Influence of Inanition on Metabolism. 



spilled was obtained by the ratio of its nitrogen content to the nitrogen of 

 the measured urine. The same method was employed in calculating the 

 carbon, hydrogen, ash, and solid matter in the urine spilled. While it is 

 impossible that all the urine was taken up by the cheese cloth, it is believed 

 that the error introduced is inappreciable. 



As stated above, the amount of urine was obtained for each period in all 

 experiments. The specific gravity of the urine for the different periods, how- 

 ever, was not taken, except during the first day of experiment No. 79, and the 



Table 163. Amounts and specific gravity of urine Metabolism experiments

2 days of experiment No. 89. Except in the latter experiment, determinations 

 of nitrogen and other constituents of the urine were made only on the daily 

 composites. The amounts of urine by periods and the specific gravity for each 

 day are given in table 163. The corresponding data for experiment No. 89 

 are given in a separate table, for the reason that in this experiment the nitrogen 

 was determined on the urine for each period. 



Weight and composition of urine. In table 165 are recorded the determi- 

 nations of elements and compounds in the urine for each day of the series, 

 together with the heat of combustion of the organic matter of each daily 

 sample. In considering the table, special attention should be paid to the note 

 on experiment No. 85.
