1) The notch igs found in QRS group are all of the 15 normal electrocardiogram recorded with the cathode ray oscillograph. 2) The notchings are found least in the 2nd lead, in which over half of the cases have no notching, on the other hand in the 3rd lead all of them except 1 have notchings and some of them in high degree. 3) In the 2nd lead all cases and in 1st lead almost all the notchings are found in the upper part of the R wave. On the other hand in the 3rd lead the notchings appear sometimes at the beginning of the Q wave and about the end of the S wave, and are varied. 4) No certain time relation between the notchings in the QRS group can be found in any lead. 5) According to the results of Grocdd's experiment the right arm coresponds to the sinus node, and the left arm and the left leg are electrically not pure and their voltage are compounds of the action voltage of the left and right ventricles. So the notching of the 1st and 2nd leads can be recognized, and the fact that the notchings of the 3rd lead are various and most evident can be explained. Also it can be recognized that the author could not find any definite time relation between these notchings. 6) From the fact that almost all cases have many notchings in the QBS group, the theory of Bohnenkamp, that the ventricular complex is explained by the compound of the two upward and the downward monophasic curves, is not correct. 7) It is not proper at this time to decide the damage of the stimulus conductions system only by the notchings of the QRS group.

The author compared the whole course of blood coagulation in the cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and pneumonia with that of a normal person and obtained the following results. The time duration of the beginning and the total phase of the coagulation in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and that of the first, the beginning, the active and the completing phase in case of pneumonia showed prolongation. In cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, the mean-value of the hardnss in the active of the coagulation decreased, but that in the completing increased. In case of pneumonia that in the completing increased.

1) When potassium bromide which is photoelectrically active by long visible rays, is taken, the urine excreted during certain time afterwards becomes photoelectrically active by long visible rays. Potassium compounds and bromides except potassium bromide are photoelectrically inactive by long visible rays. Therefore, the reason why the urine excreted after taking potassium bromide becomes photoelectrically active by long visible rays is that potassium bromide is excreted into urine and does not depend on other potassium compounds and bromides. .Namely, potassium bromide is excreted unchanged as potassium bromide or at least a certain part of it. 2) The writer observd the excretion of po- tassium bromide of healthy persons. 3) The threshold wave length of photoelectric effect of potassium bromide measured by the writer is. far longer than that of reports to the present time. As potassium bromide kept unexposed to ultraviolet rays of short wave length or recrytallized, is photoelectrically active by visible rays longer than 5600 Å, the reason the threshold wave length as measured by the writer is longer than that by other investigators does not depend on the strain of the crystall or its exposure to short ultraviolet rays, but on the high sensitivity of the writer's apparatus.

1) Ich habe an der Hand von photoelektrischen Plethysphygmogrammen von 6 Krankeii mit Arhythmia perpetua Betrachtungen iiber die P uls well en gesch win digkeit angestell. 2) Welter habe ich diesbeziiglich den Befund an Kranken mit Arteriosklerose mit Hypertension mit dem an derartigen Krauken ohne Hypertension und mit dein nach dem Adrenalinversuch bei Gesunden verglichen. 3) Als Endresultat trat folgendes klar zutage : Je hoher der Blutclruck, je grosser das Schlagvolumen, je lebhafter die Herzfunktion und je hochgradiger die Sklerosierung der Gefasswand ist, um so grosser ist die Pulswellengeschwindigkeit. 4) Dutch Vergleich des photoelektrischen Plethysphygmogramms am Handteller mit dem an der Fusssohle berechnet sich die Pulswellengeschwindigkeit zu 8 m/Sek.

The author studied the change of skin temperature when a negative pressure was applied intermittently, with a thermo-junction consisted of constantan and iron and a d'Arsouval's galvanometer(sensitivity 1.5×10^<10>A, periode 25 seconds). In normal persons, there was recognized a rise of skin temperature after the application of suction and in about 8〜12 minutes the local temperature recovered to that before the suction. In arteriosclerotic patients, the rise of skin temperature was slight and the recovery was delayed compared with that in normal persons. Moreover, in few case of arteriosclerotic patients no change of temperature was recognized.
