Abstract
Comparison of the daily nitrogen output in periods of three hours in pregnant dogs as compared with the same dogs non-pregnant, on the same diet and living under identically the same conditions, shows that the form of curve is essentially the same in the two conditions. In the pregnant condition the total curve runs below that of the non-pregnant condition at a fairly uniform distance, showing that the retention for the embryos and auxiliary structures is fairly uniform from hour to hour.
