The agreement between the records of the two animals is fairly- 

 good throughout, not excepting even the coefficients for ether extract 

 and crude fibre. The average coefficients combined with the data 

 previously given (p. 433) for the composition of the hay indicate that it 

 was of very good quality, the digestibility of the organic matter actually 

 exceeding that found for the organic matter of the cottonseed cake in 

 the preceding period.
