Among the properties of the red blood corpuscles, that have from time to time been investigated, the resistance of this type of cell to the destructive action of various lytic agents occupies a place of some importance. Very many substances have been studied from this point of view, and no useful purpose would be served by enumerating them here; but it should be noted in passing that, as regards the great majority of them, we have no evidence that they play any part in blood destruction as it occurs “in vivo” under either physiological or pathological conditions.
