ABSTRACT A study of the rather scarce and widely scattered literature concerning the respiratory exchange of Lamellibranchia shows that even under constant external conditions the oxygen intake of a given specimen is extremely variable. This phenomenon was observed by Mitchell (1912) and Galtshoff and Whipple (1930) in Ostrea, by Weinland (1918) in Anodonta, by Collip (1921) in Mya, by Bruce (1926) and Bouxin (1931) in Mytilus.
