✦ Synopsis
It has been adequately demonstrated that marine teleosts must normally swallow, and absorb from the gastro-intestinal tract, relatively large amounts of sea water in order to maintain osmotic equilibrium; in fresh water teleosts, on the other hand, such swallowing apparently does not occur, though large amounts of water are absorbed by the organism, presumably through the oral membranes (Smith, '30, '32; Keys, '33; Grafflin and Ennis, '34).
