I n general any depolarizing agent depolarizes the nerve more at greater concentrations. But potassium appears to be the only agent for which attempts have been made to determine the quantitative relation between the degree of depolarization produced and the eoncentration of solution used. Curtis and Cole ('42) measured the resting potential of the squid giant axon as a function of the potassium ion concentration of its surrounding fluid. They found that in the physiological range of concentrations, i.e., from 0.1 to about 5 times that of sea water, there was only a small eliange of potential with concentration, but a t liiglier concentrations the
