There was not, therefore, any decade which was recorded so frequently as half of the 
whole number of observations ; but the two medium decades of 40 to 60 oz. somew'hat 
exceeded half of the whole. The larger quantity of 60 to 70 oz. was present in no 
fewer than one-fifth of the whole, and the extremes of below 30 and above 7 0 oz. were 
found in 10 per cent, of the whole. 
There was a close proximity in time in the emission of the extreme quantities ; so that 
an unusually large quantity immediately succeeded to or was immediately succeeded by 
a small one, and mce versa, as is illustrated by the following observations : —

70 ounces were followed by 
50 and 41 ounces on 
succeeding days.

In numerous instances there was a marked alternation in the quantities evolved on 
succeeding days, as was noticed by Dr. Pakkes, and is well shown in the following
