206 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
In the two experiments with Force the agreement in results © 
is likewise close, except in the case of the fat, the coefficients 
for which vary from 87.5 per cent: with one subject to 96 per 
cent. with the other. Closer agreement than this is hoped for 
in experiments of thiskind. ‘The reason for the large percentage 
of ether extract in the feces of EK. O. during this experiment is 
not clear. ‘The total quantity of fat in the diet was very much 
less than in his preceding experiments. 
In comparing the averages of the results of the experiments 
with the different breakfast cereals, it is noticeable that the 
variations are no larger than those between individual experi- 
ments with the same cereal. 
In the following table the averages of the experiments with 
breakfast foods are compared with corresponding results ob- 
tained in similar experiments with cereal food materials other 
than breakfast foods. ‘The coefficients for the different kinds 
of bread are in every case averages of results of a considerable 
number of experiments. In a large number of these the diet 
consisted simply of bread and milk; in the others sugar was 
also included, and in some cases butter was used, which would 
correspond to the cream in the experiments with cereal. In all 
of the experiments with bread, however, the quantity of cereal 
food formed a much larger proportion of the total diet than in 
any of those with breakfast foods.
