Hæmoglobin

Abstract

THIS second part of “The Respiratory Function of the Blood ” sustains the description given to the first edition of the book by its author, as the story or log of his physiological explorations, sometimes alone, sometimes with a crew, and occasionally with a pilot aboard. It deals exclusively with those aspects of the work which the author has actually touched himself or which he has delegated to some responsible member of his crew. Much of the work on haemoglobin which has been done at Cambridge has been carried out under the auspices of the Haemoglobin Committee of the Medical Research Council. To them and to his various pupils and collaborators the author expresses an indebtedness which must surely be fully reciprocated.

The Respiratory Function of the Blood.

By Joseph Barcroft. Part 2: Hæmoglobin. Pp. ix + 200. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1928.) 12s. 6d. net.
