OBSERVATIONS ON THE UPJNE. 



79 



6 '8 grams, or 105 grains daily, 4 J grains hourly. This seems 

 much about the average amount. 



The analyses of chlorine, however, were not so exact as the 

 others, on account of there sometimes being a difficulty in 

 settling when the point of saturation was reached. 



Section II. 



Belative Proportions of the Constituents, — The urea seems to be 

 about eleven times greater than the phosphoric acid, and about 

 five times greater than the chlorides. These, however, do not 

 keep their proportions constant, nor is that of the urea to the 

 water so much so as it generally is. 



Section III. 



On the amount of each constituent excreted in 24 hours by a 

 definite amount of body weight. 



My weight is at present 134 lbs., and deducting 9 lbs. for 

 clothes, and 1 or 2 lbs. which I feel sure I have gained since 

 the end of the session, I have calculated this table for 125 lbs. 

 weight. I have entered in the last column the average which 

 Parkes gives, showing that the average in my water and chlorine 

 is lower, but higher in the urea and PO^.
