The authors imoroved the ordinary small high barometric pressure for animal experiments to study on the physiological phenomena caused by high barometric pressure and of decompression sickness. As Fig.1 shows, the new apparatus is equipped with an air-compressor (maximum pressure:10kg/cm^2, air-supply:345 1/min.). It takes 20 minutes to obtain 10kg/cm^2 pressure. As Fig.2 shows, there are two observation windows on both sides of the tank cylinder. Inside of the tank is well lighted through the upper two windows by means of electric lamps fixed at the top of the cylinder. An electric heater is set up in the tank to warm the room and temperature is adjusted thermostatically. The capacity of the tank is about 1/25 of that of the recompression tank for human, i.e the hospital lock, and it is convenient for animal experiments in respect of getting high barometric pressure rapidly. The tank is also equipped with dozen of leading wire, which connect the inside and outside of the tank electrically, for the purpose of tanking E.C.G, P.C.G., body temperature etc.
