JUDSON tude of the effect in the concentration range 10~10 to 10~G varied considerably and it is not likely that the Stichopus vessel, despite its high sensitivity, would make a satisfactory assay material for acetylcholine. Physostigmine in moderate concentrations inhibited the vessel, but a concentra- tion of 10~10 in sea water had no effect alone; however, after treatment with this concentration of eserine, acetylcholine at 10~1G, which had previously been ineffective, caused a 25 per cent slow

Nicotine inhibits the Stichopus vessel. Thresholds varied, but in two prepara- tions, significant inhibition was observed at a dilution of 10"11. One preparation gave the following percentages of inhibition at the dilutions indicated: 10 9, 15 per cent; 1O8, 43 per cent; 10~7, 57 per cent; 10~c, total cessation of beat.
