The oxygen dissociation curves of the bloods of sheep living at high altitude in the Peruvian Andes and of their fetuses have been prepared at plasma hydrogenion concentrations in the physiological range. A comparison with oxygen dissociation curves of bloods of sea‐level sheep and their fetuses shows no significant difference between the two groups of animals.
