The terms and the method of use are the same as with the males. 



TABLES 30 TO 33. 



The tables give equivalents of various units of gases, energy, work, 

 and measures which find use in calculations of respiratory exchange 

 and transformations of energy. The equivalents are given to the 

 same number of significant figures as the sources from which they are 

 obtained, but in most biological work it is seldom necessary to use 

 more than three significant figures.
