The Nature of Animal Light
Harvey, E. Newton (Edmund Newton)
Phosphorescence
Page 87: added missing closing parenthesis "(and that too of such a
_Density_ to make them continue _shining_)"
Page 90: "necesary" changed to "necessary" (Boyle also made many
experiments to show that air was necessary for the life of animals ...)
Page 93: changed "thermo-couple" to "thermocouple" (using a thermocouple
as the measuring instrument)
Page 94: "_D_" changed to "_B_" (placed in a large Dewar flask (_B_)
filled with water)
Page 97: "thermo-couple" changed to "thermocouple" (Readings of each
thermocouple on the galvanometer scale ...)
Page 94: "Thermo-couples" changed to "Thermocouples" (Thermocouples (_L_
and _M_) of advance...)
Page 100: changed "McKenny" to "McKenney" (McKenney (1902) found also ...)
Page 102: changed "misceable" to "miscible" (insoluble in water but
miscible with it)
Page 103: "demontrate" changed to "demonstrate" (I have been unable to
demonstrate their existence in luminous bacteria;)
Page 104: "thermolable" changed to "thermolabile" ( ...and a thermolabile
complement (_alexin_) are necessary.)
Page 104: "thermolable" changed to "thermolabile" (Because of the
necessity of thermostable and thermolabile substances for light
production ...)
Page 105: "thermolable" changed to "thermolabile" (luciferase
(=_photogenin_) for the thermolabile material ...)
Page 111: "preslence and H_{2}O_{3}" changed to "presence of H_{2}O_{2}"
(_lophin_ could be oxidized by vertebrate blood in the presence of
H_{2}O_{2}.)
Page 116: "or" changed to "of" ( ... and would disappear from solution in
the course of a day or so.)
Page 116: changed "oxidizible" to "oxidizable" (The luciferins, as the
oxidizable substances, must claim first attention.)
Page 123: "contrated" changed to "concentrated" (1 c.c. portions of
concentrated luciferin)
Page 132: "coluciferase" changed to "co-luciferase" (He now regards it as
identical with his co-luciferase)
Page 151, Table 13: corrected duplicate numbering "10" to "11" (11 Ferric
chloride)
Page 151, Table 13: corrected duplicate numbering "14" to "15" (15
Chromic sulfate)
Page 151, Table 13: abbreviated "minute" to "min." in two entries (boiled
1 min. and filtered)
Page 158: changed "appear" to "appears" (... and yet light appears only
in presence of the latter.)
Page 162: added missing closing punctuation (More complete works on light
and luminescence come first and original articles follow.)
Page 165: added missing comma (DUBOIS, R.: 1918a, Sur la Synthèse de la
Luciferine.)
Page 165: changed "Biophotogénesis" to "Biophotogénèse" (Recherches
Recentes de M. Newton Harvey sur la Biophotogénèse)
Page 165: changed "Biophotogénèsis" to "Biophotogénèse" (Nouvelles
Recherches sur la Biophotogénèse)
Page 166: changed "Oxydations geschwindigkeit" to
"Oxydationsgeschwindigkeit" (Ueber die Oxydationsgeschwindigkeit von
Phosphor ...)
