Under normal conditions there is a rapid tendency for the multilobed forms to appear, and the polymorphonuclear cells to assume adult form.¹ This characteristic change may be influenced toward a shifting back to the young single-lobed nucleated cells by the utraviolet light.² It was, therefore, considered desirable to study the action of the irradiated produce, "viosterol," on the blood of the new-born infant.

METHOD

This study is based on a series of forty new-born infants observed during a period of six months. The differential counts were made within six hours after birth and at intervals of twenty-four hours thereafter. The determinations were made at the same time every day.
