COMPARISONS OF RESPIRATORY EXCHANGE. 



Table 12. — Respiratory exchange in comparison experiments with the bed calorimeter and the 

 Benedict respiration apparatus {tension-equalizer unit). {Without food.) — Continued. 



A critical examination of the table shows that in many of the ex- 

 periments the respiratory quotient is noticeably higher with the bed 

 calorimeter, irrespective of the order in which the experiments were
