Table 8 shows the rates of nerve-conduction hi subumbrella tissue of 

 Cassiopea xamachana in Tortugas sea- water of P H 8.1 to 8.2 diluted 

 with non-aerated distilled water of P H about 6 (H-ion concentration 

 0.9X10" 6 ) at 29 C. The rate in undiluted sea- water is taken to be 

 100. The experiments were conducted at Tortugas, Florida, in June 

 and July 1916.
