noticed that he was asleep and he was waked up by telephone. The undressing 

 period was from 5 p. m. to 6 p. m. and the usual routine was followed. The 

 subject was without clothing for 2 m 51 s . 



The pulse-rate during the first 3 hours as taken by the subject was as follows : 

 2 h 04 m p. m., 92; 2 h 30 m p. m., 84; 3 h 07 m p. m., 84; 3 h 20 m p. m., 72 ; 3 h 50 m 

 p. m., 72 ; 4 h 30 m p. m., 66 ; 4 h 55 m p. m., 70. The sublingual body-temperature 

 was as follows: 2 p.m., 97.9 F. ; 5 p.m., 97.7 P.; 6 p.m., 98 F. The 

 results of the metabolism are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 172. 



Subject, G. G. R., March 20, 1905. Age, 19 years 11 months; 

 height, 178 cm.; weight without clothing, 77.2 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber after a breakfast consisting of 

 2 dishes of cooked cereal and milk, milk toast, and coffee. He was weighed 

 at 8 h 01 m a. m. ; the rest period began at 8 h 53 m a. m. and continued until 

 12 h 53 m p. m. Most of the time the subject was copying from a report and 

 from a magazine. At 8 h 55 m a. m. he went to the food aperture. The undress- 

 ing period was from l h 53 m a. m. to 12 h 53 m p. m., the subject following the 

 regular routine for these experiments. From 12 h 24 m p. m. until the end of 

 the experiment he sat quietly reading. The subject was undressed 2 m 28 s . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject during the first 3 hours was as follows : 

 9 a. m., 76 ; 9 h 45 m a. m., 70 ; 10 h 30"' a. m., 70 ; ll h 15 m a. m., 68 ; 12 noon, 69. 

 The sublingual body-temperature was at 8 h 53 m a. m., 98.6 F. ; ll h 53 m a. m., 

 98.5 F.; 12 h 53 m p.m., 98.6 F. The results of the metabolism are given 

 in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 173. 



Subject. J. V. C, March 21, 1905. Age, 22 years 1 month; 

 height, 173 cm.; weight, without clothing, 63.1 kilos. 



The subject entered the chamber at about 8 a. m. and was weighed at 8 h 01 m 

 a. m. Previous to entering he had eaten a breakfast consisting of 3 pancakes 

 with butter and sirup and 1 cup of coffee with sugar and milk. The rest 

 period began at 8 h 48 m a. m. and continued until ll h 48 m a. m. During most 

 of the time the subject was occupied in copying from a report and from a 

 magazine. At 8 h 51 m a. m. he went to the food aperture. He drank 106 c. c. 

 of water at 9 h 08 m a. m., and at 10 h 22 m a. m. he passed 380 grams of urine. 

 He finished copying at ll h 40 m a. m. and then remained quietly in the chair 

 until ll h 48 m a.m., at which time the undressing period began. The subject 

 followed the usual- routine connected with the undressing and on completing 

 this at 12 h 12 m p. m. he sat down and read until the end of the experiment 

 at 12 h 48 m p. m. The subject was undressed 2 m 3 s . 



The pulse-rate for the experiment as taken by the subject was as follows : 

 8 h 33 m a. m., 74; 8 h 55 m a. m., 74; 9 h 25 m a. m., 75 ; 9 h 55 m a. m.. 67 ; 10 h 25 m
