Abstract
EACH of six mouse litters (taken from mice that had spent their pregnancy period in the cold environment of 50° ± 5° F.) was divided into two nearly equal groups A and B at weaning time. Group A was kept in the original cold environment and the other group, B, was transferred to the hot environment of 92° ± 1° F.
