P'ig. 1 Diagram representing the relative (percentage) weights of the head, 

 trunk and extremities of adult albino rats. The first column represents the re- 

 lations found in normal rats corresponding to the average initial body weight of 

 those used in the experiments. 1 he second column represents the relations found 

 in the acute inanition series, and the third column those found in the chronic 

 inanition series.
