No. 176. DIETARY OF A CAMPING PARTY IN MAINE. 
In the summer of 1895 four young men from Ig to 22 years of age spent some 
time canoeing and camping on the Allagash River, Maine. As they took their 
journey easily they may be considered as being engaged in light work. For 
part of the time they had a guide whose rations are included in the dietary. The 
whole time is estimated as equivalent to 115 days for one man. The following 
data as to the food consumption are from a record kept quite carefully by a 
member of the party. The weight of the fresh meat was approximate, 
and the composition was assumed to be that of average veal. No analysis of 
the food materials were made. While the estimates of quantities of nutrients 
lack the accuracy desirable in a dietary study they are yet of no little interest.
