Nails are driven through the frame around the center hole to hold the heavy blubber in place. Measurements of the skin of land animals were made with the frame suspended in air at 0° C. reaching equilibrium. The determinations were made with the fur ruffed up as much as possible for maximum insulating values. Among arctic animals the insulation of the fur is so large that the hide comprises a relatively small part of the total insulation. The thermal gradients observed in the fur of white fox and caribou showed the surface temperature of the skin to be substantially lower than that of the plate (Fig. 2). This is caused by some ex- WHITE HOTPLflTE 37. CARIBOL HOTPLflTE ijiKltS FUR 0 10 20 30 THICKNESS IM MM.
