The larger co-efficients obtained for these substances in the ration 
may be due to their greater digestibility when mixed together. This 
would not seem at all improbable in actual digestion, but with arti- 
ficial solutions such would not have been expected. It is the only 
explanation we can offer at present, and without knowing whether 
the relation holds the same for each in the ration we can only caleu- 
late with certainty the digestibility of the ration. 
In table I are given the analyses of the substances examined, water 
free, in table VI are given the same calculated to actual water con- 
tent, or they may be considered as the pounds of each substance in 
100 of the feed. This table taken in connection with table I makes 
the analyses complete, and the last column gives the number of 
pounds, in 100 of the feed, of digestible nitrogenous matter.

ALBUMINOID NITROGEN. 
In most of the feeding stuffs examined, the albuminoid nitrogen 
has been determined by Stutzer’s cupric-hydrate method. 
The term amides is here applied to all that portion of the nitrog- 
enous matter not true albuminoids.
