Calculating the total heat-production of the women from the equa- tions for the regression of total heat-production on body-surface in men, and classifying with respect to body-surface, we have the mean calculated and the mean actual heat-production in the first section of table 80. Again the actual heat-productions of the women are without exception lower than those which they would have if they were men of like body-surface 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 Carnegie Institution of Washington.
