The calculations in tables 55 and 56 beyond are partially 
explained by the letters and algebraic formulas at the tops of 
the columns. Thus column d indicates the gain or loss of 
nitrogen. ‘That of the first day, for instance, is computed by 
adding the amounts in feces and urine as shown in columns 6 
and cand subtracting their sum from the amount in the food 
as shown in column a. ‘Table 56 shows the income and outgo 
of energy and compares the protein and energy in the food 
eaten with that estimated to be actually oxidized. ‘The values 
given in columns z, 0 and # are actual heats of combustion as 
determined by the bomb calorimeter described in the preceding 
article of this Report. The values in columns g and 7 are
