Daihj routine. — The general routine of the series of experiments is indicated in the following 

 schedule: 



Daihi programrm — Metabolism experiments Nos. 29-31. 



Table LXXV summarizes the more important statistics in the diary kept by the subject. 

 The pulse rate was observed during- periods of both w T ork and rest. The observations of body 

 temperature could not be made as frequently as in the previous series of (rest) experiments, but 

 were frequent enough to afford basis of comparison between the different experiments of this 

 series. 



Amount of work done. — The total number of miles registered by the cyclometer on different 

 days of the series of experiments and the heat equivalent of the work done each day are shown 

 in Table LXXVI. As has already been pointed out, the amount of work done could hardly 

 have been as large as would be required to propel a bicycle the number of miles recorded by the 

 cyclometer. It will be observed that there was but little difference in the average amounts of 

 work done in different days in the different experiments of this series.
