methoxyl group in corn fodder. 
§112. The average percentage of this group found in the fod¬ 
der was 1.445, and in the feces 2.033. discussing this group 
under the subject of alfalfa, I stated that the results were probably 
rather low, basing this judgment on the check results obtained on a 
commercial sample of quinine. This observation applies to all of 
the samples and particularly, perhaps, to this case, as the amount 
found in the feces is the lowest in the series. 
§113. The assumption that the orts and fodder were so nearly 
alike that no material error is made by taking them as the same is 
probably wrong in' this case, for the orts were nothing other than 
corn stalks, which were so hard that the sheep did not eat them. 
They consisted essentially of the hard parts of the stalk and pith. 
*These orts consisted wholly of pieces of stalks too hard for the sheep 
to eat. 
**This figure has, as will readily be understood, no value, but it is the 
result that we obtained.
