886. Charles Cahell, the man who on this occasion lost the most, was weighed previously to the commencement of his work, with all his clothes off, excepting his shirt, which was kept dry and put on him again when weighed a second time at the end of his work. He was then immediately put into a warm bath at 95° Farh., and kept there half an hour: he complained of being weak and faint, and when reweighed had gained half a pound.
887. Day clear, with some wind. Temperature 60° 5´.

888. The two last men worked in a very hot place for one hour and ten minutes; all the rest worked about one hour. Michael Griffiths, as soon as he had finished his work, was put into a bath at 98°, where he remained half an hour. He was reweighed on coming out of the bath, and had lost 8 oz.
889. From these observations it appears that, towards the end of November, when the temperature of the external air was 39°, and the day was foggy and without wind, the greatest loss did not amount to 3 lbs. (2 lbs. 15 oz.), the least loss was 14 oz., and the average loss was 2 lbs. 3 oz.
