Fig 2 Diagram representing the relative (percentage) weights of the various 

 systems (integument, skeleton, musculature, viscera and 'remainder') of adult 

 albino rats. The first column represents the relations found in normal rats cor- 

 responding to the average initial body weight of those used in the experiments. 

 The second column represents the relations found in the acute inanition series, 

 and the third column those found in the chronic inanition series.
