have published the last direct measurements (known to the writer) on the heat of reaction of oxygen with haemoglobin. Since then, the subject has lain practically dormant, nor has much attention been given to the allied problem of calculating the heat of this reaction indirectly from the effect of temperature upon the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve. Great advance has, however, been made in the elucidation of other physico-chemical properties of haemoglobin; notably in regard to the molecular weight [Adair, 1925, 1, 2; This new know- ledge has much bearing upon the thermochemistry of the oxygen-haemoglobin reaction, and indeed points to certain gaps and doubtful assumptions in the previous work.
