Abstract
THE sixth volume of these reports upon the observations made in the highest experimental station in Europe contains an account of some valuable results obtained by the director, M. Vallot, as to the respiratory changes associated with prolonged residence at the altitude of 4350 metres. The observations were begun at Chamonix in 1886; this preliminary inquiry led to extended experiments with improved methods mainly in 1898, 1899, and 1900. The object of the inquiry was to ascertain the physiological condition, as regards respiratory efficiency, of an individual living for some little time in the observatory and carrying on his ordinary avocations. Many observations were made by M. Vallot upon himself, but these were supplemented by those obtained from a skilled collaborateur, M. de Goumoens.
