(11) Frankland's table of food required to lift a male adult {weigh' 

 ing 10 stones) 10,000 feet. 



(12) {Lyons' food tables). — The follotiing is the quantity of cereals and 

 pulses 7'equired by an adult weighing 110 lb. {the average iveight of 

 labourers in this country) for his nourishment. To cereals \ oz. of 

 fat or oil or ghee and not less tJian | oz. of salt should be added. 



The above tables are based on the nourishment required by a 

 labourer in England whose average weight is 150 lb. It is assumed 

 that the work done and the nourishment required vary directly as the 

 weight and no allowance is apparently made for the smaller quantity 

 of food required in hot climates. 



In calculating the cost of food^ the value of rice may be taken to 

 be 30 lb., of the dry gi'ains 50 lb., of wheat 15 lb., and of dholl 25 lb., 

 per rupee.
