In a recent paper (Makarieva et al。， 2005a) we criticized the distributive network model of Banavar， Maritan and Rinaldo (BMR) (1999)。 We demonstrated that the proposed derivation of the 3/4 scaling for whole-body metabolic rate B， B alpha M~(3/4)， where M is body mass， is mathematically controversial。 We also stated that the controversy persists in the subsequent development of the model by Banavar， Damuth， Maritan and Rinaldo (BDMR) (2002)。 In their response Banavar et al。 (2006) accepted our criticisms of the 1999 model but disagree with our criticisms of the 2002 model。 In the present paper we undertake a detailed analysis of the BDMR model to support our earlier conclusion。
