Abstract
IN the physiological laboratory of the University of Sheffield a calorimeter -has been erected on the model of Atwater and Benedict's calorimeter, now carried by Prof. Benedict to a great state of perfection in the Nutrition Laboratory at Boston, U.S.A. The Sheffield copy is not at present a complete one, and its limitations are best detailed by a brief description ofo the problem in the solution of which it is hoped immediately to play some part. This problem is the nature of the physicochemical process underlying the phenomenon of muscular contraction, upon which some work has been in progress in this laboratory already along somewhat different lines.
