leak, the measurements were discontinued at the end of approximately 2 

 minutes. Between the second and third, third and fourth, and the fifth and 

 sixth periods she sat up in a chair, lying down on the couch again 13 to 20 

 minutes before the beginning of the following period. The nurse gave her a 

 massage in the intermission between the fourth and fifth periods. Previous to 

 the experiment the subject drank 120 c.c. of water. She also urinated at 

 l h 50 m p. m., and again at 5 h 10 m p. m., 6 h 40 m p. m., and 10 h 30 m p. m. The 

 results of the experiment are given in tables 88 and 91. 



Calorimeter Experiment No. Ull. 



Date, June 2-3, 1911. Body-weight without clothing, 36.2 kilos. 



In this experiment (the fourth of Scries II) the subject remained in the 

 bed calorimeter all night, with one short intermission. At 10 p. m. the nurse in 

 attendance gave her an alcohol rub-down in preparation for the experiment. 

 The subject also drank a glass of water at 10 h 50 m p. m., just before entering the 

 apparatus, but took no food. The experiment was divided into two parts; the 

 first part began at ll h 55 m p. m. and continued for one period of 1 hour and 32 

 minutes, and a second of 1 hour and 47 minutes, ending at 2 h 14 m a. m. The 

 subject was then taken out of the calorimeter for a short time, but returned to 

 the apparatus at 2 h 40 m a. m., the second part of the experiment beginning at 

 4 h 01 m a. m. In this section of the experiment the measurements were also

made in two periods, the first 1 hour and 4 minutes and the second 1 hour in 

 length. No records of the body-temperature were obtained, and the pneumo- 

 graph was not used, but the pulse-rate was taken by means of the stethoscope. 

 The subject slept throughout the first period, but waked at the end, and her 

 slight movement at this time disturbed the measurement of the oxygen. At 

 the beginning of the next period she fell asleep again, and slept until taken out 

 of the calorimeter. After reentering the apparatus she slept the rest of the 

 night and was very quiet. The experiment did not appear to disturb the sub- 

 ject at all, for she was rested by her night's sleep and said that she had slept 

 better than she did at home. No water was taken during the experiment. 

 Urine was passed at 6 h 40 m and 10 h 30 m p. m. June 2, and at 2 h 25 m and 6 h 25 m 

 a. m. June 3. The records of the experiment are given in tables 89 and 91. 



Respiration Experiment No. U12. 



Date, June 3, 1911. Body-weight without clothing, 35.8 kilos. 



The last experiment of Series II was preceded by a breakfast of 153 grams 

 of beefsteak, taken at 7 h 42 m a. m. With the steak, the subject drank 150 c.c. 

 of water. She lay down upon the couch at 8 h 15 ra a. m., and the experiment 

 began at 8 h 41 m a. m., continuing for five periods 13 to 15 minutes in length, 

 with intermissions ranging from 17 to 45 minutes. The subject complained
