The average of 
4 subjects (23 exp.) 1032.7 :4 =258.2 and (60 exp.) 1020.3 :4=255.1. 
In considering the results obtained with each individual separately 
we notice differences in one way or another, comparatively small 
though they may be. 
In connection with what has been said above we believe that no 
great value should be set upon these differences. 
Taking the averages of all the subjects, we find fairly correspond- 
ing values, viz. 258.2 in the cold and 255.1 in the warm season, 
so that we may conclude, that the season has no influence upon 
the metabolism in a state of repose. 
It appears then, that our results agree with those of Ekman ') 
who got his averages in like manner, finding 253.8 in the winter 
and 253.3 in the summer. 
Without tabulating our results at large we subjoin a somewhat 
more detailed report about them :
