If we fnrther compare the figures for the first and second gener- 

 ation of animals as given in Table VI. we find that the percentage 

 Aveight of the kidneys in the second generation of meat-fed rats is 

 decidedly higher than in the first generation, — the figures being 

 1,59 grammes, against 1,23 grms. per cent. So that the percentage 

 weight of the kidneys in thirty-two animals of the second generation 

 of meat-fed rats was more than 50 o/, greater than that of 28 controls.
