252 Dr. W. Marcet and Mr. E. B. Fioris. An Experimental 



out of the calorimeter, when a distinct and gradual fall in the sub- 

 lingual temperature occurred to the extent of O2 C. 



We looked carefully through the results obtained, in order to 

 ascertain whether this cooling of the body while under experiment 

 had any appreciable influence either on the heat emitted, or on the 

 oxygen absorbed, but failed to observe any phenomena which might 

 be ascribed to such a cause ; it must, however, be attended with some 

 effect. 



A few experiments were made on the influence of food in a general 

 way by comparing the heat given out in the calorimeter by the same 

 individual, shortly before, and one or two hours after the midday 

 meal, the meal consisting of a full allowance of meat, potato, bread, 

 and a glass of beer. The experiments before luncheon are, there- 

 fore, in a comparatively fasting condition, and those after luncheon 

 may be looked upon as being under the influence of a full meal.
