In both these researches no figures are given for the amounts of milk actually consumed by the animals. The present work is therefore the first in which a special effort has been made to include the (juantitative Chart I. Weight curve of young guinea-pigs upon a diet of oats and bran (nd lib.) and water, see Table I. -fs signifies death from scurvy. The general course of events in an unprotected guinea-pig, when grain and water alone are given, is seen on reference to Chart 1 and Table I. The details of 5 young guinea-pigs fed upon oats, bran and water ad libi/mn show a considerable degree of consistency. The initial weight, 2o0-3()() grams, is maintained, but barely exceeded, for a period of 1-"J to 18 days (see Chart 1), after which it gradually falls till at death the loss is 25-30 %-of the original. Definite scurvy symptoms were noted after periods of 17-22 davs: and death from scurvv occurred between the 23rd and 30th Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Biochemical Society (Great Britain); University of Liverpool.
