Abstract
Repellents applied to the arms of three subjects did not affect tlie evolution of moisture, but dimethyl phthalate, diethyltoluamide, and ethyl hexanediol did reduce the carbon dioxide from two of the subjects and diethyltoluarnide reduced it from the other. Production of carbon dioxide was correlated directly, and production of moisture inversely, with natural attractiveness in the absence of repellents, but natural attractiveness was not correlated with the protection obtained with repellents.
