Available data are reviewed on the effects of ionizing radiations on the induction and maintenance of tbe stute of hibernation in mammals. It is concluded that lethality resulting from irradiation is greatly slowed in hibernating mammals. After the period of hibernation is ended, death occurs as in the case of nonhibernating-irradiated animals. Dlatinet differences were found between the ground squirrel and the dormouse with respect to the possible protection by cysteine given after irradiation. Only those dosages of radiation that are high enough to ellcit algns of altered function of the nervous system prevent the bat and the ground squirrel from entering hibernation. (C.H.)
