The usual preliminary period of days duration began with breakfast February 10, 1900, and ended with supper February 13. The subject entered the calorimeter on the evening of February 13 and experiment No. 26 began at 7 a. m. February 14, continuing 3 days. Experiment No. 28 began at 7 a. m. February 20, and continued until 7 a. m. February 23. Diet.--The diet consisted of a basal ration furnishing about 99 grams of protein and 1,982 calories of energy per day. To this, in experiment No. 26, was added 63.5 grams of butter, furnishing 1 gram of protein and 508 calories of energy. In experiment No. 28 the material added consisted of 128 grams of cane sugar, furnishing 507 calories of energy per day. The protein and energy were thus practically the same in both of the experiments. The kinds and quantities of food in the basal ration as served for each meal, the character and amount of the supplemental ration in the different experiments, and the quantity of drink consumed at different periods of the day in each experiment were as follows: Table 96.--Diet in metabolism experiments Xos. 6 and 28.
