The contractions were about a half-minute in dura-tion, and the intervals between varied from thirty to ninety seconds,with an average of about one minute. The augmentations of intragastricpressure in Mr. Washburn ranged between 11 and 13 in twentyminutes; I had previously counted in myself eleven hunger pangs inthe same time. The rate in each of us was, therefore, approximatelythe same. This rate is slightly slower than that found in dogs byBoldireff; the difference is perhaps correlated with the slower rhythmof gastric peristalsis i
