With a view to extend our knowledge of the physiological effects of temperature, with especial regard to the influence of tropical heat on the healthy system, Dr. Becher, with the liberal assistance of the Director-General, Army Medical Department, took advantage of a voyage to China (round the Cape of Good Hope) in 1857, and a short residence at Hong Kong, in order to determine on the influence of the extreme variations of temperature incidental to that voyage, on the quantity of urine, urea, and chloride of sodium excreted during each twenty-four hours.
