To determine whether the diurnal variation in body temperature is due to the combined effects of the various influences which are known to act upon it, such as muscular exercise, the ingestion of food, sleep, etc., or is present independently of these, the daily routine of the individual who is the subject of the experiment may be reversed artificially by causing him to work during the night and rest and sleep during the day, or it may be modified in another way, viz. by rapidly changing his longitude in a journey from west to east, or vice versa. If the temperature of the body is dependent on the influences mentioned, then a total reversal of the daily routine, or any modification of it, should produce a corresponding change in the diurnal temperature curve.

page 234 note * In a recent paper (Report of the Danish Expedition to the North-East Coast of Greenland, 1906–8, vol. xliv., 1910, p. 1; Reitzel, Copenhagen) Lindhaed, unaware of Gibson's work, gives to Osborne the credit of being the first to adopt this method of changing the daily routine, and makes no mention at all of Gibson's name in this connection. As a malter of fact priority, by three years, belongs to Gibson, and besides, his observations were much more extensive and complete, and his results far more definite than those of Osborne.

page 248 note * On two or three occasions in the control period at Ithaca the rapid rise from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. is associated with a walk up a rather steep hill after breakfast in hot weather and shortly before the 9 o'clock observation was made. This is apt to give a wrong impression when comparing the curves at Ithaca with those obtained subsequently.
