Notes: Summary 1. Exposure of the euryhaline teleost, Fundulus kansae, to 0.40 M saline for 14 days caused marked degenerative changes in the renal, interrenal, and leucohemopoietic elements of the head-kidney. 2. ACTH injections largely reversed the effect of exposure to saline. 3. Adaptation to sea-water caused a significant drop in the levels of circulating leucocytes. Since these animals showed a leucocytosis following cold-shock, it is concluded that the pituitary-interrenal axis remains intact but somewhat less active in sea-water than in fresh-water.
