Itreaches it, however, faster than it does in air at the same temperature. Inoxygen, on the other hand, it is found to accumulate no lactic acid at allduring many hours or indeed during days at room temperatures. Upon stimulation an increase of lactic acid is found. This had been knownof course from du Bois BeymoncVs time, but the fact had been repeatedly vol. lxxxix.—b. 2 p 454 Dr. W. M. Fletcher and Prof. F. G.
