Abstract
INVESTIGATION of the hydrostatic skeleton in the invertebrates has generally been limited to the use of manometric techniques to determine the hydrostatic pressures involved both at rest and during activity1. Some workers, notably Batham and Pantin2, have based their results on manometer readings taken at frequent intervals, but there seem to be few reports of work using Continuous recording of pressure changes.
