In other words, throughout this long period the average daily amount of proteid matter metabolized was 40.8 grams, only a little more than one-third the amount called for by the Voit standard. Until February, the body-weight gradually fell, but from the early part of February until the end of the experiment the body-weight remained practically stationary at 70 kilos. Dr. Mendel, however, from the necessities of his daily work in the laboratory was compelled to a much greater degree of physical activity than the subject of the preceding experiment, and consequently required a larger amount of non-nitrogenous food than the latter. Further, owing to his greater physical activity and the necessary variations in this daily activity, it was not so easy at first to attain equilibrium.
