There was a positive linear relationship between num- ber of eggs and wet mass (Fig. 6). At a Po2 of 200 torr. the brood pouches of an 800-mg animal contained an average of 50 more eggs than those of a 300-mg animal. Rearing temperature (mean cyclic temperature of either ° or °C) had no effect on the relationship between body mass and egg number. The slope of the regression line for animals raised at elevated ambient oxygen tensions (200 torr) was significantly greater than that of the regres- sion line for animals raised at oxygen saturation (125 torr O::/> CO 600 ] 400 200- • -High temp cycle x-Low temp cycle.

Squares represent mean wet mass for animals raised at a mean temperature of °C. cycled between 19° and 31°C (r = - , r2 = ). Crosses represent mean wet mass for animals raised at a mean temperature of °C. cycled between 19" and 29°C (y = - , r2 = ). Positions ot regression lines were significantly different (p < )..
