## Abstract Cells of marine species are known to establish osmotic balance with their environment by adjusting the concentrations of organic osmolytes rather than inorganic osmolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride. These organic osmolytes fall into three classes: polyhydric alcohols such a

## Abstract Presented here are the results of a preliminary investigation into ionic and osmotic regulation by the kidneys and rectal gland of the striped dogfish, __Poroderma africanum.__ Fish with ligated rectal glands showed an increase in blood concentration of sodium and chloride within a shor
## Abstract The role of free amino acids as solutes for cell volume regulation in marine molluscs under salinity stress is well established. Under hypoosmotic stress the intracellular concentrations of amino acids decrease by extrusion from the cells, followed by deamination and/or excretion. Howev
## Abstract The frequency of column contractions in __Hydra littoralis__ (taken as a measure of the rate of water elimination) is maximal at about 5 Γ 10^β4^M Na^+^, and falls off markedly at higher and lower concentrations, even though total medium osmotic pressure is kept constant by replacement
## Abstract We have applied the ferret, __Mustela putorius furo__, as a model for tooth replacement. Ferret has a heterodont dentition, which includes all tooth families, and all antemolar teeth are replaced. Compared with mouse, the ferret therefore has a less derived mammalian dentition resemblin
