1. The inulin clearance rate of a 100 g. Anodonta varies from about 0.2 ml./hr. at 0° C. to 1.0 ml./hr. at 18° C. 2. The rate of urine production, inferred from the initial rate of loss of weight in an isotonic solution, is 1.9±1.1 ml./hr. at 15° C., and is thus of the same order as the inulin clearance rate.
