As regards their performance after this briefer period, we have complete figures only for the second of our procedures in computing oxygen consumption. The mean of these four values is , which is plainly intermediate between (before the transfer) and (one day following the transfer). The significant features to be observed in the behavior of these four lots of fishes at the close of a day following transfer are (1) the great fall in metabolic rate in the cooler water; (2) the inverse correlation be- M-M M-P .70 £5 .60 .55 .50 .45 .40 .35 .30 .25 039. FIG. 4. Rate of oxygen consumption of same group of Mormon Spring fishes: (1) at Mormon Spring; (2) after 1 day at Preston Spring. Ordinates = Solid and broken lines have same significance as in two preceding figures. Figures opposite brackets denote mean weights of the fishes of these respective lots. tween the size of the fishes and the rate of this fall, resulting in a marked convergence of—the curves for the four size-groups, which come to nearly a common level by the end of 24 hours. A question of considerable interest is whether the present figures give evidence that the respiratory metabolism of these warm-adapted fishes, when transferred to much cooler water, undergoes any such fall below the rate shown by cool-adapted specimens as had been shown in previous laboratory 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. ).
