Parts of the curves for these two periods are given in figures 52 and 53. Average barometric pressure, mm.; average temperature of air in apparatus with Mueller valves, ° C.; with spirometer unit, ° C. J. J. G., March 19, 1913.—Mueller valves and Tissot spirometer, 3 periods; spirometer unit, 3 periods; preliminary period, 1 hour 5 minutes; periods with two methods alternated. Subject arose and urinated at 9h 25m a. m.; drowsy in second period with spirometer unit. The values for the carbon-dioxide production and oxygen consumption in the first period with Mueller valves are not included in averages, as there were indications that the sample of air was contaminated. Pulse-rate uniform in all periods. Respiration-rate before experiment, 21 per minute; during experiment very regular in type and rate. Average barometric pressure for Mueller valves, mm., and for spirometer unit, mm.; average temperature of air in apparatus with Mueller valves, ° C.; with spirometer unit, ° C. /. J. G., March 20, 1913.—Spirometer unit, 4 periods; Mueller valves and Tissot spirometer, 4 periods; preliminary period, 29 minutes; periods with two methods alternated. Pulse-rate regular throughout experiment. Respiration- rate before experiment, 19 per minute; during experiment, fairly regular in depth. Average barometric pressure, mm.; average temperature of air in apparatus, ° C. with Mueller valves and ° C. with spirometer unit. FIG. 52.—Types of respiration of subject W. J.
