242 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
In conclusion mention should be made of the cooperation of 
several gentlemen in the work above described. Mr. O. S. 
Blakeslee has not only devised and made the meter-pump and 
other apparatus as above stated, but has also given many valu- 
able suggestions and rendered useful aid in the working out of 
other details of the respiration calorimeter and accessory appa- 
ratus. The calculations of the results of the experiments and 
preparation of the tables has been done very largely by and 
under the direction of Mr. A: P. Bryant. Mr. H. M. Burr 
has made a large number of analyses besides assisting in the 
conducting of the experiments and in various other ways. The 
determinations of the heats of combustion are largely the work 
of Dr. O. F. Tower, who has contributed materially to the ana- 
lytical and other details of the experiments. Mr. A. W. Smith 
has been connected with the calorimetric side of the work for 
several years and has had much to do with the conduct of the 
heat measurements. A large part of the electrical tests above 
referred to were made by him. In both the planning and the 
execution of this part of the investigation his services have 
been most useful. 
A large amount of most valuable suggestion and help in the 
development of the apparatus and methods has come from ie 
F. G. Benedict, to whose skill and ingenuity several of the 
important features of the apparatus are due and who has had 
an important share in the general supervision of the experi- 
ments. His name has appeared as joint author of the previous, 
and will have the same relation to future, experiments.
