Abstract
The following observations were made in 1871, during a passage from England to the Cape of Giood Hope and back, to verify and extend those published in the ‘Proceedings’ of this Society for 1869-70-71. I.
The Effect of Tropical Climate on the Respiration
. Table I. To show:—
First
, that in four healthy adults the spirometric measurement of the lungs gradually rose and fell four times successively in migrating between tropical and temperate climates, and we may therefore conclude that it invariably does so; second, that the second rise and fall are the greater, partly owing to an increased range of temperature (3°F.), but chiefly to the freer respiratory action of the skin.
