Increasing Quantities of Fat in Diet on Metabolism in Dogs. 287 



Table XIV. The Influence of an Increasing Quantity of Fat in the 

 Diet on the Quantity of Faeces and Water in the Faeces. 



On the other hand I find that in dogs without the large intestine 

 the increase of fat, although it is accompanied by an increase in the 

 quantity of faeces and increase in the quantity of water, is not accom- 

 panied by any decrease of percentage of water eliminated in the 



faeces. 



The breaking up of Fat in the Alimentary Canal in Normal Dogs, and 

 after Partial or Complete Removal of the Large Intestine. 



With regard to the breaking up of fat in the alimentary canal in 

 the absence of the large intestine, analyses were made on each of the 

 preceding dogs of the fat, or rather total ether extract, as regards the 

 quantity of neutral fat, free fatty acids, fat acids as soaps, and cholesterin 

 it contained. 



* One day passed no faeces.
