Preliminary reports from this laboratory (1) have emphasized the relationship between the regional rates of insensible water loss and the vapor pressure of the skin. Skin vapor pressures were calculated from the equation developed for determination of skin humidity. Evidence indicates that calculation of skin vapor pressure from skin temperature alone, disregarding the role of relative humidity of the skin, is not valid.
