Abstract

Data obtained from measurements of internal pO~2~'s with oxygen micro‐electrodes and measurements of oxygenation are used to interpret the respiratory function of Limulus hemocyanin.

In animals acclimated to 8Β°C the coelomic fluid pO~2~'s are lower than in those acclimated to 24Β°C.

Oxygen equilibrium curves of Limulus hemocyanin are shifted to the left at a lowered temperature.

The possible respiratory adaptations of Limulus to low environmental oxygen and their ecological significance are discussed.

## Abstract Measurements of the total oxygen content of post‐ and prebranchial blood in Limulus polyphemus indicate that hemocyanin transports less than half of the oxygen consumed in water but almost 90% in air. Half of the increase in hemocyanin function during air exposure is due to the occurren

Dinosaurs were among the most distinctive and successful of all land vertebrates. Attempts at reconstructing their biology have become commonplace. However, given the absence of closely comparable living models, deciphering their physiology necessarily remains speculative and determination of their
