TitleUnpublished paper, 'Note regarding the "Observations" of T [Thomas] Wharton Jones "On the Blood Corpuscles"' by Martin Barry
DateMay 1843
DescriptionBarry responds to Jones' criticism of his earlier work on blood corpuscles (see AP/25/18). He observes that the structure of the blood corpuscles can be accurately learned only by a careful investigation of their mode of origin, and by following them through all their changes in the capillary vessels, and especially in the capillary plexuses and dilatations, where all their stages of transition from the colourless to the red corpuscles maybe seen. Dr. Barry denies that he meant certain general remarks in his paper, referring to more than twenty delineations of corpuscles from various animals, to apply exclusively to those of man.
