release was induced by intracoelomically treating the specimens with 0.5M KC1. The harvested eggs were then rinsed thoroughly in Instant Ocean, (Aquarium Systems Co., Mentor, Ohio) (pH 7.801, a synthetic marine water mix. Male urchin testes were removed, placed in a petri dish, and maintained at 4ยฐ

I n a recent paper it was reported(1) that the fragility of certain mammalian erythrocytes is increased by testicular extract. In the last analysis such a change in erythrocytes signifies an increase in their permeability to hemoglobin. Since there was a certain amount of evidence from the work of D
Three years ago I showed that if the unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus are exposed for a minute o r longer to a solution of non-electrolyte (urea or glycerol), isosmotic with sea water and at a p H of 7 or 8, such eggs lose irreversibly the power of forming membranes
## Abstract Contents of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, coenzyme A (CoA) derivatives, and carnitine derivatives were estimated in the developing eggs and embryos of the sea urchin, __Anthocidaris crassispina__. Levels of the TCA cycle intermediates in unfertilized eggs were simila
