METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 182. 



Subject, G. E. B., June 23, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 181.) 



The breakfast, which consisted of 1 banana, 1 plum, 1 ego-, and a roll, was 

 eaten shortly before the subject entered the chamber at 8 a. m. The experi- 

 ment began at 8 h 54 m a. m. At the beginning of the first period, the subject 

 went to the food aperture and placed the thermometer in it, and at the begin- 

 ning of the second period she went twice to the food aperture, sitting down 

 and taking her temperature between the two operations. The experiment con- 

 tinued until 12 h 54 m p. m., and there were two 2-hour periods, during which the 

 subject read most of the time. No comments were made by the subject. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 8 h 30 m a.m., 91; 

 9 a.m., 83; 9 h 50 m a.m., 76; 10 h 20 m a.m., 75; 10 h 55 m a.m., 77; ll h 30 m 

 a. m., 75 ; 12 h 05 m p. m., 75 ; 12 h 45 m p. m., 76. The sublingual body-tempera- 

 tures were as follows: 8 h 54 ra a.m., 98.9 F. ; 10 h 54 m a.m., 98.1 F. ; 12 h 54 m 

 p. m., 98 F. The results of the metabolism during the two 2-hour periods 

 are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 183. 



Subject, G. E. B.. June 24, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 181.) 



The subject had for breakfast, steak, potato, and biscuit, and entered the 

 respiration chamber shortly after 8 a. m. The experiment began at 9 h 02 

 a. m. and continued for 4 hours, ending at l h 02 m p. m. The subject read 

 most of the time during the experiment. She went to the food aperture at the 

 beginning of the first period, placed the thermometer in it, and then sat down 

 again, and at ll h 06 m a. m. she went to the food aperture twice and took her 

 temperature as usual. N"o comments were made by the subject. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 8 h 25 m a. m., 87 ; 

 9 a.m., 79; 9 h 30 m a.m., 75; 10 h 05 m a.m., 72; 10 h 40 m a.m., 69; ll h 20 m 

 a. m., 69 ; ll h 50 m a. m., 71 ; 12 h 25 m p. m., 75. The sublingual body-tempera- 

 ture was as follows: 9 h 02 m a.m., 98.7 F. ; ll h 02 m a.m., 98.2 F.; l h 02 m 

 p. m., 98.2 F. The results of the metabolism during the experiment are 

 given in table 44.
