Each culture was in 500 cc. of water, changed weekly, and fed ad libitum. Numbers indicate the individuals per culture. In the less crowded con- ditions two duplicate cultures were averaged. The effect of volumes of water of varying sizes is illustrated in Fig. 7. In these cultures the proportion of surface to volume of water was nearly constant, so that only the one factor varied. The smallest aqua- rium was so small that practically all the space was occupied by the food supply, and the tadpoles were ultimately killed by fouling of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
