the crystal test.
From the two tests am certal that there
was blood on the garments. Found dust. fal.
and other substances usually found on worn
clothing.
From NV own experiments and observations
] AIN convinced that IN certain classes of ami
mas thc average corpuscies Of blood are
fixed and certain.
Human blood gives an average ditmeler
a little larger than l-53t-t of an inch, - per
cent of human corpu>cles will not say greatly
from 1870 TO 1889 in dametor. this /, from.
my own experiments. There would not be
more than nye per cent that would
average 1900 and not more than one per cent
that would average l-ioJ1. not more thai " 3
would average below 1900. The average OF a
sheep 1880; of al OK l-i2O0; Of Maine rabbi.
l-ilo0: Of other rabbit l-4-p.
Have measured 30 or 40 raLLlis-the
measurement Of 30 eorpusces and taking tne
average Of them VIII give fair criterion of
/ the syerage Of that class Of all animals.
J The measurements / make Of cOrpuscles are
the same a. made by DR.. Treadwell. These
measurements can easily be made and GER
tain a measurements made by carpenters with
rule.
In the photographs tie oxs blood is mag
nfied little more than tue human blood.
{ This probably resulted from the rolling oi
the paper.
I In measuring corpuscles Of blood IL the diam

no doubt that the animal from which taken was

The eorpuscles of dried blood change the II

or in otner words their diameter is never great

/ this manner and know from their edge snd de-

from blood taken from different parts OF coat.
/ All did not cores pond. Some must have

sheep.
( Measured blood IRON cloud. 90 corpuscles,
average l-32i5 only one kind OF blood on cloud.
Found and examined hair on cloud and made
microscopic examination. Ii was similar to
I that found on coat-was fine and light-It WAS
4 from scalp. also stOuter reddish hair-It was
> 10 inche, in length. i made fair measure
ment of all the above corpuscles, large ami
small.
