Abstract
1. Ingestion of 1 l. water at 37° C had no effect on the rate of water loss from forearm and hand skin although ingestion of a similar volume at 16° C significantly decreased the rate.
2. Ingestion of 1 l. water at 37° C had no physiologically significant effect on the expiratory minute volume.
3. Ingestion of 500 ml. water at 37° C caused small increases in total body weight loss in environmental temperatures of 29 and 40° C.
4. It is concluded that neither cutaneous nor respiratory water loss play an important part in the excretion of a water load in man.
