Abstract
THE Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, provides running sea water from tanks which are supplied by a pumping system from a point where currents and depth ensure purity. This water provides media for many biological experiments and its cationic constitution may be of significance. Water drawn from this system has been analysed for sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
