The weight of the stomach on body weight — Hatai CIS). Technic : 

 The stomach is separated at the pyloric end where a deep con- 

 striction is clearly shown. The esophagus is cut close to the 

 stomach — within a few millimeters. As soon as the stomach is 

 removed, it is cut along the entire length and the contents are 

 carefully removed by means of either the dull side of a knife or 

 forceps. This can be easily done without injuring the stomach 

 for the purpose of recording its weight. 



The graph in chart 39 and the values in table 147 were deter- 

 mined by formulas (24) and (24 a). On account of the pe- 

 culiaritj^ of the growth before weaning two formulas were 

 necessary.
