(After Howell.) the spectrum of reduced haemoglobin, shown at B. The addition of a little citric acid to a solution of oxy- haemoglobin produces the spectrum of acid haematin, with a broad band in the red, a narrow one in the green, and a very faint band in the blue. In old blood-stains the oxyhaemoglobin has been changed to haematin, and since this substance is insoluble in water, no color- ation of the liquid appears when the stain is treated as above. In such a case a Httle acetic acid must be tried; this dissolves hasmatin, and the solution at once pro- duces the acid haematin spectrum. On adding am- monia, the broad band in the red disappears. Blood- Stauas in which the haemoglobin is only partially changed.
