 London's experiments on digestion of different food- 

 stuffs. The square-root rule. Secretion of pancreatic 

 juice (Dolinsky). Digestion of small quantities calcu- 

 lated as a monomolecular process. Digestion and 

 resorption of carbohydrates. Secretion of enteric juice 

 (London and Sandberg).
