Abstract
Abstract : Electrocardiograms of four monkeys were recorded during exposure of the animals to air slowly heated 5 -8C above room level. Neither rectal nor skin temperature was affected. Deceleration of the heart and increase in T-wave amplitude under these conditions are noteworthy phenomena. As a control, EKG records for two of the monkeys were similarly recorded during exposure to slowly cooling air. Rectal temperature showed a very small change. Heart rate and respiration rate increased and T-wave amplitude decreased considerably.
