Details of the subjects chosen, technic used, and results of the color, volume and saturation index studies are given elsewhere.1It has long been customary to divide anemias into two groups. Under the term primary anemia were included cases of pernicious anemia and, sometimes, chlorosis; and under the name secondary anemia, all others. These names were given as the cause was supposed to be unknown in primary anemias and known in secondary anemias.
