1. In Bristol tap water containing 0.4 mM./l. sodium and artificial tap water containing 2 mM./l. sodium, Astacus maintains a blood sodium concentration of about 203 mM./l. This value was not markedly affected by starvation periods of up to a month. 2. Methods of taking small blood and urine samples from individual crayfish at intervals over several hundred hours have been described. 3. Under steady state conditions, curves for the uptake and loss of 22Na by the blood are described by equations derived for a one-compartment system. 4. The volume of this single compartment, which exchanges sodium with the medium, is larger than the actual blood volume by an amount roughly equivalent to the sodium in the tissues. Exchange of sodium between the blood and tissues is probably very rapid. 5. Sodium losses in the urine account for about 6% of the total sodium outflux found using 22Na. The urine sodium concentration of about 6 mM./l. was temporarily increased by conditions such as heavy feeding when the blood may have gained additional sodium. 6. Potential difference measurements across the body surface indicate that the high blood sodium concentration is maintained by active uptake of sodium.

I. When one of the supra-œsophageal commissures is divided , the whole body of the crayfish on the injured side is more or less enfeebled, with he exception of the swimmerets and possibly the gnathites. The change is most marked in the antennæ and eye-stalks, which barely respond to considerable excitation; and after these perhaps in the abdomen, the power of swimming or turning over being generally entirely lost. The muscles connecting the abdominal segments on the injured side are relaxed, and the tail-fin appendages on that side are no longer spread out in the normal manner, but remain more or less overlapping and hang down like broken limbs.
