considered for the most part in this study of walking, it has not seemed 

 necessary to duplicate all the calculations on the per kilogram of body- 

 weight basis.

Lusk 1 reports that a dog which had been allowed to run in the country 

 during the summer months showed a metabolism 16 per cent higher 

 than when confined in the laboratory. Benedict, Miles, Roth, and 

 Smith 2 also noted for a group of 12 men (Squad B) an apparent seasonal 

 change from 1.10 calories to 0.98 calorie per kilogram per hour in the 

 basal metabolism between October and January. A seasonal change 

 in the metabolism is therefore not to be regarded as unusual, and 

 E. D. B. may have found the regular life and the exercise of the morning
