Abstract
THE account of Dr. Forel's laborious and carefully conducted observations on the temperature of the body during mountain climbing, given in NATURE, vol. xii. p. 132, has recalled to mind the results of a few observations which I made shortly after the publication of Dr. Lortet's and Dr. Marcet's experiments. As my results are in the main confirmatory of those of Dr. Forel, they may not be without interest as a contribution to what, until the appearance of Dr. Forel's memoirs, was regarded as the heterodox side of the question.
