Drinking-water. Water for drinking purposes was furnished ad libitum. 

 In order to compute the heat production, the quantity of water consumed during 

 each period of the day (when the record of body movements indicated that 

 water was drunk) was estimated by methods similar to those followed in 

 experiment No. 59. Data for making this apportionment were rather more 

 complete in this experiment than in the previous one. All water was cooled 

 and its temperature taken before it was received by the subject. This is true 

 also of all the experiments following. The amounts obtained by means of these 

 estimates are recorded in table 21. 



From table 21 it appears that the quantity of water drunk on the second day 

 of the experiment was much larger than that consumed on the first day; in
