PILSON The data which have been presented show that the concentration of hemocyanin in ahalone blood is extremely variable. A frequency histogram, at 20-mg. in- tervals, of the total nitrogen in all 107 samples of plasma from H. julycns is shown in Figure 5. Since the relationship shown in Figure 3 indicated that the non- hemocyanin nitrogen averaged about 40 ml., the scale was shifted two intervals (40 mg.) to show an approximation to the frequency histogram for hemocyanin nitrogen.

Though Morn and Kerr (1963) did not point this out, it may be noted from their data that the statistical distribution of serum protein concentrations was different for male crabs, being more skewed toward the high end of the range, and having a much flatter distribution curve in comparison with the more nearly normal distribution of this value for female crabs. The median value of total nitrogen for these 107 animals is ml., and the range is from to ml. Subtracting the estimated value of mg. of non-hemocyanin nitrogen gives a median value of mg. of.
