The point to be emphasized is the gradual increase in the percentage content of fæcal nitrogen, associated with the changed diet and the general diminution of food intake. This is well illustrated by the following figures, giving the percentage of nitrogen in the dry fæces for the three periods of July 14-21, July 22-30, and August 11-13: July 14-21, 4.77 per cent Nitrogen July 22-30, 5.65 ” ” ” Aug. 11-13, 6.11 ” ” ”
