The blood findings in five monkeys after experimental high intestinal obstruction are reported. All animals showed the marked rise in non-protein nitrogen characteristic of intestinal obstruction in man and the dog.

The uric acid and creatinine showed no typical changes. No vomiting was observed. This emphasizes the fact that vomiting alone does not account for the fall in blood chlorides characteristic of intestinal obstruction.
