SUMMARY. A method is described which combines the use of a replica of the skin surface and the chemical demonstration of sweat adhering to it. The illustration of the precise position of the sweat gland openings and the ease with which these are counted are the main advantages. Applications of this method in health and disease are reported. It is suggested that sweat collection from selected glands might be studied over a period of time using quantitative methods outlined in this paper.
