Abstract
Summary
1. The volume of nitrogen excreted from the body by way of the lungs, when a subject breathes pure oxygen for short periods, is found to vary with the size of the individual. 2.

The values obtained have been correlated with body weight and with surface area. Coefficients of correlation and regression equations are given.
