Description
The evidence for the lower temperature of the testes of many mammals is summarized, and the reasons suggested for the descent of the testes into a scrotum are discussed. Descriptions are given of the various techniques used for studying the effects of heat on the testis, whole body heating, local heating of the testes (by inducing cryptorchidism, scrotal insulation or immersion of the scrotum in a water bath), and heating of tissue or cell preparations in vitro.

Description
There is considerable variation in susceptibility between individual animals and between different strains, which appears to be due to differences in the ability of the animals to maintain testis temperature as well as in inherent susceptibility of the different germ cells.
