METHODS Adult cats anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal; Abbott Laboratories) were used. After laminectomy in the lumbosacral region, the exposed spinal cord and roots were covered with paraffin oil equilibrated with 95% 02 and 5% CO2. Dorsal and ventral roots from L 6 to S 2 were divided near the cord. By an incision over the popliteal fossa the sural nerve was exposed and placed intact on stimulating electrodes in a pool of paraffin oil. Other nerves in the hindlimb and hip were cut. Single afferent fibres were isolated in filaments of dorsal root.Skin temperature was measured by a small bead thermistor introduced subcutaneously at some distancefrom the receptor under study and then passed under the skin until it rested a few millimetres from the receptor, pointing outwards against the skin. In this position it responded within a few seconds to changes in skin temperature produced by
