1. The red blood corpuscles of different species have definite and distinct mean lytic points.

2. The apparent tonicity of sheep serum has no relation to the mean lytic point of the red corpuscles of that individual.

3. The apparent tonicity of sheep serum is not due to its proteins but to its lipoids.

4. The residue of sheep serum, after removal of proteins and lipoids, is sufficiently alkaline to cause lysis.
