Abstract
The author has applied the same equations, previously used in the case of bacterial as well as of human growth and metabolism, to growth and heat production in the developing toad The agreement with Gayda''s original values is close, giving a P. E. of [plus or minus] 0.020 gm. cal./gm./hr. These results again demonstrate a dynamical connection between the processes of growth (cellular reduplication) and those of heat production, because the peak, as well as the entire contour of the curve for rate of heat output depends directly upon critical effects arising out of the underlying phenomena of growth itself. The connection between growth and metabolism is entirely independent of the tenets of the surface law.
