If these eggs are placed in distilled water they swell up and ehrink again If they are returned from the distilled water to the sea water. In these forms distilled water has a mechanical action. This mechanical action may in itself inhibit protoplasmic movement. 1f sea urchin eggs be placed in very dilute sea water the pro- cesses of cell division cease These processes, however, go on again if the eggs are returned soon enough to the nor- mal sea In distilled water a muscle swells its power of contraction {eases: while this power returns if the muscle be Temoved from the water quickly enough Since this mechanical swelling does not take Place in isotonic sugar eolutions. in the case of the animal dilutic tenic su p £0 that and tissues of this group, a of the sea water or serum with fso- gRr solutions s more harmless than & sugar solution’is, however, also e animals as is proved by my experimenis and as 1 will show in a Igation.

() It follows from these facts that In th a water is puisonous when it alone is pre and Gamwarus dies quickly The toxicity of the NaCl is pre- the Ca and K salts contained In r. When present alone the K and tained in the sea water are aiso till greater extent poisonous. Th t is counteracted by the sodium | chlogide contained in the sea water. (gMFor the mutual counteraction of these | poisonous effects it is necessary that the con- | centration of the salts or fons which abt an- | tagonistically should stand in a definite rei tion to one another. This relation represents approximately tbat in which they are in nor- mal sea water. If one takes a sgolution in which the sodium chioride Is diluted tenfold, while K and Ca are present in the concentra. tion in which they exist in normal sea water, the animals die in such a solution in about & quarter of an hour.
