Experiments determining the recovery heat-production in oxygen after a short tetanic stimulus have been described on various occasions,e. g. , by Hartree and hill (1) (2) and by Hartree and Liljestrand (3). In employing the results of these experiments to calculate the "oxidative quotient for lactic acid" as defined by Meyerhof (see, for example (4). p. 567), viz.: (Lactic acid removed in recovery) / (Lactic acid-or carbohydrate equivalent-oxidised) a complication arises in respect of the anaerobic delayed heat (see 1, 5 and 6).
