The cilioexcitatory effect of increasing amounts of K decreased with time. There was also a gradual increase in the lag period produced by K"^. A dosage of 400 mM K"^ which was previously maxi- mally cilioexcitatory was virtually ineffectual at the end of the time period. Discussion The above experiments show that increasing amounts of K+ in the perfusate enhance the average rate of beating of lateral cilia. A momentary lag period of 3 s is first observed before cilioexcitation is initiated. The lag effect of K+ supports the view that the response is related to the excitable properties of the lateral Fig. 3.
