Studies of temperature effects on the rate of cell division and survival of paramecium irradiated with 150 to 300 r at 3 to 4 deg C with incubation at 12, 21, and 28 deg C showed that an increase of incubation temperature shortened the time interval before cell division began. The survival of infusoria after the first day following irradiation was reduced. Tabulated data of the survival of paramecium at various incubation temperatures and doses showed that radiation injuries increase with lowered cultivation temperature. Hence, the data confirms the previous assertion that recuperation processes depend on temperature more than on initial injuries. (R.V.J.)
