Division I. February 5th to February Ihth. 



The nitrogen of the urine from February 5,th to February 10th 

 inclusive, presents very little that is worthy of remark, unless it be 

 that the sixth and seventh were apparently days of small elimination, 

 the ninth and tenth of moderate, and the eighth one of excessive 

 discharge. The daily average from February 5th to February 10th 

 inclusive was 14*94 grams; the averages of the experiments of 1882 

 were as follows : — 



I. 15'03 grams. 

 II. 1462 „ 

 III. 14-58 „ 



giving an average for the three experiments of 14'74 grams, showing 

 I think that my assumption that the diet during the 1st division of 

 the 1883 experiments was very nearly the same as the special experi- 

 mental diet, is justifiable. 



On February 11th, a day of fast, the discharge by the urine was 

 9- 63 grams, on February 14th 9'30 grams, on February 15th 9'26 grams, 

 on February 27th 8*66 grams; also days of abstinence from food.
