Circulating eosinophil cells were counted in many different conditions and their physiological significance was discussed. Expeiments were performed by Fuchs-Rosenthal's counting chamber and at least 4 times of tests were necessary for one specimen. Physiological changes of the cell levels were relatively great and rythmical, i.e. in general, they were high in day time and low in night.
In the cases of new-borne, whose mother suffered with parasites, the eosinophil cell levels were high.
The levels decreased by the working stimulus and in fatigue state, the levels were retained unchanged or more decreased.
In the cases of sever muscular working, the cells icreased, once, and then decreased. This phenomenon was considered to be caused by the temporary decrease of the corticoid in blood stream.
The otherhands, in the cases of the mental work, in which corticoid decrease in the blood did not occur, the cells decreased at onces.
