Each curve ends at the concentration at which the ventricle stopped in systole. B. A similar comparison of the effects of tryptamine, of noradrenalin, and of both simultaneously on the Busycon canaliculatum ventricle. C. The effects of tryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine on the amplitude of beat of the isolated Busycon canaliculatitm ventricle. DISCUSSION The pharmacological relations of the Busycon canaliculatum ventricle resemble those of other gastropod hearts. Acetylcholine has been shown to depress the beat of the hearts of the gastropods Bncchuun iindatiiin and Cyprina islandica (Welsh, 1956), Dolabclla auricula (Ebara, 1955), Cochlitoma zebra (Divaris and Krijgs- man, 1954), Helix pomatia (Jullien and Ripplinger, 1950), and irunculus (Jullienand Morin, 1931). Among the hearts listed above, tntncnlns has been reported by Morin and Jullien (1930) to have a small group of nerve cell bodies near the location where Carlson (1905) reports a ganglion in Bnsycon. However, Divaris and Krijgsman (1954) not only found no nervous elements in the white spot at the Cochlitoma scbra ventriculo-aortic junction, but also demonstrated the existence of.
