RESPIRATION EXPERIMENT NO. 3. 
In the third experiment the methods of operation had been 
considerably elaborated and improved upon, the force of ob- 
servers enlarged, while the experience gained in the two former 
experiments added materially to its successful completion. ‘The 
diet in the experiment was considerably more varied than in 
those preceding. The subject selected his own diet, and in 
order to avoid monotony, varied the daily menu by having 
canned peaches one day for dinner and supper and canned 
pears the next.

RESPIRATION EXPERIMENT NO. 4. 
The last experiment is more detailed than the previous ones 
and the observations were more thoroughly systematized. ‘The 
interest and enthusiasm of the gentleman who acted as subject 
added materially to the success of the experiment and per- 
mitted the collection of much more valuable data than would 
otherwise have been possible.
