METHOD The experiments were made on the largest axon (diameter 500-700,) of the stellar nerve of Loligo forbesi. The mounting of the fibre, insertion of the microelectrode and the method of recording action potentials and rates of potential change have been described by Hodgkin & Huxley (1945) and Hodgkin & Katz (1949). The temperature was varied by replacing the sea water-bath around the axon (about 100 cc) and was read on a thermometer inserted close to the nerve. The effects of temperature change on the spike and resting potential were established without noticeable lag, provided that the tem-perature was not raised much above 350 C., at which point the axons tended to fail progressively. It was, therefore, possible to obtain a continuous range of measurement by allowing the bath to
