Determinations were made only on the composite samples for each day. 

 These include the inorganic and ethereal;, and neutral sulphur and preformed 

 creatinine and creatine. The total weights of materials excreted are recorded 

 in table 152.

Elimination of Wateb-Vapor and Carbon Dioxide and Absorption of Oxygen. 

 The usual determinations of water-vapor, carbon dioxide, and oxygen were 

 made and recorded. The results appear in tables 153 and 154.
