G. Cawston In Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Throughout the Tropics the iron- gutterings which are fixed to the roofs of houses are exposed to auc- den changes of temperature which vary in a few hours from 120 to 80 degrees even in the shade; where they are exposed to the sun, as is usual, the sudden change of tem- perature must be far greater than this.
