Abstract

Monovalent cation salts induce reversal in the direction of the stroke of the cilia; bivalent and trivalent cation salts with a few exceptions do not. Some acids induce reversal, others do not.

The duration of reversed action varies with the kind of salt and with the concentration. As the concentration increases, the duration of reversed action increases to a maximum and then decreases to zero.

Bivalent and trivalent cation salts neutralize the effect of monovalent cation salts. The relative amount required varies with the kind of salt used and with the concentration.

The amount of a given salt required to neutralize another salt is not proportional to the concentration of the salt neutralized. Weber's law does not hold.

The results seem to indicate that ciliary reversal is associated with differential adsorption and consequent changes in electric potential, but that there are also other factors involved.

The occurrence of monstrous forms in paramecium has been mentioned by a number of observers, but has been studied in detail by very few. Simpson ( '01) found a doublemonster "composed of two full-grown Paramecia with organic union" between the parts. This monster lived for seven days, during which t

In the course of a general survey of enzyme systems in the ciliate Tcltrahyinena geleii S, it was found that the organism contains a n active acetylcholinesterase (ACliE) system. It was thought that this was the first demonstration of the system in a protozoan. A search of the literature, however, r
