Kinetic equations are derived which describe the effect of thermal fluctuations upon tracer oxides on the surface of diffusion specimens. The rate of metal oxide reduction by such fluctuations is shown to be consistent with observations on the near-surface effect (NSE) of diffusion. In particular, t
