Abstract
Noctiluca miliaris Suriray is a well-known luminescent organism, and its light emission has been studied repeatedly. Hitherto, however, no attempt has been made to record the luminescent flashes of this species, either under normal conditions, or after experimental treatment. With the sensitive photo-electric recording methods now available it has become possible to subject the luminescent flashes of Noctiluca to experimental analysis, and with this end in view the present study of Noctiluca was undertaken.Keywords
