The total amounts per day of water of respiration and perspiration remained 

 much more nearly constant than for the corresponding 4 days of any preceding 

 experiment. 



Table 153. Record of water of respiration and perspiration Metabolism 



experiment No. 77. 



1 Allowance has been made for water lost from the chair, bedding, and miscellaneous 

 articles as follows : April 8-9, 25.12 grams ; April 9-10, 39.02 grams ; April 10-11, 49.22 grams ; 

 April 11-12, 29.22 grams. 



The data recorded in table 15-1 show that the carbon dioxide elimination 

 gradually diminished as the experiment proceeded. There was a slight increase 

 in the consumption of oxygen on the second day, a diminished amount on the 

 third, and constancy for the third and fourth days.
