NOTE—Dr J. S. Haldane, in a lecture at the British Association meeting in 1926, said that the new physiological facts elicited by the Mount Everest Expeditions were of the most striking character. It was shown that acclimatization sufficient to prevent any symptom of mountain sickness could be obtained at a height of even 27,000 feet. The experiences of Norton, Somervell, and Odell on that point were conclusive. To an unacclimatized person a stay of any duration at a height of 27,000 feet would have meant absolutely certain death. He accounted for the acclimatization on Mount Everest by assuming that the lungs actively secreted oxygen inwards.
