Subsequent to his stay in the calorimeter the subject prepared from his notes 



a program, which is given herewith. 



Complete rest. 



Arranging furniture 30 m ; typewriting 5 h . 

 Reading from 1" to 1" 30 m p. m.; first meal, 1" 30 m 

 to l h 45 m p. m.; alternate rest and typewriting to 

 end of period. 

 7 p. m. to 1 a. m. Slept 2 h 30 m ; ate second meal of the day and rested 

 c 30 m ; wrote on typewriter rest of time. 



March 25. la. m. to 7 a.m. Slept 2 h 30 m ; read 30 m ; rested 30 m ; wrote on type- 

 writer 2 h 30 m . 



This schedule as given by the subject indicates a total of over 11 hours of 

 work (typewriting) but no definite record regarding the amount of work 

 accomplished was obtained. A small portable machine, usually carried in the 

 subject's traveling bag, was used. The program shows a marked difference in 

 the muscular activity between the first period (1 a.m. to 7 a. m., March 24) 

 and the last period (1 a.m. to 7 a.m., March 25). In the first there was 

 complete rest and in the last he was relatively active. This schedule is of 

 interest in interpreting the metabolism of this subject later on. While writing 

 with the typewriter he sat on the bed and occasionally, when he was about 

 to move around in the chamber, the machine was placed on the floor. 



Pulse and body-temperature. Fragmentary data regarding the pulse and 



body-temperature (with clinical thermometer in the rectum) are given herewith.

Food. 

 During this experiment the subject partook of the simple diet that he was 

 wont to use during experiments on himself. It consisted of milk, prepared 

 cereal, and maple sugar. The total amount of food eaten corresponded to but
