Although the piscine cardiovascular system is very much less complex than the mammalian, they are morphologically homologous and any information regarding the regulation of such a relatively simple system is likely to be of value in the elucidation of the functions of the more complex structures present in mammals and other higher vertebrates. The piscine cardiovascular system is not only structurally simpler than the mammalian, but the heart is more widely separated from the gill arteries in fish than is the heart from their homologues in mammals and this allows of more experimental interference than is always feasible in the greatly condensed mammalian system. It therefore seemed worthwhile to undertake an investigation of the circulation in the intact anaesthetized eel in an effort to add a little to our knowledge of non-mammalian vertebrate circulations. Apart from the work of McWilliam (1885) on the intact eel and of Keys & Bateman (1932) on the perfused heart-gill preparation of the eel, little work has been done on the physiology of the teleost circulation. This paper describes some experiments on the anaesthetized eel.
