given in table 6. From the data of the respiratory exchange com- 

 bined with the nitrogen excretion we have calculated further the total 

 metabolism in accordance with the principles laid down by Zuntz. 

 We have assumed that the protein corresponding to the N found in 

 the urine is completely catabolized during each 8 hour period pro- 

 ducing 24.98 Calories per gr. Л^ and combining with 5.92 1, oxygen 

 to form 4.741. CO^ (R. Q. 0.803). After deducing the oxygen and
