Metabolism of Healthy Max. 



series of comparisons in a later publication. The results for the first, second, 

 and fifth periods are here reported as a comparison between the metabolism 

 while sitting and the metabolism while standing. 



The pulse, respiration, and body-temperature were taken as in experiment 

 No. 148, the pulse and respiration records being given in table 35. The body- 

 temperature records were as follows: 8 h 40 m a.m., 36.69 C. ; 10 h 40 m a.m., 

 36.59 C.; 12 h 40 m p.m., 36.65 C. ; 2 h 40 m p.m., 36.65 C. : 4 h 40 m p.m.. 

 36.65 C; 6 h 40 m p.m., 37.16 C. The records of the metabolism are given 

 in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 150. 



Subject, H. R. D., February 10, 1906. Age, 17 years and 10 months; 

 height, 171 cm.; weight without clothing, 57.7 kilos. 



The subject was a student in "Wesleyan University and this experiment was 

 made to study the metabolism during the early hours of fasting. The results 

 are included here for comparison with a following experiment in which the 

 results are given for a particular series of movements common to respiration- 

 calorimeter experiments. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 7 h 30 m a. m. without having 

 eaten any breakfast. The meal the evening before consisted of potato, 2 slices 

 of bread, a small amount of rice pudding, and 3 glasses of milk. He was 

 weighed at 7 h 53 m a. m. and then remained seated in the chair until the begin- 

 ning of the first period, which was at 9 h 15 m a. m. The experiment continued 

 for 8 hours and during this time the subject remained sitting quietly in the
