 animal tissues. 



J At page 36 the carbon contained in the daily food of these prisoners is cal- 

 culated at 8 oz., and the appendix in the original makes the number also 8' 5, 

 apparently by an error in adding up the above numbers, which yield the sum 

 of 9 oz. Possibly there may be an error in excess in the proportion of carbon 

 calculated for the soup, which, in that case, ought to be 0-25 oz. EDITOR.
