Extract

1. There was no evidence that the higher body temperature of the chick, compared with other animals, conferred any advantage on it in the digestion of high melting-point fats, as exemplified by mutton fat.

2. The digestibility of linseed oil ranged from 95·0 to 99·9%. The highest digestibility observed for mutton fat was 88·1%.

3. The capacity to digest considerable quantities of linseed oil was rapidly developed in the chick. Adaptation to digest mutton fat was much slower.
