Abstract
SIR WILLIAM BAYLISS has pointed out, in NATURE for May 19, p. 666, that he is unable to find any account of experiments on the dissociation curve of hæmoglobin at gas pressures considerably greater than that at which the hæmoglobin is presumed to be saturated. He seems to imply that there is no proof that hæmoglobin cannot take up more gas than is required by the theory that a chemical compound is formed, in which one molecule of O2 or CO corresponds to one atom of iron.
