A simplified form of the Evans, Grande, and Hsu constant level pump heart oxygenator preparation is described in which the dead space has been considerably reduced. The blood‐flow through the oxygenator is kept constant by means of a pump, and is not dependent upon the cardiac output. It is possible to make the preparation using the same dog as bleeder and experimental animal. We wish to express our thanks to Professor C. Lovatt Evans for his kindness and help and the provision of every facility in this work. We are indebted to the Government Grants Committee of the Royal Society for a grant to one of us (J. Y. B.), and to the Thomas Smythe Hughes Fund for a grant to R. A. G., from which grants the cost of animals was met.
