1 The resting value used in the second comparison on this day is the average obtained with the subject lying 
on the couch at the beginning of the day. 
* In the experiments of Mar. 6, Mar. 29, and Apr. 16, the respiration of the subject while lying on the couch 
was recorded for the full time of each period. The ventilation of the lungs was also recorded.
