(a) According to Atwater and Woods (Bulletin, No. 28, p. 41, 1896). 



(b) Limousin chestnuts, which are the most abundant ; the chestnut is 

 an important aliment in several departments (centre and midi) ; France 

 produces about 4 million quintals. 



(c) Chocolate contains cocoa, which gives it an alcaloid principle, a neuro- 

 muscular excitant, cafein (see 102) ; there is 0'16% of cafein in cocoa, 

 and 1-40 gr. per 109 grammes of meunier chocolate, according to our per- 

 sonal investigation. American chocolate is very rich in fats ; its com- 

 position is : carbon hydrates, 26'80 ; fats, 47'10 ; proteids, 12'50. It has 

 a calorific power of 589'74 cal. (Atwater and Woods, Bulletin, No. 28, p. 41). 

 But the calorific power does not show the quality of an aliment.
