In the four experiments made with the almond oil an average of 21 

 grams of protein, 71 grams of fat (of which 70 grams was almond 

 oil), and 331 grams of carbohydrates was eaten per man per day, and 

 of these amounts 50.1 per cent of the protein, 93.1 per cent of the fat, 

 and 96.3 per cent of the carbohydrates was digested. The value, 93.1 

 per cent obtained for the digestibility of fat, applies to the digesti- 

 bility of the total fat of the diet and is increased to 97.1 when allow- 

 ance is made for the undigested residue resulting from the basal 

 ration and occurring in the ether extract of the feces.
