The Basal Heat Production of the Rhesus Monkey (Macaca Mulatta)

Nathan Rakieten1

Laboratory of Physiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven

1. The average basal heat production of eleven adolescent rhesus monkeys was found to be 608 Cal./square meter/24 hours.
2. A similar heat production was observed for the males and females.
3. Two experiments on one animal which received 35 mg. of sodium amytal/kilo gave results almost identical with those obtained on it under normal basal conditions.

1 When this work was done the author was a Porter Fellow of the American Physiological Society. The research was aided by a grant from the research funds of the Yale University School of Medicine. The author is at present in the Physiology Department at Massachusetts State College, Amberst, Massachusetts.

Manuscript received 29 May 1935.
