回顾了旨在建立新陈代谢和生长之间联系的工作。在不同的动物类别中，代谢率对身体大小的依赖可以区分为3种代谢类型或形式：代谢率与表面积的比例，或与体重的比例，或介于表面积与体重比例之间的一种。讨论了关于新陈代谢的大小依赖的各种理论，特别考虑了组织呼吸与身体大小的关系。作者提出的动物生长的一般理论可以解释代谢类型和生长类型之间的联系，后者通过有关物种不同的生长曲线来区分。无脊椎动物和脊椎动物的例子说明了这一理论。
Work aimed at establishing connections between metabolism and growth is reviewed. In the various animal classes, 3 metabolic types or forms of dependence of metabolic rate on body size, can be distinguished: proportionality of metabolic rate to surface area, or to weight, or one intermediate between surface and weight proportionality. The various theories regarding the size dependence of metabolism are discussed, with particular consideration of the relation of tissue respiration to body size. A general theory of animal growth, advanced by the author, permits explanation of the connection between metabolic types and growth types, the latter distinguished by different growth curves of the species concerned. The theory is illustrated by examples taken from invertebrate and vertebrate classes.
