94 HENRY H. DONALDSON 
TABLE 2 
Giving daia for the percentage of water in the spinal cord used for the making of 
table 74 (Donaidson 715), which is appended to this article. The records are 
entered by age groups, male and female records being given separately. For any 
age group of either sex the table gives the age to a day, or within a range of fwe 
days, followed by the number of cases—and then by the percentage of water. This 
datum appears first, as observed, second, as corrected for the spinal cord weight, 
and third, as given in table 74, where the values have been computed by formulas 
(Hata), these formulas, in turn, being based on the corrected values as here en- 
tered. When the age is given within a range of five days the interval 5-10 is taken 
as 8, and 0-6 as 3, %.e., 25 — 80 = 28 days, 30 — 35 — 33 days.
