Since both Squads A and B were upon reduced diet, A at maintenance level, and B in a transitional stage, the primary object of this record of activity was to find the influence, if any, of the reduced diet upon the number of hours spent in the various activities other than sleeping and sitting. Since both squads were on diet, the values for a squad not undergoing dietetic restriction are of special interest. A group of volunteers kindly offered to make records for a corresponding time. The longest periods were from January 11 to February 3, but there was considerable irregularity in the length of the record. Nevertheless, for most of the group, the picture is probably not far from true. The results are recorded in table 196. The men were lying usually not far from 8 hours, the most pronounced exception being that of Edwards, with but 6 hours lying. The time spent in sitting varied from 6 to 12£ hours, with very considerable irregularities and no modal value. The number of hours of walking was greatest with Erickson, 8 3/4 hours. This was probably due to the fact that his record includes 4 Sundays with 15 hours walking each, and no time for sitting. This is doubtless an exaggerated statement. On the other hand, Davis, who assisted in the pulse records and was thus used to making accurate reports, had an average of 7 3/4 hours per day of walking. The exercise more strenuous than walking, except for Edwards with 3 1/2 hours, and Barckley with 2 3/4 hours, was not far from 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
