The pneumograph was used for obtaining the pulse and respiration, which 

 are given in table 41. The electrical-resistance thermometer was used for 

 measuring the body-temperature and the records are as follows : 9 h 05 m a. m., 

 36.51 C.; ll h 05 m a.m., 36.48 C. ; l h 05 m p.m.. 36.01 C. : 3 h 05 m p.m., 

 36.55 C; 5 h 05 m p. m., 36.80 C. The results of the metabolism are recorded 

 in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 156. 



Subject, H. C. K., May 16, 1906. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 155.) 



The subject had entered the calorimeter the day before and after being 

 weighed had eaten between 8 h 16 m a. m. and 8 h 50 m a. m., 100 grams of plasmon, 

 47 grams of plasmon graham biscuit, and 439 grains of skim milk. He had 

 remained in the chamber the whole day. sitting quietly in an arm-chair, and 

 had urinated at 9 h 10 m p. m. and retired at 9 h 44 m p. m. During the night 

 he slept with his clothes on and with a blanket drawn up over him, but during 

 the morning from 7 h 10 m a. m. to l h 10 m p. m., he lay awake. The blanket 

 was removed between 5 a. m. and 7 a. m., and was not used again during the 

 remainder of the experiment. The subject passed 348 grams of urine at 

 7 h 10 m a. m. and 295 grams after the experiment ended, at l h 10 p. m. He 

 drank no water during the periods here reported. The subject said that he 

 did not sleep very well during the night, was rather restless, that the pneu- 

 mograph felt uncomfortable, especially around his back, and that when he 

 was awake during the day he could not lie still, and consequently was some- 

 what restless. This experiment, and experiment No. 157 were planned for
