In the preceding paper ( 1 ) the preparation, by the action of chloroform on calcium and cell free plasma and subsequent precipitation of the globulins, of a globulin fraction having marked fibrinogenolytic and fibrinolytic properties was described. The present communication describes the chemical nature of these preparations. The preceding paper explains the activity of the chlo- roform plasma preparations on the basis of the presence, in them, of a proteolytic enzyme. The present communication offers evidence substantiating this assumption.
