Abstract
FREQUENT reference has been lately made to the thermometrical results obtained by Dr. Lortet while walking up Mont Blanc, in which, as stated by Dr. Corfield in NATURE of Dec. 1, his temperature fell about 4°C. in ascending nearly 4,000 metres. Mr. E. R. Lankester informs me that when undertaking the same journey, he also found his temperature much lower when he was up high than when he started.
