 note = {The vascular hunting reaction was determined on four groups; swimmers, students, ice-chamber workc1s, and cool-room workers. Determination of the vascular hunting reaction is performed as follows: The left middle finger is immersed up to its base in a water bath of O℃. Room temperature is kept at 22~24 ℃. Then three characteristics of the temperature change of the linger due to immersion in ice water are adopted as parameters of the reaction, and a "resistance index" is drawn from the values of each characteristic. "Resistance index" of ice-chamber workers was the largest, swimmers the second, normal students the third, and that of cool-room workers was the lowest. In the second place, effects of room temperature and clothing on the vascular hunting reaction to cold were tested under controlled conditions, and variations due to season and sex were compared according to the vascular reaction of the finger to cold. The higher the room temperature and the thicker the clothes, the higher were the characteristics of the skin temperature curve, but the "resistance index" became almost the same value in each state by using a calibration according to the finger temperature before its immersion. There was no sex difference in the vascular hunting reaction. "Resistance index" in winter was less than that in summer.},
