Abstract
1. 1. A method of obtaining continuous records of temperature is described in which the movements of beams of light reflected from the mirrors of galvanometers connected to thermocouples are photographed. 2. 2. relatively mild obstruction to the circulation of the extremities obtained by use of pressure cuffs about the arms and legs is followed promptly by rise in rectal temperature. 3. 3. In a warm environment, the rise of rectal temperature tends to be greater and the fall of surface temperature less than in a cool environment. 4. 4. The results suggest that the relatively mild and short obstruction to peripheral circulation used in these observations brings about elevation of rectal temperature and is consistent with the belief that elevation of rectal temperature encountered in the course of heart failure may be due simply to slowing of the peripheral circulation.
