IT HAS been known for some time that hot climates reduce egg weight, and that all the components are affected (Bennion and Warren, 1933; Warren and Schnepel, 1940; Warren, Conrad, Schumacher and Avery, 1950). Thus the weight at different seasons of the year is in part dependent on endogenous factors and in part on climate (Miller and Bearse, 1934; Warren, 1939; Jeffrey, 1941; Skoglund, Tomhave and Mumford, 1951). Information on the subject has so far been gained by studies in natural climates, or in artificial climates where the temperature has been the same during day and night-time. It is uncertain how far effects of climate are due to a high average, and how far due to a high maximum temperature. Recently Rosenberg and Tanaka (1951) have suggested that in tropical climates where the seasonal variation of temperature is small, and where high maximum temperatures are not encountered, the effect of …
