1. The time course of intravascular bubble formation in mice after rapid decompression from 150 Lb/sq. in. has been followed in vivo in a flap preparation of thoracic and abdominal skin.2. Gas appeared first in the arteries, moving distally after a latent period of 3 min or more. Then bubbles appeared, moving centrally, in the venous system.3.
