Metabolism Experiment No. 75. 



185 



Comparing the losses in weight obtained by the two methods, we have 

 for the first time what may be said to be a satisfactory agreement, the total 

 discrepancy for the 7 days being less than 2 grams. It is furthermore to be 

 noted that the agreement on all individual days is very satisfactory.
