Calculated Ratio of Relative Muscular Force of Horse to that of Bee. The Observed Ratio (Plateau) is ·523·5 = ·02128; so that the relative muscular force of the Horse is more than fourteen times as great in comparison with that of the Bee as it would be if the muscles of both animals were similar in kind, and the proportions of the two animals similar in all respects.
