Abstract
PROF. H. MUNRO Fox shows that the oxygen consumption of English marine invertebrates is greater than that of northern species, each at the temperature of their habitat, and, since their activities are the same, he postulates a greater non-locomotory metabolism. Ciliary activity is parallel to oxygen consumption, but respiratory movements of the warmer-water Crustacea are no faster than those of colder-water species, and thus correspond to the similar oxygen consumptions postulated for locomotion.
