l h 18 m p.m., 70; 2 h 04 m p.m., 74; 2 h 59 m p.m., 70. The sublingual body- 

 temperatures were at 9 h 07 m a. m., 98.2 P. ; ll h 07 m a. m., 98.2 F. ; l h 07 m p. m., 

 98.8 F.; 3 h 07 ra p.m., 98.7 F. The results of the metabolism for this ex- 

 periment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 125. 



Subject, F. W. H., May 10, 1905. Age, 33 years 8 months; 

 height, 173 cm.; weight without clothing, 58.4 kilos. 



The subject ate breakfast consisting of 2 slices of toasted bread and 2 small 

 cups of coffee with cream and sugar, and then entered the respiration chamber 

 shortly after 8 a. m. He was weighed at 8 h 23 m a. m. and then sat down and 

 remained quiet until the beginning of the experiment, which was at 9 h 13 m a. m. 

 At the beginning of each period he went through the usual routine in taking 

 his temperature. Soon after the beginning of the second period the subject 

 went to the food aperture to get paper, food, and water, and rose three times 

 and opened the food aperture three times during the process. At about ll h 40 m 

 a. m. the subject began to eat a lunch consisting of 392 grams of oranges, 194 

 grams of sandwich, and 412 grams of milk. He continued eating at various 

 times until about l h 40 ra p. m. At 12 h 58 m p. m. he passed 256 grams of urine, 

 and at l h 05 m p. m. he stood up while drinking milk and then sat down. 

 The subject rose and went to the food aperture at l h 44 m p. m. to take out 

 a book and then sat down and read during the remainder of the experiment. 

 The experiment was finished at 3 h 13 m p. m. and the measurements were made 

 in three 2-hour periods. The subject made no comments regarding his ex- 

 perience. He was a computer in connection with the nutrition investigations 

 and was somewhat familiar with the apparatus. 



The subject took his pulse only twice during the experiment ; at 10 h 20 m 

 a. m., it was 78 ; and at l h 50 m p. m., it was 67. The sublingual body-tempera- 

 tures were at 9 h 13 m a.m., 98.7 F.; ll h 13 m a.m., 98.6 F. ; l h 13 m p.m., 

 98.4 F.; 3 h 13 m p. m., 98.0 F. The results of the metabolism as determined 

 in the three 2-hour periods are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 126. 



Subject, J. R., May 11, 1905. Age, 22 years 10 months; 

 height, 183 cm.; weight without clothing, 69.2 kilos. 



Before entering the calorimeter at 8 a. m. the subject ate breakfast, con- 

 sisting of 1 banana, 1 small dish of prepared cereal, 2 sausages, and 1 fried 

 potato cake. He was weighed at 8 h 08 m a. m., and then remained quiet until 

 the beginning of the experiment at 9 a. m. At the beginning of each period 

 he went through the usual routine in taking his temperature. After observing 

 his temperature and securing a book from the food aperture at 9 h 04 m a. m. 

 the subject sat down and read until the beginning of the second period at 

 11 a. m. At ll h 20 m a. m. he went to the food aperture to get his lunch and
