In disregarding the leucocyte entirely he seems to have done wrong, since various observers have called attention to the variability of phagocytic activity by leucocytes obtained from various sources—in certain stages of infection and in artificially induced leucocytosis. But as far as I can determine no one has offered a satisfactory explanation for this varied activity.Believing that Arneth's classification1 of neutrophiles in conjunction with the phagocytic power of the neutrophile might throw light on this question, I made the following
