The foregoing brief account will suffice to show that there is no lack of variety In this dietary, and the above table will serve to indicate the nutritive value of the several scales. Taken as a whole, the nutritive value of this dietary not only exceeds, under every heading, the adapted scale, which has been prepared from English Local Prison scales, but in most cases the amount of food actually issued is more than is given as a maximum dietary in either the Convict or the Local Prisons in Eng- land and Wales. The daily value of the diets for Bengalis ranges from 230 to 281 grains of nitrogen, and the carbon from 5,533 to nearly 6,000 grains. The value of the diet scales for Beharis and natives of Upper India generally ranges from 262 t 322 grains of nitrogen per diem, and the carbon from 5,533 to 6,312 grains. The fatty matters in the several diets range from a little under an ounce to a little over an ounce and three quarters, the diets in which maize forms a part being richer in fats than the others.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21296996_0852.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
