Extract

The object of this paper is to show that certain errors are inevitable when white blood-cells are enumerated, and to demonstrate that results from such enumerations must be interpreted with mathematical considerations. In the past the mathematical applications have, to a large extent, been ignored, and only the actual experimental figures considered. Here an endeavour is made to correlate the two, and to refer to various fallacies that may be present when conclusions from such results are under consideration.
