Extract

In a previous paper in this Journal (Vol. XIV, p. 967) a theory of the control of sex in the oyster by rhythmical changes in the general metabolism has been outlined and discussed briefly with the information at present available. As the connexion between metabolism and sex has long been regarded as important, and by some, e.g. Geoffrey Smith (1913), as all-important, this relation may be considered briefly with regard to modern views on the physiology of sex.
