In the rest experiments with special diet the average daily 
outgo exceeded the income by 15 calories; in the work experi- 
ments it fell short by 17 calories; in the average of both work 
and rest experiments (18, covering 36 days) there was an ex- _ 
cess of 8 calories or 0.3 per cent. of the whole. 
Considering the results of all the experiments the difference 
is 55 calories in nearly 500,000 or about 1 in 10,000; in those 
with J. C. W. alone, which were the latest experiments and 


are believed to be more satisfactory than those previously _ | 
made, it was about I in 20,000. It is clear that with ificrease
