Abstract
Hypoxia was induced in dogs by exposure for 40 minutes to a reduced atmospheric pressure of 267 mm mercury in a pressure chamber. In puppies less than two months old hypoxia induced no changes in the composition of the blood. During the third month the characteristic adult reaction appeared, and took the form of an increased number of erythrocytes, an increased hemoglobin content, and an alternating increase and decrease in the number of leucocytes.
