The experimental part of the research to be described below is given in two main sections. Of these Section 1 deals with the results obtained in measurements of the rate of displacement of oxygen from combination with hœmoglobin by carbon monoxide. Section 2 gives, in corresponding fashion, the results for the reverse reaction, namely, the displacement of carbon monoxide from combination with hœmoglobin by oxygen. The theoretical aspects of theses two reactions have already been dealt with in broad outline at the end of Part IV, with which it will be assumed that the reader is fully acquainted. Some further considerations, however, arise and these are given in Section 3 of the present paper.
