 2), I am inclined to think that the 9. Magnus-Levy: Arch. f. exper.
