New‐born pigs were exposed singly in a closed respiratory metabolism chamber to wind‐speeds of 5, 34, 82 and 158 cm./sec. at ambient temperatures of 20 and 30° C. A rise in wind‐speed increased the metabolic rate, but not as much as expected from a heated cylindrical model, probably due to reductions in mean skin temperature, and in effective surface area possibly due to postural change.
