CALORIES BALANCE. 



A comparison of the total heat value of the food with the heat value 

 of the residual matter in the feces and urine will give an indication of 

 the activity of the organism in respect of its relations to the heat and 

 energy supplied by the fodd. The calories were determined by cal- 

 culation, a comparison of such results with those obtained by com- 

 bustion in an atmosphere of oxidation, in the borax experiment, 

 having shown that the two methods give comparable results on a large 

 number of samples. The figures used in the following discussion are 

 found in Table XXI, page 669.
