DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 



TotaZ nitrogen.— As observed by Campbell, (4) in all cases the 

 absolute amount of nitrogen was much lower than that of the 

 normal standard for Europe. However, nitrogen equilibrium 

 has been maintained on very much lower values than those of 

 the normal European standard, a number of modern laboratories 

 having worked on vegetarian diets low in protein. The actual 

 values are judged by the amount of total nitrogen per kilogram 

 of body weight. The results from the normal diet of the students 

 is considerably lower than for the European. Taking our 

 average student weight as representing that of the other sub-
