. The possibility of increasing the cell resistance to short‐wave u. v. rays has been investigated with some chemicals. Ciliated epithelium cells of gills of pearly mussel Unio crassus Phillipsson have been shown to become more resistant after treatment with 0 . 25–0.50 per cent solutions of calcium chloride during 24 hr or by 0.001– 0.001 per cent solutions of 2‐benzyl‐benzimidazole during 3–7 days or by 0.0001 per cent solution of 5–6‐di‐methyl‐benzimidazole during 7 days. When irradiated with u. v. light (λ=2537 Å) these cells survive for a longer time than irradiated control cells.
