The heart was considered as " stopped " when all three chambers had ceased pulsating. EXPERIMENTS. (a) Recovery in Sea Water. The first set of experiments represents an attempt to determine the relationship between the time of immersion in KC1 and the time of recovery in sea water. Also different concentrations of KC1 were tried to see if the relationship varied for different strengths. For this purpose lots of from 40-75 eggs were chosen for each experiment. The heart of each embryo was observed to be in good physiological condition. Each lot was placed in a 22. 18. lOj 6_ 2.,. RECOVERY INSEAWATER-HRS 10 40 I 50 i 70 20 30 40 50 60 FIG. I.
