title: [Studies on medico-legal diagnosis in cold district. 5. The blood shed on the snow (author's transl)].
abstract: By using bovine blood as a model, the authors have observed the forms and patterns of the blood drops shed or spurted on the snow and the extent of a large amount of blood absorbed in the deep snows, investigating the influence of the properties of snow upon them. It has been demonstrated that the polarographic method is most excellent for the purpose of determining the amount of blood absorbed in the snow.
