Plasma trapping varies with the hematocrit level (35) and the body: venous hematocrit ratio is altered in some circulatory disorders (11, 35), with splenomegaly (36) and in pregnancy (37). Other investigators may conveniently com- pare their data with ours before they apply any desired correction factors. Wrbe as determined here is independent of the body: venous hematocrit ratio. but Vp! and Vwb are not. It should LF5 be noted that Vrbe as reported here includes leukocytes and platelets because hematocrits were read to the top of the buffy coat. The finding that blood volume relates more The regression-equations presented here should not be relied..cn—for heights and weights outside the range covered by our observations, since there is no reasomrto suppose that the regression planes wouldcontinue-to-be the same beyond the observed domain. ‘Furthermore, the accuracy with which the planes are estimated decreases as we depart from the ceriter {indicated by a cross) of the height: weight seater diagram (Figure 1). For predicting ‘‘normal” volumes in individual cases, the graphic representation of the regression closely to one or another combination of height planes shown in Figure 1 has several advantages : a) No calculations are required; 6) one can see at (1-6, 13, 14). von Porat (4) proposed the use weight are within the range covered by our calculations; and ¢) any existing peculiarities of and weight than to either measure alone is im accord with the results of several other studies a glance whether the individual's height and of (height)* as a reference and Allen and co- height: weight relations of the individual under
