1 The subject lay down at 8 a.m. The pulse-rate at 8 h 20" a.m. was 72; at 8 h 24", & 27™, 8>> 32" a.m., it 
was 68. 
* Work was begun at 9 1 " 48" a.m. and for 5 minutes the subject rode at the rate of 112 revolutions per minute. 
After that the riding was somewhat interrupted because of blowing of fuses and about 8 minutes was 
lost from work. Sweating was profuse, but not abnormally so. 
J One record, at wrist. 
* After the preceding period work was stopped for about 21 minutes due to an accident in testing the re- 
sistance of the ergometer. During this time the subject sat quite still on the bicycle, without working. 
Work was resumed at 10 h 36" a.m. The subject felt cold and physically less fit. He had lost all hia 
eagerness, whereas he had felt in good riding condition before. Between 10 11 44" a.m. and 11 a.m., 
when the second period began, he rode at the average rate of about 85 revolutions per minute. 
* Work was finished at ll h 12™ a.m. The subject coughed once or twice in the first "lying ' period, and swal- 
lowed a little saliva. 
« The subject was very sleepy and there was a tendency for the lips to relax. The lips were plastered up 
firmly. 
7 Mouth was plastered up.

l The subject put his mouth to the mouthpiece 17 minutes before the first period was begun. 
1 Work was started at 9 11 35" a.m. Between 9>> 35" a.m. and 9 11 48" a.m. the subject rode at the average rate 
of about 96 revolutions per minute. 
* One record, at the wrist. 
* Between the two work-periods the subject rode at the average rate of about 73 revolutions per minute. At 
10" 13" a.m. he rode 103 revolutions in one-half minute and was in consequence very much exhausted. 
The subject said he felt in splendid form for work. 
5 At the wrist. 
« Work was finished at 10 h 46 m a.m. The subject lay down at 10" 50" a.m. 
7 The subject took 3 or 4 very long deep breaths during this period. He said he felt the need of breath. He 
was absolutely unable to urinate after the experiment.
