3 p. m., 66. The sublingual body-temperatures were at 8 h 48 m a. m., 98.0 F. ; 

 10 h 48 m a. m., 97.6 F. ; 12 h 48 ra p. m., 97.5 F. ; 2 h 48 m p. m., 97.7 F. The 

 results of the metabolism in this experiment, as measured in the three 2-hour 

 periods, are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 128. 



Subject, R. A. M., June 8, 1905. Age, 31 years 11 months; 

 height, 166 cm.; weight without clothing, 65 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber shortly after 8 a. m., after 

 having eaten a breakfast consisting of 1 roll, 1 cup of coffee, a small amount 

 of potato, stewed dried beef, 1 banana, and a dish of prepared cereal. He 

 was weighed at 8 h 17 m a. m. and the experiment began at 9 h 24 m a. m., when 

 the subject went to the food aperture to put in the thermometer with which 

 he had taken his temperature. The usual routine in the body-temperature 

 observations was followed during the experiment. Soon after the beginning 

 of the second period the subject went to the food aperture to get his lunch, 

 which consisted of 441 grams of milk and 206 grams of cheese sandwich. He 

 began eating at ll h 42 m a. m. and finished at ll h 56 m a. m. Most of the 

 time during the remainder of the experiment was spent in reading. The ex- 

 periment ended at 3 h 24 m p. m., there having been three 2-hour periods. The 

 subject was an assistant in the experiments and made no comments regarding 

 his experience, except to say that he was slightly chilly all of the time. 



The pulse-rate per minute as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 h 26 m 

 a. m., 71 ; 10 h 26 m a. m., 72 ; ll h 29 m a, m., 65 ; 12 h 34 m p. m., 66 ; l h 35 m p. m., 

 70 ; 2 h 38 m p. m., 70. The sublingual body-temperatures were at 9 h 24 m a. m., 

 98.5 F. ; ll h 24 m a. m., 98.3 F. ; l h 24 m p. m., 98.3 F. ; 3 h 24 m p. m., 98.0 F. 

 The results of the metabolism in the experiment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 129. 



Subject, R. A. M., June 13, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 128.) 



Previoiis to going into the calorimeter the subject ate breakfast, consisting 

 of a cup of coffee, a dish of prepared cereal, a banana, a small piece of salt 

 mackerel, a small amount of potato, and a slice of bread. He was weighed at 

 8 h 22 m a. m. and the experiment began at 9 h 42 m a. m., when the subject went 

 to the food aperture and put the thermometer in. He took his temperature 

 at the beginning of each period and followed the usual routine in making the 

 observation. At ll h 54 m a. m., he rose and took his lunch from the food 

 aperture and commenced eating at ll h 58 m a. m., finishing at 12 h 12 m p. m. 

 The food consisted of 184 grams of cheese sandwich and 452 grams of milk. 

 The subject read most of the remaining time until the experiment ended at 

 3 h 42 m p. m. The subject reported that he felt somewhat chilly, but not enough 

 to cause discomfort.
