Ail measurements were taken in the s position in the right 

 part of the mouth after staying in a warm room. 



Like the mouth temperature, the temperature of the skin is 

 very much dependent on the outer temperature. This has been 

 shown by Oehler^ whose work will be dealt with later. 



The condition for this appearing distinctly however, on measuring 

 indoors and reading the temperature on the head, is that one's brain- 

 work should be uniform during the measuring period, this, as 

 above-stated, being of no slight influence at any rate on the temper- 

 ature of the forehead. If the temperature round the right and left 

 side of the head is not the same, the direct dependence of the skin 

 temperature on that of the air can be proved without paying any 

 regard to the work of the brain.

All readings were taken in an s position, the measurements 

 each 10 minutes. During the whole period I was engaged in wri- 

 ting, except during lunch from 12 to about 1230. Where two num- 

 bers are given for the temperature in the room, the latter has risen 

 so much during the measurement as is represented by the difference.

 of 15 meters from the stove, wherefore the radiating heat Avas at
