ONE FIGURE

I n the acute oxygen poisoning of vertebrates the toxicity of oxygen at high pressures, aside from its relatively minor influence on pulmonary epithelium in these short exposures, may be attributed to two effects. The first and in all probability the most outstanding action of oxygen at high pressures on these organisms dependent upon blood haemoglobin, is an interference with the normal reduction of this pigment
