TABLE 34. (continued). Basal metabolism at different times of day in chair-calorimeter ex- 

 periments. Boston. (Values per hour). 



J The beginning of the "First hour" was for the subjects in this table approximately between 



S^O" 1 a. m. and 9 a. m. 

 2 C'alculated to hour basis; measured in period of 45 min. The heat values for subjects A. G. E., 



and C. H. H., are heat eliminated corrected for change in body-weight, but not for change 

 in body-temperature. 



3 Heat eliminated corrected for change in body-weight, but not for change in body-temperature. 

 4 The heat measurements for the experiments with this subject were technically defective. 



A summary of the values for the basal metabolism found with the 

 subjects of the Boston calorimeter experiments is given in table 35. 

 With two subjects we have values obtained with both the chair and 

 bed calorimeters, which show that the metabolism in the chair calo- 

 rimeter is perceptibly higher than that in the bed calorimeter. The 

 difference is so much greater than that which would commonly be 

 expected, and also greater than that shown in an earlier report from
