Extract

(1) Animals on a calcium-deficient diet suffer periodically from loss of appetite though the ration is in every other respect satisfactory.

(2) The results of twenty-two digestion trials show no enhanced effect on the digestibility of the organic constituents of the food on adding calcium carbonate to a lime-deficient ration.

In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to Prof. T. B. Wood, F.R.S., for giving me the necessary facilities to carry out the work; to Mr H. R. Davidson, M.A., for placing the experimental animals at my disposal and also to Dr H. E. Woodman for his active interest and supervision at all stages of the work.
