426 UPON BODY TEMPERATURE. appendix. 



Feb. 9 (98*65). — Open air, in shade, at the highest point attained on 

 the south side of Illiniza. Exertion had been severe and continuous since 



8 A.M. 



Feb. 18 (98-2). — In tent, close to the summit of Cotopaxi, Taken after 

 ascending from the first canip (a rise of about 4400 feet). Barometer stood 

 at 14-798 inches. Experienced headache and gasping for breath on the 

 18th, but no headache on the 19th. Bodily temperature did not seem 

 affected at all. 



Feb. 20, in tent ; Mar. 6, indoors, do not require mention. 



Mar. 10 (98"6). — Open air, on the summit of Antisana. The reading 

 was taken after a meal. Exertion had been severe and continuous since 



6 A.M. 



Mar. 22, in cave ; Mar. 25, indoors, do not require mention. 



April 3 (99*1). — In tent, camp on Cayambe. Felt feverish, and could 

 only attribute it to exposure on March 31. 



April 4 (97*1). — Open air, on the summit of Cayambe. The reading 

 was taken one hour after arrival at the summit. Exertion had been con- 

 siderable, and nothing had been eaten since 4 a.m. 



June 8 (97*9). — In tent, camp on north side of Illiniza. In the months 

 of April and May I was almost continuously unwell, and frequently feverish, 

 but by the commencement of June bodily temperature had fallen to its usual 

 level. 



June 28, 29 ; July 1 (97-7-98-4).— On Carihuairazo. The differences 

 recorded on these days are accounted for by the readings having sometimes 

 been taken before and sometimes after meals. 



July 2 (97'8) — In tent. Does not require mention. 



July 3 (96 "3). — Open air, on the summit of Chimborazo. There was a 

 moderately strong and cold wind. Air temperature was 15° Faht. Had 

 eaten scarcely anything since 5 a.m. This was the lowest record on the 

 journey. 



July 5 (98'25). — In tent. Bodily temperature had by this time risen 

 again to its ordinary level, and it fluctuated very slightly until return to 

 Panama. 



Aug. 3 (99*2). — Indoors, at Panama. The increase is to be attributed 

 to the hospitality of the residents on the Isthmus more than to the deadly 

 nature of its climate. On August 7 the maximum was attained (101°), but 

 from that time temperature commenced to diminish, and on 



Aug. 14, at St. Thomas, with almost the highest air temperature which 

 was noted on the entire journey (84°), it had again fallen to its ordinary 

 level.
