No. 10. No excitement, the dog lying down quietly after
about 4m. Removed from the box after 8m. 30s. and chloro-
form administered on cap as before, but the sponge was not
pushed up close to nose so that the vapour was not so con-
centrated as in the previous cases ; and the last air which
entered the lungs therefore contained a less proportion of
chloroform. Both ventricles full but not distended. The blood
in the right ventricle dark ; that in the left ventricle arterial,
but not bright red.
