✦ Synopsis

The permeability of natural membranes with regard to gases, although important both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint, has received less attention experimentally than it merits, as pointed out by Dean ('4i) and Davson and Danielli ( '43). From chemical analyses of blood 011 the diffusate side of his diffusion apparatus Krogh ('19) obtained coefficients f o r diffusion of 0,, C' O atid (70, through several types of living animal tissues. TTTright ( '34) found similar coefficients f o r PO, through living membranes by 1 may be set = t o a new constant b.
