1. Stretching of the frog's bladder has no certain effect on its oxygen consumption. 2. The oxygen consumption of plain muscle at rest is much higher than that of resting skeletal muscle. 3. In a frog at rest the total oxygen consumption of the plain muscle is nearly equal to the total oxygen consumption of the skeletal muscle. I am grateful to Professor Clark for suggesting this work and for his constant help.
