Abstract
A PARAGRAPH among the “Research Items” in NATURE of March 25, page 441, states that Dr. Ackermann has made comparative tests of two methods of estimating carbon monoxide gas in air: the palladous chloride method and the hæmoglobin method. The latter method consisted in exposing the hæmoglobin to the gas to be examined; then adding a reducing agent (ammonium sulphide) to the hæmoglobin and examining it with an ordinary spectroscope for the presence of the two absorption bands of carbon monoxide hæmoglobin.
