Their results appear in tables 167 and 168. 



In the course of a study on the influence of diet on the teeth

 in newborn rats from normal mothers, table 169. 



In connection with a study of the phosphorus compounds in 

 the Albino after ovariotomy Heymann ('04) has recorded the 

 P 2 O 5 distribution in the normal rat (see Keith and Forbes, '14). 

 His data for the normal appear in table 170.
