wholly on H. L. K. As this work was of necessity done al- 
most entirely at meal times, he frequently ate more hastily 
than was his usual habit. "This may have tended to decrease 
his food consumption to a certain extent, and the writer is in- 
clined to believe such was the case. 
Comparison with the other data included in Table 24 indicates 
that the food consumption of both subjects was small. Per 
kilo of body weight, the amounts of protein and energy 
obtained by the two were, in fact, lower than even the figures 
obtained with the Harvard students with little exercise, or the 
amounts called for by the commonly accepted standards for 
men with sedentary occupations. 
That the food consumption was adequate is doubtful. The 
record of body weights as given on pages 1 52 and 155 showsa 
loss in weight in the first five days of 9 pounds. for Gaines
