Notes
Influence of the evaporation velocity on the desiccation death of the Rotifer Philodina roseola, was quantitatively examined. Animals, being almost equal in size, were desiccated one by one on slide-glass under the different drying conditions. Results obtained are as follows: the injurious effect of desiccation seems to be due to the loss of water from the animals beyond the fatal limiting value. When the desiccation was performed under the slower evaporation velocity, however, the fatal limiting value of the loss of water greatly increases than under the faster.
