Extract

In this paper the author gives an account of many experiments made on the loss of weights of different animals in their fresh state, when suspended, exposed to the air, from evaporation; from the results of which he infers, that it is comparatively greatest from the batrachians, not quite so great from fishes, less from mammalia, and least from birds.
