Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



is considered that the earlier experiment included the night periods of sleep 

 while the experiment in May was made during the 8 hours of the day when 

 the subject was awake. These experiments show strikingly the possible varia- 

 tions in the pulse-rate of the same individual under conditions of body rest. 

 With A. L. L. much more uniformity is found.

The differences in the pulse-rate of the subject S. A. B. have been pointed 

 out to a considerable extent in a previous publication. 1 In these experiments, 

 particularly that of March 4 to 11, it was found that there was a tendency for
