Eggs of A. lumbricoides and A. suum in sandy soil cultures out of doors remained viable during the winter months of 1926-1927 at Baltimore, Maryland. During this time the temp. alternated almost daily between freezing and thawing. All stages of embryonic development appeared to withstand freezing and thawing temp. equally well. The warm dry weather of Apr. proved lethal to all eggs in all cultures, indicating that in nature, in sandy soil at least, the longevity of Ascaris eggs may be considerably shortened by these conditions. In an experiment with embryonated eggs of A. suum, dried at room temp. and exposed to a temp as high as 35[degree] C. for a short time, the embryos were all killed within 37 days; some were killed at 9 days, and at 28 days the great majority were dead. Eggs dried for a period contain a bubble of gas which aids in their destruction when moistened. A theory for the formation of this bubble is advanced. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: H. W. Brown
