An indirect method is described for the estimation of systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the unanesthetized dog. The apparatus is a sphygmomanometer equipped with a special type of cuff which permits of compression of the artery without distortion of the leg, and a new type of sphygmograph of sufficient delicacy to record the pulsations from an artery as small as the femoral artery of the dog.
