%X Minimal erythema was produced in the skin of three Merino sheep, which had been denuded with cyclophosphamide, with I . I sunburn units of solar erythemal ultraviolet radiation, as measured by a magnesium tungstate detector. The pigmented skin of two Suffolk sheep required 1·7-4·2 sunburn units, depending on the degree of pigmentation. A single dose of 5 sunburn units induced encrustation of the skin 4 days later in both the Merinos and Suffolks.
