Two groups each of white rats were irradiated with lethal doses (1100, 1000, 900, and 800 r), LD 50/30 d (700 r) and sublethal doses (400 and 100 r) using sieves with hole-diameters of 10- and 5-mm. The generai reactions, survival times, survival rates, the behavior of the absolute leucocytes counts and of the leucocytic resistance value, and the behavior of the bone marrow (histologically) were investigated. The reactions of the animals irradiated with sieves containing holes with diameters of 10 mm agreed in all essential points with the reactions of the animals irradiated with sieves containing holes with diameters of 5 mm. The results obiained with these two different hole-diameters agree with the opinion of Seidel, that the general reactions after irradiation using those sieves depend only upon the dose and not upon the hole-diameter.
