✦ Synopsis
Eleven species of birds1 were used in a comparative study of the effects of CO, on respiration. Various percentages of COZ were administered to the birds in both the anesthetized and the non-anesthetized states. Because of the various results obtained with the different species the problem may be considered of comparative value.
Carbon dioxide production of apnea has been reported for the duck by Orr and Watson ( '13). Dooley and Koppbnyi ( '29) showed that CO, normally stimulates the respiration of the duck. If CO, is administered by paths in which local irritant effects are absent respiration increases in depth and rate. Thus CO, administered perhumerally into the air sacs and lungs stimulates respiration. High concentrations of 'Many of the birds used in this study were furnished by the Columbian Park Zoological Gardens of Lafayette, Indiana.
