It differsmaterially in the method of measuring and diluting the blood,in the form o\ the comparison chamber, and in the meaning ofthe graduation of the scale. The diluting pipette is similar in construction to the pipetteof the Thoma-Zeiss hemocytometer, its calibrations, however,being different. The marks are y2, %, and 1. Above.

The relation of the capillary to the ampullais such that blood, drawn to the mark 1 and diluted to themark above the ampulla, gives a dilution of 200; if drawn tothe mark %, the dilution is 300, while the line i/2 furnishes adilution of 400. The diluent used is %0 per cent, sodium car-bonate solution. This dissolves the stromata of the reel cellsand produces a clear solution. If the diluent becomes turbid 54 THE BLOOD. after standing some time, it should be freshly made and shouldcontain no bicarbonate.
