t At page 34 the carbon contained in the daily food of these pris- 

 oners is calculated 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 25 oz. G.
