mon bile duct (12), and Bollman (3) has shown in these animals
the intimate relation between the diet and the appearance of the
peritoneal effusion. Because the ascites can be maintained in-
definitely under these conditions, such animals afford an op-
portunity for the study in dogs of the distribution of electrolytes
between serum and ascitic fluid, and for t,he comparison of the
results, both with t’he data obtained in clinical cases and with the
in vivo dialysate of the blood obtained experimentally in dogs.
Material and Methods-The common ducts of ten dogs were
doubly ligated and sectioned aseptically, ether anesthesia being

slightly higher, 0.961 for sodium and 0.79 for calcium. In both
instances the base ratios are higher than those obtained by dialysis
in viva. This is to be expect.ed as the difference between the
protein content of the two solutions is less in the case of these
transudates than it was in the case of the dialysates.
The distribution of the various anions was somewhat less
regular than that of the various bases. In both dogs and man the
phosphates were higher in the serum than they were in the transu-
date. This result, again, is in harmony with the results of dialysis
in vivo, which indicated that some of the inorganic phosphate in

with that previously obtained. The average results for each gm.
of protein are shown in Table IV. The values obtained were all of
approximately the same magnitude in the three series of experi-
ments and t.here was very good agreement between the figures for
the total base and the sodium combined with protein. The results
for calcium and magnesium were less uniform and the greatest
variation was present in the figures for potassium. These differ-
ences, however, are no greater than is to be expected from a
consideration of the analytic errors in each case. We have previ-
ously considered the difficulties in the use of a figure such as this
for the base-binding power of the serum prot’eins. Nevertheless
for the present, the average values given in Table IV may be

gm. of serum protein is taken as 0.75 (13) or 0.80 (14) this gives a
value of 1.25 or 1.30 as the specific volume of the protein micelle.
These values agree well with those of 1.2 and 1.3 previously re-
ported by Polanyi (11) and Augsberger (2). Similar values have
been obtained by Moran (lo), and by Adair and Callow (l), in
the study of gelat’in gels. Hill (8) also has found that 2 to 3 per
cent of the water in blood and other protein solutions is bound by
the colloid.
In a previous study (5) it was pointed out that certain modifica-
tions in the application of the currently accepted physicochemical
