1. Membrane currents during step depolarizations were measured in axons which were perfused with 300 mM‐NaF and placed in K‐free artificial sea‐water, −0·3–4° C. The Na conductance was fitted by the modified Hodgkin—Huxley model,gNa=ḡNam3(h1+h2). Changes inh1andh2were assumed to follow [Formula: see text] wherexrepresents the inactive state.2. The rate constants and steady‐state values formwere in agreement with the Hodgkin—Huxley equations except that the experimental relationship ofm∞3againstVwas shifted 10–15 mV in the negative direction. This discrepancy, which was not found in an experiment with choline sea‐water, can be explained on the basis of a resistance in series with the membrane between the voltage measuring electrodes.3. At 0° C the rate constants (in msec−1) associated with changes inh1andh2were fitted using the following equations: βh1= 0·5/{exp [− (V+ 32)/10] +D1exp (−V/V1)}, αh2=pexp (V/V2), βh2=pexp (V/V2−V/23·5) +pD2, with the condition that at 0 mV, (αh2+ βh2) =p(D2+ 2) = 0·55 msec−1. The experiments gave average valuesD1= 3·6,V1= 240 mV,p= 0·08 msec−1andV2= 70 mV. The average value ofḡNawas 66 mmho/cm2.4. At negative voltages wherem∞3againstVis steep, the points for βh1and αh2/βh2from axons in Na sea‐water were not fitted well by the above equations whereas data from an axon in choline sea‐water were. These discrepancies can be explained on the basis of a series resistance.5. Measurements made at 16–17° C indicated thatḡNahas aQ10of 1·6, τm−1aQ10of 2·8 and βh1aQ10of 3·5. The ratio αh2/βh2was decreased relative to the value at 0° C and could be fitted by usingQ10= 0·6.6. Measurements made with 250 mM‐NaF + 50 mM‐KF inside gave rate constants which were very similar to those obtained with 300 mM‐NaF. Perfusion with 300 mM‐KF appeared to double the value of βh1, relative to that obtained with 300 mM‐NaF, and to reduce αh2/βh2by about half.7. The voltage dependence of αh2makes it likely that following depolarization recovery from the inactive statexoccurs viax→h1rather thanx→h2→h1.
